Coming in Late 2018, the final chapter of the Japanese Beast Wars saga, Beast Wars Neo, will be released by Karyuudo Fansubs with English Subtitles.
Q&A
Q: Why will this take so long to complete?
A: Like everyone else in the world, we have families, jobs and lives outside of subtitling. As with our other releases, we take our time to ensure you're receiving the best and most accurate translation possible.
Q: Don't you have a more accurate release date?
A: Unfortunately not at this time. We're projecting a late 2018 release to factor in life commitments since that usually pushes our time frame back. Any questions on "when will this be done" will be politely ignored. :)
Q: Why not release the episodes as you complete them?
A: With many series, there are themes and terms that are covered over many episodes and sometimes disappear and pop up later on. Sometimes we find ourselves going back to alter a translation to ensure the story makes sense and flows smoothly. In the end it's better to complete all the episodes and feel 100% satisfied that we're translating the dialogue as it was intended.
Q: Do you require any additional assistance in regards to grammar, timing scripts, etc?
A: Thank you, but we're covered on all areas for this project.
Q: Will you charge for this?
A: No. We do this simply because we love Transformers, and want to see this long awaited series completed.
Bonus Q&A
Q: "I guess you guys beat me to the punch! Congrats on finishing Beast Wars 2! I would like to help in ANY way to finish Beast Wars Neo if I can by contributing the first 10 subbed scripts that I have..."
A: Since August of 2016, we've seen several comments come in such as this one above where individuals are offering to help complete Beast Wars Neo. To this date, we haven't seen one person actually complete this series. We could make several assumptions, that they got busy, bored, or were simply trying to get access to our resources in order to take credit for contributing to the release in some way. Let's be honest here, if you can translate 10 episodes of a series accurately by yourself, then you can easily translate the other 25 episodes in no time without our help. :)

I love a good surprise! Thank You!!
AWESOME!! And about time, too. :D
I can't wait for this eventual release.
SO cannot wait for this long anticipated (at least by me) release.
Please take all the time you need! It's an outstanding service to the Transformers community that you create these translations at all! Thank you very, very much!!
I just want to say THANK YOU for doing this!! When the Japanese G1 series finally got an English subbed release I was elated, but the poor job by Shout Factory insured that we would never see an official release of the lesser-known Japanese Beast Wars series. Your work on Beast Wars II was superb, but Beast Wars Neo is a show I have wanted to see for nearly 20 years! It has one of the coolest leaders in Big Convoy, an awesome twist in the middle, and one of the best endings to any TF series to date. I know you will treat it with love and care, and while I'm itching for it to be released, I know the longer you take the better the product will be. Thanks again for making this Transformers fan's dream of finally seeing this show in English come true! Let's head toward the future and GO!
Out of curiosity, real-life things & other projects aside, what's the progress on BW Neo? I'm not asking about when it will be released, just wondering the 411 on progress, is all.
All the same, I'm still anxiously awaiting for your release of BW Neo.
Ok, now that it's October it is officially the beginning of Late 2018. Can't wait
Late 2018 has gone by, Here's to hoping for early to mid 2019.
Happy New Year!
