Super Lifeform Transformers: Beast Wars Metals (超生命体トランスフォーマー ビーストウォーズメタルス Chō Seimeitai Transformer Beast Wars Metals) is a manga written and drawn by Shōji Imaki. It was published in Comic Bom Bom from October 1999 through March 2000, running simultaneously with the Japanese release of the second and third seasons of the Beast Wars TV series. It is noted for its radical redesign of many of the characters. It follows the Beast Wars II and Beast Wars Neo manga series and does not fit in with any part of the cartoon's continuity.

Fifteen freakin' years later, the series was finally collected in an e-book by publisher Hero-X. Why it wasn't initially collected like the previous Beast Wars manga series by Imaki, who knows. Better late than never, though.
A physical release of the collection followed in July 2016, published by Fukkan.com in conjunction with the Beast Wars 20th anniversary. All customers who pre-ordered the book got a bonus postcard with art from the comic, and 30 lucky souls got a copy with an autograph by Imaki.
