Yeah, I'm a fan of that series as well. Well, more like Beast Wars and the Transformers film franchise.

Speaking of which, I'm not sure if it was intentional, but they made two references to the Mega Man franchise in the first Transformers film, both relating to Megatron. They are Mega Man himself, and Ice Man.
