Beast Hunters (toyline)
Beast Hunters is the subline imprint for the second phase of the Prime franchise, also extending into the Kre-O franchise.
This change was made to reflect the theme of the third season of the cartoon, in which the Autobots contend with not just Megatron's Decepticons, but also with some... beast... things?
The toys sold under this banner transform into animals or pointy bricks with wheels.
There may be some sort of video game to go with the franchise. [1]

For this subline, on-package bios were reduced in length to just a sentence or two, and instead instruction sheets feature facts about the figure's weapon, and 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.
