Here´s an interesting rumor. Rhino may be considering translating the Beast Wars 2 movie. Of course, this doesn´t fit with Armada in ANY way, shape, or form. Could Rhino be considering releasing the BW2 series in OVA form? Anime is hot right now, Transformers is hot right now. It may not be as far fetched as you think.

This is, however, in no way confirmed. I´ll have more on this story soon.

UPDATE: If it is released it may be in a purely subtitled format.
