'''First Transformers''' is a Transformers toyline initially produced in 1986. It was the first Transformers line specifically aimed at a demographic younger than the standard "5 and up" target age group.<br />
<br />
A point of particular note is that its toys have their own faction symbol, which resembles a very cute, rounded Autobot symbol but is neither [[Autobot]] nor [[Decepticon]].<br />
<br />
Neither the characters nor the symbol have ever appeared in any fiction, though since the [[Optimus (faction)|Optimus]] and [[Malignus]] finally did so in mid-2008, their days of total media obscurity are probably numbered...<br />
<br />
The concept of the line would later be revived in the [[1-2-3 Transformers]] toys marketed through Hasbro's [[Tonka]] brand.<br />

==Toyline==<br />
[[Playskool]] released 3 unnamed ''First Transformers'' toys in the United States in 1986: a race car, a dump truck and an airplane. In 1987, these 3 toys were released in Japan, now called Racer-kun, Dump-kun and Jet-kun. ("-kun" is an affectionate/diminutive Japanese suffix commonly applied to names given to young males.) All three were released in the US again again in 1993 with various [[Redeco|new decos]] and [[Remold|remoldings]], but still without names. Another curious point of difference is that the original toys were recommended for "ages 1-3", while the reissues were targeted for "ages 2 &amp; up".<br />
