Characters you would've liked to have seen in BW

A while ago now, one of my mates gave me the download (or whatever it's called) for Beast Wars: The Ascending. I was pretty excited, as I didn't even know there were BW comics (great fan, ain't I? :lol: ).

It was great to come across a vast array of new and interesting characters, in particular, Lio Convoy, Razorbeast and the Blendtrons, who I find to be just freakin' awesome.

After discovering those guys in the comic, I couldn't help but wonder how cool it would've been to have seen them in the actual BW series. I know the comics came after the show, but, man, it would've been great... :)

Anyhoo... I ask you guys this: What characters would you have liked to see in BW? Whether they be from the comics, toy lines, or whatever! I'd just love to hear your thoughts.

Sorry if this topic has already been brought up before.

well Lio Convoy, most of the pack, Magmatron and quite a few of the cybertron based Transformers were in the Japanese series'

I would have loved Razorbeast to have been in one of them though :D

Wow... My signature does not fully justify how dense I can be. :oops:

My BW knowledge is terrible. I'll get there one day, though.

Ramulus.

The toy is just cool enough for that. I would have liked to have seen him.

well mostly transformers is aimed towards a male audience, hence why in toy aisles and catalogues have them under Boys Toys

I hate stereotyping in cartoons and other markets. If Hasbro and other higher ups could just understand the untapped potential the female audience is, they'd up their profit margins ten fold.
