Beast Wars II (pronounced "Beast Wars Second") was the first Japanese-only Beast Wars franchise, consisting of the following components: * A toyline. * A manga series. * An anime series. * A theatrical-release movie, Beast Wars Special. * A (mostly unseen) backstory for the IDW Beast Wars comics. * Sausage. Years later, IDW worked the characters from Beast Wars II and at least some version of the events of the anime into their Beast Wars comic continuity.
