About

Two spaceships, one manned by benevolent Maximals, the other by evil Predacons, crash-land on a pre-humanoid planet while en route to Earth. Their crews assume indigenous animal forms to protect themselves from an overabundance of natural energy, transforming into robots to do battle. Thus, the Beast Wars have begun...

Ditching the rigid vehicle forms of previous eras, these combatants blend organic animal traits with mechanical weaponry for a wildly unpredictable visual style. The constant struggle for survival on a prehistoric world turns every encounter into a frantic, tactical skirmish.
