It's basicly a spin-off based somewhere at the ending of the anime 'Beast Wars Second Chou Seimeitai Transformers ' or Beast Wars II in short, but is not really connected towards the anime series. Incase you haven't seen Beast Wars II, watch that first so you're familair with the (newer) characters that get introduced during the series and read the review about Beast Wars II what kind of minor flaws this anime movie also has.
The animation is compaired with the anime much smoother and much better, but it also contains minor errors during the transformation parts. It feels this small movie was done by a different studio, but I'm not sure about that.
The story is OK'ish for a kids show and for the real die-hard Beast Wars fans you get a mere 5(!) minutes fanservice, because Optimus Primal (you know, the character where picky Transformer fans use the prase "Trukk not munky") is also in the story somehow, where it really does suggest you can also pinpoint this movie before the events of Beast Wars: Transmetals.
Overall, a great watch for Beast Wars fans. It felt much more enjoyable than the Beast Wars II anime in my opinion. But I really advice you should watch Beast Wars II first.
