Kinda, it went something like this:
>Autobots and Decepticons fight
>They fuck over Cybertron in the process
>Autobots eventually win
>Decepticons are still around but are given the post war German treatment
>Some time later a Decepticon claims to be Megatron's successor pops up and we get the same shit all over again
>Cybertron is FUCKED this time, not enough energy to go around
>It's decided that the only way to save the species is to downgrade to much smaller forms, using animals as the secondary form becomes popular
>The two groups are renamed to Maximals and Predicons
>They form a grand council to rule Cybertron and beyond
>Preds get a seat and are planning their return
>Plot of Beast Wars eventually happens
