Like it or hate it,Beastwars set the bar & rules for future TF toy lines.
Allow me to explain,with a few numbered examples:
(1)before the beastwars toy line. Their were no size levels in the assortment boxes.before the beastwars toys, their was no such thing as putting all deluxes on the same sized blister card & putting them all in a deluxe sized assortment box. the beastwars toy line gave TF,The very first size assortments sizes like basics,deluxes,mega & ultra.
(2)Before beastwars,their was no such thing as another Transformer media/toy character,being called by another transformers toy character. their was no one re-using names nor relatives passing down names.
(3)Beastwars set thec bar very high with the CGI animated series.
(4)Beastwars was the first CGI animated series,to feature a all canadian voice cast recored in canada.
(5)FWIW,Beastwars was the very first toy line & CGI cartoon series. TO FEATURE SMART/COMPETENT ANIMALS that transformed into robots. before that most transformers that transformers in animals had low intelligence,anger management issues,some didn't talk. some got ordered around by the vechicle/bots. before beastwars most animal/bots weren't that competent & needed to have vechicle/bots watching over them like baby sitters/guardians/care takers.
(6)other than Generation one's cartoon series. beastwars was the 2nd & only to this date to go into syndication. this is a mile stone. considering this hasn't happened for any other TF cartoon series after beastwars.
(7)Beastwars was the very first transformers cartoon to feature well deveopled written,dialogue & long story arcs/plots.
(8)Beastwars was the very first cartoon series to end each season with a cliffhanger.
(9)The beastwars toy line was a pioneer,as it was the first TF toy line to include additional sub names/titles/secondary brand names on the TF toys like Transmetal,transmetals 2,fuzors,Fox kids,etc...
(10)Beastwars was the very first transformers toy line & cartoon series to do a "SPIN OFF" into another cartoon/toy line,which was called Beastrmachines.
(11)Like it or hate it,the facts are,beastwars saved the transformers francise. Generation 2 didn't do that great & got cancelled. beastwars was kenner's idea who had just merged with hasbro a few short years ago.
(12)Beastwars is one of the only USA based toy lines to first feature the kenner logo on the toy packages then years later feature the hasbro logo on the toy packages. i'm not sure if later G-2 toy packages had the kenner logo on the toy packages.
(13)Beastwars was the very first TF toy line to use the transformers brand logo to help sell another transforming toy product hasbro owned called animorphs.
(14)Beastwars was the first & maybe only TF toy line owned by hasbro. to feature cancelled toys from another hasbro owned toy line called animorphs. as most are aware/mayb not. some of the cancelled animorphs toys got a bit of retooling & were released later on in the beastwars toy line by the name "beast mutants" that were sold as 4 deluxe toys.
(15)The beastwars cartoon,was the first TF cartoon media to explore relationships between males & females. showing kissing,hand holding,suggesting they dated & slept in the same room. exploring the possibilites of reproduction was possible & transformers weren't just made in factories by machines or built. transformers characters for the first time had relatives like moms,dads,aunts,uncles,sisters,bothers & so forth. before beastwars,everything before sugggested all the transformers were built in factories & might have been mildly related because they were either created at the same time,same day,using the same master molds parts,built by the same guy or whatever
