Help me remember a game from my past.

So I am trying to figure out this game I played as a kid. It was for the PC. It was like a 2D fighting game. You played as animals that transformed into bigger cooler versions of themselves during the fight. The art style was like a cartoon. Does this ring a bell for anyone?

Transformers?
 
cheetah-men?

Just Paws of Fury, but I can't remember them transforming.  

Edit: try the sequel, Above the Claw.

Naw these were like cartoon robots. It is hard for me to remember the name, I was real young.

Perhaps Bloody Roar? I had that on the PS1 but it might have come out on PC

Do you know what console the game was on?
 
Edit: Wow, fuck me. I read the op, but just not well-enough apparently.

Rings a bell, no idea on the name.

Sorry, no idea, i was an N64 guy.

Oooh Battle Beast? 
 
Edit: Wiki'd it, pretty sure that's what you're looking for.

Man that Battle Beast game was horrible.
