Development and production

Production on the series began immediately after the completion of the final season of Beast Wars. The two original writers Bob Forward and Larry DiTillio were replaced by Bob Skir and Marty Isenberg. Through this exchange some gaps emerged in the plotline of the first season, which, however, were adjusted again in the course of the second season. By changing the narrative of the series, instead of stand-alone episodes built on popular stories, it was for spectators, who did not follow from the first episode of the series, very difficult if not impossible to find any sense in the motivations of some characters. Unlike previous Transformers series, the theme song was not specially created for the series, but they resorted to an existing song, " Phat Planet " by Leftfield back.
