'''Fast Action Battlers''' are a subset of the [[Movie (franchise)|live-action movie toyline]] featuring Deluxe price-point renditions of movie characters that have been considerably simplified, so as to have the movie cast in toy-forms geared towards children a little too young to handle the more complicated "standard" line. They are a little larger than Deluxe figures and generally feature limited articulation in favor of action features and easy handling. They are similar to the previously-released ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]'' "Force Battler" action figures and the later ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]]'' "Action Battler" figures—except, obviously, the Star Wars and G.I. Joe figures can't transform.

Only the first three waves of the Fast Action Battlers (sans Frenzy, who was released as a [[Toy Hobby Market]] [[exclusive]] straight import of the Hasbro version) were released in [[Japan]], where they were involved in a cross-promotion with the concurrently released ''[[Transformers: Beast Wars Telemocha Series|Beast Wars Telemocha Series]]'' of reissues. A blurb on the toys' packaging and small photo-montage shorts of the toys, called ''[[Transformers: Beast Wars Diorama Story|Diorama Story]]'' (included on the DVDs packaged with the ''Telemocha'' figures) presented a scenario that involved the movie universe's Autobots and Decepticons being transported into the middle of the [[Beast Wars (event)|Beast Wars]].

Devastation Blast Long Haul

Fast Action Battlers are a subset of the live-action movie toyline featuring Deluxe price-point renditions of movie characters that have been considerably simplified, so as to have the movie cast in toy-forms geared towards children a little too young to handle the more complicated "standard" line. They are a little larger than Deluxe figures and generally feature limited articulation in favor of action features and easy handling. They are similar to the previously-released Star Wars "Force Battler" action figures and the later G.I. Joe "Action Battler" figures—except, obviously, the Star Wars and G.I. Joe figures can't transform.

Only the first three waves of the Fast Action Battlers (sans Frenzy, who was released as a Toy Hobby Market exclusive straight import of the Hasbro version) were released in Japan, where they were involved in a cross-promotion with the concurrently released Beast Wars Telemocha Series of reissues. A blurb on the toys' packaging and small photo-montage shorts of the toys, called Diorama Story (included on the DVDs packaged with the Telemocha figures) presented a scenario that involved the movie universe's Autobots and Decepticons being transported into the middle of the Beast Wars.
