For the Beast Hunters subline imprint of the Transformers: Prime toyline, Hasbro drastically reduced the length of on-package bios, and instead included short prose paragraphs titled Tales of the Beast Hunters on the instruction sheet for each Deluxe and Voyager Class toy. Whilst written to provide some exposition regarding the appropriate character, in the manner of a traditional bio, these short pieces also form an overarching narrative, in a similar way to the box-back fiction for Takara's Transformers United EX line.

Continuity

Tales of the Beast Hunters appears to take place in a micro-continuity in which the climatic events of Transformers: Prime's second season unfolded noticeably differently. For instance, although reference is made to the Iacon relics that were the focus of much of that season, Dreadwing still lives and the Autobot base is seemingly intact. Additionally, the GroundBridge is incapable of spanning stellar distances, the Jackhammer is not wrecked, and Shockwave's Predacon cloning facility is implied to be located on Earth rather than Cybertron.
