Hasbro has applied for a rather interesting new trademark, Beast Hunters! They've applied in two categories, entertainment services and action figures.

BEAST HUNTERS: entertainment services, namely, an on-oing animated television series for children

BEAST HUNTERS: toy action figures, toy vehicles and toy robots convertible into other visual toy forms

You may recall Beast Hunters was the original working name for Beast Machines.

From the "Fox Kids Fall Press Release" from alt.toys.transformers on February 10, 1999:

BEAST HUNTERS, the next evolution of the popular Beast Wars
franchise, continue their fight against the evil dragon Megatron and his
hordes of Predacons in 13 all-new episodes with cutting edge computer
animation, action, adventure and humor, produced by Mainframe
Entertainment.

The return of the Beast era? Speculate away!

Update: Thanks to Neo-Bombshell we have a little clarification regarding the recently Beast Hunters trademark applications. This relates to season three of Transformers Prime rather than a new series.

Hello guys, as you may know I am a very old member of this forums and member of Transformers Peru community.

I was about to post this 2 days ago but I was so busy that I got some time today and the recent news about Beast Hunters made me hurry about sharing these info.

First, of all you may be free to believe it or not. As I told you I am an old member of these forums and I have no reason to try to invent something.

Last week a good friend of mine works for an important publisher company here in Peru and he is usually invited to product presentations and of course it was Hasbro's representatives in Peru who took an afternoon to show a very interesting presentation.

He got the presentation and he was so kind to share it to me.

It is the very last picture that got my interest ad what the main expositor said: "This is the new THIRD SEASON OF TRANSFORMERS PRIME"

could be a brand new thing, or a subtitle/subline of Prime. Airachnid and the Insecticons and some newly introduced guys VS Autobots and Decepticons, forcing Prime and...well, probably not Megatron, but maybe Starscream or Dreadwing, to join their forces together to become "Beast Hunters!" Either that or maybe the Star Seekers are going to be beasts who hunt?

It's worth nothing that Beast Hunters was the preliminary name for Beast Machines.

There is only one way I can respond to this: YEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!

[BeastProwl]

Well, This is certainly something!

[It Is Him]

More likely this is the US version of Battle Beasts.

[Godzillabot Primal]

So that is what a nerdgasm feels like

Honestly not sure if want.

Do we even know if this is Transformers related? Man I would hope for a return to the Beast era, but I'm not optimistic

This series will violate something between the continuity of Beast Wars and Beast Machines. As we all know at the end of Beast Wars, Megatron was strapped to the escape ship from the ark. And at the beginning of Beast Machines Megatron has taken over Cybertron by way of virus if I remember right. Maybe this series is meant as a replacement for Beast Machine since it was so bad. Start fresh from when they get back to Cybertron and Megs escapes, keeps his Dragon form and finds his old legion and commands them again. Maybe reformats his legion into predacons? Epic.
