'''''Transform Jr'''''—originally called '''''Transform Gōkin''''' (トランスフォーム合金, "'''Transform Alloy'''")—is a Japanese-exclusive toyline that featured smaller versions of toys from the [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] era. (The "'''Transform Block'''" [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]] toy, while technically not in the same line, did come in the same TF style packaging and is approximately the same size as the ''Jr'' toys.) They were released by a subsidiary of Takara called "[[Seven]]". These toys transform similarly to their larger counterparts but many leave out more complicated transformation steps, like Star Saber's Brainmaster gimmick, Ultra Magnus combining with a trailer, or Metroplex and Trypticon transforming into a third mode. Thick, folded paper was frequently used to substitute for missing accessories, such as Rodimus's, Optimus's, and Ultra Magnus's trailers, and Star Saber's nose cone.
