Byakurēn

The Byacrane is a cult of Bear Transformers founded by Missionary Kuma Kinkin. They have goals of Galactic Domination.

Beating up monks and stealing holy relics!

Beast Wars Neo Manga

The Byacrane worship an Angolmois capsule as a holy relic. (As the Angolmois capsules contain the essence of Unicron, this effectively makes the Byancrane a satanic cult.) Big Convoy's crew of Maximals infiltrated their inner sanctuary to steal it. When discovered, the monks attacked the maximals, but were beaten with relative ease.

Movement founder Kuma Kinkin gave them more trouble, but was also beaten, and the Maximals escaped with the capsule.
