Editing Transformers: Beast Wars (Japanese toyline)

{{nav-bwj}}
'''''Transformers: Beast Wars''''' (トランスフォーマー ビーストウォーズ) is the overarching title given to [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s Japanese release of the [[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|''Beast Wars'' toyline]], omitting the more ostentatious title "''Beast Wars: Super Lifeform Transformers''" given to the dubbed version of the accompanying [[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|cartoon]].

''Beast Wars'' would not hit Japan until over a year after its Hasbro-market debut, most likely due to waiting for the full first season of the show to finish production so it could be run in its totality in a single stretch, as is the norm for Japanese kids media with toy tie-ins. The show's long production time also resulted in the need for "filler" after that first year, resulting in two Japan-original cartoons and associated toylines before the line returned to the Mainframe show setting. However, even though those two series were given their own titles, "''[[Beast Wars II: Super Lifeform Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Wars II]]''" and "''[[Super Lifeform Transformers: Beast Wars Neo (cartoon)|Beast Wars Neo]]''", those brandings never appeared on the toys' packaging. Instead, similar to how Takara's ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers]]'' version of the [[The Transformers (toyline)|''Transformers'' toyline]] maintained its title for six years despite constantly changing cartoon titles, the Japanese ''Beast Wars'' toys were all branded simply ''Transformers: Beast Wars'' for three years, until 1999 saw the toys adopt the ''Beast Wars Metals'' branding given to the dubbed version of seasons 2 and 3 of the American cartoon.

==1997-1998 (''Beast Wars'')==
Starting in summer 1997, the [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] ''Beast Wars'' toyline began very similarly to the Hasbro version, with only a handful of minor color differences appearing in the first wave of product. However, by wave 2, several toys had considerably different decos, as well as an all-new villain character (created to fill out the VS-packs evenly). On top of that, several of the first-wave toys got more "show-accurate" [[variant|running changes]] in January 1998, though the level of "show accuracy" varied pretty wildly. But as the back end of the line began and Takara started bringing over non-show-character molds, most of the releases returned to being nigh-identical to their Hasbro counterparts.

==1998 (''Beast Wars II'')==
{{Nav-bwii}}
The first of the two Takara-"original" ''Beast Wars'' line-ups, the toys collectively associated with the title ''Beast Wars II'' were released beginning in March 1998. It is a very strange beast, so to speak; an eclectic mix of already-existing sculpts that had previously not been used in Japan yet, which not only included more toys from Hasbro's ''Beast Wars'' line, but also ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' vehicle-bot figures that had never before been sold in Japan (and some that had previously never even been released by Hasbro!), plus a few figures scavenged from the [[The Transformers (toyline)|original ''Generation 1'' toyline]], many of them [[redeco]]ed and [[retool]]ed (some of them extensively so), plus a few supplemental toys apparently intended for release in ''[[Microman]]''. Ultimately, only three characters received new toy sculpts: [[Moon (BW)|Moon]], [[Lio Convoy]], and [[Galvatron (BW)|Galvatron]]. We'd like to say it all fit together cohesively, but... no, not really. It's weird.

The toyline was backed up by a [[Beast Wars II: Super Lifeform Transformers (cartoon)|cel-animated anime series]] and a [[Beast Wars II: Super Lifeform Transformers (manga)|short-lived monthly manga]] in ''[[Comic Bom Bom]]'', though neither one exactly set the world on fire or helped move many toys.

As mentioned in the introductory paragraph, the toys related to the ''Beast Wars II'' fiction were not actually sold under that banner, but were branded with the normal ''Beast Wars'' logo... despite the complete change in packaging design and the use of ''Beast Wars II'' on checklists.

==1999 (''Beast Wars Neo'')==
{{nav-bwneo}}
[[Image:BWN-toy_Break.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Break, the shelliest shellformer who ever shelled.]]
The second of the two Takara-"original" ''Beast Wars'' line-ups, the toys collectively associated with the title ''Beast Wars Neo'' were released in [[1999]]. Takara apparently put the time saved by the previous year's rampant recycling of existing sculpts to good use, as the follow-up's biggest feature is probably the fact that it is positively ''heavy'' with all-new sculpts, plus a handful of retools, and only a very small number of straight redecos. Some of these toys would later see release in Hasbro markets, while others remain unreleased in Western markets to this very day.

The "Cybertrons" (i.e. Maximals) kept the mostly-mammals theme, while the "Destrons" (i.e. Predacons) had a theme of dinosaurs and other big scary prehistoric animals. Every new mold also had a pseudo-third "attack mode", typically a weapon or trap, though quite often they can be simply described as "pile of animal parts with a gimmick sticking off it".

The ''Neo'' line-up is also notable for being ''extremely'' short-lived at retail, with the majority of its product released over the span of a mere five months, quickly making way for ''Beast Wars Metals''. Supposedly, this is related to the fact that these toys did not fare well sales-wise. Japanese fans at the time cited the overly-complex toys being too difficult for the younger age group ''Transformers'' had been traditionally aimed at in Japan. Despite the Japanese ''Beast Wars'' media being aimed at the lower single-digits ages, these toys were ''notoriously'' complicated for that age group, with even grown adults finding the [[transformation]]s utterly frustrating, as they require multiple panels on [[ball joint|ball-jointed]] struts to be positioned ''precisely'' right for the [[beast mode]] to lock into place. On top of that, several of the toys are infamous for being "[[shellformer]]s"—[[Break]], in particular, could have all of his beast-mode panels/parts removed and ''still leave a fully functional robot mode behind''!
 
On top of that, the Cybertrons lacked appeal to kids as they largely had benign, not-exactly-combat-ready beast modes (likely why [[Hasbro]] has left most of those molds alone). Reportedly, ''Neo'' sold ''so'' bad it actually poisoned the well for the incoming ''Metals'' line, as kids largely left ''Transformers'' alone... which would force Takara to make some [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|drastic changes]] a little later on.

Like ''Beast Wars II'', ''Neo'' had a [[Super Lifeform Transformers: Beast Wars Neo (cartoon)|cel-animated cartoon]] and ''[[Comic Bom Bom]]'' [[Super Lifeform Transformers: Beast Wars Neo (manga)|manga]] to shill the toys. Despite this, the toys were still just branded ''Transformers: Beast Wars'', even though the packaging was redesigned again. For [[Japanese language|whatever reason]], the packaging rendered the faction names "Cybertron" and "Destron" as "Cybertoron" and "Destoron".

==1999 (''Beast Wars Metals'')==
{{nav-bwm}}
[[File:BW-toy Rattrap Metals.jpg|upright=1.33|thumb|Metals Rattrap, with subtle but important differences from the Hasbro Rattrap.]]
With seasons 2 and 3 of the Mainframe ''Beast Wars'' show finally wrapped up, Takara was able to send the show out as a full season with accompanying toyline. ''Metals'' was a smaller line than its predecessors, sticking entirely with characters who appeared in the show (even if not in Transmetal bodies). The first wave of toys had different, more "show-accurate" decoes and, notably, name [[tampograph]]s were replaced with generic "CYBERTRON" and "DESTRON" markings. However, toys in later waves were functionally the same as Hasbro releases (other than minor changes to Optimal Optimus/Powered Convoy). The line also included a Takara-only [[retool]] of Transmetal Cheetor into [[Ravage (G1)#Beast Wars|Ravage]] (a character that appeared on the show in that design), which was quickly a very sought-after item outside Japan.

Of particular note are the character [[bio]] cards that come with each toy. While bio cards had been in all previous Takara ''Transformers'' toylines (and were part of most toylines for many years after), for ''Metals'' the card fronts were three-stage lenticular-printed, showing the characters' robot, beast, and pre-Transmetal beast modes.

Along with the show, ''Metals'' got a ''[[Comic Bom Bom]]'' [[Super Lifeform Transformers: Beast Wars Metals (manga)|manga]] that is... kind of ''insane'', having little to nothing to do with the show outside of some very broad-strokes story elements, but it ''does'' feature all the characters in their toy-Transmetal bodies, at least.

Unfortunately, despite the initial ''Beast Wars'' line being very popular, the return to that cast and cartoon could not overcome the sales that had been slumping ever downward over the previous two years. As such, this line was ''incredibly'' short-lived, a mere four months long, plus Takara opted to pass on the Hasbro sequel series ''[[Beast Machines: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Machines]]'' in favor of their own original followup line, ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|Car Robots]]'', that hewed more closely to classic Transformers... mostly, at least. Though, ''Beast Machines'' would eventually get a limited release in Japan, several years later.

===Takara imports===
To combat their dwindling supply of domestic ''Beast Wars'' product (which sold like hotcakes) at the end of 1997, Takara resorted to importing toys made for the American market and slapping localized stickers on their packaging, although this resulted in prices double that of domestic product. And some misspelled names. This would be done again for some of the Transmetals 2 subline, with some sold at theaters and the rest at [[Toys"R"Us]]. Notably, three toys sold in theaters have minor paint variants not found in mainstream releases (which were identical in both Takara and Hasbro markets)—Depth Charge, Cheetor, and Dinobot.

===Hasbro imports===
[[Magmatron#Beast Machines|Magmatron]] was released by Hasbro in the United States as a [[Target]] exclusive. The toy itself was mostly unchanged, but put in ''[[Beast Machines: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Machines]]'' ''[[Dinobot (BM)|Dinobots]]'' packaging that also featured the Japanese ''[[Transformers brand|Transformers]]'' logo, Magmatron's own name in Katakana, and text taken from his original ''Beast Wars Neo'' packaging.

Additionally, Hasbro imported several other Japanese ''Beast Wars'' toys and made them available via their [https://web.archive.org/web/20001001070721/http://hasbrocollectors.com:80/brand.cfm?brand=8 "Hasbro Collectors" website]. Unlike Magmatron, these were just existing stock in their original packaging. All of them could be bought at a bit of a markup... though ultimately, they would end up being blown out at half-price.

===Sonokong ''Beast-War'' Korean series===
In [[South Korea]], Takara licensee [[Sonokong]] released a selection of ''Beast Wars II'' toys, under the title '''''Transformers: Beast-War''''' (트랜스포머 비스트-워 ''Teuraenseupomeo Biseuteu-Wo''). Subsequently, some of the ''Beast Wars Neo'' toys were released under the title '''''Beast-War Neo''''' (비스트-워 네오 ''Biseuteu-Wo Ne'o''), leaving out the "''Transformers''" part of the title from the previous line.

====''Beast-War''====
Each of the figures sold in the ''Beast-War'' toyline came with a minimum of two cardboard "{{w|Rock paper scissors|Jan-ken-pon}}" cards in place of the Japanese bio cards. Each card is printed on a single side with a picture of the character (usually just a straight reuse of the packaging art) and has either a rock, paper or scissors symbol printed in the top right corner. While the packaging and instructions give no explanation as to what this feature is for, a rough estimate would suggest that each card indicates which figure is stronger than the other, based on either of the three symbols. Additionally, there are unique dice rolls on each of the cards which suggests that a die must be used to play the game—''whatever that game may be''.

Some figures have been known to come with more than two cards—and in some extreme cases—the two cards that are supposed to be packaged with the respective figures are not included at all.

====''Beast-War Neo''====
Unlike the previous line, the ''Beast-War Neo'' figures include actual bio cards made of a similar material to that of the Japanese cards, rather than a piece of cardboard with a single side printed. For whatever reason, each of the figures in the line include a handful of randomly selected bio cards; meaning you could end up with multiples of the same character's card or none of the respective characters included in the box itself.

==Post-''Beast Wars'' releases==
As ''Beast Wars''—at least the first phase—was a big seller for Takara, they've dedicated ample space in later toylines for returns to those characters. For the same on Hasbro's side of things and post-brand unification toys (barring ''Masterpiece''), see [[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)#Post-Beast Wars releases|that toyline's corresponding article]].

===''Beast Wars Reborn'' (2006)===
{{nav-bwReborn}}

In celebration of the upcoming 10th anniversary of ''Beast Wars'', Takara released a set containing the original Ultra Class Convoy and Megatron toys with new, show-accurate heads and cartoon-based decos under the ''Beast Wars Reborn'' banner. Those toys were accompanied by a four-part text story serialized in ''[[Figure Ō]]'' magazine.

===''Beast Wars Telemocha Series'' (2007)===
{{nav-bwt}}
[[File:Blackarachniatelemocha.jpg|thumb|250px|''Telemocha'' Blackwidow (Blackarachnia)]]

[[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''Telemocha'' line (a combination of the words "'''tele'''vision" and "o'''mocha'''", the Japanese word for "toy") was much the same concept as Hasbro's ''[[Transformers: Beast Wars 10th Anniversary|10th Anniversary]]'' line, being spruced-up versions of the original molds packaged with DVDs of key episodes. However, not only did Takara ''really'' slather on the paint, but they made some odd additions to the line, including a couple of characters from ''[[Transformers: Beast Wars (Japanese toyline)#1998 (Beast Wars II)|Beast Wars II]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Beast Wars (Japanese toyline)#1999 (Beast Wars Neo)|Beast Wars Neo]]'', as well as an entirely new Predacon named [[Wolfang (Predacon)#Beast Wars Telemocha Series|Wolfang]] (pronounced "Volfang").

===''Beast Wars Again'' (2023)===
{{nav-bwa}}
[[2023]] saw a sudden revival of Japan's ''Beast Wars'' franchise as TakaraTomy sought to ensure children knew what the heck a "Beast Warrior" was ahead of the ''Beast Wars'' cast's big screen debut in [[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|''Rise of the Beasts]]. The toyline was composed of meticulously screen-accurate [[redeco]]es of the ''Beast Wars'' figures from the earlier ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom]]'' toyline.
