I am well-aware of the connection between Battle Beasts and Transformers.
It was only a TF spin-off in Japan. In the US, it was marketed as a completely separate toy line. Foster and I were discussing the possibility that the designers of the TF Decepticon Pretenders and the Beastformers were the same people. The designers at Takara were/are known for working on multiple lines and IPs at a time, unlike Hasbro's structure where each IP has its own team of designers (which is why Crossovers are designed by Hasbro, not Takara/Tomy).

Maybe this will shed some light on the whole issue.
What Battle Beasts Rights Does Diamond Select Have? : Poe Ghostal's Points of Articulation It was rumored Diamond Select Toys only had the trademark on the brand name, not the creature designs (or the rub-sign feature) That still belongs to takara who are remaking the battle beast/beastformers

Too bad that's all still just speculation. DST is keeping pretty tight-lipped on the whole issue. Honestly, if at all possible I'd like to see DST and Takara/Tomy team up for a new Battle Beasts line in the US. But most likely, if Takara/Tomy wanted to bring Battle Beasts to the US, they would probably want to partner with Hasbro instead of DST.
