I happened to like both factions in the Beast Wars Transformers universe but I leaned FAR MORE towards the side of the Maximals/the Maximal side for the EXACT SAME reason: The Maximals are the good guys/heroes battling against the Predacons, the bad guys/villains.
Rattrap was the best!! LOL
It was like a Maximal Starscream xD (with all the complaining). I did enjoy that show along with the one that followed. Used to be a TFs fan but somewhere I stopped watching the new shows.
