Beast Machines is an animated television series produced by Mainframe Entertainment and distributed by Universal Pictures and Columbia Tristar International Television (Latin-America). Hasbro has the full distribution rights to the show as of 2011. It was a direct sequel to Beast Wars taking place within the continuity of the original Transformers series. The cause of much controversy among the fanbase, the show ran for two seasons, airing on YTV and Fox Kids from 1999 to 2000. Of the Transformers animated series produced in North America, Beast Machines was the only one to have been completely conceptualized and outlined in advance, lending it a more serialized and linear storyline than the others. The Beast Machines intro theme was "Phat Planet", by Leftfield.
The show ran for two seasons with a total of 26 episodes (13 in each season). The second season was subtitled Battle for the Spark.
The first season begins shortly after the events of the third season of Beast Wars, and the second season begins immediately after the first season.
