Beast Wars Writers To Guest Pen Animated Episode

Beast Wars writers Larry DiTillio and Bob Forward are returning to tell more stories in the Transformers genre with a guest writing stint on the third season of Transformers Animated, reports Unicron.com, citing "independent & credible sources."

The website also reports that the third season has finished recording and should begin with a multiple episode arc beginning "next spring." This is despite the show being pegged for a fall debut on Canada's YTV schedule.

The Lukis Brothers are reporting that Mr. DiTillio and Mr. Forward will be working on an epside entitled, "Predacons Rising," and "should be a surprise treat for all Beast Wars fans."

"Again let me emphasize, I have received this info on very good authority [and] that as stated above is NOT "internet rumor" as some sites have reported," Unicron.com's source writes.

"[The news] That Mr. Forward and DiTillio have returned to Transformers television story writing is fact, not just wishful thinking."

Mentally, yes. Physically, no. It would be cool to see him as a giant wasp (and a new mold) as opposed to just being a car named Waspinator.

Yeah that'd be as dumb as a car named Bumblebee.

The link the the BOTCON voive over acting gig, is PART 2 for the predacons/autobots not PART 1 Matt Booker. :P

D'oh! Oh well, part 1 should be easy to find and is well worth it for those who haven't, er, listened to it.

Im betting a rouge bunch of 'Predacons' come to Earth and Optimus & his crew have to fight them off. Im guessing Beast Megatron (possibly a different name like Galvatron, OR the japanese 'Deathsaurus', still they will have a Leader of some sort like Megatron) and then Wasp or 'Waspinator', Scorponok, BA (yes i agree. Saves them a new mold), and the equivilaint to Starscream, Terrosaur. Thats my guess, & im guessing they will be bringing in Optimus Primal too with a few Maximals. I also think this will be limited to a 2 part story and the rest of the series will not have them. Hopefully, if fan reaction is good, they can bring them back, OR do a seperate series later if sales & demand suggests so. This is what they are thinking, im thinking. This is all just specualtion but it still is a good 'guestimate'.

I wonder if we will see some maximals too. Predaking would be awesome

I also hope Wasp makes the transition to Waspinator

Didn't he do that in Prison?

Wrong spot

It wasn't a definite for a while, but the writers mentioned during a panel they were working on it.

However, judging from the news from Unicron.com, the series won't air until Spring? After YTV is going to air it in the Fall?

Ugh...

WHAT?! They're gonna F' up the schedule again?! And there is no more Fantransformers anymore. He's suspended from youtube. That Sux...

Cool, now all they gotta do is get Gary Chalk back and some people who can draw and Transformers can start kicking ass again!!!

They already have people who can draw, and it does kick ass. =P
