Correct me here because I'm probably totally wrong on every count but,
I was confused as to the background of the show.
I was under the impression these were decepticons and autobots in some other distant solar system that were also fighting each other but they had nothing to do with the Optiums Prime and Megatron on earth.
I thought there was just always like a "prime" unit in every big group of autobots or something?
If THIS IS WRONG, then is this supposed to be before or after the events on earth and how come they aren't cars and trucks and stuff still?

You're wrong. Beast Wars takes place before the old show, before humans had even fully evolved from apes.

After the Great War, the Autobots and Decepticons were reformatted into the Maximals and Predacons (smaller, more energy-efficient forms, I believe) and a peace treaty was signed whereby they jointly govern Cybertron
A Predacon criminal takes the name of the original Megatron and travels through time and space to Earth, before the awakening of the Transformers of the original series, with the intention of destroying the Autobots before they awaken, meaning Decepticons (and Predacons) will come out on top
the beast wars groups are the evolved formed of transformers groups
who traveled back in time to before people were around
er...what?
So is that optimus prime or not?
Also are they on earth then?
Primal is not Prime. They are on earth but the entire first season is meant to lead you to a different conclusion.
Comic Canon is that Leaders or Matrix Bearers are given the Prime title. Optimus Primal Chose his name as a homage to the original but he is not a Prime Ranked Maximal.

I own the whole series and I'm not afraid to admit it.
I also own the original series too.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, I'm a whore for Transformers.

This, except the Beast Wars Megatron wasn't fully aware of where he was going at the time. He was using a stolen disc to find a planet with lots of energon, only to discover that he had landed on prehistoric earth, where his ancestors and the ancestors of the autobots were located.
Once he realized this, he figured that he could completely change history for the better by murdering Optimus Prime, which becomes the cliffhanger between season 2 and 3.
My favorite season 1 episode is probably when Rhinox gets turned into a Predacon.
He goes about the Predacon base, attempting to take over everything until he's completely wasted everyone until Megatron was forced to turn him back to normal.
Remember Transmutate? A morality play, and a sad, poignant one at that, in Transformers, of all things. Best episode ever. Seriously depressed me as a kid.
unfortunately for me, i was unable to see beast wars as a kid, and only got some of the little mcdonalds toys. i grew up with beast machines and RID. when i saw what i missed, i almost shed tears.
Honestly, it was out of sheer luck that I even knew about Beast Wars. I was just channel flipping one morning when I stumbled on it. I believe I tuned in for the first time was during "The Probe" when they were attempting to signal a Maximal Probe passing into the system.
I couldn't watch it regularly, because I usuaully had school at that time of the day, so I just started taping it and soon realized I had stumbled upon the best thing ever.

I always thought Quickstrike was pretty cool too but I never got his toy.
I did have a bitchin' polar bear and all 4 Megatrons, though, so it was okay.
I'm proud to say that I own all three versions of Primal. His ape form, his secondary ape form (transmutate?), and his bitchin final one where he can transform into a tank and a jet!

It was a tough time in my life.
The Division, Warframe (XB1)
GT: Tanith 6227
i never watched transformers, but i watched the living hell out of this every day
Yeah we haven't already mentioned this or anything
"Remember that episode where Waspinator got blown up?"
"Oh hell yeah, and then Megatron said 'yessss'"
"Good times."
Linking was mandated.
That was gay, almost as gay as Terrorsaur and Scorponok falling into a hole and dying.
Oh and he was a scorpion.

I made a TD for iphone and windows phone!
I think there was time travel involved.
who traveled back in time to before people were around
that's a bit general don't you think

So is that optimus prime or not?
Also are they on earth then?

So I think the worst one was Airrazor. God, I hated her.
Tigatron was pretty gay too. Also I guess he was a bit of a precursor to the hippie bullshit of Beast Machines.
bone planet was the gayest
stop liking gayest things
Optimus Prime? No, not until later in the series
And yes, they are on Earth

Best season one episode was Beast Wars pt 2
Optimus and Dinobot duking it out on that little bridge
His toy was huge, too. I always wanted Inferno but never got him. That's a future ebay purchase.
Still wanted Depth Charge more
Scorpinok: Hey hey! Be careful with that!
Rhinox: Oh, I'm being real careful. See, I'm on this side, and it's all gonna fall THAT WAY!
I finally got caught up with beast wars on youtube, and I just passed that episode. poor transmutate. at least she finally got a toy: http://www.tfu.info/2006/Maximal/Trans-Mutate/trans-mutate.htm

I utilized this as a hilarious character quirk where Predacons would just push him over.

It's transmetal you faggot
I had most of the character's toys.
Brothers and a dog do not make for a good condition collection. . .
Quickstryke was okay but his entire left arm was ball joints and he just fell apart after a few poseing seesions.
EDIT-
not Beast Wars related but still in the general area. I wrote this
