Mutant Beast Wars

This article is about the historical event within the fiction. For the real-world franchise, see Mutant Beast Wars (franchise).

The Mutant Beast Wars are a conflict from the Beast Era portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

In order to win the Beast Wars, Megatron developed an experimental anti-conversion virus which was supposed to first lock his enemies into beast mode, then eventually lead to their shutdown. When used on a group of Fuzors, it had drastic unintended side-effects, creating the Mutants. The Mutants were trapped between two ferocious Beast Modes. In addition, they developed powerful extrasensory abilites, making them a potent threat to Megatron. The four Mutants formed their own band of renegades, thus starting the Mutant Beast Wars.
