	In [[2006]], [[IDW Publishing]] commemorated the tenth anniversary of the [[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)\|''Beast Wars'']] cartoon by releasing two miniseries that wrapped around the events depicted in the original television show. Over the next few years, this continuity evolved into a small universe of its own that diverges from other ''Beast Wars'' media in ways both large and small. Most notably, the continuity incorporates a variation of both [[Beast Wars II: Super Lifeform Transformers (franchise)\|Beast Wars II]] and [[Super Lifeform Transformers: Beast Wars Neo (franchise)\|Beast Wars Neo]] into its history to create a fairly unique timeline for the [[Beast Era]] as a whole.

	The universe came to an apparent end in [[2016]], with the release of ''[[Dawn of the Predacus]]'', although this comic proved controversial as it contradicted details that had been previously established by other works of ancillary ''Beast Wars'' media, it seems as though it brought the universe to a close; when IDW next approached the ''Beast Wars'' franchise in [[2021]], it was in the form of a [[Transformers: Beast Wars\|rebooted comic]] that reimagined the original show.

	In [[2006]], [[IDW Publishing]] commemorated the tenth anniversary of the [[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)\|''Beast Wars'']] cartoon by releasing two miniseries that wrapped around the events depicted in the original television show. Over the next few years, this continuity evolved into a small universe of its own that diverges from other ''Beast Wars'' media in ways both large and small. Most notably, the continuity incorporates a variation of both [[Beast Wars II: Super Lifeform Transformers (franchise)\|Beast Wars II]] and [[Super Lifeform Transformers: Beast Wars Neo (franchise)\|Beast Wars Neo]] into its history to create a fairly unique timeline for the [[Beast Era]] as a whole.

	The universe came to an apparent end in [[2016]], with the release of ''[[Dawn of the Predacus]]'', although this comic proved controversial as it contradicted details that had been previously established by other works of ancillary ''Beast Wars'' media, it seems as though it brought the universe to a close; when IDW next approached the ''Beast Wars'' franchise in [[2021]], it was in the form of a [[Transformers: Beast Wars\|rebooted comic]] that reimagined the original show.
