Japanese Transformers Beast Wars Beast Generations Mook Listed On Amazon.jp

Weapon: Battle Blades
Greetings Seibertronians! An interesting new item has been found on the Japanese Amazon site that may get the attention of Beast Wars fans! A listing has been found for a Transformers Beast Wars Beast Generations mook (a magazine designed to have a longer shelf life then other magazines, mook is a portmanteau of magazine and book). So far there isn't any cover pictures and only the description to go on.

Image

Here is a machine translation of the product description:

Amazon wrote:Transformer Beast Wars Beast Generation (Hobby Japan MOOK1043)

The world's first mook that summarizes the "Beast Wars" series, which recorded a big hit with a novel gimmick that animals "transform" into robots instead of cars and airplanes from the deformed toy series "Transformers" which is still popular worldwide Appeared.
Introducing successive domestic and foreign items developed from "Beast Wars: Transformers of Super Life" in 1997 to "Beast Wars: Transformers of Super Life" in 2004 with new shooting.
In addition, we will also record valuable existing materials and developer interviews.


The title is due to be released on December 3rd, 2020.

Will you be getting this? Do you think there may be further Kingdom teases within it? Or even a glimpse at the rumored MP Rattrap? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

The 2004 bit is in regards to Beast Wars Returns (Beast Machines) since Japan didn't get that series until that year.

Oh man, this mook is covering way more than I was expecting. I know it's not likely to happen, but it's enough to really make me wish that this would get an English version, even one that still focused on the Japanese side of things.

Is that was that nightmarish thing is to the left of the Diver/Niagra set? I asked on another forum yesterday, but I guess it got buried. I only remember the few kids/animals Animorph toys, nothing like that. My kids actually watched the show when it was on Netflix a few years back. I fully admit it was desperate on Hasbro's part to slap the TF brand on Animorphs. In the end it didn't really help, but I guess it probably didn't hurt either. Were they actually released in Japan? Or is this book just trying to cover everything from that time period?

ya, that is the main villain, whos name I had to google to remember (visser three). thats the Mega version, which had 3 modes.* edit: looking closer that is not the mega, that is the smaller figure. I forgot that the mega version was skittles colored. Technically, one of the few decent toys from the line. Though they did set the bar pretty low. I liked the trex trio, and the mega scale tobias is easily one of the best bird transformers ever made imho, except for his floppy falls off hands.

as for them in Japan, idk. I know according to the afore mentioned google search, there are 2 toys that are listed as non U.S. only.

I think it's covering everything. There's a lot of Hasbro-only stuff in the above pics as well as Takara stuff.

As for the Animorphs line, the human toys were bad. Very bad. Which is why I only got the four non-human toys that changed from aliens into monsters:
  • Mega class Ax/Scorpion
  • Mega class Visser Three/Inferno Creature
  • Ultra class triple changer Visser Three/Inferno Beast/Hork-Bajir
  • And even the uber-rare European-only Deluxe class Taxxon/Alien

Their construction, engineering, molded details, and gradient coloring make them feel like lost Transmetal 2 toys.

The Taxxon definitely has the same walking legs gimmick as the Megatron Megabolt mold, yes.

Sort of. The double knees can actually straighten out, unlike Scourge's legs.

The Taxxon's legs just look better bent like that since straightening them out looks more silly, what with how tiny and thin they are compared the rest of its much larger and bulky upper body, which would thus make it look like it's walking on sticks for legs.

Oh I see, they straighten?? Silliness aside, it looks like the figure would be far too top heavy if that were the default.

Car Robots, the Japanese version, is part of the Beast Era, yes.

The English version, Robots in Disguise, however, is its own unique standalone thing because it made enough changes to stand on its own.

To quote Chris McFeely:
I mean it's not lumping, for all intents and purposes, Car Robots IS part of the Beast Era. In Hasbro markets we tend to think of it as more of a transitional series between the Beast Era and the Unicron Trilogy - moving from North American production to Japanese, from CG to cel-animated anime, switching to the logo that would be used across all brands for the next five years - but in Japan, they'd already done two cel-animated Beast series, so it wasn't unusual and after Car Robots, they took two years off, with no new TF cartoons on TV until Armada started the Unicron Trilogy in 2003. As you say, it uses BW toys, and the new toy engineering - particularly on figures like the Autobot Brothers - is pure Japanese Beast Era shellforming, and even the re-use of molds from previous lines had already been done by BWII, so it wasn't unusual either. In a Japanese book, it'd be weird to exclude it.
