Beast Wars II
Maximals
Lio Convoy's Unit
Lio Convoy
Lio Convoy
- "To know oneself, one must first know the world."
- Expy: He looks like Optimus Prime and has the same noble and heroic traits, but he isn't the same character.
- King of Beasts: He's a huge lion — and if that doesn't scare away Predacons, his "weaponry" sure as hell will.
Lio Junior
Apache
Apache
- "Discipline and loyalty equal strength."
- Number Two: To Lio Convoy.
- Palette Swap: Averted. Apache's toy repurposed from B'Boom's, with no notable changes. In the IDW comics, artist Don Figueroa made several visual changes to Apache (including retracted shoulder cannons and lighter coloration) to distinguish the two.
Bighorn
Bighorn
- "The path to peace is littered with Predacon wreckage."
- All Girls Want Bad Boys: Inverted. He has as thing for the Predacon Seacon, Scylla.
- Palette Swap: Of Bonecrusher.
Tasmania Kid
Tasmania Kid
- "Deceive your enemy and he will be beaten before he realizes it."
Diver
Diver
- "Savour every moment for it could be your last."
- Lovable Coward: His characterisation in Beast Wars II. The Beast Wars Sourcebook, however, describes him as unflinching in the face of danger.
- Palette Swap: Of Spittor.
Scuba
Scuba
- "Watch your words carefully for they are your legacy."
- Palette Swap: Averted. Scuba's toy is largely identical to Claw Jaw's.
- Warrior Poet
Skywarp
Skywarp
- "Strength of character is the core of a warrior."
He can form up with Santon and Lio Junior to form Magnaboss.
- Palette Swap: Averted. Skywarp's toy is largely identical to Magaboss!Silverbolt's, save for the differently painted head.
Santon
Santon
"There is no better medicine than hope."
He can form up with Skywarp and Lio Junior to form Magnaboss.
- The Medic
- Palette Swap: Averted. Santon's toy is largely identical to Ironhide's, save for some additional face paint applications.
Insectrons
Bigmos
Bigmos
- "Don't do anything I wouldn't."
- Heroic Neutral
- Honour Before Reason
- Palette Swap: Of Transquito.
- What Measure Is a Non-Cute?: Inverted. His beast mode is a mosquito — and he's a Maximal.
Powerhug
Powerhug
- "The greatest loyalty is that of a master to his students."
- Artistic License – Biology: While an easy mistake; Powerhug is part of a group called the Insectrons, whereas his beast mode, a pillbug, is actually a crustacean.
- Heroic Neutral
- Palette Swap: Of Retrax.
Tonbot
Mantis
Mantis
- "Faith and the will to succeed are a winning combination."
- The Aloner: Mantis just wants to be left completely alone.
- Hair-Trigger Temper

Drill Nuts
Scissor Boy
Scissor Boy
- "Talk fast enough and no one will care what you actually say."
- Heroic Neutral
- Palette Swap: Averted. Scissor Boy's toy is largely identical to Powerpinch's. Even his Sourcebook artwork is mirrored from Powerpinch's, with his minor detailing changed.
Jointrons
DJ
DJ
- "Let's rock!"
He can form up with Motorarm and Gimlet to form Tripledacus.
- Manchild: He's the eldest of the Jointrons, but also the least mature (which, frankly, isn't saying anything).
- Palette Swap: Of Cicadacon.
- Shown Their Work: DJ turns into a cicada, and imitates some of their more unusual behavior (urinating when they fly).
Motorarm
Gimlet
Gimlet
- "In optimism we find the means to achieve victory."
- Face–Heel Turn: Gimlet was reissued as a Predacon/Destron in the Japanese Beast Wars Telemocha toy-line. The accompanying Diorama Story claims he switched sides, albeit for unspecified reasons. He remains a Maximal/Cybertron in all other adaptations.
- Palette Swap: Of Sea Clamp.
- Stepford Smiler: Implied by the Beast Wars Sourcebook.
Others
Ikard
Predacons
Galvatron
Galvatron
- Big Bad: Of Beast Wars II.
- Expy: While not as prone to bashing his own troops as his G1 namesake, he's just as crazy.
- One-Steve Limit: He's not the same Galvatron from Generation 1.
- Slasher Smile: He never stops grinning.
Megastorm/Gigastorm
Megastorm / Gigastorm
- Big Little Brother: As Gigastorm, he towers over big brother Galvatron.
- Tank Goodness: As Megastorm, he turns into a tank.
- The Dragon
- The Starscream: He only wants to overthrow Galvatron because he feels his brother is way too chaotic to be an effective leader. On several occasions, he actually tried to destroy Galvatron... it just never worked.
Combatrons
Starscream/Hellscream
Starscream / Hellscream
- Expy: Of his namesake, of course.
