I thought Universe was the continuation of what happened after Beast Machines? I've only read a few of the comics that were on the Botcon site, and but didn't see any of the actual Universe stuff.

Sort of. The Wreckers material picks up after Beast Machines while the main Universe books take characters from all over the place and throw them together. Events in Universe are refernced in FunPub's Balancing Act but really don't impact on anything else. The whole thing can be quite happily ignored.

I hate "canon" arguements in general, but... anything officially licensed is "real" - even things that contradict each other or themselves. Of course one series has no effect on another. I do follow "Wreckers" and "Universe" as to what happened after Beast Machines myself, as that's how it's written.

Is it the Technorganic ending, is that why a significant chunk of the Transfans are against Beast Machines? It's very hard to say whether it was a good idea or a bad idea, cause there was never a direct sequal to the series to show us exactly how Cybertron fared after the reformatting.

That's what Universe was.
