Robotmasters (cartoon)
The Robot Masters cartoon was a two-episode series of DVDs packaged with select Robot Masters toys. The cartoon told the same version of the events seen in several of the Robot Masters pack-in comics and online comics, but with a few alternations.
The cartoons were CG-animated. Although they featured numerous characters from past Transformers cartoons, not a single voice actor returned to reprise any of the roles, with the cast being comprised entirely of sound-alikes.
Episodes
DVD releases
The first episode came packaged with both the G1 Convoy + DVD and Burning Beast Convoy + DVD toys while the second episode came packaged with the Lio Convoy + DVD toy.
Both episodes are preceded by a prologue/introduction to the continuity that uses art taken from the Robot Masters pack-in and online comics. This prologue is then followed by a commercial for the toyline before finally getting on with the episode.
Each disc ends with a brief sequence of clips highlighting the career of the character that disc was packaged with. For example, the Burning Beast Convoy disc features the following clips from Beast Wars:
- The Maximals and Predacons fight surrounded by energon crystals, from the episode "Beast Wars (Part 2)".
- Optimus Primal fights a beefed-up Terrorsaur, from "Power Surge".
- Primal and Cheetor rescue Dinobot from the Preds outside the Axalon, from "Victory".
- Primal lops off Megatron's arm and the Maxis retreat from the exploding Darksyde, from "Dark Designs".
