As a long time transformer fan i can say that this is one of the better shows to watch in the transformer franchise (this show is a spinoff of beast wars) this show takes place after "beast wars" and follows the japanese g1 timeline which means that headmasters masterforce and victory and zone are also in this timeline and ignores the season 4 of g1 "Beast Wars 2" is essentially a sequel to beast wars and you can watch this without watching any other transformer show beforehand unless you want to get into transformers you will probably not know what a "Cybertron" or "Destron" is despitehaving maximal and predacon symbols
Essentially this takes place in the very far future of beast wars
we follow our maximal crew lead by "Lio Convoy" also known as "Leo Prime" who has the "Convoy" Rank leading a small group of maximals who have pursued Galvatron (Not the g1 galvatron) to Planet Gaia , Galvatron wants to get some Angolmois Energy while the (im going to call them maximals but they are called cybertrons in japan) maximals fight on planet gaia two androids known as moon and artemis watch over them essentially they like give their comments and stuff
although not as dark as beast wars there are some clever jokes in it as well
so lets talk about the artstyle ,
i guess its kinda cartoony? different from the 3d animation used for beast wars but it also reminds me of gundam for some reason
Maximals
Characters Lio convoy is very much like g1 optimus friendly , honorable and a father figure
"Tasmanian kid" whom is a repaint of beast wars snarl is like the "Hot Shot" (referring to armada) of the show kinda reckless sometimes and kiddy
"Bighorn" a hot head because he is a bull.. and he isnt very smart
"Scuba" the calm , cool , clever bot who has a cousin by the name if Ikard
"Diver" a frog im not sure how to put it but his kind of nerdy? in a way
(more characters appear but i dont know if it counts as spoilers if i were to mention them)
Predacons
"Galvatron" i kind of find him alittle bland but he has his ambitions
"Megastorm" Galvatron's brother who looks up to him and hopes to become the next destron emperor and is a complete fool essentially he is like g1 starscream but not a complete douchebag
"Starscream" not the same starscream as the red and blue jet this starscream is loyal and calm with a black and purple colour scheme a repaint of G2 Smokescreen
"BB" Roger is the only thing he says i love him , his a repaint of g2 Dreadwing who also has black and purple for his colour scheme and he listens to every order starscream gives him and turns into a stealth bomber
"Dirge and Thrust" both of them are not the same as the g1 characters but share the same name and also turn into jets constantly competing with starscream and bb for galvatrons praise
i think im finished with this review theres also the "Insectrons" who fled Cybertron in order to find peace from the war
and Sick and tired of the endless wars plaguing Cybertron
overall story 7
