	:The ''Transformers: Beast Wars'' Laser Light Yo-Yo (トランスフォーマービーストウォーズレーザーライトヨーヨー) is a yo-yo released during the days of ''Beast Wars II'' but marked as a ''Beast Wars'' product. [[Tasmania Kid]], who plays with this yo-yo (although it looks little like it) in the [[Beast Wars II: Super Lifeform Transformers (cartoon)\|cartoon]] is depicted on the packaging, although it could technically also be [[Snarl (BW)\|Snarl]]. With the Laser Light Yo-Yo, recommended for 8 years and older, [[TakaraTomy\|Takara]] sought to cash in on the yo-yo craze ignited by [[Bandai]]'s introduction of the Hyper Yo-Yo in the spring of 1997 and it's therefore a decent quality responsive yo-yo. It has a diameter of 58.6mm, width of 47.4mm, gap width of 3.0mm, and weights 79.79g. Its bearing is plastic, it utilizes the Starburst response system, and it features a unique double clutch mechanism.		:The ''Transformers: Beast Wars'' Laser Light Yo-Yo (トランスフォーマービーストウォーズレーザーライトヨーヨー) is a yo-yo released during the days of ''Beast Wars II'' but marked as a ''Beast Wars'' product.

The yo-yo's gimmick is a light show produced when the centrifugal force of the spin causes a metal ball inside to press against a wire that allows the four internal LED-systems to light up. The light show consists of various patterns created by the movement in four concentric circles that in descending order are red, green, yellow, and red. The LEDs run on two LR44 button batteries.<ref>[https://ameblo.jp/velvetroll/entry-12616347608.html Takara "Beast Wars Laser Light Yo-Yo": Yo-Yo Review (in Japanese)]</ref>		:The yo-yo is black with silver decoration, comprising, on the front, the [[Maximal]] [[insignia]] in the center, the words "BEAST WARS" along the edge, and random circuit board imagery all-around, and, on the back, the American ''Beast Wars'' logo, copyright data, LED positions, and more random circuit board imagery.
