Transformers Beast Wars: Transmetals is a PlayStation game, released in 1999 in Japan and 2000 in North America. It and its Nintendo 64 counterpart share a primary theme; characters from the second season of the Beast Wars television series duking it out in one-on-one combat, but the games differ in character selection and bonus features.
Synopsis
Transmetals features an all-out battle between the Maximals and Predacons. The player's character must fight through all possible enemy forces in order to beat the game.
Despite the Nintendo 64 version featuring individualized text stories for each character, the PlayStation version has a very vague ending for either faction that generally upholds the status quo.
