| The '''Cyborg Beasts''' (サイボーグビースト ''Saibōgu Bīsuto'') are freakish fusions of animal and machine, born from exposure to dangerously high levels of [[Angolmois Energy]]. Although they are more powerful than their former incarnations, the [[Combatron (BWII)|Combatron]]s, they remain just as splintered as ever. [[Megastorm|Gigastorm]] has ensnared [[Dirge (BWII)|Dirgegun]] and [[Thrust (BWII)|Thrustor]] to his traitorous will, while [[Starscream (BWII)|Hellscream]] and [[BB|Max-B]] strive to get revenge on Gigastorm for his many betrayals. So naturally, they're constantly at each other's throats.
| |
| | |
| The Cyborg Beasts include:
| |
| | |
| *[[Dirge (BWII)|Dirgegun]], cyborg bee.
| |
| *[[Starscream (BWII)|Hellscream]], cyborg shark.
| |
| *[[BB|Max-B]], cyborg dog.
| |
| *[[Thrust (BWII)|Thrustor]], cyborg velociraptor.
| |
| | |
| They are sometimes also known as "'''Cyber Beasts'''", in which cases [[Megastorm|Gigastorm]] is included as their leader.

| The [[Combatron (BWII)|Combatron]]s were kicked into a hot spring after they served the wrong drink to [[Megastorm|Gigastorm]], who became furious. After enjoying the hot spring for a while, they found that they <s>became extremely ugly</s> were upgraded into the Cyborg Beasts and found a warning sign, noting it was an Angolmois Energy processing facility by the [[Autoroller (BWII)|Autoroller]]s instead of a hot spring. {{storylink|Recover the Bonds Lost!}}

| When coming into contact with [[Angolmois Energy]], Megastorm was transformed into the more powerful Gigastorm. He set out, creating a new subfaction within the [[Destron (BW)|Destrons]], the Cyber Beasts. To fill up this subfaction, Gigastorm exposed BB, Dirge, Starscream, and Thrust to Angolmois Energy, transforming them into Max-B, Dirgegun, Hellscream, and Thrustor. {{storylink|Transformers: Beast Wars Sourcebook|Beast Wars Sourcebook}}

| As [[Magmatron]] surveyed the apocalyptic future [[Shokaract]] was destined to usher in, he saw Dirgegun engaged in furious combat with several other Predacons. {{storylink|The Ascending issue 1|The Ascending #1}}

| Maximals and Predacons alike rose up to confront Shokaract, but he unleashed his own warriors: Hellscream, Max-B and Thrustor, along with [[Antagony (BW)|Antagony]] and [[Hardhead (BWN)|Hardhead]]. {{storylink|The Ascending issue 3|The Ascending #3}} These heralds battled the Cybertronians being led by [[Lio Convoy]] and [[Big Convoy]], but it was ultimately a treacherous underhanded sneak attack by [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]] (combined with a grenade or two) which ended the threat of the Cyborg Beasts and their allies. {{storylink|The Ascending issue 4|The Ascending #4}}

| ==Notes==
| |
| *The Cyborg Beasts are never referred to as such in either their original toys' packaging or the cartoon. The name was primarily used in the ''Beast Wars II'' manga and other print media, originating from material published ahead of the toys' releases.
| |
| *A longstanding fan belief led IDW's ''Beast Wars Sourcebook'' to declare Gigastorm both a "Cyber Beast" himself and their leader. Though he did play a pivotal role in upgrading the Combatrons into the Cyborg Beasts in both the cartoon and manga, Gigastorm himself was not a Cyborg Beast in any of the original Japanese fiction.
