With sales of the [[Generation 2 (toyline)|''Generation 2'' toyline]] proving unremarkable by 1995, [[Hasbro]] faced a choice: end the Transformers brand for a second time, or completely revamp the concept. They chose the second option, and '''Beast Wars''' was the result.

The new franchise consisted entirely of robots who transformed into beasts: insects, mammals, and more. The traditional factions of Autobot and Decepticon were replaced with heroic [[Maximal]]s and evil [[Predacon (BW)|Predacons]]. Most radically, the beast modes were intended to represent fully natural and organic animals, as opposed to the "mechanical beasts" represented by the likes of G1's Dinobots and Terrorcons.

The ''Beast Wars'' toyline brought poseability to full fruition. Whereas ''Generation 2'' marketed a handful of toys as "super poseable", ''Beast Wars'' made it standard for virtually every toy. Heavy use of ball joints gave the figures unprecedented degrees of freedom — often greater than that of a normal, non-transforming action figure. Poseability — a rarity in the days of G1 — became commonplace and expected after ''Beast Wars''.

Concealed parts and weapons also became standard during ''Beast Wars''. Again, ''Generation 2'' had introduced a number of toys whose [[kibble]] had a place to store when not in use, but it was ''Beast Wars'' that made it a universal feature.

''Beast Wars'' also introduced a standardized [[Size class|system of price points]] to Transformers: $5 Basics, $10 Deluxes, $15 Megas, and $20 Ultras. The price for Basics eventually rose to $7, but the system remained largely unaltered through the end of ''[[Beast Machines (toyline)|Beast Machines]]''. Portions of the system continue to be used today (the Basics were "Scouts" during ''[[Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'', and the Mega has been replaced with the $20, slightly-larger "Voyager".) A rarely-seen, extra-large Super class was introduced with the Optimal Optimus toy in 1998''.

The toyline evolved over its three and a half year run. 1996–97 featured purely-organic beasts exclusively. 1998 was dominated by two sublines: [[Fuzor]]s, whose beast modes combined aspects of two different animals, and [[Transmetal]]s, which featured metallic-finished chrome and sleekly mechanical beast modes. In 1999, the [[Transmetal 2|Transmetals 2]] were the primary offering, featuring asymmetrical and often bizarrely patchwork fusions of mechanical and organic in both modes.

''Beast Wars'' largely ended as a toyline when Hasbro elected to revamp the franchise and re-introduce vehicular Transformers, leading to the [[Beast Machines (toyline)|''Beast Machines'' toyline]]. Though a new franchise, ''Beast Machines'' continued many aspects of the ''Beast Wars'' toyline including a number of major characters, the Maximal faction, and beast forms that combined mechanical and organic aspects. Furthermore, the ''Beast Wars'' title would continue to grace sporadic toys such as [[Exclusive|store exclusives, convention exclusives]], and a [[Beast Wars 10th Anniversary|10th anniversary line]] in 2006, and [[Beast Wars Telemocha Series|another 10th anniversary line]] for Japan in 2007.
