Beast Wars: Transformers (1996)

Beast Wars: Transformers does not feature any explicit LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on the conflict between Maximals and Predacons, with character relationships primarily centered on camaraderie, rivalry, and loyalty within their respective factions. Consequently, there is no portrayal of queer identity within the series.

The series introduces a new cast of characters, including new iterations of Optimus and Megatron, rather than gender-swapping established characters from prior Transformers canon. All characters' genders are consistent with their initial portrayal in this continuity.

The characters in "Beast Wars: Transformers" are sentient robotic lifeforms, not humans. The concept of human racial categories and therefore a "race swap" does not apply to these characters.
