'''''Generation 2''''' was the first of many rebirths for the [[Transformers brand]]. Although the original ''Transformers'' franchise had never stopped producing toys in Japan or Europe, the North American line had completely disappeared for nearly two years when ''Generation 2'' launched in 1993. AJ IS A LEGEND!! VERY TOUCHABLE :P

The G2 [[franchise]] featured the following primary components:
* [[Generation 2 (toyline)|A toyline]]
* [[Generation 2 (cartoon)|A cartoon series]]
* [[Generation 2 (Marvel comic)|A US comic book series]]
* [[Generation 2 (Fleetway comic)|A short-lived UK comic]]

Although the G2 cartoon was merely a set of repackaged [[Generation 1 (cartoon)|G1 cartoon]] episodes (featuring the flashy, computer-animated [[Cybernet Space Cube]]), the G2 comic book was a direct continuation of the story from the [[Generation 1 (comic)|G1 comic]] which had ended at issue 80.

Generation 2's toy [[commercial]]s are noted for an early use of CGI animation (including depictions of some characters who had very few fictional appearances anywhere else.) A subset of the commercials is also noted for ''hilariously'' bad rap music.

The Japanese version of Generation 2 followed the animated continuity rather than the comic book continuity. The Japanese G2 storyline was told through a combination of:

* Story pages published in TV Magazine
* Mini-comics packaged with the toys
* A manga special, "[[The Earth is in Danger!]]", published in Comics Bom Bom

''Generation 2'' ended in 1995 in all markets, with flagging sales and waning interest in Transformers on the whole. While [[Takara]] moved on to other transforming robot series, the [[Brave]] Saga which would continue untill 1997 with "King Of Braves GaoGaiGar", [[Hasbro]] shuffled its boys-toy lines over to the recently-acquired [[Kenner]] offices, and gave them the task of re-inventing ''Transformers'' with something fresh and new... ''[[Beast Wars]]''.
