Summary

Transformers: Beast Wars Transmetals lets you pit the heroic Maximals against the evil Predicons in a flat‑shaded 3D arena where each fighter can shift between beast, vehicle and robot forms. Robot mode packs the biggest punch but drains an energon resistance gauge, while beast mode refills the gauge and offers sturdy defense at the cost of weaker attacks. Vehicle mode trades armor for speed, firing projectiles that are easy to dodge and never touching the gauge.

The game’s arcade mode strings together text‑based endings for every character, and hidden bosses like the original Megatron X pop up if you dig deep enough. Four extra fighters were added for the North American release, expanding the roster from eight to twelve, and a handful of mini‑games keep the competition fresh. In Japan the title shipped as "Transformers: Beast Wars Metals 64" and even talks to Game Boy titles via the Transfer Pak, tweaking health and gauge consumption based on the linked cartridge.

A Blockbuster exclusive in the U.S., the N64 version also supports versus and team‑battle modes, letting you unleash the Ultra Blast attack for a spectacular finish.

Storyline

Transformers: Beast Wars Transmetals (often called Beast Wars Transmetals) follows an alternate version of the second season of the animated series after the introduction of the Transmetals and Fuzors. The Maximals capture Predacon commander Megatron and, believing the Beast Wars are over, board an Autobot shuttle bound for Cybertron. During the journey Megatron transmits a warning back through transwarp to his past self, alerting him to his impending defeat. This temporal interference spawns a divergent timeline where several Maximals and Predacons acquire powerful new Transmetal forms and resume their conflict on prehistoric Earth. The Nintendo 64 version even provides unique story endings for each character, showing what they do after defeating the opposing faction leader.
