Earlier today we received an announcement hinting towards a combination of Q-Transformers and the 20th Anniversary of Beast Wars. It was easy to jump to conclusions and assume we’d be seeing Beast Wars characters in the Q-Transformers styling. Unfortunately for now, it looks like we are not seeing merchandise in this form. Although our hopes were high, the announcement was rather a short video of Beast Wars history presented by Q-Transformers Arcee.
The short video can be found on Nicovideo, although we do not have a thorough translation at this time. Given the popularity of Q-Transformers, is it possible we’ll see Beast Wars introduced to the line during its 20th Anniversary celebration? Time will tell, head on over to the discussion thread to discuss!

Cool.

damn right that's great.
True, hell you can still find Rhinox or Rattrap shelfwarming some places.
You know what would be a good idea…..rearing on Beast Wars on TV.

Or maybe even updates of the cancelled figures!

No, they require you to join in order to comment. You can watch the video just fine, at least I could when the video was uploaded and I still can, just tried it again.
Anyways, there’s a YouTube-link on page 2.

Could someone upload this video to an actual, normal video site, like Youtube, please? Rubish, Japanese video sites like the one in the link require me to "join" in order to view the video.
Cheers.

I would like to see them release cancelled figures from the BW line.
Automorpher
I see…Thanks for clarifying.
I guess I was under the impression that these were official materials which never saw the light of the day. (Since the read up on that link points these under The Lost Transformers Part 4.)

It's January…let's maybe hold off on panicking about the lack of any BW material until at least Botconish?
Also, we've already got three confirmed BW offerings this year:
– YotM Primal
– Botcon Predacus
– MP Primal
Plus the increased inclusion of Beast Wars characters in IDW. That's off to a good start.

This is what you're thinking of

Really sweet design but, like already said, unfortunately it's just fan art. Maybe one day a third party will pick it up..
Automorpher
If my memory serves me correctly, I first saw that under the header of cancelled designs, along with Scorponok & Transmetal Tigatron.
I would like to be pointed to the right direction if someone would verify/clarify this.
guard convoy
the did in japan already but i would love an english subbed release
Super4Ever
I thought that was a fan design?
Automorpher
If anything, the one figure I would like to see is the cancelled Griffin Primal.
I've been deeply mesmerised by that artwork that was shared in BWs Discussion thread sometime back.
You want a BW toy that can sell, a Prime would be one of the right choices.
Chaos Prime
Well I can't really say that I care much about that. But I am hoping to see some more Beast Wars figures for the Classics line. I'm not sure how that would fit with Titans Returns, but I'm sure Hasbro will find a way.
Automorpher
At this point of time, I'll be happy to complete the screen characters (Maximals/Cybertrons) via newer release through Generations & the likes.
Anything beyond that is pretty challenging…
Ravage101
I'm puzzled. Why isn't both Hasbro and Takara celebrating the 20th Anniversary of Beast Wars, together? Why is HAsbro not involved.
I loved Beast Wars. I would would be pretty bummed if the US never got to see new generations figures of classic Beast Wars characters on Target pegs and shelves.
SouthtownKid
Interesting they make a point to point out that the cartoon was made in Canada.
Also interesting that they are calling it the 20th anniversary as well, even though it didn't start in Japan until '97.
