Beast Machines was an animated television series produced by Mainframe Entertainment that was a direct sequel to Beast Wars and is the final television series to take place within the continuity of the original Transformers series. The cause of much controversy among the fanbase, the show ran for two seasons, airing on Fox and YTV from 1999 to 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 although the quality of the storylines themselves have been heavily debated amongst fans. The Beast Machines intro theme was "Phat Planet", by Leftfield.

Maximals

Optimus Primal: Leader of the Maximals. Beast mode is a techno-organic gorilla. He was the first to transform into his new robot mode. Optimus Primal's leadership is judged in the series when he continues to rely on the Oracle. He has a very bad temper, mainly because of what the evil Megatron has done to his homeworld of Cybertron and also the Maximals have lost two of their friends (Rhinox and Silverbolt). He has insights into the past and future and can reformat other transformers. However, he is still full of valor and heroism, and can make wise and noble decisions. He often argues with Cheetor about what to do in the early episodes. He dies at the end of both seasons, reborn at the start of season one and sacrificing himself and Megatron at the end of season two to transform Cybertron into a techno-organic planet. His main weapon was laser discs that could be fired from his torso, his arms could be used as both shields and a way to reflect enemy attacks

Cheetor: Second-in-command. Beast mode is a techno-organic cheetah. He is the second to transform into his new robot mode. Cheetor has gone from a immature child at the start of the Beast Wars to a mature, but still hot-headed adult in the Beast Machines. Cheetor is now second-in-command of Maximals, but still looks up to Optimus as his idol. However, the two can get into heated arguments when either of them make rash decisions. Cheetor's new beast mode allows him to move much faster than before and he can easily confuse a Vehicon drone (as seen in Reformatting). Cheetor was one of the four Maximals to appear on Cybertron with no memory of what happened before. Cheetor survives the Beast Machines war and appears to become the leader of the Maximals, and the Oracle's new representive as Optimus was previously. Cheetor's weapons included an enhanced super speed (to the point of the original Transformers' Blur) and a pair of sabers which he pulled from his back.
