Fiction

Beastformers manga

Tens of thousands of years ago, the Three Wise Ones crash-landed on Beast and quickly discovered that they could not survive due to the planet's incredible temperature. Immediately, they located a cave and chose to live underground where they could survive somehow. Using their incredible knowledge, they created three machines capable of unfathomable destruction which they dubbed "Head Hunters". They used the Hunters to build a vast subterranean empire, but fearing the destructive power of the Hunters, had all three units separated and hidden across the globe. Later, they developed a new kind of lifeform that would protect the planet after they were gone, the Laser Beast.

The Laser Beasts developed an underground civilization relying on machines, but over time, they themselves became as cold and unfeeling as their machines. A small group of them were opposed to this development and left for the surface, where they founded another race known as the Beastformers. 20014 years later after their creation, the Laser Beasts' city was destroyed in a great natural disaster that opened up a rift to the surface, causing water to pour in and flood it. Legend of the Three Wise Ones

With the artificial sun that powered them on the brink of destruction, the surviving Laser Beasts chose to travel to the surface where they could rely on the real sun. Finding the surface inhabited by the Beastformers, the cold-hearted Tigerburn immediately decided to wipe their cousins out and take Beast for their own. They swiftly conquered most of North Snarl in preparation for attacking the strongest Beastformer nation, Bistoram, and violently rejected the Beastformer leader White Leo's peace offer. A war then broke out between the two factions, during which the Laser Beasts were able to conquer half of the Beastformers' territories before getting pushed back when their enemies discovered the Head Hunters. In response, they developed their own vehicles in the form of the Battlecruisers and continued the war. Beastformers VS Laser Beasts
