No but seriously this is about as purely up to preference as discussions can get.

Let's talk about something more objective. Like how much GT gets a bad rep.

This song needs more love.

TBH I was expecting there would've been more comments showing love for Beast Wars.

[up]Beast Wars is awesome and anyone who doesn't like it is objectively wrong. Like, sure, it's their opinion but it's like saying you like reading a book only if it's covered in feces. It's your opinion but your opinion is wrong.

There :-P

They were actually considering putting Optimus Primal in The Last Knight.

Thank God they didn't considering how much of a bomb that turned out to be.

Beast Wars needs more love, but it shouldn't be associated with crap.

God, no. Keep Michael Bay far away from Beast Wars. He can f*ck up the cars all he wants but the monkey is sacred.

Let us pray Michael Bay & Paramount really never follows through on making a Beast Wars movie.

Cause we all know the jokes that are gonna be in there.

What they've done to the franchise is a crime against nature & humanity.

[up],[up][up]When I saw Masterpiece Dinobot, how can I say...
I had a boner.

What a beautiful action figure. Chew.


Masterpiece Cheetor.
Holy shit, they nailed it. Those beast mode facial expressions take me back to my childhood the last time I watched the show.

Why do these figures need to be so limited? Why aren't the Generations, Timelines, Legends and Masterpiece Beast Wars toys available in my local stores at mid-90s prices? I can haz Masterpiece Airazor?

On the topic of toys but closer to Dragon Ball, I wish that Botamo and Magetta got some proper toys. Botamo could be rubber and Magetta could be an amazing giant robot toy with a light-up chest.

What stands could defeat the Z Warriors?

Hmm. Well, there's no way to just power through their defenses with stand stats, so you need to find a way to get around them.

Just saying, all of these will be suprise attacks; in a fair fight Z warriors will win because of their unmatchable speed.

The Hand could. Same for Cream. Sticky Fingers could zip them into bits. Not sure if Gold Experience could kill them with pain. OFC, GER stomps, surprise or not.

There are definitely others but I'd have to think of them.

Pretty sure it simply can't do enough damage to get through.

Atom Heart Father could do it. Sure, Papa Kira couldn't actually damage them in the picture, but one of them would eventually go for the obvious solution of just ripping it up not realizing it would kill them as well and that would be that, especially since they lack Josuke's healing ability.

Cheap Trick would probably pull it off as well. These guys notoriously fall for such Schmuck Bait as don't look at my back. Goku in particular, would do it because he would both fail to understand why someone doesn't want him to do it, and because they were telling him not to.

Going outside of part 3, Empress would stand a good chance. Possess the body and eat it alive from the inside out. Steely Dan and his lovers as well.

Basically the brute force stands would be useless, but the ones that don't require the users to be suspicious, or can't really be fought with brute force could pull it off provided they don't get discovered before hand.

Edit: Whoops. Forgot about Death 13, and maybe (in a really good situation where they don't get their faces punched in first), either of the Darby brothers.

Jojo is one of those series where if you don't know the context for anything that's being discussed, it all just sounds like heavy metal albums got up one day to duke it out with j-pop.

This is true.

So, do we have any info on when the next proper episode is coming up?

I have doubts that Cheap Trick's strength is great enough to rip off the backs of any major Dragon Ball characters.

Tusk ACT IV, The world over Heaven, and Kars as he's protrayed in Jorge Joestar all could solo dragonball, even now.

I don't know man. It's an automatic function of looking at the back of whoever he's on. I don't think it's a strength thing.

Koichi tried to use gravity to pull it off Rohan, and only ended up tearing the latter's back.
