Beast Machines: Transformers
Beast Machines: Transformers is an animated television series produced by Mainframe Entertainment as part of the Transformers franchise. Hasbro has full distribution rights to the show as of 2011. It was a direct sequel to Beast Wars, taking place within the continuity of the original Transformers series. The show ran for two seasons, airing on YTV and Fox Kids from September 18, 1999 to November 18, 2000. Of the Transformers animated series produced in North America, Beast Machines was the only one to have been completely conceptualized and outlined in advance, lending it a more serialized and linear storyline than the others. The Beast Machines' intro theme was "Phat Planet" by Leftfield.
Following their victory in the Beast Wars, four of the surviving Maximals – Optimus Primal, Cheetor, Blackarachnia and Rattrap – finally return to Cybertron only to discover that their people have vanished, and the world is now ruled by the mindless Vehicons. To make matters worse, the quartet are trapped in their beast forms without any of the upgrades they gained during the Beast Wars – and they are swiftly losing their memories of anything but each other and two of their missing comrades. Forced to retreat deep underground, the Maximals discover the Oracle, a powerful supercomputer that reformats their bodies into new, even more powerful techno-organic forms.
The Maximals soon learn that their old enemy Megatron – who managed to break free and return to Cybertron before them – is the malevolent intelligence behind the Vehicons. Megatron has declared war on both beast modes and free will itself, imprisoning the sparks of Cyberton's entire population. With the odds stacked against them, the Maximals set out to free the sparks of their people, discover what really happened to their allies Silverbolt and Rhinox, and bring organic life to Cyberton once more.
The series initially had the working title "Beast Hunters," as revealed in commentary on the Beast Machines DVD. Notable changes to character names occurred, with "Skybolt" altered to "Jetstorm" to avoid revealing Silverbolt's connection to the Vehicon faction. The show's early episodes were produced under the title "Skybolt" but were later edited to reflect the modified name. Originally, there was a plan for Thrust to possess Silverbolt's spark, but this concept was altered, leading to the decision for him to carry Waspinator's spark instead.
Within specific episodes, instances of certain gestures were observed, such as Thrust making a gesture resembling a middle finger in "Home Soil" and "Savage Noble." Furthermore, cameo appearances of characters like Inferno and Quickstrike, along with pre-human figures Hammer, Jack, and Una, were included in flashback scenes.
