Beast Wars: Transformers, known as Beasties: Transformers in Canada, is a Canadian computer-generated animated TV series that premiered in 1996, marking the beginning of the Transformers: Beast Wars franchise. This series is set in the future of the “original” Transformers universe, acting as a continuation of the initial Transformers series.

Produced by Canada’s Mainframe Entertainment, the series had Bob Forward and Larry DiTillio as its story editors. All three seasons are currently available on DVD in the United States and other Region 1 areas. In Australia, Madman Entertainment released all three seasons in Region 4 format in 2006 to celebrate the show’s tenth anniversary. These box sets feature “world exclusive” special content, including commentaries and interviews with the voice cast.

Clyde Klotz, the show’s production designer, received a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Individual Achievement in Animation in 1997 for his contributions to Beast Wars.
