. . . Who are the show characters in Beast Wars? Many toys were made for non-show characters so I\'m a bit confused. And who got the transmetal treatment in the show? Thanks. . . .
Season 1: Optimus Primal Rhinox Cheetor Rattrap Dinobot Tigatron Airrazor Megatron Scorponok Terrorsaur Waspinator Tarantulas Blackarachnia Inferno Season 2 Transmetal Optimus Primal TM Cheetor TM Rattrap Rhinox Dinobot Tigatron Airrazor Silverbolt (Fuzor not Magnaboss version) TM Megatron TM Tarantulas Waspinator Blackarachnia Inferno Quickstrike Rampage Non-aligned / others Transmutate (issued as a build-a-figure across the first and second lines of last year's Beast Wars reissues) Ravage (only released in Japan, when he was a factionless "X" release, though in fact he's a Decepticon turned Predacon) Tripredacus (only seen briefly, they do not really resemble the toys at all) Season 3 "Optimal" Optimus TM Rattrap TM2 Cheetor Rhinox Silverbolt Depth Charge Blackarachnia (initially in her original form, later as a TM2) Tigerhawk TM Megatron (later becomes a TM2) Waspinator TM Tarantulas Inferno Rampage Quickstrike TM2 Dinobot Beast Machines Optimus Primal Rattrap Cheetor Blackarachnia Nightscream Noble / Savage (sold as Beast Changer) Silverbolt (season 2 only) Botanica (season 2 only, no toy was ever made) Megatron (two versions, cloaked in season 1, giant fortress in season 2, which was partially represented by the Megabolt Megatron toy) Tankorr (season 1 only) Thrust Jetstorm (season 1 only) Obsidean (season 2 only) Strika (season 2 only) Optimal Megatron (no toy released, included here for completeness)
That's just for the US BW series. BWII and BWNeo in Japan also used some of the figures that were released in the BW line, as well as some original ones of their own that weren't released here.
