'''''Henkei! Henkei! Transformers''''' (変形!ヘンケイ!トランスフォーマー, "'''Transform! Transform! Transformers'''") is the name of the Japanese version of the ''[[Classics (2006)|Classics]]'' toyline (and part of the 2008 ''[[Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]]'' toyline). Like the ''[[Beast Machines (toyline)|Beast Wars Returns]]'' toyline before it, this line features several [[Redeco|redecoes]] of existing figures to make them look more like the original [[Character model|character models]] than their American counterparts. For example, Megatron is silver and black instead of gray, purple and [[neon]] green, Starscream and Grimlock are colored closer to their show models, Convoy/Optimus Prime and Bumble/Bumblebee have less white paint, and Astrotrain has a more [[Show-accuracy|show-inspired]] deco of dark gray and purple instead of white and violet. In addition to these tweaks, every toy has various areas cast in [[Vacuum metallizing|vacuum metalized plastic]], very likely as an homage to the common use of chromed weapons and parts in the early waves of [[The Transformers (toyline)|G1 toyline]] it emulates. In one further difference from the Hasbro version of this line, the ''Henkei! Henkei!'' toys came with a [[Henkei! Henkei! (pack-in comic)|mini-manga]].
