[[folder:Strada (ストラーダ ''sutorāda'')]]
!!Strada
[[quoteright:267:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/strada.jpg]]
!!!'''Beast Mode''': Horse
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/SatoshiTsuruoka
Captain of the Thoroughbred Corps and Mach Kick's original superior officer.

* CoolHorse: He's only seen in robot mode but clearly has a horse head on his chest.
* DeathByOriginStory: For Mach Kick, having died with the rest of his unit at the battle of the opeining of the show.
* ToylessToylineCharacter: Being both an original creation of the ''Neo'' anime and a minor character it's unlikely he'll ever get one.

[[folder:Hardhead (ハードヘッド ''hādoheddo'')]]
!!Hardhead
[[quoteright:280:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bwneo_hardhead_card_3.jpg]]
!!!'''Function''': Ground Forces Commander
!!!'''Beast Mode''': Pachycephalosaurus
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MasamiIwasaki
* AdaptationalIntelligence: IDW's comics claim he is not spectacularly dumb at all. ''Uprising'' runs with that concept for a while.
* CoDragons: IDW's comics make him one of Shockaract's heralds. Not the greatest choice ever, there.
* TheDitz: Thinking is not Hardhead's forte. At all.
* DumbMuscle: Serves this function; at least he's handy with a sword.
* HeadButtingPachy: As implied by the name, he uses his head in dinosaur mode to smash things.
* HeadSwap: Of Dinobot, in both modes.
* InformedSpecies: ''Supposedly'' turns into a Pachycephalosaurus. One that looks amazingly like a velociraptor, on account of Hardhead being a remold of Dinobot.
* TooDumbToLive: In the manga, he commits seppuku after bungling a mission, and killing Hydra by mistake.

[[folder:Killer Punch (キラーパンチ ''kirā panchi'')]]
!!Killer Punch
[[quoteright:280:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/killerpunch_tradingcard.jpg]]
!!!'''Function''': Intelligence officer
!!!'''Beast Mode''': Styracosaurus
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YasuhiroMiyata
* ConspiracyTheorist: IDW Killer Punch has apparently spent too much time on the Cybertronian internet, and his head is now full of nutball theories. Some of them could be kind of plausible... and then there's the other ones, like Ultra Magnus having been a Decepticon agent.
* EntertaininglyWrong: Despite being an intelligence officer his information is far from accurate. Example, he thought Survive and Big Convoy hated each other and tried to convince the former that the latter was spreading rumours about him. In realty, Survive and Big Convoy hold each other in high regard as teacher and student respectively and said teacher knows his former cadet well enough to immediately know that's a lie.
* HeadSwap: Of Guiledart, in both modes.
%%* TheParanoiac: His IDW and ''Beast Wars: Uprising'' versions.
* ProperlyParanoid: His ''Uprising'' version spent cycles tearing the ''Dinosaur'' apart because he thought there was a stowaway onboard, but he never found anything. Actually, Dead-End had smuggled a Sharkticon aboard, but KP didn't find this out before he died. Similarly, his paranoia means he never trusts Synapse, and allows him to broadcast proof of his murderous plot to Magmatron before he's killed.

[[folder:Dead End (デッドエンド ''deddo endo'')]]
!!Dead End
[[quoteright:285:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/deadend_bwneo_tradingcard.jpg]]
!!!'''Function''': Demolitions
!!!'''Beast Mode''': Ammonite
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/SeijiMizutani
* AxCrazy: Dead End's favorite thing in life is killing - as much as possible. Played with, in that when off the job he's not particularly violent at all. In fact, he tends to be quiet and reclusive.
* GenderFlip: In ''Beast Wars: Uprising'', Dead End is female.

!!!'''Function''': Independent Infiltrator
!!!'''Beast Mode''': Frilled-neck lizard
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KeiMajima
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: The other Predacons on Magmatron's crew can't stand him, regarding him as a sleazy low-life.
* PaletteSwap: He's a redeco of Iguanus.
* ReptilesAreAbhorrent: Turns into a frilled-neck lizard, and he's a Predacon.
* ThoseTwoGuys: The only person who can stand him is his partner Bazooka.

!!!'''Function''': Deep Sea Assault

->'''Voiced by:''' Hideki Konda
->''"Too much thinking results in too little action."''
* BloodKnight: Sharp Edge likes fighting, but is worried what he'll do in peacetime.
* ChainsawGood: ''Ascending'' depicts him as having one in his Cybertronian form.
* DidIJustSayThatOutloud?: A running gag in his spotlight episode, he's been training on his own for so long that he often speaks his mind aloud without realising it.
* HeadSwap: He's one of Cybershark, in both modes.
* ThreateningShark: He turns into a sawshark.

!!!'''Beast Modes''': Quetzalcoatlus; Gigantosaurus; Elasmosaurus; Chimera

* ArtisticLicensePaleontology: It's frequently said in his bios that he turns into three dinosaurs. Nuh-uh. One part of him turns into a dinosaur (A gigantosaurus, specifically) while the other two turn into a plesiosaur and pterodactyl, respectively. His ''Sourcebook'' profile manages to claim they "have only loose connections to actual reptilian lifeforms".

* CombiningMecha: Having a mitotic spark (being able to separate into more than one part while still being a single Transformer) means Magmatron can split himself into three beasts modes; a Quetzalcoatlus (Skysaurus), a Gigantosaurs (Landsaurus), and an Elasmosaurus (Seasaurus), respectively. All three can also combine together to form a chimera-like creature called the [[MixAndMatchCritter Magmasaurus]].

* LandSeaSky: His three beast modes, Landsaur, Seasaur and Skysaur, allow him to traverse all three environments.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/magmatronbm.jpg]]

His ''Sourcebook'' profile manages to claim they "have only loose connections to actual reptilian lifeforms".
* BenevolentBoss: He's incredibly tolerant of his troops and their antics. Unlike Megatron, he doesn't take his anger out on his troops with harsh physical abuse even when they fail to carry out his orders, as even indulges DNAVI's quirk of constantly changing her name and apologizes to "Saberback" [[note]]Actually Break in Saberback's body[[/note]] for resorting to electric torture to confirm his identity. He loses this trait after the Blentrons appear and he learns their end goal willing to sacrifice his entire unit without a hesitation.
** Meanwhile, his ''Uprising'' incarnation is such a stand-up guy Rampage likes him.
* BigBad: Of ''Anime/BeastWarsNeo''. And of IDW's comics.
* CombiningMecha: Having a mitotic spark (being able to separate into more than one part while still being a single Transformer) means Magmatron can split himself into three beasts modes; a Quetzalcoatlus (Skysaurus), a Gigantosaurs (Landsaurus), and an Elasmosaurus (Seasaurus), respectively. All three can also combine together to form a chimera-like creature called the [[MixAndMatchCritter Magmasaurus]].
* CoolSword: It looks like it's made out of bone.
* HeelFaceTurn: Turns up in the ''Beast Machines'' toyline as a member of the Dinobots.
* LandSeaSky: His three beast modes, Landsaur, Seasaur and Skysaur, allow him to traverse all three environments.
* NeverFoundTheBody: ''Wreckers'' Magmatron disappeared, last being seen holding off the Dweller. By the time the other Dinobots got back, all they found was his sword...
* OmnicidalManiac: His manga iteration just wanted to kill every living thing he found.
* PerpetualSmiler: In ''Anime/BeastWarsNeo'', just like his predecessor Galvatron.
* VillainRespect: He states that Razorbeast deserves a hero's memorial for his actions at the end of the ''Ascending'' comic.

[[folder:Guiledart (ガイルダート ''gairudāto'')]]
!!Guiledart
!!!'''Function''': Staff Officer
!!!'''Beast Mode''': Triceratops
[[quoteright:340:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/guiledartmodel.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/HollyKaneko
* BadassBandolier: Has a design that looks like one on his chest.
* TheDragon: To Magmatron.
* FakingTheDead: His third mode is basically him pretending to be a decaying carcass complete with exposed ribs.
* MightyGlacier: As might be expected of a Triceratops, he's pretty slow but amazingly tough.
* OnlySaneMan: Of the Dinosaur crew during the Unicron arc, Magmatron had become obsessed with preventing the monster planet's resurrection and the rest of the crew wanted to join forces with latter to survive. He was the only one who realised how badly both lines of thinking were which led him to foiling his teammate's attempts and letting the Maximals face Unicron on Cybertron.
* TemperCeratops: Turns into one, but he's fairly mellow himself.
* UndyingLoyalty: His depiction in ''Anime/BeastWarsNeo'' at least until Magmatron's obession began clouding his judgement. His IDW profile portrays him as [[TheStarscream the exact]] [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder opposite]].
* VillainRespect: Saluted the Gung-Ho as it left for Cybertron for the final battle with Unicron.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KazukiYao
* DirtyCoward: There's a reason he likes mussing with magic, and it's so he doesn't have to fight folk up front.
* FakeWizardry: He claims to be capable of performing acts of magic, though no one believes him. Amusingly, a mistranslation in an early fan sub took his claims literally and this influenced some official western media's depictions of him.
* {{Planimal}}: His trap mode.
* SkeletonsInTheCoatCloset: Has a cow skull like decoration on his robot mode's chest.
* ToughArmoredDinosaur: A ''Stegosaurus'', for him.

* DumbMuscle: Sling actually is as stupid as he looks.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: His fellow Predacons hate him. Really, ''really'' hate him.
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: His "Sling Shield".
* {{Planimal}}: His trap mode.

* SpikeShooter: Poison Arrow.
* ViewerNameConfusion: For years, fans had assumed that his name was romanized as "Rartorata", and this spelling would be used in his appearance in IDW's comics.

* CombiningMecha: Having a mitotic spark (being able to separate into more than one part while still being a single Transformer) means Magmatron can split himself into three beasts modes; a Quetzalcoatlus (Skysaurus), a Gigantosaurs (Landsaurus), and an Elasmosaurus (Seasaurus), respectively. All three can also combine together to form a chimera-like creature called the [[MixAndMatchCritter Magmasaurus]].
* CoolSword: It looks like it's made out of bone.
* HeelFaceTurn: Turns up in the ''Beast Machines'' toyline as a member of the Dinobots.
* LandSeaSky: His three beast modes, Landsaur, Seasaur and Skysaur, allow him to traverse all three environments.
* NeverFoundTheBody: ''Wreckers'' Magmatron disappeared, last being seen holding off the Dweller. By the time the other Dinobots got back, all they found was his sword...
* OmnicidalManiac: His manga iteration just wanted to kill every living thing he found.
* PerpetualSmiler: In ''Anime/BeastWarsNeo'', just like his predecessor Galvatron.
* VillainRespect: He states that Razorbeast deserves a hero's memorial for his actions at the end of the ''Ascending'' comic.

* HealingFactor: No matter what the Maximals and Predacons do to them, they heal in a matter of seconds.
* MixAndMatchCritters: All three of them are a fusion of two beasts in one.
** Ratorata: A lionfish with the enlarged body of a hornet
** Elphaorpha: The body and tusks of an elephant with the head, fin, and tail of an orca.

* GiantFlier: One of the distinctions IDW makes between him and Injector is that Rary is ''much'' bigger.
* {{Gonk}}: Injector wasn't exactly pretty looking himself, but the IDW comics manage to go the extra mile and make Rary even more unsightly to look at once he gets his beast mode.
* MixAndMatchCritter: Part-lionfish, part-bee, all ugly as sin.
* PaletteSwap: Just barely one for Injector. Lampshaded in IDW's comics when the Predacons notice this.
* ReforgedIntoAMinion: Averted, unlike his teammates, Latolata was a Unicron cultist who joined of his own free will.
* SpikeShooter: Poison Arrow.
* ViewerNameConfusion: For years, fans had assumed that his name was romanized as "Rartorata", and this spelling would be used in his appearance in IDW's comics. However, his toy's bio specifies the lionfish half of his design to be based on the Luna lionfish, whose scientific name is ''Pterois lunulata", which is most likely the intended romanization.

* TalkingAnimals: Like most series under the ''Beast Wars'' lineage, and particularly similar to its predecessor ''Anime/BeastWarsII'', the show features characters who transform into cartoonish and very expressive animals, which exhibit a much wider range of facial emotions than their robot modes. The Maximals in particular tend to spend most of their time in beast mode, presumably due to the aforementioned expression range, with the exception of Big Convoy whom rarely transforms. The Predacons meanwhile, despite possessing dinosaur-modeled beast modes, rarely transform into them, though there are one-off exceptions from time to time.
