[edit]- Prior to the release of this series, artist Matt Frank had spent five or so years pitching a Beast Wars miniseries to IDW.<ref>{{#if: I never got to make the #BeastWars mini-series I spent (checks notes) maybe 5 years pitching?

- With the series experiencing a premature cancellation due to the expiry of IDW's Transformers license, artist Josh Burcham has teased the idea of continuing the story in fancomic form.<ref>{{#if: What can I say about #BeastWars except "It never ends." Ive had plans n ideas for a fan comic continuation perculatin since I heard the series was ending. Can I make em happen? We'll see. But I made a mock title card/some art with a script/story thats constantly being rewritten🤷 |"What can I say about #BeastWars except "It never ends."
