Beast (ビースト Bīsuto), or Beest, is a distant planet inhabited by a race of anthropomorphic animals known as the Beastformers.

Notes
- The first official English interpretation of the planet's name appeared in the 20th Anniversary Transformers Summer Special, where it was referred to as "Planet Beest". Previously, the planet was simply spelled "Beast" in most English episode guides written by fans, as no English version of the name had ever been officially released at the time. The Ark compendiums and the Metrodome DVD releases use the more traditional spelling, as does this wiki.
Foreign names
