Beast Wars Transformers have been with us since 1996, and Beast Machines have been with us since 1999, bringing much pleasure to both children and collectors alike. Many of these toys are now being traded on the secondary market, and it has become useful to be able to identify what normally-removable accessories, if any, came with these toys. It is also easy to sometimes simply forget what goes with what, as unlike Generation 1 TFs, the image and quantity of each accessory is not provided on the instructions for each toy. This guide is presented to assist people to these ends. It includes all US and UK retail-released toys (i.e. not convention exclusives), with their English-language names. Toys that have accessory scans are orange, toys which came with no normally-removable accessories are brown. I would like to thank the following contributors to the site; without their effort the site would be a shadow of what it is. The coloured initials next to each contributor are stamped on each of their contributions. While some of their original contributions may have since been substituted for better-quality scans from my own ever-increasing collection, I am no less grateful for their efforts:

Disclaimer
Given the release of these two toys, I was faced with a minor quandary: do they belong in this resource or not? After some consideration (not that much; it's hardly worth losing sleep over) I have decided not to include the accessories for these two toys in this resource. Despite being Beast Machines moulds of Beast Machines characters, they were ultimately released as Robots in Disguise toys under that brand, and therefore fall into the territory of someone who wants to do a RiD parts guide. This resource is my contribution to Transfandom, as is. Other Useful Links Rework's
Parts Identification Aid - the
premier site for identifying parts and accessories for Generation 1 Transformers. I welcome contributions of scans that are substantial improvements on exisiting scans. Please provide them in good quality (70-80%) JPEG format, scanned at 120% and screen resolution (72 dpi or 29 dpc). If a toy has a number of accessories that are identical, please scan only one of them, and alert me in the accompanying e-mail to how many of that accessory there are in total; I will add this figure to the image before putting it online.
In examples where a toy has two accessories that are virtually
identical, but are for example, mirror images of each other (e.g. BW Silverbolt's
clubs, Waspinator's missiles, etc.), please scan both of them. Full credit
for submissions will be given.
