Beast Wars II (sometimes "Beast Wars the Second") was the first Japanese-only Beast Wars franchise, consisting of the following components:
- A toyline.
- A manga series.
- A television series.
- A theatrical-release movie, Beast Wars Special.
The BW2 toyline consisted almost entirely of redecoes of Generation 2, Machine Wars, and American BW toys, although all new molds were created for the two faction leaders: Lio Convoy, a white lion, and Galvatron, a purple dragon. Most of the Destrons are mechanical while the Cybertrons all have beast modes.
The cartoon series aired in Japan between season one of Beast Wars and seasons two and three, in order to fill the gap until the later seasons could be dubbed into Japanese. The Cybertron team starts off with Lio Convoy, Apache, Bighorn, Tasmania Kid, Scuba, and Diver. The Destron (Predacon) side starts off with Galvatron, Megastorm, Starscream, BB, Dirge, and Thrust.
Beast Wars Special, the BW2 movie, consisted of three segments, only one of which contained new animation:
- A condensed recap of Beast Wars season 1.
- "Lio Convoy in Imminent Danger!", a new cel-animated story where Optimus Primal (known in Japan as Convoy) visits the BW2 universe.
- The BW episode, "Bad Spark". Because season two of BW had not aired in Japan yet, the episode begins with a recap of season two up to the point of that episode, in order to explain how they got there from the end of season one.
