Beast Wars Second Transformers
Translated by Doug Dlin
C-12 Apache
Function: Deputy Commander
Profile: Apache is a cool, composed authority figure,
but he's also shown a slightly eccentric side since he began
transforming into a mandrill, snarling when upset. Recently, he and the
suddenly cautious Lio Convoy have locked horns over the execution of
operations. His entire body is a mass of weapons, and his "Mode 3"
fortress mode's fusillades are powerful indeed. He also enjoys heavy
metal music.

C-13 Bighorn
Function: Shock Trooper
Profile: Charges in headlong - hates to show his back
to the enemy. Because of this, there are times when he plays into the
enemy's hands. However, he also happens to have a gentle, nature loving
side. He particularly likes red flowers, and even paints his own body
red. Has a Buffalo Missile weapon with his tail as the trigger. He has
his friends handle the trigger timing (by having them pull his tail) so
he can concentrate on taking aim, thus raising his accuracy rating. He
has a habit of stamping his feet.

C-14 Tasmania Kid
Function: Trickster
Profile: The idol and prankster figure of the
Cybertrons, Kid nonetheless desires more than anyone else to be
recognized as a full-fledged warrior. The actions that result from his
ambitions often end up making a situation worse. He loves adventure and
will often stay out overnight without permission, getting his fill of
nature - and then getting his fill of Lio Convoy's discipline.

C-15 Scuba
Function: Marine Operations
Profile: Fastest in the water of the Cybertrons, Scuba
grasps his enemies in his tentacles, drains their energy with his
suckers, and then delivers the final blow with his sharp fangs. A shy
type, given the choice, he prefers to be alone, and he is quick to see
the down side of things. Somehow, he is gifted with great penmanship,
and is asked to write love letters, battle challenges and so on. "I said
I wouldn't do it, so forget it!" he usually responds.

C-16 Lio Convoy
Function: Supreme Commander
Profile: Honest, with a strong sense of right and
wrong, though there are times when his seriousness appears humorous. Lio
convoy has a harsh, career-military side to him, but also has a humane
gentleness. There are times when he behaves as if he knows something
about the secrets of the planet where the battle is taking place.

C-17 Big Mos
Function: Insectron Commander
Profile: Leader of the insect force known as the
Insectrons. However, as each of them pretty much does as he pleases,
they lack cooperative spirit. Before coming to planet Gaia, they were
soldiers running about the universe, and were even familiar with the
Autorollers. Bigmos can transform into a "Mode 3" ant-lion form. He has
a weakness for tomato juice. The Needle Missiles he fires from his mouth
can even pierce through steel.

C-18 Powerhug
Function: Judo Expert
Profile: The Insectrons' Judo Master, Powerhug is
covered with an incredibly durable shell. Straightforward of character,
for some reason he speaks with a Kyushu dialect. Long ago, he apparently
had a nasty experience with the Autorollers, and is hoping to settle the
score. His special skill is the Hug Hell Wheel, in which he rolls into a
ball and delivers a body blow. In beast mode, his fangs and tail become
alloy cutters. His crushing Power Hug pinions his enemies.

C-19 Tonbot
Function: Forest Reconnaissance
Profile: The Insectrons' requisite spy, Tonbot is a
flashy type who enjoys dressing up. His specialty is strewing his
conversation with English. His tail contains powerful Botshot homing
missiles, and he can blast a solvent liquid or mist from his mouth,
literally enveloping pursuing enemies in smoke. His flight speed is the
fastest of the Insectrons, and he can make his way as high as the
stratosphere under his own power. He also enjoys sunset skies.

C-20 Mantis
Function: Ninja
Profile: The Insectrons often take independent action,
but even among them, Mantis is an especially cool samurai. He is
strongly territorial, and won't tolerate anyone disturbing his sleep.
The sickle blades on his arms are incredibly sharp, and his Full-Moon
Slice confuses his enemies' sight, then delivers the final blow. He can
freely guide his saucer shurikens via telepathy. Autolauncher's disks
provide a good challenge.

C-21 Drill Nuts
Function: Underground Engineer
Profile: The self-styled "Greatest Inventor of the
Insectrons", Drillnuts is forever building "highly useless" items. He is
also an expert in bombs and gunpowder. Rather sarcastic in personality,
he is also uncommonly tenacious. Using his arm drill, he can travel
freely about underground, carrying out sneak attacks from beneath his
enemies' feet. His favourite food is persimmon seeds.

C-22 Scissorboy
Function: Strategy Member
Profile: Talkative and quick-witted, Scissorboy seems
to have hit it off with Tasmania Kid and is good friends with him.
Before finding his way to planet Gaia, he was also familiar with the
Autorollers, but not friendly with them. The pincers on his tail (Mighty
Scissors) can be equipped in either his chest or his hand when he's in
robot mode. He's also a bit fussy about money.

C-23 DJ
Function: Sonic Operative
Profile: Eldest of the three Jointron brothers, DJ has
a habit of wetting himself whenever he's had too much oil to drink.
Hidden in his wings are two Seven-Year Swords. If he uses them in a
normal, straightforward way, he can chop even large trees in two at a
single stroke, but he seems to prefer playing music with them by
snapping them together. DJ also creates special sound waves that can be
heard 10,000 km away.

C-24 Motorarm
Function: Sumo Wrestler
Profile: Middle member of the three Tripledacus
brothers, Motorarm is a sumo wrestler who belongs to the Trias Room of
Universal Sumo Association. He is currently undergoing warrior training
with his brothers in order to cure his ever-excitable nature. With his
fearsome strength, he can even lift up Megastorm barehanded. The source
of his power is energon chanko-nabe, a filling stew that is a standard
of sumo wrestler's diets. In his shell he holds a steel blade called the
Utchari Claw while objects struck by the light and heat of Magma Horn on
his head are melted into soup.

C-25 Gimlet
Function: Polar Operative
Profile: Youngest of the three Jointron brothers
Latino-style-lovin' Tripledacus brothers, Gimlet is a real dancin' fool,
cheerful no matter what the state of battle. His Cruncher claws have a
vice-like power to crush and grind, enough even to turn coal into
diamond instantly. He also has powerful Lobslicer cutters inside those
claws, but doesn't use them often as weapons, ratting them like maracas
instead. Hoy Amigo!

C-26 Lio Junior
Function: Warrior
Profile: Lio Junior was created by the influence of the
good Angolmois energy upon the matrix in Lio Convoy's chest. He
possesses an innocent, free and wild personality. His tail becomes a
Lion Vute whip, while twin horns extend from his mane to fire Angolmois
Ball light spheres. His mane can also become Lion Wings, with which he
can fly for short distances.
PWR...8; INT...7; SPD...8; END...6; RNK...7; CRG...10; FPR...5; TCH...5
C-27 Sky Warp
Function: Sonic Speed Instructor
Profile: Skywarp is an aerial combat instructor
dispatched from Seibertron as reinforcements for Lio Convoy's troops.
While strict, she has more consideration than anyone else for young
Cybertron warriors. Parts of her wings become Wing Caliber Swords and
she has super-oscillation generators in her wing tips. Combining these
with her sonic booms, they clear the ground around her. And if that's
not enough, she can fold over her wings and fire her Sky Missiles.

C-28 Santon
Function: Medic
Profile: Seibertron's best medical doctor, Santon was
dispatched along with Skywarp as reinforcements for Lio Convoy's troops.
Santon is a philanthropist who highly values the sanctity of life. In
Beast Mode, he has Ki-Shot cannons behind his ears, though these have no
capacity to kill or wound. He can stomp his feet and shake the ground
for his Santon Quake, a terrific ability that leaves his enemies unable
to stand. He can also project his Santon Shield barrier from his
tusks.

X-2 Diver
Function: Field Defence
Profile: A guard stationed at the Niagara base, Diver's
jumping power is the greatest of the Cybertrons. Prudent and timid, yet
also rather careless, he usually avoids dangerous work by saying, "It
was my grandfather's dying wish...." On the other hand, moved by
friendship, he has often met danger side on. In frog mode, Diver appears
unarmed, but can catch enemies by surprise with a tongue-punch. His
specialty is singing, and he sings rap songs to himself. When he's
surprised in robot mode, Diver's neck pops out to full length.

X-3 Tripledacus
Function: Combination Giant
Profile: The combined form of DJ, Motorarm and Gimlet.
Taller than even Galvatron and practically a match for Lio Convoy in
abilities, he only lacks in mobility. His right hand is the Triple
Blaster, an all-purpose gun formed from the union of the three
Jointrons' weapons. It can slice a tank into thirds, or fire its
Seven-Year Sword missiles to sink a battleship 4 km away. His left hand
is comprised of Motorarm's Magma Horns, which melt whatever they
touch.

X-4 Magnaboss
Function: Gestalt Warrior
Profile: The combined form of Lio Junior, Sky Warp and
Santon. A fusion of Lio Junior's courage, Sky Warp's intelligence and
Santon's kindness, he is a symbol of hope for the Cybertrons. From his
Magnablade, a combo-sword made from a union of the three component
robots' weapons, Magnaboss fires laser shockwaves that mow down
approaching enemies. He can also shoot off tremendous Angolmois Balls
from his horns and fire Sky Missiles from his body.

X-5 Ikard & Tako Tank
Function: Space Reconnaissance
Profile: Born Ikard Oktoba Barx, he and Scuba are
cousins and friends since childhood. Ikard is like a big brother to
Scuba, and taught him the Surumerang attack that is Scuba's specialty.
Normally, he is a cool sort roaming about through space, playing a big
role in cooperation with the Cybertron forces. On the other hand, he
also has a gentle side, and is always worried for his cousin Scuba,
fighting away on planet Gaia. Ikard is quite erudite, and is also known
as a historian.

S-2 Moon
Profile: I'm Moon, a rabbit-type robot! I usually spend
my time with my partner, Artemis, on a little star orbiting above the
planet Gaia. I'll be sharing the secrets of the Beast Warriors I've
witnessed there on the TV segment "Second Bulletin," so be sure to cheer
me on!
(Oh, honestly... always stealing the spotlight! Hey, kids!
Don't forget to cheer for me, Artemis, too!)

Maximal (Cybertron) Grizzly 1 (Botcon Japan 1998 Exclusive)
Function: Berserker
Motto: "Sometimes crazy only works."
Profile: Clad in the hide of a black, wild bear,
Grizzly-1 gained fame early on in the Beast Wars, becoming a hero
regarded as a living legend. Having gone missing during a mission in the
Arctic region, he has now awakened from a long stasis lock and returned
to the lines of battle! Due to compositional flaws in his organic
structure, he secretes a toxin that induces extreme agitation and
confusion, increasing his ferocity to an astounding level, but by
switching between his mutant head, which receives the toxin and
hormones, and his rational robot head, he retains perfect control over
the wild "Barbearian" within him. In order to display his destructive
power most effectively, he commits himself to solo actions of guerrilla
warfare, demolitions and front-line combat. He fires powerful energon
bolts from his chest, while the power claw equipped on his left shoulder
can cruelly tear off an enemy's head module. He forms a team with his
robotic bat partner Nightshriek, who transforms into a sonic pistol that
can scramble an enemy's cerebro-circuitry, but Nightshriek's the first
to disappear when Grizzly-1 goes into his berserker state. He has the
makings of an excellent commander, but is blessed with few opportunities
to display his true ability there.

D-12 Megastorm
Function: Duke of Destruction
Profile: Transforms into a tank, in which form his
attacks have the highest class of destructive force of any in the story.
However, the trouble is he takes too long before he fires. His brother
Galvatron is more idealistic and fastidious... while Megastorm has that
much more of a realistic atmosphere than his elder sibling about him.
Having learned of the "Lord of Angolmois," the fearsome secret of the
planet that is the stage for their battles, his brother has become
cautious, which has led Megastorm to be disloyal and mistrustful at
times.

D-13 Starscream
Function: Aerial Commander
Profile: Small of body but great of pride, Starscream is the hulking BB's superior officer. A robot of unparalleled ambition, more even than Galvatron, he dreams of becoming leader himself. His special abilities are the formation scream and his two scream-winder missiles. He enjoys Wagner, and has even psyched himself up the composer's pieces when starting an attack.
PWR...6; INT...10; SPD...10; END...6; RNK...8; CRG...5; FPR...6; TCH...8
D-13 B.B.
Function: Bombardier
Profile: Though large of form and intimidating, such matters are betrayed by Starscream's orders, he only responds with the single word 'roger', and carries out his duties faithfully. There may be some trauma between the two. A rarity among the Destrons, he is a reliable soldier who has restrained his eccentric side. He can launch in rapid fire the scream-winder missiles, which he shares with Starscream from his BB launcher.
PWR...8; INT...4; SPD...6; END...9; RNK...5; CRG...8; FPR...9; TCH...7
D-14 Dirge
Function: Aerial Officer
Profile: A sonic soldier who glides freely through the skies. In character, he is very much the sharp straight man of a comedy duo, spouting forth veritable storms of malicious insults. He can store his weapon (Dirge Gun) in his legs, or change it to a long-barrelled form and increase its power. Surprisingly, Dirge is a gourmet, the type who fusses over the quality and cooking methods for energy.
PWR...6; INT...7; SPD...7; END...5; RNK...5; CRG...4; FPR...9; TCH...5
D-15 Thrust
Function: Aerial Officer
Profile: Despite having the personality of a comedy duo's goofy gag man, Thrust is actually the shrewdest of the Destrons. He and his buddy Dirge form a well-known combo. Like Dirge, he can store his weapon in his legs or increase its power by converting it to long-barrelled form. Thrust hates sea breezes, as they rust him, and so hates Scuba as well.
PWR...6; INT...6; SPD...6; END...6; RNK...3; CRG...4; FPR...10; TCH...5
D-16 Galvatron
Function: New Emperor of Destruction
Profile: An evil emperor who plots to rule the universe, Galvatron is ambitious, yet shows unexpected affection for his underlings. He is often put to sleep by the Cybertrons activities or Megastorm's schemes, but when he wakes, he is the mightiest being of all. Of his three forms, his dragon mode's power far surpasses that of Lio Convoy. He has a habit of talking in his sleep.

D-17 Autostinger
Function: Guard Captain
Profile: A warrior who once made his name resound throughout all of space as a mercenary, he had fought against and been beaten by the Destrons, but was saved by Galvatron before he was to be executed. Since then, he has placed all his loyalty towards serving directly under Galvatron as captain of his bodyguards. The twin homing missiles on his right arm tenaciously chase down his quarry, while the pincers on his left arm can be used as a stun gun.
PWR...9; INT...9; SPD...7; END...10; RNK...8; CRG...10; FPR...9; TCH...9
D-18 Autocrusher
Function: Land Guard
Profile: A tough sergeant with a body strengthened by bulky armour, he is forever browbeating the younger Destron members. The shovel on his chest is particularly sturdy, able to deflect all manner of attacks. His motto is, "A soldier doesn't have to think about why he fights. He just needs to win." The buzz-saw on his left arm can fell forest after forest of insect nests, while the missiles on his right arm are homing types, like Autostinger's left arm can be used as a stun gun.
PWR...9; INT...8; SPD...6; END...9; RNK...7; CRG...9; FPR...8; TCH...9
D-19 Autojetter
Function: Aerial Guard
Profile: An aerial guard, Autojetter preserves air supremacy at Galvatron's side when the latter flies in dragon mode. His personality is somewhat problematic, as he has a habit of enjoying war for his own pleasure. In machine mode, he's crashed after getting dragonflies get sucked into his intakes, and since then has had a serious hatred of insects. The triple rockets on his arms are outstandingly powerful, and can be used on both land and sea.
PWR...7; INT...7; SPD...9; END...8; RNK...6; CRG...8; FPR...9; TCH...8
D-20 Autolauncher
Function: Shock Troop Guard
Profile: An expert with a spear-gun. Quite the glory hog for a bodyguard, he will neglect Galvatron's safety to be the first into the enemy camp, which has gotten him chewed out by his captain, Autostinger. The disc launcher in his chest also has a timer function, launching discs deep into enemy bases and then exploding them. He is a rival with his fellow "discmaster" Mantis.
PWR...8; INT...8; SPD...8; END...9; RNK...6; CRG...8; FPR...9; TCH...7
D-21 God Neptune
Function: Space Pirate
Profile: The combined form of Halfshell, Scylle, Coelagon, Terrormander and Seaphantom, achieved when they call out "five-bot fusion!". Brandishing his gigantic Neptune sword God Neptune smashes all who defy him. The four members besides Halfshell form the limbs but its a lot tougher on those who become the legs, which sometimes leads to arguments, so the combination doesn't go very well. In combined form, he is a match even for Galvatron, and is an especially invincible force in the ocean.

D-22 Gigastorm
Function: Grand Duke of Destruction
Profile: This is Megastorm's new form, powered up under the influence of evil Angolmois energy. He transforms in three stages, from destroying dinosaur to monolithic base to attack fortress. His audacious offensives, making use of his tremendous power, force the Cybertrons into tight spots again and again. He is on the verge of no longer considering Galvatron his older brother, and the danger of a split in the camp now always looms large. The Gigahorn on his head is harder than diamond, and can pierce through all manner of things.

D-23 Hellscream
Function: Chief of Staff
Profile: This is Starscream's evolved form, created when he was dropped into the Angolmois energy by Gigastorm. His hatred reacted with the evil Angolmois energy. Now he is even more savage and cruel than before, attacking his opponents colourfully with such weapons as his shark-winders and Terror-storm. In fact, he is biding his time for a chance to force Gigastorm from power.

D-24 Max-B
Function: Bodyguard Captain
Profile: This is BB's evolved form, created when he was dropped into the Angolmois energy by Gigastorm and his hatred reacted with the evil Angolmois energy. His ferocity increased, he has come to enjoy acts of destruction. His multi-purpose Backstop weapon is equipped on his back, and his tail can become a weapon as well. Truly, he could be called a walking machine of destruction. His loyalty to Hellscream, however, has not changed.
PWR...9; INT...4; SPD...7; END...9; RNK...5; CRG...8; FPR...9; TCH...7
D-25 Dirgegun
Function: Aerial Captain
Profile: Powered up in all respects, Dirgegun specializes in attacks that drive computers crazy. He wields a Needle Launcher, which injects powerful computer viruses into his enemies. His Needle Shot, with its incredible rate of rapid fire, launches spears that paralyze his enemies. And his "Blast Leader" is a sonic attack that yields tremendous results. Dirgegun has sworn loyalty to Gigastorm who rebuilt him.
PWR...7; INT...7; SPD...9; END...7; RNK...5; CRG...3; FPR...7; TCH...7
D-26 Thrustor
Function: Shock Troop Commander
Profile: Powered up in all respects, Thrustor wields attack weapons special only to him. His Dinomissile is a deadly projectile that clamps onto an enemy and then explodes. His Trashhorn can freeze a dissected enemy's body. And his Raptor Shield is a deflective barrier that can rotate at high speed. He and Dirgegun have pledged full loyalty to Gigastorm, who rebuilt them.

Predacon (Destron) / Double Punch (Botcon Japan 1998 Exclusive)
Function: Killer Elite
Motto: "Assassination - that is what most dramatically changes the fate of the world."
Profile: Cunning and cynical, Double Punch is an expert in assassination and execution who has acquired numerous killing techniques. Whether robot, beast or human, all beings considered by others as important become his prey. Using a stealth mode that turns his body invisible, he silently approaches his targets and swiftly liquidates them, but by nature he prefers making a blood sacrifice of his enemy openly and in broad daylight. From his tail he injects a deadly net poison that destroys his enemy's nervous system, while from one arm he launches twin energy signature-seeking missiles. The spy drone Beeline that he launches from his other arm he uses by remote control to attack targets 100 km ahead, to search for enemies, or even to transport data-cubes, though he often also employs it to record the scenes of his own assassinations. Usually he aligns with both sides in an argument in order to advance his own position in the Predacon ranks.
