Popular beast alternate modes

From Transformers Wiki

There's more of these than you'd think.

Earth is a planet literally teeming with organic life forms. Millions of genera, of all shapes and sizes, inhabit the planet, and aCybertronian might scan any of them for a potentialalternate mode. Some genera, however, are extremely popular with Cybertronians.

Transformers Wiki has certain requirements for an animal to be listed here. There must be at leastthree unique toy molds (or in-fiction appearances, in the case of non-toy bodies/characters) that share thebeast mode. There must also be at leastone unique character per mold—a single character getting numerous revamps in similar bodies over the years would not count as a "popular mode."

Each mold is listed on its own line, with all different-character decoes/retools on the same line. The list is (more or less) organized in chronological order of toy release or fictional appearance.
