| The name or term "Beast Wars" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Beast Wars (disambiguation). |
Transformers: Beast Wars is an ongoing comic series from IDW Publishing that ran from February 2021 to June 2022. A reboot of the Beast Wars premise, the series arrived in time for the 25th anniversary.
| “ | Beast Wars is a beloved part of the Transformers legacy. That’s why we couldn’t pass up launching a new series in tandem with the 25th anniversary! Erik and Josh are going to take everything that’s beloved about Beast Wars — the characterization, the drama, the jokes — and start fresh with a series that will feel at home for fans of 25 years and first-timers alike. | ” |
