Moon (BW)
| This article is about the transforming bunny from Beast Wars II. For the Earth's natural orbiting satellite, see Moon (moon). |
Moon was a transforming bunny from the Beast Wars II portion of the Generation 1 continuity.
Moon is a relic from the past of the planet Gaia. While a transforming bunny rabbit, he is not of Cybertronian origin. He is stationed on the moon orbiting the planet along with his partner, Artemis. Together, they watch the battle unfold between the Maximals and the Predacons, gathering data in secret. He also ends every sentence with the word "moon".
Moon's special ability is the power to become invisible.
Fiction
Beast Wars II and Neo cartoon
Voice actor: Junko Takeuchi (Japan)
Moon, along with Artemis, watched over the Beast Wars on planet Gaia, gathering information on the events and organizing the data. At first they made a stern effort not to interact with the Transformers on Gaia, until Galvatron summoned the battleship Nemesis, which threatened the entire planet.
Choosing to side with the Maximals, Moon and Artemis aided the good guys in reaching the Nemesis from Gaia and were instrumental in the final battle.
After the defeat of Unicron, both Moon and Artemis were invited to stay on Cybertron and helped rebuild the war-torn planet.

Trivia
- With Artemis, Moon appears as a secret character in the Japanese Gameboy Color cross-series Beast Wars fighting game.
- Moon's packaging features a unique Beast Points symbol that was seemingly used nowhere else.
- A pocket-sized Japanese guide book to Beast Wars II contained an early concept drawing of Moon. Instead of being a rabbit, he was a bizarre-looking, vaguely lemur-like creature with huge ears and a pierced tail.
- Since Moon hails from Gaia's past and Gaia is a future version of Earth it seems likely that he was of human construction.
