- Stampy is a Maximal from the Beast Wars Neo section of the Beast Era.
Stampy (スタンピー, Sutanpī) is young, cute and... well, not the bravest Transformer around. In fact, he's a huge coward, which greatly frustrates his teammates. When he's not scared slagless at the thought of his next mission, this rabbit Transformer is quite cheerful and well liked, which makes others eager to help him overcome his fears.
Stampy loves his mother very much and carries her picture around with him in a locket (what a mamma's boy). His favorite food is space carrots.
Despite his youth and cowardice, he's an excellent scout. His innate speed and extremely sensitive ears make him perfect for gathering intelligence and getting the info (and himself) back to base in one piece. (The way he most definitely prefers it.)

Stampy is a part of a whole sub-race of rabbit Transformers and even has a mother. Their planet was first colonized by Tasmania Kid. All other members of Stampy's race wear clothes, but he doesn't.

Stampy was part of the coalition army that fought back the Quintesson invasion of the recently reformatted technorganic Cybertron. He and Slapper leapt onto an escaping dropship and planted bombs on it, leaping to safety before the exploded and brought the ship back down to the surface. Wreckers: Finale Part II
Later, Stampy was part of the crowd of Maximals that had gathered to welcome the returning Autobots to Cybertron. Rook all but shoved him out of the way to get close for an interview with the returning heroes. Abduction
IDW Beast Wars comics[]
Stampy is part of Lio Convoy's elite special operations unit, the Pack. He travels with them to prehistoric earth to rescue Razorbeast and co. He's very eager to get down there and try out his new rabbit beast form. This "bounding" exuberance, quite predictably, gets on Longrack's nerves. When they reach their destination and take on the Predacons, Stampy is seen to handle Manta Ray and Scavenger quite handily. The Ascending issue 2
After trouncing Spittor as well, Stampy acted as a cheerleader of sorts when the Pack joined with the other Earthbound Maximals in restraining the Angolmois-infected Razorbeast. He later eagerly asked Lio Convoy what he should do when the Pack's commander was giving out orders. Lio simply ignored him. The Ascending issue 3
When he returned to Cybertron to help battle Shokaract, his tail caught fire as he escaped from the wreckage of the Pack's downed transwarp cruiser. During the fight with Shokaract, he transformed into his Targetmaster mode and was wielded by Longrack. The Ascending issue 4

- Stampy (Basic, 1999)
- Japanese ID number: C-31

- Part of the first wave of Beast Wars Neo products in the Japanese Beast Wars toyline, Stampy is a Basic-sized figure that transforms into an organic white rabbit, seemingly designed to have his beast mode in a permanent mid-leap pose. His beast mode mouth/head halves are attached to the robot mode forearms via a screw allowing for the slightest amount of opening/closing movement in the mouth (this mouth movement can also double somewhat as his "Rabbit Claw" weapons). In robot mode, his rabbit ears become his non-removable "Ear Swords", with his fists molded to look as if they are holding them. Stampy's Maximal spark crystal is located on his chest in robot mode.
- This figure also features a third "Scissor Mode", with the Ear Swords pointing forward. When pulling back on the rabbit's tail, the scissor-blades move in and out from each other, to a pretty lame and vaguely scissor-like extent. This mode is designed to be used as a hand-held weapon by his larger comrades such as Big Convoy or Longrack—or any other figure equipped with a 5 mm port. Amusingly, the Scissor Mode gimmick gives him a "shrugging" action in robot mode.
