I have to go for Beast Wars. I never had a chance to see any RID episodes, and I am now addicted to Beast Wars. So the deck was kinda stacked to begin with. If you read the summer special. I think you would undestand my reasoning.

I want Beast Wars. While I liked the toys for RID better that the beast bots, Beast Wars had much better character development and better stories.

I'm voting rid b/c bw was better and I think dw could make a more serious story to go w/ this series. It'd be cool if they'd go more indepth into scourge's connection to prime, magnus' jeolousy, etc. If they did away w/ the stupid goofy stuff (that one woman who sideburn is always after, sideburn's infatuation w/ red cars, etc.) and made it a bit darker, it could be really good.

The problem I see with RID is. It stays with the kiddie oriented humor the series had. This has already been a turn off to me... Now the way Rattrap and Dinobot 2 talked to each other, and the way some of the others that never made it into the BW series showed up. Now that could prove to become an interesting story.

I voted BW, also. Although I like what Destro said about character development on Scourge, I have to go with BW because I am addicted to it....I like their character development and style better than RID....plus..the kid in RID was very annoying.... ;D

As I really like the rid toys, I voted rid. I watched quite some eps, and the story wasn't too bad. I've seen worse, and I actually can have that Japanese humor, like Skybite for example. BW already has a strong story, no need to reinvent the wheel.

BW - there was a lot that Mainframe just couldn't or wasn't allowed to do. There is even a "lost episode" which was never animated but made it at least just shy of storyboarding which was teh setup to the bridge between Dinobot and TM2 Dinobot.
RID was just too corny. Granted that was the US dub (I might be willing to watch an unedited subtitled version), but the mix of things just threw me off - Autobots vs Predacons, with stasis pods and Fort Max/Grand Max both in the mix ..... just felt too much liking someone tried to pick their favorite parts of the various shows and slap them together.

the kid in RID was very annoying.... ;D really? I think he's the least annoying kid of any tf series. I'll take him over spike, daniel or the armada kids any day. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Word of warning for those who haven't read the Summer Special yet - The BW story is a major spoiler for the end of the series!!!!! If you can wait, Season 3 should be out in the next few months .....
