I'll definitely have to chase it now! <3
Should you ever have an opportunity and a means, I'd highly recommend your viewing of Beast Wars; it's the best written televised TF narrative to-date, in my opinion at least , but more importantly it's a very fun series.

Botanica, however, is from a series that is a sequel to Beast Wars, of which I'm not greatly fond of but don't let that dissuade you from checking out Beast Machines - It's as much a part of TF history as any other series and is certainly worth viewing at least once.

I'm not familiar with "Shadow Raiders" to be honest, but a quick look at IMDb has led me to find that it was indeed produced & animated by the same studio as Beast Wars AND Beast Machines; the studio was known as Mainframe Entertainment, it also produced a show you may remember called ReBoot, but it would seem that they've merged with another company & renamed to Rainmaker Entertainment.

It may surprise you to know that sadly Botanica never received a Toy of her own , a travesty given her unique design, but the commercial reasons are understandable I suppose... She was a female character, she was a plant & was a part of a generally unpopular show - but, given the success of characters like Blackarachnia & Airazor in Beast Wars, many feel she was never really given a chance - toy-wise.
