The introduction of the Beast Wars continuity came as the cliffhanger ending of Transformers: War for Cybertron: Earthrise. Optimus Prime chose not to kill Megatron, but Megatron, in turn, took the Matrix of Leadership, leaving Optimus and the Autobots in a tricky situation. It was when a raptor appeared and revealed itself to be a Transformer that fans got hyped for this next installment to go all-out with full Transformers fan-service mania!
It’s an opportune time to give the Transformers: Beast Wars characters a soft mainstream rollout in this Netflix animated series; Paramount has just announced that a live-action film based on the property (Transformers: Rise of the Beasts) is in the works.
