Title: Beast Wars Virtual (tentative) Premise: First - Beast Machines never happened. The Maximals put Megatron in the cargo hold like they were supposed to, instead of strapping him to the outside like a bicycle, so they all made it to Cybertron just fine. Megatron went to prison, the Maximals were all accoladed, la de da and they all lived happily ever after. Fast forward three years. In this, the unofficial sequel to 'Beast Wars', Optimus and his crew must return to earth to battle Megatron once again. However, this time it's different; the year is 2290 (or thereabouts), humans have built technological marvels to rival those of their mentors the Maximals, and Cybertron is at the brink of another civil war. And Megatron has conquered Earth. Optimal Optimus, Cheetor, Rattrap, Silverbolt, Black Arachnea, and Rhinox must gather once again to stand against Megatron. Along the way they will gain new allies - among them a small troupe of human children - make new enemies, and uncover a conspiracy to undermine the Maximal Elders. On Earth they are outnumbered, embattled, and encumbered by their determination to protect the human race. But they are fighting for truth, justice, and freedom, and against impossible odds they are determined to prevail. Status: Planning Priority: 2
