Item Description

Beast Wars gave Transformers a whole new identity in the late 1990s: robots disguised as animals, rendered in CGI and locked in a prehistoric struggle between Maximals and Predacons. The Transmetals upgrade pushed the idea further, giving the warriors metallic bodies with a third, vehicle-style form, and this Nintendo 64 fighter is built entirely around that three-way transformation.

Matches are one-on-one duels in open 3D arenas, and switching forms is the whole strategy. Robot mode carries the most firepower, including a homing shot and a chargeable mega shot, but lingering in it drains your Energon Resistance Gauge. Beast mode recharges that gauge and toughens your defense at the cost of ranged attacks, while vehicle mode trades power for speed, dashes and homing missiles. You have to pass through vehicle form to switch between beast and robot, so every change is a small gamble. Charge the mega shot all the way and you unleash the Ultra Blast, an attack that can't be blocked or dodged, and the R button sets off a Transmetal Attack that can cancel incoming fire for a price in stamina.

The roster pits Optimus Primal, Rattrap, Cheetor and Airazor against Megatron, Tarantulas, Waspinator and Terrorsaur, with alternate-color versions of Tigatron, Ravage, Blackarachnia and Starscream hidden behind a select-screen code in the North American release. Arcade Mode runs through seven opponents, and a flawless run earns a single shot at the boss Megatron X. Vs. and Team Battle modes support two players, the latter letting each side draft a squad of four, and every character gets individual ending text rather than a generic faction wrap-up. A bonus menu adds mini-games such as Escape Race and Disc Hunter.

Developed by Locomotive and released by Takara in Japan before BAM! Entertainment brought it west in 2000, it is a niche licensed fighter rather than a genre heavyweight, and that is part of its charm. Very few games let you play as the Beast Wars cast at all, and this one nails the part of the show that mattered most on the playground: the snap of changing forms in the middle of a fight, with Optimus Primal and Megatron in your own hands.
