| In Japan, the ''Beast Hunters'' line was folded into the ''[[Combination Cubed: Transformers Go! (toyline)|Transformers Go!]]'' toyline, which also includes some unique toys. How this will effect the Japanese branding of the ''[[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)|Transformers: Prime]]'' animated series is unknown.
