Fellow Seibertronian Sabrblade has taken the time to give us some context surrounding new information about 2016 (it happened!) from Takara Tomy, via usual suspect Hisashi Yuki on Twitter. The short version is that it appears the Japanese company is indeed planning on celebrating the 20th anniversary of Beast Wars - find out more below!

TakaraTomy designer Hisashi Yuki has Tweeted a New Years photo featuring the Beast Wars Metals X-9 Metals Jaguar figure, which was a Japanese exclusive retool of Transmetal Cheetor released as Ravage back in 1999. The photo contains the message of あけましておめでとうごがいます, which seems to be a typoed form of あけましておめでとうございます, which means "Happy New Year".

But the real meat of this Tweet is the text that accompanies the photo, in which Yuki announces that TakaraTomy will be celebrating the 20th anniversary of Beast Wars with Beast Wars-related events and toys planned for release in 2016! As we've already seen previews of what the upcoming Masterpiece Convoy (Beast Wars)/Optimus Primal will look like, who knows what other new Beast Wars goodies Takara has in store for the year!

あけましておめでとうございます。
今年はBW20thイヤーのスタートです！BW関連のイベントや玩具の発売も予定されていますが、通常のTF達にも凄い展開が待っていますので、よろしくお願いしますにゃ♪
