The '''Mutants''' (also commonly referred to as '''Mutant Beasts''') are a powerful group of beast warriors who've lost their robot modes, but are able to transform between two beast modes. Led by Icebird, the Mutants seek to create a purely organic existence. The Mutants don't belong to either faction, and will attack [[Predacon (BW)|Predacons]] on sight, but they largely tolerate the [[Maximal]]s as a necessary component of their goals.

Members are:

*[[Icebird]], Commander
*[[Poison Bite]], special ops
*[[Razor Claw]], warrior
*[[Soundwave (BW)|Soundwave]], warrior

===Packaging blurb===
[[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] developed an [[Transformation virus|anti-conversion virus]], intended to prevent the infected host converting into robot mode, resulting in eventual shutdown. The Mutants were previously [[Fuzor]]s, and the virus reacted in an unanticipated way with their physiognomy; it caused their conversion abilities to change, trapping their robot modes between two different beast modes. The virus also bestowed 'potent extrasensory powers' upon the former Fuzors, with each member having several unique [[ability|abilities]], such as invisibility, [[teleportation]], or [[telekinesis]]. Unsurprisingly, the foursome managed to escape Megatron's clutches and then went renegade, sta the [[Mutant Beast Wars (event)|Mutant Beast Wars]]!

The Mutants, on Megatron-dominated [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], reported along with the [[Dinobot (BM)| Dinobots]] and the [[Wrecker]]s to the Oracle and were given a mission to fullfill: to save the planet's future. It was all a set-up, however, by [[Cryotek (RID)|Cryotek]] and the [[Quintesson]]s. The Mutants' instructions led instead to their apparent deaths by [[Sharkticon (G1)|Sharkticons]], although Poison Bite was later seen concealed in Cryotek's headquarters—evidence that the reports of their deaths may have been greatly exaggerated.

===IDW ''Beast Wars'' comics===
The remaining [[Stasis pod|stasis pods]] from the ''[[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]]'' were activated by [[Razorbeast]]. The majority of the newly-born Transformers were either Maximal or Predacon. {{storylink|The Gathering issue 1|The Gathering #1}} But a few were born Mutants. They fiercely defended their swamp against intruding Predacons, making it clear that no Transformer was welcome in their peaceful home. {{storylink|The Gathering issue 3|The Gathering #3}}

:The four toys in this sub-group were originally designed for the ill-fated ''[[Animorphs]]'' toyline, and upon its failure were slightly retooled and brought over to the mainline ''Transformers'' continuity family. They have a couple of common features. Each toy had a robot head hidden somewhere within its body, to indicate that their personae were still essentially sentient rather than bestial. Also, three of the four toys had flip-up panels underneath their Mutant insignia, which were lifted

== Notes ==
* The exact placement of these characters within the fiction can be argued. Though their [[packaging|packages]] labeled them as part of a unique ''[[Mutant Beast Wars (toyline)|Mutant Beast Wars]]'' toyline, they came out at a point when the ''[[Beast Wars (franchise)|Beast Wars]]'' toyline and cartoon were well ended and ''[[Beast Machines (franchise)|Beast Machines]]'' was well underway. Further, their packaging blurb and [[bio]]s make reference to Megatron's mode-lock viruses, conflict between organic and mechanical Transformer life, and most tellingly the Oracle, all of which were specifically central points of the ''Beast Machines'' storyline. Hence, the 3H BotCon materials placed them on ''Beast Machines'' Cybertron as part of that conflict, while the IDW comics defaulted to their packaging label, ignored any conflicting backstory, and made them a part of the Beast Wars on Earth instead.
* Whether by design or coincidence, the beast-to-beast [[Noble|Beast Changer]] toy was released in the main ''Beast Machines'' toyline at nearly the same time as the Mutants.
