[[Image:Snarladjustscrown.jpg‎|right|thumb|200|The Dinobot Crown of Leadership needs adjusting.]]

The '''Dinobot Crown of Leadership''' is a crown sometimes worn by [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]], apparently to signify his leadership of the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]], or even the Autobots as a whole. It is gold and quite spiky and has a tendency to list to the left on Grimlock's head if the other Dinobots (we're looking at you [[Snarl (G1)|Snarl]]) aren't properly vigilant.

Grimlock has what appears to be the Dinobot Crown of Leadership made for him just after he succeeds [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] as Leader of the [[Autobots]] on [[Earth]]. {{storylink|Mechanical Difficulties!}} He tends to wear it fairly religiously during his pompus, tyrannical reign. It is last seen just before his duel with Blaster on the moon that would signal the end of Grimlock's time as leader. {{storylink|Totaled!}}

*'''King Grimlock''' (2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MP-8X'''
**''Accessories:'' Energo sword, twin 'stunner' lasers rifle, crown

:King Grimlock is a redeco of the ''Masterpiece'' Grimlock with a color scheme based on his appearance in the comic book series ''[[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|The Transformers]]'' published by [[Marvel Comics]]. All of his previously flat gray surfaces are coated in silver paint, his gold chrome is more vibrant, and his previously black plastic is now a dark blue in reference to the limited color palette of the Marvel Comics issues. The colorless chrome used for his tail and arms is now a light blue chrome. He also features some different paint applications: on his dinosaur chest, inside the clear panel on his robot mode chest, and on his robot mode knees. His toes are now metallic yellow instead of metallic gray. He lacks the faceplate paint of the original Masterpiece Grimlock. His sword is also tinted orange rather than neutral clear, and the clear panel on his chest is clear dark green plastic instead of neutral clear. Curiously what were the red eyes in dinosaur mode on the original Masterpiece Grimlock are now the blue eyes on King Grimlock, and the blue eyes are now the red. The product also features the crown worn by Grimlock in the comics instead of the accessories from the cartoon, such as the waiter apron or the glasses. The [[package art]] is drawn in an homage to the early style of ''The Transformers'' published by Marvel Comics, as well as a bilingual [[Transformers_Universe_(Marvel_comic)|Transformers: Universe]] style [[bio]] on the back of the package.

:King Grimlock was only available via [[Toy Hobby Market]], the official shopping site of TakaraTomy. Pre-orders were open through [[July 31]] to [[September 11]], 2009, with the toy shipping out in December.

Design change

2011-04-17T15:47:29Z

173.65.171.41: /* Assembly */

[[Image:Leobreakerearly.jpg|right|260px|thumb|The budget department. Ruining Transformers toys FOREVER since [[1984]].]]
A '''design change''' is a modification to a [[toy]]'s design prior to the sculpt's initial release. The changes can affect the sculpting of parts, the [[transformation]] mechanisms, the [[articulation]], the [[gimmick]]s and even the assembly of individual parts.

The reasons for those changes are multifold: Sometimes the original design would have just used up more budget than [[Hasbro]] was willing to spend on the price point, so some elements (such as gimmicks) had to be gutted. Sometimes the toy is based on a third-party design (most prominently in the case of the [[live-action film series]]), and when the original design is changed, the toy's design has to follow suit. Sometimes the toy's [[alternate mode]] is based on an existing design, and Hasbro decides to modify it in order to avoid legal trouble with the vehicle's manufacturer. And sometimes things have to be redesigned [[for safety reasons]] or to fix [[design flaw]]s.

Design changes can be discovered by comparing a toy to the [[stock photography|stock photos]] on its packaging which use earlier [[prototype]]s. A toy's 2D designs are also a possible reference, since [[control drawing]]s are occasionally published in various Japanese guide books or other supplementary material. The [[instructions]] sometimes also reveal design changes, as do prototypes that are revealed to the public through unofficial venues.

Design changes are not to be confused with [[misassembly|misassemblies]]. Misassemblies are errors that occur on a factory level and are contrary to the intentions of the designers. Design changes are intentional decisions, often compromises, that occur on a design level. Design changes are also not to be confused with [[retool]]s: Although retools are ''effectively'' design changes, they don't occur until after the initial version of the sculpt has been released. For the purpose of this article, design changes only refer to modifications that occur before the first release of a sculpt.

==Sculpting (aesthetic)==
[[Image:CYB sonic bomber originalsculpt.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Hey, what happened to my nose?]]
[[Image:MovieMegatronStarscreamProtoHeads.jpg|right|150px|thumb|"Megatron, is that you?" "Starscream? What happened to you?"]]
*''[[Armada (toyline)|Armada]]'' [[Hot Shot (Armada)/toys|Hot Shot]] had a hardcopy ("gray model") [[prototype]] depicted in Japanese magazines that was abandoned in favor of an entirely new sculpt for the final toy.
*''[[Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' [[Prowl (Energon)|Prowl's]] [[instructions]] feature a head that is almost entirely different from the final sculpt, except for the tailpipes. It bears a striking resemblance to ''[[Armada (toyline)|Armada]]'' [[Blurr (Armada)|Blurr]]. This same head design was shown in a magazine preview for the Japanese version of the [[Energon (cartoon)|''Energon'' cartoon]].
*Stolen test shots of various early ''[[Alternators]]'' toys and designs depicted in the Japanese ''[[The Transformers: Binaltech & TF Collection Complete Guide]]'' book sported markings of real-life brands on their tires, such as "Bridgestone", "Michelin" or "Goodyear" for [[Smokescreen (G1)#Alternators|Smokescreen]], [[Sideswipe (G1)#Alternators|Side Swipe]], [[Jazz (G1)/toys#Alternators|Meister]] and [[Tracks (G1)#Alteatros|Tracks]]. The final toys either replaced those markings with the fictious brand [[Cybertronian Radial]], or sported no brand markings on their tires at all.
*''[[Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' [[Wing Saber (Energon)|Wing Saber's]] original gray model prototype featured a different [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]] nosecone design than seen on the final toy. As revealed by the Japanese online retailer [http://www.amenbo.com Amenbo.com] on April 29 2005, the original sculpt had a much greater resemblance to the A-10 Thunderbolt, with a rounded nose cone, a correctly shaped (translucent) canopy, and twin translucent gatling cannons. It's possible that the change from this more realistic sculpt to the entirely opaque one seen on the final toy occurred in order to avoid licensing issues.
*''[[Movie (toyline)|Movie]]'' Leader Class [[Megatron (Movie)/toys|Megatron]] and Deluxe Class "Preview" [[Starscream (Movie)/toys|Starscream]] both had their head sculpts redesigned to reflect changes in the [[Transformers (2007)|movie]] designs. The original head sculpts are used by the [[stock photography|stock photos]] on the back of their packaging.
*A stolen prototype of ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' [[Robot Powered Machines|R.P.M.]] [[Sideswipe (ROTF)|Sideswipe]] that surfaced in 2008<ref name="sideswipe">[http://jalopnik.com/5047177/leaked-transformers-corvette-centennial-concept-toy-possibly-reveals-robot-mode Mirrored photos of early R.P.M. Sideswipe toy at Jalopnik.com]</ref> was pretty accurate to the Corvette Stingray car from the [[Revenge of the Fallen (film)|movie]], but the actual RPM Sideswipe toy has been severely altered and looks more like an Aston Martin. Unfortunately, Mattel was able to secure exclusive rights for releasing a Concept Stingray model car at a 1:64 scale for their ''Hot Wheels'' line (the toy was released as part of the "2010 New Models" lineup).
{{-}}

==Mechanisms==
[[Image:Astrotraincatalog.jpg|thumb|150px|right|What could have been.]]
*''[[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]]'' [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain's]] original prototype featured a sliding mechanism to extend his arms, which was neutered for the final toy. The arms were still cast in multiple parts, and they ''look'' like they could still be extended... but they can't.<ref name="astro">[http://www.tf-1.com/articles/reissue/Animeastro_template.html G1 Astrotrain's original prototype] at TF-1.com</ref>
*''Generation 1'' [[Octane]] has a blocked-off internal mechanism which would have been used to make his torso slide to become more proportional.<ref name="octane">[http://www.ntfa.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=2234&mode=threaded&pid=36400 "The many secrets of Octane... Now with pictures!" on NTFA forums]</ref>
*''[[Beast Wars (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' [[Jawbreaker]]'s hyena jaws were designed to flip out of the skull, creating a more proper "hand" for the robot mode. The toy is depicted in this posture in official pictures. While all the necessary articulation is there on the final release, the feature was effectively removed through the later addition of rigid pegs inside the skull that permanently affix the jaws in place. It is possible to [[customizing|sever these pegs with a narrow blade]] and reactivate the feature.
*''[[Alternators|Alternators/Binaltech]]'' [[Tracks (G1)#Alternators|Tracks]] was originally intended to feature spring-loaded arm cannons that would have deployed by pushing a button on the sides of the arms. The final toy instead features a sliding mechanism to deploy the arm cannons by moving a peg on the top of the arms. The spring-loaded arm cannons are depicted in the line art used for [[Hasbro]]'s [[instructions]], [[TakaraTomy|Takara's]] [[stock photography|stock photos]] for the yellow version and an article in ''Dengeki Hobby Magazine'' that features a hardcopy ("gray model") [[prototype]] of the toy.
*''[[Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' [[Overhaul (Cybertron)|Leobreaker]] was subject to an abnormally huge amount of design changes before his release, neutering and removing several gimmicks and sculpted feature.
*''Cybertron'' Voyager Class [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]] lost all of his internal electronics somewhere late in development.
*''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Voyager Class [[Starscream (Movie)/toys|Starscream's]] instructions refer to an additional joint inside the hand's palms that allows to fold them up in jet mode, and depict the forearm cannons in a position where they are moved forward when illustrating the push-button missile firing [[gimmick]], even though the actual toy's hands are cast in one piece, and the cannons are sculpted in place on the actual toy.
*''Revenge of the Fallen'' Deluxe Class [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]] was originally designed to have a lever activated buzzsaw in his right forearm. Like several ROTF toys, this was probably taken out for budget concerns, although some remnants remain in the sculpt of the forearm, and the packaging of the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers]]'' [[Target]] [[exclusive]] "High-Speed Spy Battle" multi-pack even calls out the non-existent gimmick on the back of the box.
{{-}}

==Articulation==
*[[Legends Class|Legends]] of ''[[Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' [[Vector Prime]] was apparently originally intended to sport [[articulation|articulated]] elbows, but the final toy has each arm sculpted as one piece. The stock photo of Legends [[Scattershot (G1)|Scattorshot]], a [[redeco]] of Vector Prime, on the back of the the ''[[Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Target]] [[exclusive]] "Special Team Leaders" five-pack depicts a bent elbow. Supposedly, it's easier for Hasbro to simply rapid up a new prototype than keeping samples of older product around for the purpose of re-painting them.
*''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Leader Class [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Leader Class 2|Optimus Prime]] was originally intended to have articulated fingers, as seen in the stock photos on the back of his packaging. The final toy has the hands cast in one piece.
*''[[Robot Heroes (toyline)|Robot Heroes]]'' [[Megatron (G1)/toys|"G1" Megatron's]] head, according to the stock photos, has limited articulation in the neck. However, the final toy only has articulation in the arms.

==Assembly==
[[Image:Human Alliance Bumblebee Prototype.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Nothing that can't be achieved with a screwdriver.]]
*''Revenge of the Fallen'' [[Human Alliance]] [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys|Bumblebee's]] legs were originally intended to be assembled the opposite way, which would have put the wheels on the outer sides of the shins and thus made the legs as a whole lot more [[show-accuracy|movie-accurate]]. Presumably, it was decided to swap the legs because the extra [[transformation]] step (rotating the legs and waist) would have been too difficult for kids to do. While a hardcopy ("gray model") prototype shown in [[TakaraTomy]] solicitations depicts the originally intended assembly for the legs, the official [[Hasbro]] [[stock photography|stock photos]] and the [[instructions]] show the "[[misassembly]]" as the "correct" assembly.

Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)

2010-10-15T01:12:58Z

173.65.171.41: /* Scout Class */

{{nav-cybertron}}
The '''''Cybertron''''' toyline continued many of the design trends of ''Energon''. The line's toys are thematically built around six planets, but feature one unifying [[Gimmick|feature]]: the cyber key. These clear-plastic disks with key-like projections now activate special weapons and hidden features, much like the [[Mini-Con|Mini-Cons]] of ''Armada'', even on most figures remolded from previous lines. [[Redeco|Redecos]], like the Cybertron release of [[Armada (franchise)|''Armada'']]'s [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/toys|Super-Con Optimus Prime]], come with remolded keys that have a mini-con connector to unlock gimmicks. The gimmicks are less intrusive than ''Armada''; articulation suffers far less for their inclusion, though some lower-priced figures do lack a little when compared to ''Energon''. Combination has largely disappeared -- but not completely.

Each toy is assigned a planet. This determines which Cyber Key is included, but also seems to correlate with some design choices, as will be seen below. Each Cyber Key comes with a code printed on the back. For a list of codes, go to [[Cyber Key Codes]].
{{-}}

===Earth Planet toy overview===
[[Image:Cybertron Red Alert toy.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Red Alert]]
These generally convert into fairly normal Earth vehicles. Robot modes are angular and normally proportioned for humanoid transformers. Faces are traditionally styled.
{{-}}

===Speed Planet toy overview===
[[Image:Cyb Override toy.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Override]]
Alternate modes are fantasy racing vehicles, with transparent plastic tires. Vehicle modes are futuristic and occasionally [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicon]]-like in appearance. The Speed Planet robots have their own unique body proportions, generally featuring large upper bodies, long thighs and thin waists. Many of them use twin-barreled blasters or dual cannons in vehicle and robot modes (Brakedown is a notable exception).
{{-}}

===Jungle Planet toy overview===
[[Image:CybertronGF Undermine toy.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Undermine]]
Jungle Planet alternate modes are robotic beasts. Their styling is sometimes very organic in shape and even in texture, but not really to the point of techno-organism. Robot modes and faces are widely varied (although most have two fangs protruding from their lower lip), and hark back to the Beast Era in creative differences from the "standard" humanoid model. Jungle Planet designs: [[Beast Wars (franchise)|''Beast Wars'']] Transmetals or [[Beast Machines (franchise)|''Beast Machines'']] Maximals (sharing something of the "liquid metal animal" aesthetic), per the above analogy. They usually wield melee weapons of varying description.
{{-}}

===Giant Planet toy overview===
[[Image:MenasorCyb-Toy.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Menasor]]
Giant Planet robots transform into a variety of construction vehicles. They are gargantuan in appearance, relying on detail and proportion to create an impression of massive size. The Giant Planet toys are roughly in scale with the Legends of Cybertron figures. Of the Giant Planet toys released, two ([[Metroplex (Cybertron)|Metroplex]] and [[Menasor (Cybertron)|Menasor]]) are almost completely alien in appearance, while [[Quickmix (Cybertron)|Quickmix]] and the [[Giant Planet Mini-Con Team]] are fairly "normal", like everyday (albeit oversized) Earth vehicles.
{{-}}

===Planet X toy overview===
[[Image:SidewaysCybertron.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Sideways]]
Alternate modes are usually futuristic jets, with the exception being Unicron (who is a futuristic tank). It's somewhat difficult to draw conclusions when only three toys from this planet were released. In general, these are alien in appearance, even more so than the Speed or Giant Planet toys.
{{-}}

===Cybertron Planet toy overview===
[[Image:Cyb GFVectorPrime toy.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Galaxy Force Vector Prime]]
Cybertron Planet toys are the "everything else" category. There are two distinct Planet Keys for Cybertron: one with an Autobot symbol and the other with a Decepticon insignia. Toys with Cybertron Planet Keys range from normal to futuristic. This category usually represents characters who are either part of the "original" Autobot and Decepticon teams searching for the Planet Keys, or those who never left or have an affinity for Cybertron (such as [[Buzzsaw (Cybertron)|Buzzsaw]] or [[Longrack (Cybertron)|Longrack]]). The unique keys carried by Optimus and Megatron arguably belong in this category, despite being labeled as Earth Planet in their original releases (or Giant and Universal with their respective redecos).
