Beast Machines is
a continuation of Beast Wars. Fugitives on their own world, the Maximals have to retake Cybertron from Megatron and
his army of drones, while adjusting to their new technorganic bodies.
The new series opens as Optimus,
Cheetor, Black Arachnia and Rattrap discover themselves suddenly back on the Transformer homeworld of Cybertron - with no
memory of how they got there. Instead of a hero's welcome for winning the Beast Wars, our heroes are hunted by a mysterious
new breed of Transformers - the Vehicons.
These vicious machines enforce the will of Megatron, who has returned with
a vengeance. Megatron has wrestled possesion of Cybertron, leaving Optimus and his team constantly under fire and on the run.
Forced
underground, the Maximals undergo a strange reformatting that not only alters their Beast/Robot bodies, but the very essence
of HOW they transform. No longer an instantaneous response, transformation is now a disciplined skill that must be learned
and refined like a martial art.
The Maximals face their greatest challenges as they struggle to free their planet
from Megatron and his Vehicons.
