The [[United States]] and [[Japan]] aren't the only countries that have ''Transformers'' commercials. Just about every country that received the original ''The Transformers'' [[The Transformers (toyline)|toyline]] had their own television advertising campaign for it. Approaches to the commercials differed quite a bit, with most countries simply receiving dubbed US spots, some getting their own unique spots (early UK, Spain) or, in the case of Italy, a combination of both. The reason for these different approaches (besides needing to adjust for different cultures) is that during the early years of the Transformers brand, [[Hasbro]] did not yet have local offices to handle the marketing and distribution of its toys outside of the US and [[Canada]]. As a result, marketing and distribution was licensed out to [[Milton Bradley|companies]] [[GiG|with]] [[IGA|ties]] to various local markets. Commercials for [[Generation 1 (European toyline)|Generation 1]] after 1990 were largely the same across Europe, originally produced for [[Milton Bradley]] in English and then dubbed for the other markets. By the time ''Generation 2'' was being released in the US, Hasbro had started to open foreign offices. As a result, foreign advertising campaigns began to shift away from unique commercials and towards a more economical approach of simply dubbing the spots created for the US. Since [[2001]], practically all foreign Transformers advertising in Hasbro markets uses dubbed spots.

{{note|Since many modern international ads are merely U.S. ads dubbed for non-English markets, only post G1 ads with either changes to the order of footage or entirely new footage will be listed here.}}

[[Image:UK G1 Optimus Commercial.jpg|200px|right|thumb|]]
* '''Optimus Prime''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8c0pu383Vg]

: ''Animation:'' [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]], [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]] and [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]] takeoff; [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] transforms and fires; Black helmet [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] takes aim. All were re-used from the early American commercials.

They do so in a "mountainous area just outside a big city" diorama with the tabletop and city skyline in a red and white grid pattern inspired by G1 Autobot [[packaging]].
:''Notes:'' Optimus is referred to as being the Autobots' "battle headquarters" as well as their leader.
: ''Optimus Prime, we need you!''

[[Image:UK G1 Megatron Commercial.jpg|200px|right|thumb|MegaTRON?]]

: ''Animation:'' Unknown.
: ''Toy segment:'' [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] is played with in front of a purple and white grid backdrop inspired by G1 Decepticon packaging.

* '''Autobot cars & Decepticon planes''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHBKcGnGj9Y&#t=1m48s](clips) / [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHBKcGnGj9Y&#t=2m08s](two more clips)
: ''Animation:'' The "Autobot cars meet the Seekers" portion of the ''The Transformers #1'' spot.
: ''Toy segment:'' Essentially the same as the Optimus Prime spot but without Prime.
: ''Notes:'' The [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]] toy used in the commercial is the cross variant.

*'''Dinobots''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDTer5djNDw]
: ''Animation:'' Soundwave battles Sludge, Slag and Grimlock. Trimmed down footage from the US Dinobots commercial.
: ''Toy segment:'' Two boys in blue sweaters play with the Dinobots on the same red-and-white grid seen in the previous Autobot-centric ads. Surrounding them are grey mountains, behind them an orange sun looms in a red sky. The narrator tells us the Autobots have created Slag, Sludge, Snarl and Grimlock, "a brave prehistoric breed". A third boy joins the scene, armed with Dirge and Ramjet, who swoop in for attack. The Dinobots transform to robot mode. Ramjet floats around in front of them before deciding to retreat.

* '''Ultra Magnus and Galvatron''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCtbgHp4Tzs]
: ''Animation:'' [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]] and [[Blitzwing (G1)|Blitzwing]] swoop down over a fallen Autobot (Blaster?) and create an explosion; Ultra Magnus and his carrier full of Autobots transform in front a volcano. The latter is an excerpt from the animated footage used in the US Battlechargers commercial.
: ''Toy segment:'' Ultra Magnus rolls through a rocky diorama and transforms; Galvatron rolls onto a plateau, transforms and shows off his eye flashing ability.
: ''Notes:'' Galvatron's electronic noises are played constantly during his section of the ad. The music used in this and the rest of the 1986/87 commercials can be heard in full on [[The Special Teams]] audio cassette in all it's funky synthesised hand-clap glory.
: ''The magnificent ULTRA MAGNUS!''

* '''Springer & Octane''' [http://www.retrojunk.com/details_commercial/3918/] (French audio)
: ''Animation:'' Re-used from the U.S. Autobot [[Triple Changer]]s & Octane commercial.
: ''Toy segment:'' [[Springer (G1)|Springer]] and [[Octane]]'s modes are counted off.

[[Image:UK Metroplex Commercial.jpg|right|200px|thumb]]
* '''Metroplex''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diclxqRU6a0]

: ''Animation:'' Metroplex drives and shoots. Re-used from the American commercial.
: ''Toy segment:'' Ominous music plays while [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] and [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]] fly towards Metroplex and [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]], [[Scamper]] and [[Blades (G1)|Blades]] demonstrate Metroplex's base mode features. Metroplex then triumphantly transforms into robot mode only to have the ominous question asked: ''But can Metroplex beat up the new Decepticons?''
: ''Notes:'' The same red sweater wearing kid's hand from the previous commercial is shown moving the toys.
: ''This is Metroplex, Autobot city.''

* '''Autobot Cars - Kup, Blurr and Hot Rod''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgrJyshM8Ec]
: ''Animation:'' [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]] and [[Kup (G1)|Kup]] transform to attack Starscream and Skywarp. [[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]] runs around in circles.
: ''Toy segment:'' We see Kup, Blurr and Hot Rod in vehicle form, backed up by some of the still-available Autobot cars from the previous two years. We're told by the narrator that these three new warriors have been built by the Autobots on Cybertron, even though the commercial takes place in the usual sandy, mountainous environment. Wireframe breakdowns of the three new Autobots in vehicle form appear, which transition back to filmed footage of the toys in action. Kup is said to be experienced in battle, which seems to contradict the previous statement about him just being built right off the bat. Blurr jumps a cliff. Hot Rod rams two Decepticons off another cliffside, before transforming and joining his two comrades to pose moodily.
: ''Notes:'' Hot Rod is sporting his early pink paintjob, rather than his normal crimson look. The wireframe-to-toy effects are reminiscent of those seen in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxlcU_3SQ3U Takara's Diaclone Car Robots Porsche 935 Turbo (Jazz) commercial].
: ''The Decepticons' days are numbered!''

* '''Autobot Heroes - Rodimus Prime and Wreck-Gar''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IA28zT6vqEw] (French audio)
: ''Animation:'' The newly amended, paler Transformers logo zooms in and smashes to reveal the words "Autobot Heroes". In the background, a pale yellow planet is seen.
: ''Toy segment:'' [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]] looms over [[Bumblebee (G1)|Goldbug]], but [[Wreck-Gar (G1)|Wreck-Gar]] (billed as "Junkion Leader" on-screen) and Rodimus Prime ("Autobot Protector") race to the rescue. Transforming to robot mode and still accompanied by Goldbug, they stare down the Combaticon combiner.
: ''Notes:'' 1987's commercials resemble those of 1986, but for this year only no longer borrow any animated footage from their US counterparts.

[[Image:Throttlebots_UK_Commercial.png|right|200px|thumb|Red rover, red rover, they're all coming over!]]
* '''Duocons and Throttlebots''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-o193hIKfw] (French audio)
: ''Animation:'' Same logo zoom / smash as the previous commercial.
: ''Toy segment:'' [[Flywheels]] and [[Battletrap]] fly past a mountain backdrop and a purple sculpture reading "NEW DUOCONS". They merge with their ground-based components and spring into robot mode. The [[Throttlebot]]s are alerted to this, but still find time to do some pull-back-and-go stunt work before fending off the enemy.

* '''Sparkabots and Firecons''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gR8i0f4_HRA]
: ''Kidmation:'' A young boy has his eyes closed. He's suddenly startled before the camera cuts to a close-up of his eye, within which the Transformers logo can be seen.
: ''Toy segment:'' Fizzle rolls along in car form, sparking wildly. Sparkstalker does the same in monster mode, and is then seen in robot form. All six toys are then seen in their altmodes for the final shot.
: ''Notes:'' All the elements that had been constant in the UK commercials prior to this point - the use of the Transformers theme music, the narrator, the elaborate sets and so on - have now been abandoned. Commercials from the first half of 1988 also have a completely different "Power to Surprise" jingle to their US counterparts.

* '''Seacons''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1T2o87_O2k]
: ''Kidmation:'' Same as the Sparkabots/Firecons commercial.
: ''Toy segment:'' Bubbling water dissolves to reveal the Seacons in their altmodes. Piranacon is then shown.

* '''Pretenders''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qXnrAzCRLw]

: ''Animation:'' The Autobot Pretenders splitting from their shells; Re-used from American spots.
: ''Toy segment:'' Re-used bits from the various American Pretender commercials plus a bit from the American Pretender Beasts commercial.
: ''Notes:'' In addition to new narration, a new rendition of the music from the American Pretender commercials plays over this spot.
: ''And watch out for Pretender Beasts!''

* '''Powermasters''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qXnrAzCRLw&#t=0m23s]

: ''Animation:'' [[Joyride (Autobot)|Joyride]] and [[Getaway]] uniting with their Powermaster partners. Re-used from the American commercials.
: ''Toy segment:'' Re-used from the American commercial.
: ''Notes:'' The narration and music have again been re-recorded.

: ''Animation:'' Powermaster Prime shooting at Darkwing and Dreadwind. Re-used from the American commercials.
: ''Toy segment:'' Re-used from the American commercial.

* '''Classic Transformers''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZe-typZqbA] (German audio)
: ''Animation:'' Re-used footage, from the US 1985 Autobot Cars commercial, of [[Smokescreen (G1)|Smokescreen]], [[Tracks (G1)|Tracks]], [[Inferno (G1)|Inferno]], [[Hoist (G1)|Hoist]], [[Red Alert (G1)|Red Alert]] and [[Grapple]] rolling into battle and transforming.
: ''Toy segment:'' On a rocky set reminiscent of the 1986/87 commercials, Jazz is transformed step by step. He's then seen next to [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]] and both instantly convert from car to robot. [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]] and [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] do the same. Finally, Inferno does a stop-motion transformation from fire truck to robot, as Jazz and Sunstreaker pull up in their car forms.
: ''Notes:'' The use of the ill-fitting 1985 Autobot Cars animation may possibly be unique to the German version of the ad.

* '''Generation 2 - Optimus Prime & Megatron''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKuciRuGiyQ]
: ''Animation:'' Same as the US version of Megatron's commercial, but edited - the shot of Prime's head as Megatron "locks on" is removed.
: ''Toy segment:'' Cut-down footage of Megatron beating up Optimus and showcasing all his gimmicks from the US ad. Notably the whole "LISTEN TO THE VOICE OF DOOM" bit is removed, as are all the on-screen comic-book style sound effects. The Generation 2 cartoon theme music and Victor Caroli have both been replaced. Finally, the still shot of the toys at the end displays both Optimus and Megatron, rather than just the latter.
: ''Notes:'' "Can Optimus Prime defeat his toughest enemy?"

* '''2007 Robots In Disguise DVD Boxsets''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0sr7KNcYbUE]
: A Megatron-soundalike proclaims "We are back" while clips of the series play.

* '''Roll Out Command Optimus Prime''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gBafvIoJNI]

: ''Notes:'' Very similar to the American spot, but doesn't point out Megatron's sound gimmick and additionally features Leader [[Bulkhead (Animated)|Bulkhead]]

[[Image:Transformer 6-pack Commercial.jpg|right|250px|thumb]]
* '''Burger King Transformer 6-pack''' [http://adland.tv/commercials/burger-king-transformers-6-pack-washatron-2009-30-usa]

: A guy returns to the kitchen table to find one his [[Transformer 6-pack]] burgers gone. His friend responds to being accused of the theft by blaming it on the washing machine, claiming "its door changed into a giant claw and it devoured it in one swoop." Right. The man is not swayed. The friend tries further persuasion: "It's plotting massive destruction." <washing machine kicks into high gear> "Oh no...IT'S COMING BACK FOR MORE!"

* '''Transformers Battle Card Collection''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCAp0MFzKf0]

: The narrator talks about the [[Battle Card Collection]] packs while various cards have their illustrations animated.

===France===
France got dubs of the US commercials for their Generation 1 advertising. While most were straight dubs, some spots re-ordered the US footage while others combined footage from multiple US commercials. Bizarrely, the new audio tracks for the Pretender, Micromaster, Action Master, and Classics commercials were largely composed of a bright, upbeat tune better suited to an 80's chewing gum commercial, if not for the Transformers-specific lyrics. [[Generation 2 (franchise)|Generation 2]] commercials kept the "late G1 logo/robotic voice" intro from the 1992 and 1993 commercials.

* '''Optimus Prime''' [http://www.ina.fr/pub/culture-et-loisirs/video/PUB3784054091/robots-transformers-mb-jouets.fr.html]

* '''Insecticons''' [http://www.ina.fr/pub/culture-et-loisirs/video/PUB3784063101/transformers-robot-jouet.fr.html]

* '''Blitzwing & Springer''' [http://www.ina.fr/pub/culture-et-loisirs/video/PUB3784063172/transformers-robot-jouet.fr.html]
: ''Notes:'' Uses the toy segment from Triple Changers & Perceptor, plus the toy segment from Springer and Wreck-Gar. Also uses the animation from Triple Changers & Perceptor which, considering the animation doesn't actually feature [[Blitzwing (G1)|Blitzwing]], must have seemed odd to French viewers.

* '''Springer & Octane''' [http://www.retrojunk.com/details_commercial/3918/]
: ''Notes:'' A dubbed version of the UK ad.

[[Image:France G1Combiners Commercial.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Who called ''this'' meeting?]]
