It directly follows Beast Wars II. "Love For Ever —Kimi wo Mamoru Tame ni—" plays as its opening theme and "Te no Naka no Uchū" as the ending theme.

The show follows the adventures of a crew of Maximals, commanded by Big Convoy, as they compete with Magmatron's evil Predacons to collect the Angolmois Capsules, scattered at the end of Beast Wars II.

Overview

Following the end of the final battle in Beast Wars II, Vector Sigma and the Convoy Council send a new team of Maximals under the command of Big Convoy to investigate the disappearance of Lio Convoy. At the same time, a new Emperor of Destruction named Magmatron follows them to Gaia to find the Angolmois Capsules, and the Maximals must stop him and his Predacons from succeeding. In time, a third faction known as the Blentrons intervene, threatening Maximal and Predacon alike to seize the Angolmois Capsules for themselves. It is revealed the Blentrons serve Unicron, who appears as an energy being based on the image of Galvatron to conquer Cybertron. At the crucial moment, Lio Convoy escapes the wormhole in which he and his Maximals were trapped and supports Big Convoy's Maximals in their battle against Unicron. Magmatron also single-mindedly pursues the defeat of Unicron, to the detriment of his troops' loyalty. The crew of the Dinosaur abandon their captain's vendetta except for Guiledart who remained loyal to his master and consider an alliance with the Blentrons led by the cunning Archadis before largely sitting out the final conflict. After the battle is won, Vector Sigma invites every Maximal and Predacon to help rebuild Cybertron.
