War Planets: Shadow Raiders. Good story, great animation. Why did it get cancelled? Because of some short-sighted toy company.

THE THEME: For eons the four planets FIRE, BONE, ROCK and ICE have never known peace. Their inhabitants' ancient jealousies and petty prejudices leave no time for the development of cooperation or peace. Although they share a common ancestry, these are a people divided, until one man, Graveheart of the Rock, discovers the greatest menace of all. The BEAST PLANET is now emerging from the darkest region of space, and it is an evil world whose sole purpose is the absolute destruction of every lifeform it encounters. Graveheart now realizes that only the combined power of the four planets can stop the BEAST.
