Seasons
Season 1
A band of benevolent Maximals follows a pack of power-seeking Predacons to a new planet.
Season 2
The alien machine is destroyed and Optimus went up with it, but the explosion sets off a quantum surge that changes the planet - and several of the robots. In his new, more powerful transmetal body, Megatron hopes to take out the Maximals before they have a chance to regroup and recover.
Season 3
Realizing that without the Maximals she would never have existed, Blackarachnia actives the Ark's defenses and forces Megatron out of the ship. The Maximals start initial repairs and the time storm subsides a bit, but Optimus Prime's life still hangs in the balance - it could swing either way. Megatron rallies his troops to make sure it swings in his favor.

I love Transformers because of Beast Wars and Beast Machines. I practically grew up with this.
Part of what makes this series great is the voice cast. They are amazing in their roles. Dinobot's arc from villain to antihero to self-sacrificing hero is one of the best in media.
This could all be nostalgia talking, but Beast Wars is one of a handful of childhood cartoons I can still enjoy as an adult. Tekkaman Blade comes to mind when I talk about childhood cartoons because it's another one I loved as a kid, but unlike Beast Wars I could not make it through the first episode as an adult. It was such contrived !@#$ as to make my eyes bleed from the sheer torture of being subjec- I've made my point.
I have tried watching other Transformers cartoons including the original animated movie and they all pale in comparison to Beast Wars and Beast Machines. They're all !@#$.
Transformers: War for Cybertron - Kingdom (2021) was an insult to this series.
Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (2023) was an insult to this series.
I will fight whoever gave this ONE star.
