==Fiction==
===Generation 1===
* Debris from the [[1943]] [[World War II]] battle between [[Japan]] and the [[United States military|US forces]] at [[Guadalcanal]] can still be found. Banished from the [[Victory (G1)|Decepticon HQ]], [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] uses some of this debris to build the [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]].{{storylink|Starscream's Brigade}}

* Unveiling ceremony for the [[Optimus Prime memorial]].{{storylink|Starscream's Brigade}}

===Transformers vs. G.I. Joe===
* After it's defeat in [[World War II]], [[Cobra]] resurfaces as a terrorist organisation. The remains of the Transformers, having been nearly wiped out during the war, are used in a massive arms race.

* A [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe team]] led by [[Flint (G.I. Joe)|Flint]] attacks a [[Cobra]] shipping facility in [[New York City]]. While the facility is largely destroyed, [[Destro]] and [[Scrap-Iron]] manage to escape via [[Flight Pod|Trouble Bubble]]. Soon afterwards, the Joes detect the crash of an [[Autobot]] shuttlecraft near [[Portland]]. Flint and several other Joes were sent to retrieve it, and after meeting with a rookie team led by [[Spirit]], they repell a Cobra strike team and recover the unconscious [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] and [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]]. Along with [[Duke (G.I. Joe)|Duke]] and [[Stalker (G.I. Joe)|Stalker]], a retired [[Scarlett]] decides it is time to tell the new recruits about their adventure with the Transformers. {{storylink|Targets of Opportunity}}

==Non Fiction==
===Events===
* 20 years before the merger with [[TakaraTomy|Takara]], Tomy's US branch registers the name "Scrapper" as a [[trademark]] in the "toys" field. This same year, [[Hasbro]] releases a [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicon]] of [[Scrapper (G1)|the same name]]. This presumably does not result in any repercussions for Hasbro.
* [[GiG]] abandons the [[Trasformer]] line and instead re-releases the toys in actual Transformers packaging.
