<INTRO>
///////

So.. according to a quite a few Old-School Transformers fans that I've
talked to, Beast Wars sucked like nothing has ever sucked before.  Well, I
didn't mind it (Then again, I'm no Hardcore TF fan by any means).   I came
across this little game and thought "Hmm.. it's Beast Wars.. but it's on
the GBC and it's done by Takara"  So, after remembering that I like
Takara's "Nettou" KOF adaptations on the GameBoy, I decided to pick it up.
Happy was I, when I found out that this game rules!!


\\\\\\\
<SETUP>
///////

*SHINGURU* <Single>
The main 1-player game.  Pick your fighter and duke it out!

 - (HITORIDEASOBU) <Single Play> - 1 Player Vs CPU (Story Mode)
 - (FUTARIDETAISEN) <Two Player Battle> - 2 Player Head-to-Head Link mode.

*CHI-MU* <Team>
Pick a team of either the Cybertrons or the Deathtrons, then pick 3 members
to battle it out.

*HAYAUCHI* <Quick Draw>
 - See Quick Draw section for details

*PASUWA-DO* <Password>
Input a password to unlock various features.
As the passwords are all in Japanese, I've decided to try something a little
different.  If you point your browser to:-

http://www.galford.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/beastwars.gif

You will see the Passwords in Japanese for you to seek out and destroy. =)
I've labeled just what password relates to where on this FAQ, so there
Shouldn't be a problem finding them!

\\\\\\\\\\\\
<QUICK DRAW> (Hayauchi)
////////////

The basic premise behind the quick draw is that you pick a character and have
a 'Gunslinging Quick Draw Showdown'.  Well.. That's about all I can make out
from what I can see on it.  Pick your character and try to faze out the other
character before you take them out with one hit.

The button system is different to the main game:

D-Pad: Not used
A Button: Quick Draw (Shoot)
B Button: Taunt Enemy

If anyone happens to understand this mode, drop me a line and I'll credit you
with fame and fortune (Well, ok.. I'll TRY to anyway.. =P ).


\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
<LEGEND/SYSTEM>
///////////////

F = Forward
B = Backward
U = Up
D = Down

A = Punch
B = Kick
SELECT = Transform
AB+SELECT = Taunt
START = Pause

AB = Press buttons together
D+AB = BP Meter Charge

*BP* Meter - 
When your BP meter is full you have two options.

 - Hold AB, then press Up (When BP meter is Full) = Hyper Charge Mode.
Holding AB then pressing Up will enter you into Hyper Charge Mode.  Your
strength will increase and certain special moves will gain extentions,
usually adding a few hits here and there.

 - *SUPER Move* = D, F, D, B+B Button
Otherwise known as a (Chou Hissatsuwaza) <Super Certain Kill Technique>,
or just 'Super Moves'.  Hehe.  These attacks are extremely powerful and can
decide a round if connected.  When executed, the screen flashes with the
Characters Faction Insignia (Cyberbot or Destron) then they'll commit to the
technique.  Every character has two SUPERs, one for each transformed mode.
(Note: When your energy drops into the RED bar, then you may use as many
SUPER moves as you like.)


\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
