The Japan-exclusive '''''Beast Wars II''''' toy-line took and mostly redecoed already-existing molds from previous toy lines, such as ''[[Beast Wars (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'', ''[[Generation 2]]'', and even Generation 1. Only three characters received new toy molds: [[Moon (BWII)|Moon]], [[Lio Convoy]] and [[Galvatron (BWII)|Galvatron]].
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 (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'', ''[[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]].


==Cybertrons==
''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.
For the most part, the regular Cybertrons for the ''Beast Wars II'' line were repaints of ''Beast Wars'' figures which did not have characterizations in the show. In this category, only the Cybertron leader, [[Lio Convoy]], received a newly designed figure.

'BB' has a Gatling missile cannon which can fire six missiles in quick seccesion as well as a number of 'bomb ports' which can drop missiles straight down from jet mode. Lastly, BB is also capable of assuming a 'Cybertronic Tank' mode, which uses the Gatling launcher as its turret.
 
:The two figures were sold together or also in a three-pack which also included the Cybertron [[Bighorn]].

Japanese Generation 1 continuity
« Beast Wars II »

The Japan-exclusive Beast Wars II toyline took and redecoed or retooled already-existing molds from previous toy lines, such as Beast Wars, Generation 2, and even Generation 1. Only three characters received new toy molds: Moon, Lio Convoy and 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.
