It’s likely that the terms of Marvel UK’s license allowed it to continue publishing Transformers comics until the end of the year but not beyond.

Following the success of their imported version of Beast Wars, Kodansha published serialized manga in their Comic Bom Bom monthly anthology book for the Japanese sequel series Beast Wars II, Beast Wars Neo, and Beast Wars Metals (Takara's version of the latter half of Hasbro's Beast Wars franchise).
