Aftermath is the first episode of the second season of the animated television series Beast Wars. The episode continues the story of the Maximal and Predacon factions, who are at odds with one another in a war fought on a planet which is the organic equivalent of Cybertron.
The episode begins with a recap of the events from the previous season, reminding viewers of the actions of the two factions as they battled for supremacy on the planet. The Maximals, led by Optimus Primal, were able to thwart the Predacons' plan to use a device called the Golden Disk to alter history, but not before the Predacon leader Megatron was able to escape through a time portal with several of his followers.
The Maximals, now led by Airazor and Tigatron, are left to pick up the pieces and try to rebuild their base. In the aftermath of the battle, they realize that they will need to find Megatron and put an end to his plans once and for all.
Meanwhile, the Predacons are also dealing with the aftermath of their defeat. Megatron, now stranded on an unknown planet with his followers, is livid over his defeat and is determined to find a way back to the Beast Wars planet. He dispatches his most loyal follower, Scorponok, to explore the new planet and look for any possible way to return home.
As the Maximals work to rebuild their base and track Megatron's movements, they are met by a new challenge in the form of a group of organic creatures on the planet. These creatures, known as the Vok, are revealed to have been responsible for the time portal that Megatron used to escape, and are now intent on wiping out all life on the planet to prevent interference with their plans.
As the Maximals and Predacons learn of the Vok's plans, they are forced to put aside their differences and work together to try and stop them. They are able to access an ancient alien spaceship and use it to travel to the Vok's base, where they confront the leader and attempt to persuade it to spare their planet.
Aftermath sets the stage for the second season of Beast Wars, introducing new challenges and threats that the Maximals and Predacons must face. The story is full of action and adventure, as well as a deeper exploration of the characters' motivations and conflicts. Overall, it is an exciting and engaging episode that will leave audiences excited for what is to come.
