Beast Wars II

Beast Wars II is a Japanese Transformers spinoff from 1998, made to bridge the gap between the first and second seasons of Beast Wars. Crash-landed on Gaea, the vicious Predacons, led by Galvatron, and the heroic Maximals, led by Lio Convoy, battle for Angolmois energy. In general, a much more lighthearted show than Beast Wars and followed by a follow up Beast Wars Neo.

The full name of the series is Beast Wars II: Chō Seimeitai Transformers (ビーストウォーズII 超生命体トランスフォーマー, literally "Beast Wars II: Super Life-form Transformers") and pronounced Beast Wars Second
