For whatever reason, the ''Beast Wars Metals'' manga remains the only ''Beast Wars'' manga not to be collected and released in graphic novel format. With the cancellation of ''Comic Bom Bom'' in 2006, back issues have become highly sought after and difficult to obtain, even in Japan, making them a rare find for Westerners (who give a damn).

[edit]

Fifteen freakin' years later, the series was finally collected in an e-book by publisher Hero-X. Why it wasn't initially collected like the previous Beast Wars manga series by Imaki, who knows. Better late than never, though.

A physical release of the collection followed in July 2016, published by Fukkan.com in conjunction with the Beast Wars 20th anniversary. All customers who pre-ordered the book got a bonus postcard with art from the comic, and 30 lucky souls got a copy with an autograph by Imaki.
