So you're interested in
Transformers: Beast Wars, but don't want to watch all 51 episodes? Well, here at
Yeah Dogg
laboratories, we've developed this list of 21
Beast Wars episodes that span all three seasons of
Beast Wars and will give you a good foundation
for understanding
Beast Machines and future series' references. Yes,
Beast Wars and
Beast Machines play a little
with
Transformers continuity and
Transformers history, but those small exceptions aside, this is a good "prime"r
if you've either missed or don't want to watch the entire
Beast Wars series. (We also have a
7 episode version, but viewers will be somewhat confused.)
The episodes are in chronological order and we've tried to include episodes containing new characters, important character interaction,
good stories, and the important "Vok" interactions. The "disc" and "episode" number references after each
episode correspond to the Rhino DVD boxed set releases.

If you ONLY watch these 21 episodes characters MAY appear and disappear, change allegiances, or change looks, but the main storyline will
be intact.
And of course, this all leads up to the
Beast Machines series
which is pretty much a continuation of the
Beast Wars saga.
