<hr />
<div>'''''Beast Machines''''' was a followup franchise to the very successful ''[[Beast Wars]]''. It included several returning characters and the associated fiction directly followed the storyline of the [[Beast Wars (cartoon)|BW cartoon]].<br />
<br />
''Beast Machines'' featured a distinctive visual style in both toy design and the art design of its television series. Additionally, it reintroduced Transformers which turn into machinery instead of animals with the new faction known as [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicon]]s.<br />
<br />
The ''Beast Machines'' franchise featured the following primary components:<br />
*[[Beast Machines (toyline)|A toyline]]<br />
*[[Beast Machines (cartoon)|A cartoon series]]<br />
<br />
==Beast Wars Returns==<br />
''Beast Machines'' was not released in Japan for several years until 2005, when [[Takara]] imported a dubbed version of the television series and some of the toyline as ''Beast Wars Returns''. <br />
<br />
The Beast Wars Returns release was far more low-key than the Beast Wars or Beast Wars Metals releases. The cartoon series was aired only on a satellite station and the toys were released as exclusives to Toys "R" Us. Additionally, rather than record an all-new theme song, they simply recycled "Phat Planet" from the Canadian version, a first for the Japanese release of an American Transformers cartoon.<br />
