#REDIRECT[[Transformers: Beast Wars (Japanese toyline)#1998 (Beast Wars II)]]
The Japan-exclusive '''''Beast Wars II''''' toyline took and [[redeco]]ed or [[retool]]ed already-existing molds from previous toy lines, such as ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'', ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'', and even [[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]]. Only three characters received new toy molds: [[Moon (BWII)|Moon]], [[Lio Convoy]], and [[Galvatron (BWII)|Galvatron]].
 
''Beast Wars II'' wasn't actually its own toyline per se—the toys related to the ''Beast Wars II'' fiction were all released under the regular ''Beast Wars'' banner.
