In the timeline of Aurex 615.03 Epsilon, the Beast Wars was waged in Alpha Q's universe 300 years after the Autobot/Decepticon war. The Maximals and Predacons fought multiple sub-wars on this universe's planets until the Alternity had to step in. In the Dust War on Plains Planet, Maximal creatures of earth, wind, and fire fought against Predacon oni, tengu, and kappa. Ask Vector Prime, 2015/06/03
