- Stag Hunter (Beastformer Head Hunter Vehicle, 1987)
- Released in the Takara Transformers-less Beastformers sequel series, the Stag Hunter is a large green robotic stag-head "chariot" with a pull-back motor: pulling back and releasing the vehicle sends it rolling forward, with the lower jaw rapidly moving up and down. The back end pulls out to allow a Beastformer or Laser Beast figure into the control section, pushing back to "lock" them in. Each side of the control station features a pair of swing-up gray bars, used to secure other Beastformer figures by slipping under their arms.
- This Head Hunter vehicle came with Bombsheep as a pack-in pilot, unchanged from his prior releases. While late-series runs of the individually-sold Beastformers could have full-color Fire/Water/Wood rubsigns, it is unknown if the box set toys could have them.
- What was not packed in with the Head Hunters was a collector's card for the vehicle, slightly unusual since the larger Battle Bases got cards.
- The Stag Hunter's horns and (non-spinning) drills are made with a soft plastic that can get a little gross with age, as the plasticizer slowly seeps out, similar to what happens to the Pretender Monster and Dinoforce shells.
