Dat's BEAST, dawg!

Beast (ビースト Bīsuto), or Beest, is a distant planet inhabited by a race of anthropomorphic animals known as the Beastformers. Beast used to be a relatively peaceful planet, with dissenters few and generally quiet about their dissatisfaction with the planet's then-rulers, until the Transformers came to stir things up as they so often do, with each faction joining with their appropriate Beastformer counterparts.

Beastformers comic

The planet Beast was originally a wasteland, scoured by intense heat with no water or breathable atmosphere. When the Three Wise Ones crash-landed there, they immediately moved underground and developed the vast subterranean empire of the Laser Beasts. Legend of the Three Wise Ones

20014 years later, after hostilities between the Laser Beasts began to develop, a group of peaceful Laser Beasts traveled to the surface of Beast for the first time ever. They found the planet had changed drastically since the Three Wise Ones founded their civilization, having become a jungle abundant with life. Meanwhile, a great flood wiped out the subterranean empire, leaving the remaining Laser Beasts to journey to the surface as well.

Encountering the Beastformers for the first time, the two Beast lifeforms immediately clashed in an all-out war which would decide the fate of planet Beast. Beastformers VS Laser Beasts

Ask Vector Prime

In Primax 304.25-P3 Zeta, Beast was allied with Nebulos, to protect against Destron incursions. As Megazarak desired the Ultra Matrix hidden on the planet by the Three Wise Ones, he re-developed Pretender technology to allow a commando team, led by Fenris, to operate on the planet's surface. Though the team successfully stole the Ultra Matrix, a Cybertron team, led by Marduk, retrieved it; in gratitude, White Leo gave the Ultra Matrix to the Cybertrons. Ask Vector Prime

Notes

• The first official English language spelling of the planet's name appeared in Dreamwave's 20th Anniversary Transformers Summer Special, where it was spelled Beest. However, every single other official English language spelling of the name ever (including the The Ark compendiums and the Metrodome, Madman and Shout! Factory DVD releases) have spelled it as the more intuitive Beast. Even though "Beest" came first for us Westerners, so far as this wiki is concerned, majority rules and we're going with "Beast".
