Although '''hunting''' is a legitimate way to put food on the table, this seems to be rare compared to hunting as a recreational activity or a sport. Some hunters, be they human or [[Transformer]], prefer the direct hunt while others favor the art of trapping. On [[Earth]], a wide variety of animals is good for hunting, while on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] the range of [[mechanimal]]s hunted appears to be limited to [[turbofox]]es, [[cyber-duck]]s, and [[dynametal duck]]s. At times, a hunter might desire prey that is more prestigious than an animal but not as illegal as one of their own kind, and that's when it's convenient if there are [[alien]]s around.

Despite that there's a comparable chance of something ending up dead between hunting and [[fishing]], fishing is much more likely to be picked up by people with morals.

==Fiction==
===Generation 1===
====Generation 1 toy bios====
[[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]] was known to hunt [[turbofox]]es with [[Mirage's friends|his friends]] before the war broke out. This was apparently an activity enjoyed only by the wealthy of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. {{storylink|Mirage (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Mirage's ''The Transformers'' toy bio}}

[[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Starscream]] compared a clear shot at some Autobots to "shooting [[dynametal duck]]s in a beryllium barrel." {{storylink|The Core}}

Lord [[Chumley]] was a big game hunter whose success at killing many an exotic animal made him grow bored, prompting him to go after sapient prey. Still decent enough not to go after [[human]]s, he did go after manned army equipment as if he was dealing with animals and after some notable successes he set his sights on [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]]. To this end, he and his valet [[Dinsmore]] first abducted [[Tracks (G1)|Tracks]], [[Bumblebee (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Bumblebee]], [[Jazz (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Jazz]], [[Beachcomber (G1)|Beachcomber]], [[Grapple (G1)|Grapple]], [[Blaster (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Blaster]], and [[Inferno (G1)|Inferno]] using highly elaborate and undoubtedly expensive traps. Chumley subsequently used them as bait to make Optimus walk into more traps, but altough he did unintentionally capture [[Blitzwing (G1)|Blitzwing]] and [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]] with them, through luck and skill, Optimus survived all traps, freed his men, and handed over Chumley to the authorities. {{storylink|Prime Target (G1)|Prime Target}}

The [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] wanted to go hunting but they didn't want [[Grimlock (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Grimlock]] to come with them. They told him so. {{storylink|Grimlock's New Brain}}

[[Sixshot (G1)|Sixshot]] compared shooting the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]] to "shooting [[cyber-duck]]s in a barrel." {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 1}}

====''Super-God Masterforce'' cartoon====
The [[Decepticon]] [[Headmaster Junior]]s were ordered to look for any [[Godmaster (lifeform)|Godmasters]] in the Canadian [[Rocky Mountains]], but didn't much feel like doing that. [[Bullhorn (G1)|Bullhorn]] proposed that they'd go hunting and have a barbece and that was accepted with cheers by the other two. {{storylink|An Enemy? The Third Godmaster, Ranger}}

====Marvel ''The Transformers'' comics====
[[File:King Con! hunting group.jpg|right|upright=1.2|thumb|]]
The hunters [[Gus (hunter)|Gus]], [[Juan (hunter)|Juan]], and [[Morrie]] had spotted a [[Pretender|large creature]] in the [[New Jersey (Earth)|New Jersey]] meadowlands, but the police refused to do anything with their information. As such, the three decided to enter the swamps themselves and kill or capture the creature before it would reach populated areas. Gus had some misgivings about the operation, mainly because hunting in the swamps was illegal, but before he could convince the others to go home, [[Lady|their dog]] found something: [[Iguanus (G1)|Iguanus]]. The hunters fired at the creature, but the bullets just bounced off. It only took a salvo from Iguanus's [[hurricane air blaster]] more before they made a run for it. {{storylink|King Con!}}

===Movie continuity===
====Movie toy bios====
[[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]] had a reputation for being an expert shot and frequently hunted [[turbofox]]es. {{storylink|Arcee (Movie)|Arcee's 2007 toy bio}}

====''Web of Deception''====
[[Lockdown (Animated)|Lockdown]] received a generous offer from a safari hunter in the [[Kvi Cluster]] for both the [[technorganic|techno-organic]] and the [[Archa Seven arachnid]] which formed part of a plan by [[Blackarachnia (Animated)|Blackarachnia]]. Lockdown therefore abducted her; whether Blackarachnia ended up in the safari hunter's hands and what that meant for her is uncertain. {{storylink|Web of Deception}}

[[File:EnemyOfMyEnemy Chumley introduces himself.jpg||ight|upright=1.4|thumb|]]
The brothers [[Thurston Chumley|Thurston]] and [[Quint Quarry]] grew estranged due to a disagreement over their big game hunting methods and became rivals who went as far as stealing each other's technology. {{storylink|Enemy of My Enemy (RB)|Enemy of My Enemy}}

After [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] became feral as a result of scanning a [[dinosaur (dinosaur)|dinosaur]] [[alternate mode]], Quarry saw [[Huxley Prescott]]'s broadcast of Optimus's downtown rampage. Recognizing a new thrill, Quarry used his heli-jet to abduct the "dinobot" to [[Quarry Safariland]]. Although once he arrived he discovered that [[Cody Burns]] had stowed away, the boy's presence did not deter him from proceeding with the hunt he craved. As Quarry went about things, [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]], [[Blades (RB)|Blades]], and [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] reached the island in search of Optimus. Quarry captured the team using a combination of [[Q-Drone]]s and hidden traps and momentarily paused his hunt on Optimus to take the three to his compound. This gave [[Boulder (RB)|Boulder]] and [[Graham Burns|Graham]] the time to arrive with an [[Energon patch]] for Optimus and this effectively ended Quarry's hunt. Back at his compound, Quarry tried to make off in his heli-jet with his three captives but Optimus and Boulder arrested him in time. {{storylink|Big Game}}

With the use of Q-Drones, Thurston stole a [[Whiskers|lion]] from [[Griffin Rock Zoo]], so the Rescue Team contacted Quint in jail to figure out what to do. He advised them to set a trap using a rare animal if they wanted to find Thurston, because like him he wouldn't resist such quarry. It was agreed that the [[Rescue Bot]]s' dino modes would be this bait and that they would wait for Thurston inside the zoo. As predicted, the Q-Drones infiltrated the facility but by releasing the zoo's animals as a distraction the Q-Drones negated all precautions the Rescue Team had taken and the Rescue Bots were carried off in a waiting heli-jet. The "dinobots" were taken to a ship where Thurston held a huge menagerie of trophy animals, many rare species and even some thought extinct, all kept in stasis. Thurston overplayed his hand when he released the Rescue Bots to prepare them for display because they made a run for it. As each tried to find an exit separately, they encountered many traps, but they countered the hunter with his own strategy of releasing all the animals. The creatures cornered Thurston, so he trapped himself in one of his own stasis pods to avoid worse. As the Rescue Team prepared to repurpose Quarry Safariland as a preserve for the recovered animals, Cody received a call from Quint, who had broken out and who declared that he'd steer clear from the Rescue Bots from now on. {{storylink|Enemy of My Enemy (RB)|Enemy of My Enemy}}

====2015 ''Robots in Disguise'' cartoon====
[[Fixit (RID)|Fixit]] reported that two Cybertronian ships had landed in the forest west of [[Crown City]] nearby a hunting lodge. Worried about the possibility of encountering any [[human]]s at the lodge, only [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] [[Strongarm (RID)|Strongarm]], [[Sideswipe (RID 2015)|Sideswipe]] and [[Denny Clay|Denny]] went to investigate. However, the place was deserted, prompting Denny to remark that perhaps it wasn't hunting season. {{storylink|Hunting Season}}

==Notes==
*In the revised series bible of the unproduced [[The Transformers (CBS pitch)|CBS series]], an example of [[Trailbreaker (G1)|Trailbreaker]]'s sense of humor is given when he responds to the arrival of flying Decepticons with "Looks like droid-duck season has just opened."
