Battling Toads, what's this game called?

[vash23n]

It's not Battletoads. I never had much use for PC gaming growing up because my family never had a good computer. There were two games that I was obsessed with, however, and I am trying to find them again. One was Full Throttle by Lucas Arts, which I remember being awesome. The other one is a mystery. I remember that it showed some weird factory with stuffed animals being produced and moved along on a conveyor belt. Suddenly, a battle would break out and the stuffed animal would transform into a huge creature. I remember there being a storyline involving some evil guy in a dark cape and some toads or something. So confusing, I know, and I remember the game being maddening because I could barely figure out what the hell was going on.

Any ideas?

Battle Beast?

From Wikipedia:

Battle Beast is a side-scrolling fighting game released for the PC in 1995. In the style of Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter, a player can play against another human opponent or computer-controlled opponents in different levels using hand-to-hand combat, special moves and weapons to defeat each other. A distinct feature in Battle Beast is the use of animals, which can transform into large robotic machines to battle one another. Players can select 6 different animals, which start off as cutesy-looking pets but all transform into large robots to fight, each animal has its own specific special combat techniques, weapons and attributes.

Players can fight on various different levels in the single player mode as they advance through "sewers" to reach the final boss, a large Toad (Toadman), and complete the game. There are also several mini-games mixed in between the fights such as races through mazes and secret bonus rooms to collect upgrades and weapons.

Multiplayer can be direct human to human combat, with two players battling each other on the same computer or across a LAN network or the internet. Players can also battle in a cooperative mode together, where two players can progress through the single player levels together.
