#REDIRECT[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)#Beast Hunters (2013)]]
'''Beast Hunters''' is the [[subline imprint]] for the second phase of the [[Transformers: Prime (franchise)|Prime]] franchise, also extending into the [[Kre-O]] franchise.
 
This change was made to reflect the theme of the third season of the [[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)|cartoon]], in which the [[Autobot]]s contend with not just [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]]'s [[Decepticon]]s, but also with the [[Predacon (Prime)|Predacon]]s.
 
The toys sold under this banner transform into dragons (for Predacons), spiky, over-weaponized vehicles reminiscent of ''{{w|Mad Max}}'' (for Autobots), or vehicles with beastly traits (for Decepticons).
 
There ''may'' be some sort of video game to go with the franchise. <ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-prime-39/transformers-prime-beast-hunters-video-game-trademark-revealed-176549/ Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Video Game Trademark Revealed]</ref>
 
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 affect the Japanese branding of the ''[[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)|Transformers: Prime]]'' animated series is unknown.
 
==Toys==
For this subline, on-package [[bio]]s were reduced in length to just a sentence or two, and the [[Instructions|instruction sheets]] instead feature facts about one of the figure's main weapons, as well as a chapter of the ''[[Tales of the Beast Hunters]]'' prose story, each of which focuses on the appropriate character in addition to continuing an ongoing story.
