Season 1: 1999

This season picked up a short time after the events of the third season of Beast Wars. Four of the six main characters from the previous series/season, Optimus Primal, Rattrap, Cheetor and Blackarachnia, are on Cybertron with no memory of how they arrived there and why they are being pursued by hostile Transformers. These characters try to discover what happen to themselves and to Cybertron and what the ancient computer the Oracle has in store for the characters. There are noticeable information gaps and characters missing from the previous series that are addressed throughout the season. New characters are brought into the cast.

Season 2 - Battle for the Spark: 2000

This season was subtitled Battle for the Spark. Season two picked up right where season one ended in a cliff hanger. The season saw the exit of Rhinox, the return of an ally, a bug bot, the appearance of new Transformers from Cybertron's history, and the ultimate demise of not only Megatron, but Optimus Primal as well.
