Beast Wars II: Super Life-Form Transformers

Aired: 1998

A Japan-original follow-up to the Beast Wars series, this time produced as traditional cel animation rather than the CGI of its predecessor. On the planet Gaia, Lio Convoy and his Cybertrons face off against Galvatron and his Destrons in a struggle to control the mysterious Angolmois Energy. The show's mix of action, colorful character banter, and tie-in toy line made it a lasting hit among young audiences and long-time Transformers fans alike.
