"Beast Wars Transformers" Toy Review Index

01/15/22

In 1996 Kenner made a bold and radical change to the Transformers toy line.  Gone were Autobots and Decepticons.  In their place were their descendents: the Maximals and Predacons!  Featuring techno-organic beast modes and highly stylized robot modes, Beast Wars Transformers was unlike anything fans had seen before.  While controversial at the time, the series has gone on to be recognized as the line that revitalized the Transformers brand.
