NOTE : Each Beast could have any of four insignias: FIRE, SUNBURST, WATER,
or WOOD. The "black outline" rubsigns were eventually replaced with full-
color versions. The first wave in Japan came with Autobot/Decepticon
rubsigns, later releases replaced them with the Elemental sigils. For the
"Laser Beasts" (AKA "Shadow Warriors") the rubsigns were replaced by clear
glass spheres that revealed their insignia when held up to the light.
