There are noticeable information gaps and characters missing from the previous series that are addressed throughout the season. New characters are brought into the cast.
Season 2 – Battle for the Spark: 2000

The season saw the exit of Rhinox, the return of an ally, a bug bot, the appearance of new Transformers from Cybertron's history, and the ultimate demise of not only Megatron, but Optimus Primal as well.
