Plot Summary

As the new series begins, the surviving Beast Wars Maximal team (Optimus Primal, Rattrap, Cheetor, and Blackarachnia, with Rhinox and Silverbolt M. Optimus Primal ( Convoy, later Beast Convoy to differentiate him from the original Convoy, Blackjack in some European markets is a fictional character from the Rattrap is the name of a fictional character from the Transformers toyline that appeared in the Beast Wars and Beast Machines Cheetor is the name of several Fictional characters from the Transformers toyline. Blackarachnia is the name of several Fictional characters from the various Transformers universes. Rhinox is the name of two Fictional characters from various Transformers universes. Silverbolt is the name of several different fictional characters in the various Transformers universes. I. A. ) return back to their homeworld, but the planet is completely devoid of life. Additionally, the team can't remember anything from after they returned to Cybertron. Cybertron is the fictional home planet of the Transformers. In the Japanese series the planet is also referred to as "Cybertron" (first shown on Japanese Galaxy A new race of Transformers, known as the Vehicons, have taken control of Cybertron and will stop at nothing to destroy the Maximals. The Maximals find themselves stuck in their original beast forms, and with no ability to transform into their more powerful robot forms. Optimus Primal is then summoned by an ancient supercomputer called "the Oracle".

The Oracle's cryptic messages foretold of a great change to come for the planet of Cybertron. It "reformats" Optimus and the Maximals in order to better equip them to face the threat to Cybertron, that being a virus that had been engineered by the rogue Predacon Leader Megatron. Predacons are a faction in the fictional Transformers universe created by Hasbro. It was revealed that Megatron had escaped during "Transwarp Space" from the past of the Beast Wars and had arrived in an unspecified amount of time before the Maximals exited Transwarp Space. Thus, Megatron had conquered the entire planet with his virus and extracted the sparks of the entire Maximal, and presumably Predacon, race. Transformers Generation 1 Although not officially the soul of a Transformer at this point Marvel comics would occasionally refer to the "spark of life" given to a Transformer

The Vehicons were shown to be a race of drones, automated and controlled by Megatron from the former Maximal Citadel. Without sparks of their own, the Vehicons at first proved to be easily defeated by the Maximals as the strain of multitasking (running the entire planet and controlling the Drones) proved to be difficult for Megatron. Megatron thus took three captured sparks and created three Vehicon Generals to take command of their respective drones; Jetstorm to command the Aero-Drones, Tankor to command the Tank-Drones and Thrust to command the Cycle-Drones.

It was later revealed that the sparks used to create these Generals were all known to the Maximals, two of which being former comrades and being forced by Vehicon programming to battle their friends, the other being the only Predacon, other than Megatron to survive the Beast Wars. The Maximals discovered Jetstorm, Tankor and Thrust were really Silverbolt, Rhinox, and Waspinator, respectively. Jetstorm is the name of several characters in the Fictional Transformers universes. Tankor is the name of several Fictional characters from the various Transformers universes. Thrust is the name of several Fictional characters in the various Transformers universes. Silverbolt is the name of several different fictional characters in the various Transformers universes. Rhinox is the name of two Fictional characters from various Transformers universes. Waspinator is the name of several Fictional characters from the various Transformers universes. After having his memories awakened by Rattrap, but still being influenced by the Vehicon programming, Tankor uses Rhinox's scientific mind to rebel against Megatron, with the aim of taking over Cybertron for himself. Rattrap is the name of a fictional character from the Transformers toyline that appeared in the Beast Wars and Beast Machines Apprehending and reprogramming Megatron's Diagnostic Drone, Tankor discovered the Oracle and learned of the existence of the Key to Vector Sigma, a device which could transform organics into "technomatter", Tankor faked his demise and allowed Megatron to learn of the Key's existence.

Megatron sought to use the Key as a weapon to destroy the Maximals, however Tankor used the Oracle to arm Optimus Primal with control of the Plasma Energy Chamber, a device that could destroy technomatter. Tankor then set up a showdown between Megatron and the Maximals in which he intended to seize control once they destroyed each other, however, Megatron had hard-wired a fail-safe into Tankor's body which caused him to shut down when Tankor tried to harm Megatron. Megatron and Optimus Primal both unleashed their weapons against each other and Cybertron itself was nearly destroyed, but the Oracle managed to intervene and prevented any harm to come to Cybertron.

Megatron, Primal and Tankor were apparently temporarily destroyed, however because of their link to the Oracle itself; they were each given the opportunity to choose their own destiny. Optimus Primal chose to return and carry out the will of the All-Spark. Rhinox was freed from the hard wiring that made him Tankor and he thus chose to rejoin the Matrix in atonement for his misguided deeds as Tankor. Megatron chose to separate the organic elements from his body (his driving desire since returning to Cybertron) and succeeded in doing so, however his spark was trapped in the wrong half and he became a totally organic Transformer known as Savage/Noble. Savage/Noble is a Fictional character from the Beast Machines animated television series a purely organic Transformer

His intended form, that being an enormous battle station in the shape of an altered version of his head (and able to transform into an alternate form of a powerful spaceship) was released on auto-pilot into the sky above the Maximal Citadel. As Savage/Noble, Megatron tricked the Maximal Nightscream into believing Noble to be another survivor of Megatron's virus and used the Maximals to gain entry to the Citadel where he was able to extract and free his spark from his organic-based form (the body lived on as a beast who followed Nightscream around but showed only animal intelligence) and Megatron was able to interface with his battle station form and remotely took control of Cybertron once again. The Maximals discovered an organic "Liquid Core" and a chamber containing fossilized bones, and were able to awaken Silverbolt (from within the body and programming of Jetstorm) and reformat him into a Maximal once more. However, his experience as Jetstorm turned him bitter, and Silverbolt lost his charismatic chivalry that had been his main character trait.

Having lost two of his original Generals, Megatron used the sparks of two new Cybertronians (that were said to be the greatest generals in Cybertron History,) and thus two new Vehicon Generals were created: Obsidian and Strika. Obsidian is the name given to several Fictional characters in the various Transformers universes. Strika is a character from the fictional Transformers series She is featured in Beast Machines and Transformers Universe. The Maximals also gained another member when an exploration ship returned to Cybertron in answer to a distress beacon set up by survivors of Megatron’s virus before they were all hunted down by the Vehicon Drones (with the exception of Nightscream of course).

Having adopted an alternate form based on the dominant life-form of the planet she was sent to explore (that of a sentient plant) the newcomer called herself Botanica. This article is about a fictional character For the type of store known as a "botanica" see Botánica. This character proved to be of much interest among the fanbase as nothing like her had ever been seen in Transformer Shows before. Botanica proved to be very powerful, and became central in Optimus Primal's plan to reformat the entire planet, and introduce organics to Cybertron.

The Maximals then learned that the sparks of the former inhabitants of the planet were being held within the massive battle station that was Megatron's new body. After launching an attack against Megatron in which the Maximals were nearly defeated, Nightscream witnessed the death of Savage/ Noble by Megatron and, in a rage, was able to depolarize Megatron's spark and force it from its battle station shell. The Maximals then gained control of the battle station and thus control of the displaced sparks as well. Megatron was forced to inhabit an off-line Diagnostic Drone as his Vehicon Army mounted a massive attack in an effort to reclaim his former base. Megatron's forces were able to deplete the power reserves of the battle station and force it to crash; then the Vehicon's vast numbers overwhelmed and defeated the Maximals, extracting their sparks and adding them to the collection in the process.

However, before his capture, the Maximal Cheetor was able to use the antigravity engines of the battle station to launch Obsidian and Strika into orbit around the planet. The only Maximal that was left to face Megatron was Optimus Primal, but to Primal's dismay, Megatron had taken a new form: one based on Primal's own former "Optimal Optimus" body, but stripped of its organic components. Megatron then released all of the captured sparks and absorbed them into his own (causing his form to swell in size) in order to form one perfect being. Megatron then blasted a hole to the core of the planet, exposing the organic liquid core.

Megatron separated Optimus from the Oracle, reformed the Key to Vector Sigma, and began to convert the organic core into technomatter. Once completed, Megatron intended to transfer his own consciousness into Cybertron itself, turn it into a perfect technosphere, and use Cybertron as weapon to conquer the Universe. However, the Oracle managed to reconnect with Optimus Primal, giving him the power to escape. Primal then interrupted the conversion process and tackled Megatron, knocking them both over the edge and into the organic core below. Primal said "The Great Transformation awaits, Megatron. Prepare to be. . . reformatted. " As they hit the core, Primal unleashed the reformatting process, releasing the sparks that were absorbed within Megatron and apparently turning the entire planet into a technorganic sphere. The Maximals awoke in their own bodies while the population was reborn into the new bodies of the reformatted Vehicon Drones, including Waspinator who returned to his original form (but with Thrust's head, and only the size of a real wasp). Waspinator's final words recall an end to the previous series: "Wazzpinator never gets what Wazzpinator wants. "

Other information

Written into a special edition comic book was a character by the name of Primal Prime. For a topic outline on this subject see List of basic Australia topics. Primal Prime is a fictional character from the Transformers toy and story lines Appearing only in this book, he was a side character to the Beast Machines story and later was written into the toy lines of both Beast Machines and Transformers: Universe. In the Universe story line he eventually gained a new body which combined with Apelinq to create Sentinel Maximus. Sentinel Maximus is a Fictional character from the Comic book series Transformers Universe.

The head writers used to post and answer questions on a message board known as Bottalk.

Beast Machines Toys

The Hasbro toys for Beast Machines are infamous for the fact that many bear little resemblance to the characters on the show, in both shape and color, and they were scaled out of proportion to each other. The reason for this was that although basic concept sketches were made of the major characters, the show creators and toy creators developed the characters independently from that point in the first year. After the first year of toys was released, a number of slightly more show-accurate toys were released.

Many of the characters created as toys never made it on the television series, although some did appear in the comic books. Oddly, the transforming plant Botanica from the television series was not made into a toy for any of the related toylines.

The toys released in the Beast Wars Returns (a release of Beast Machines in Japan) toyline by TakaraTomy were recolored to more closely resemble the show colors. Molds from the drones in the Vehicon Army, which bore more resemblance to the Vehicon Generals, were recolored and used as the Vehicon Generals instead in the Beast Wars Returns toyline.

A line of simple McDonald's Beast Machines toys was sold which did look more like the show characters, and this line was recolored for release in other countries by other fast food restaurants.

Non-Show Groups

A number toy sub-groups didn't make it into the animated series, but had small stories on their toy boxes.

Two deluxe sized vehicles that resembled heads of animals and could be ridden by larger figures. Both were redecoed once each, but their boxes remained unchanged.
Three sparkless Maximal drones that turn into weapons useable by larger toys. The Deployers are a group of characters from the Transformers toy and comic book lines All three were redecoed in new colors, but their boxes remained unchanged. The dark blue recolor of Rav was used to represent the character of Chro in the 3H Comic series.
A set of Maximals, all recolors of older toys from the Beast Wars, Beast Wars Neo lines. The Dinobots are several teams of characters in the fictional Transformers Universe.

Non-Show Characters

Beast Machines Mirage
Beast Machines Mirage

A number of characters appeared in the Beast Machines toy line who didn't make appearances in the television series. These included:

Transtech

After Beast Machines ended, Hasbro planned a follow-up series called Transtech. Transtech is an unreleased line of Toys under the Transformers umbrella The series was supposedly to bring back some of the characters who died in Beast Wars along with some characters from the original eighties cartoon series, all in new, more organic-looking bodies, though with vehicle alternate modes instead of the animals used in Beast Machines. Many concept sketches and even a few toy prototypes were made, but Hasbro scrapped the idea in favor of bringing Car Robots to American markets. Transformers Robots in Disguise is the title of the 2001 English- dubbed version of the Japanese television series Transformers Car Robot

Concept sketches or prototype toys have been seen for Blackarachnia, Cheetor, Depth Charge, Megatron, Nightscream, Optimus Prime, Scavenger, Shockwave, Soundwave, Starscream and a new character called Immorticon. Depth Charge is a character in the Beast Wars: Transformers universe Megatron This refers to the original character For other uses see Optimus Prime (disambiguation Optimus Prime (known as Convoy in Japan Scavenger is the name of several Fictional characters in the Transformers universes. Shockwave is the name of several Fictional characters in the various Transformers universes. Soundwave is the name of several Fictional characters from the ''Transformers'' universes. Starscream There were also rumors of a Transtech Dinobot. Dinobot is a fictional character from the Beast Wars Transformers universe

It is generally believed that the concept for Transtech Cheetor inspired the design of Transformers: Cybertron Brakedown and the concept for Transtech Megatron inspired Armada Megatron. Cheetor is the name of several Fictional characters from the Transformers toyline. Transformers Cybertron, known in Japan originally as, is the 2005-2006 Transformers toy line and animated series another co-production between Hasbro Brakedown is the name of a Fictional character in the Transformers Cybertron series Transformers Armada, known in Japan as, is the Transformers animated series and toy line which ran from 2002-2004

Transformers: Universe

The storyline of Beast Machines is continued in the short-lived comic book Transformers: Universe by 3H Publishing, which has stories taking place during the second season of Beast Machines (In the Transformers: Wreckers comic) and after the Beast Machines story (in the Transformers: Universe comic). Transformers Universe is a line of toys consisting of repainted re-releases from various Transformers toy lines

English Cast

Controversy

As early as its premiere episode, Beast Machines provoked much debate among fans about whether the new series' creative team was portraying the individual characters and the broader Transformers backstory as accurately as the creators of Beast Wars had done.

Waspinator is the name of several Fictional characters from the various Transformers universes. Scott McNeil (born September 15, 1962 in Brisbane, Australia) is an Australian born Voice actor. Much of the criticism focused on character portrayals and actions that were seen as inaccurate and inconsistent with how the characters were established in Beast Wars. This is further compounded by the fact that many of the actors associated with recent Transformer series have referred to Beast Machines as "The Bad Thing". In addition, there was much debate over perceived continuity errors in regards to the broader Transformers backstory, such as the claim to Cybertron once being an organic planet, when in fact, it was formed by Primus from a meteor. The ending of Beast Machines proved to be extremely controversial. Detractors believe that the "reformatting" of Cybertron, from purely metallic as it had been portrayed in the original series into technorganic, diminished the traditional qualities that had made the Transformers mythos special. While Beast Machines has always been a controversial series, it has gradually become more popular over time, particularly in retrospect after Transformers: Armada and Transformers: Energon, both which met with even heavier abuse for their general low quality. Transformers Armada, known in Japan as, is the Transformers animated series and toy line which ran from 2002-2004 Transformers Energon, known in Japan as, is the 2004-2005 Transformers toyline, animated series and comic book series another co-production The newfound positive reception, however, is still not considered universal amongst fans of the Beast Wars/Transformers mythos. Hasbro has since retconned much of Beast Machines events in fan-exclusive convention comics such as Transformers: Universe, and fanclub publications, reviving many characters killed and redeeming those "corrupted" during the series like Rhinox, though Cybertron remains technorganic. Retroactive continuity is the deliberate changing of previously established facts in a work of serial fiction Transformers Universe is a line of toys consisting of repainted re-releases from various Transformers toy lines
