We're back! For the very first time!

Beast Wars: Super Lifeform Transformers Again (ビーストウォーズ 超生命体トランスフォーマー アゲイン) is a TakaraTomy franchise beginning in 2023. Beast Wars Again features molds from War for Cybertron: Kingdom and Legacy redecoed to be show-accurate, and was done to tie into the appearance of Beast Wars-original characters in Rise of the Beasts.

Beast Wars Again product is sold in packs of two replicating the old "VS sets" from the original Japanese Beast Wars toyline. The retro packaging duplicating said VS sets is in turn packed in a plainer brown cardboard box and comes with a sleeve cover that has a more modern visual design with bespoke black-and-white art by brand mainstay Hidetsugu Yoshioka.
