'''''Generation 1''''' is the original Transformers franchise which took the United States by storm in 1984. It is what most people older than 17 or so think of when they hear "Transformers".<br />
<br />
The term "Generation 1" (G1) was originally a fan-coined back-formulation of ''[[Generation 2]]''. Until the Transformers:''Generation 2'' line was released, ''Generation 1'' was simply called ''Transformers''. Over the years, the use of the term G1 has become fairly universal and has frequently been used in official materials. It has even appeared on [[Takara]] toy packaging and on [[Hasbro]]'s official Transformers website and reissue toy packaging.<br />
<br />
The ''Generation 1'' franchise as it ran in the 1980s/90s featured the following primary components:<br />
*[[Generation 1 (toyline)|A toyline]]<br />
*[[Generation 1 (cartoon)|A cartoon series]]<br />
*[[Generation 1 (comic)|A comic book series]]<br />
<br />
''Generation 1'' also included an avalanche of ancillary licensed merchandise, moreso than any other Transformers franchise outside of Japan. This has resulted in a higher number of [[Micro-Continuities]] in G1 than in any other Transformers franchise.<br />
<br />
This licensing was revived in the early 2000s due to retro-appeal at retailers like Hot Topic. It has continued at varying levels of intensity since.<br />
