==Commercial only characters==
Do any of these guys deserve their own page? Or merit mention on page other than this one?

== Filling in the blanks ==

I've uploaded and linked to a few ads that weren't documented here already (Dinobots, post-movie cars, and some others). Some from the UK, and others that originated in the UK but were dubbed into French or German. There are some others knocking around the net and in my own VHS collection which I'll add later.

We're missing a LOT, though. There are UK ads I know existed, but only from recollection. If it helps to jog anyone's memories, maybe we can dig these up from some place:

- Insecticons (1985) - I think TV Cream used to have a still frame of the end of this commercial on their site, but now I can't find it.

- Jetfire (1985/86) - IIRC the animation / jingle from the start of this is on the BBC I Love 1984 or I Love Toys documentaries, lifted from the US Jetfire / Shockwave ad.

- Headmasters (1987)

- At least a couple of the French ads from the Gen 1.5 era with the "circuit board" animation definitely made it to the UK - I remember they actually used to air sometimes on Sky One during reruns of the G1 cartoon in 1992/93. My money's on Turbomasters / Predators and Aquaspeeders. From recollection they had some pre-G2 CGI TF animation in them like the German Overlord commercial, which amazed me at the time.

- From G2 I have the UK edit of the Tank Megs / G2 Prime ad which I can upload. But there was also a UK cut of the Rotors / Laser Rod commercials - yes, with the rapping! - which ran on The Childrens' Channel throughout the summer of 1994.

These are just off the top of my head. I feel certain there was a TV commercial promoting the Shreddies cereal Transformers promotion around 1986 too. Sadly, some of this material is bound to be lost to the ages. But if anyone thinks they may have these or any other missing commercials kicking around, please upload 'em; it'd be much appreciated. ^_^ {{unsigned|Asukasboy}}

:Thanks for adding all those spots. Either the I Love Toys or the I Love 1984 documentary is linked to for the clips of the Megatron ad and the Autobot cars ad, the other one was linked to but the video was taken down. I did manage to save the clip before that, so I'll look and see if I can find the Jetfire clip. I think I do remember seeing it in one of those videos.

:In regards to some of the other ads, I have a suspicion that from 1986 or 1987 (whichever year Europe got the Autobot Triple Changers) until the end of G1, the U.K., France and Germany all got essentially the same ads. I figure that they were originally filmed/narrated in English and then dubbed (and maybe occasionally edited, as seen with Overlord) for the other markets, since all three markets were handled by Milton Bradley. I just haven't seen a large enough body of evidence to safely make such an assumption. Given some of the radical changes in narration and music the French commercials would have to have made, it's probably not a bad idea to continue documenting the countries separately. As for commercials being lost to the ages, I wouldn't have thought we'd have as many of the US ads archived as we do. Heck, I was shocked when Soundwave with the U.S. audio and the Alex Karras spot turned up. So never say never. --[[User:Tigerpaw28|Tigerpaw28]] 15:12, 9 August 2010 (EDT)

Five years on and new old ads continue to surface. I think we may now have a clean sweep of UK commercials from 1987, although sadly for several of them we still only have the subsequent French dubs. So what's left?

The Jetfire commercial with the Dinobots from 1986 is different to the one seen briefly in I Love 1984. So it seems the Dinobots and Jetfire had separate ads in 85 and then a joint one with Cyclonus and Scourge in 86. There must be a Jetfire commercial out there from 1985 that's yet to be discovered. The Insecticons one is still missing, and I find it hard to believe there isn't one for Soundwave and his cassettes given he was one of the more expensive toys. The general rule of thumb thus far seems to have been that if Hasbro had ads running for a toy in the Marvel UK comic, there was an accompanying TV commercial (from 1985 through 1987, at least).

Putting this out there -- I think there was some really early television advertising on TV-AM for either the Marvel UK comic (using footage from the MTMTE mini-series) or just the general promotion for the impending arrival of the cartoon. These are some of my earliest TF memories, so it's all a bit of a blur. The hunt continues... --[[User:Asukasboy|Asukasboy]] ([[User talk:Asukasboy|talk]]) 16:48, 2 May 2015 (EDT)

== Some other things ==

I want to add some other commercials, albeit none of them are on Youtube. A particular one is a Italian one for 2010 toylines, made mainly with footage from ROTF and from the Power Core Combiners commercial, which shows at the end for "collect 'em all" sake PCC Aerialbots and RTS G2 Optimus... albeit the latter was ''never'' released in Italy actually. --[[User:Phantom Dusclops'92|Phantom Dusclops'92]] 14:22, 25 December 2013 (EDT)

Asukasboy: Added UK commercials for the Headmasters, Scorponok, and Horrorcons, plus a French dub of a UK ad for the Targetmasters.

[[File:UK Autobot Cars Commercial.jpg|upright=1.4|right|thumb]]
The [[United States of America|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 [[The Transformers (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.}}

===United Kingdom===

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!''

[[File:UK G1 Megatron Commercial.jpg|upright=1.1|right|thumb|MegaTRON?]]
* '''Megatron''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20FDEi6Wsxk&#t=2m45s](short clip)

* '''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) / [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rv09ydaJXI0] (Full Version)
: ''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.

* '''Dinobots and Jetfire''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVX6RqrP4ls]
: ''Animation: Same edit of Soundwave battling Sludge, Slag and Grimlock as the previous commercial.
: ''Toy segment:'' Jetfire flies over the usual sandy and mountainous environment. The narrator informs us that the Autobots are always on their guard and that "In the air is Jetfire, heavily armored and daring in battle." Jetfire eventually comes to a jungle, from which Snarl emerges. The narrator tells us that patrolling the jungle are the Dinobots, once again described as "a brave prehistoric breed". Sludge arises from some heavy mist inside another part of the jungle while Slag comes out from behind a rocky outcropping somewhere else. Jetfire transforms to robot mode, then Scourge and Cyclonus show up. Cyclonus flies into the mouth of Grimlock, who rises from out of the ground like a zombie. Grimlock transforms and poses with the other Dinobots and Jetifre on some rocks.
: ''The Dinobots and Jetfire are ready for anything!''

* '''Ultra Magnus and Galvatron''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCtbgHp4Tzs]

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 its 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.

[[File:UK Metroplex Commercial.jpg|right|upright=1.1|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 (G1)|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!''

* '''Decepticon Planes - Scourge & Cyclonus''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCyNQiyBBpY]
: ''Animation:'' [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]] and [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] attacking, re-used from their US ad.
: ''Toy segment:'' Scourge and Cyclonus are shown through a camera reticle in vehicle form as the narrator tells us that "We can now bring you the latest pictures of the new Decepticon planes - they're light-years ahead!" Shutter closing effects accompany shots of the Decepticons from different angles. Cyclonus and Scourge transform just in time to see Hot Rod and Blurr drive up. The Decepticons react by...going off to somewhere else?
: ''If any Autobots are watching this, BE WARNED.''

* '''Transformers: The Movie''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0Vzgj0Fmio]
: ''Animation:'' Various clips from Transformers: The Movie are shown. One-upping the US "Does Prime die?" commercial, the announcer tell us that this is our chance to "see Optimus Prime and Megatron in their final battle". We are also promised "super new Autobot heroes" (Rodimus is shown), and "evil new Decepticons" (Galvatron & [[Unicron]] are showcased).
: ''The ultimate Transformers adventure. ''Transformers: The Movie'' - opens December 12th!''

* '''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.

[[File:Throttlebots UK Commercial.png|right|upright=1.1|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.

* '''Headmasters''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?vQj7tXO383sk] (English) [http://www.ina.fr/video/PUB3784088095/hasbro-transformer-headmaster-jouet-garcon-video.html] (French)
: ''Animation:'' Decepticon version of the logo/smash animation that dissolves into a wireframe animation of [[Highbrow (G1)|Highbrow]], displaying his tech spec reader feature.
: ''Toy segment:'' Highbrow in helicopter mode is seen flying past [[Mindwipe (G1)|Mindwipe]] and [[Weirdwolf (G1)|Weirdwolf]] in a rocky Nebulan environment. He then flies over [[Skullcruncher]] before coming in for a landing next to his Autobot Headmaster comrades. The Nebulan minifigures, which the narration informs us are their "commanders", are shown converting to become the heads of the robots.
: ''Notes:'' The French version of this commercial adds an establishing shot of Nebulos lifted from the US Headmasters toy commercial, and omits a few seconds of footage.

* '''Targetmasters''' [http://www.ina.fr/video/PUB3784088079/transformer-targetmasters-hasbro-jouet-pour-garcon-personnage-video.html] (French)
: ''Animation:'' Decepticon version of the logo/smash animation. We then see the same shot of Nebulos from the French version of the above Headmasters commercial (presumably not in the UK cut)
: ''Toy segment:'' The Decepticon Targetmasters are seen through a crosshairs in their jet forms, followed by the Targetmaster Autobots in vehicle modes. [[Pointblank (G1)|Pointblank]] and [[Peacemaker]] are used to demonstrate the Nebulan-to-gun play feature. In robot form, the Targetmaster Autobots and Decepticons line up for battle.

* '''Scorponok''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iisB24YDwF0]
: ''Animation:'' Decepticon version of the logo/smash animation.
: ''Toy segment:'' Scorponok is seen in base mode. His various play features, including the ramp gimmick and [[Fasttrack (Scorponok)|Fasttrack]] are highlighted. Transformation into scorpion mode is shown, and he inexplicably grabs [[Sinnertwin (G1)|Sinnertwin]] in his pincers. Under attack by the Autobots, finally he changes to robot mode, with some animation to showcase his "secret power readout".
: ''Notes:'' Scorponok is touted as "The biggest Headmaster ever", [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|his Autobot counterpart]] absent from the UK lineup.

* '''Horrorcons''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UynabygD1hM]
: ''Animation:'' Decepticon version of the logo/smash animation which dissolves into a wireframe animation of [[Apeface|Apeface's]] Headmaster / power readout feature
: ''Toy segment:'' Apeface and [[Snapdragon (G1)|Snapdragon]] are shown flying in jet mode on [[Nebulos]]. Conversion of their trainers into the heads of the Horrorcon beasts is spotlighted, and then again into the robot mode heads.
: ''Notes:'' No Autobots appear or are even mentioned in this commercial.

* '''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. The earlier commercials are credited to the agencies Reeve Robertshaw Needham / [[Griffin Bacal]], whereas those from 1988 are produced by Griffin Bacal only. 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 (G1)|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.

* '''Powermaster Optimus Prime (short version)''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qXnrAzCRLw&t#=0m45s]

: ''Animation:'' Powermaster Prime shooting at Darkwing and Dreadwind. Re-used from the American commercials.
: ''Toy segment:'' Re-used from the American commercial.
: ''Notes:'' Same re-recorded Powermaster music.
: ''Optimus Prime's back! He's bigger, super Optimus Prime!''

* '''Powermaster Optimus Prime (long version)''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08n2RB_Jc_U]
: ''Animation:'' Extended piece of animation from the US Powermaster Prime commercial.
: ''Toy segment:'' Powermaster Prime's various modes and his interaction with the accompanying Hi-Q figure are showcased.
: ''Super Powermaster Optimus Prime, greatest leader of his time!''

* '''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 (G1)|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?"

* '''Beast Wars on GMTV Easter Monday''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9poj7-kL2k&t=5m30s]
: ''Notes:'' Clips from the Season 1 intro to ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Wars]]'' are use to advertise its appearance (along with the [[wikipedia:Big Bad Beetleborgs|Big Bad Beetleborgs]]) on GMTV's Easter Monday lineup.

* '''Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bz-geGjD7fY]
: ''Narration:'' Unknown.
: ''Toy segment:'' Megatron destroys an industrial area of some sort, which apparently qualifies as 'all' to him. Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus roll in to save the day, but even their two-on-one numbers game isn't enough to take him down. So they combine into Omega Prime who finally puts a stop to Megatron.
: ''Notes:'' Megatron has a few lines of dialogue provided by an unknown voice. One line at the end of the ad may be Omega Prime instead of Megatron. The voice sounds the same but the comment would make more sense coming from Omega Prime as he knocks down Megatron when it's uttered.

* '''[[Metrodome]] ''The Transformers: The Movie'' 20th Anniversary Edition DVD Preview''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pafj8_LUDkA]
: Excerpts from ''The Transformers: The Movie'' and images of various Metrodome Transformers DVDs are shown as text narration overlays urge consumers to buy Metrodome's G1 boxsets and 20th Anniversary edition of ''The Transformers: The Movie''

* '''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]]

[[File:Transformer 6-pack Commercial.jpg|right|upright=1.4|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.

* '''Burger King King Nuggets''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-ZrI8xxiiU]
: A family is sitting down to eat inside a [[Burger King]] restaurant. The father ponders what his [[King Nuggets]] must taste like as his wife scoffs at the notion that they'll be anything out of the ordinary. The father sets up his drink and opens his nuggets and dipping sauce, accompanied by mechanical and technological sound effects. He then chews his nuggets, the sound of his chewing resembling a hammer pounding an anvil. His wife attempts to grab a nugget, but he blocks her with mechanical precision. This prompts a reprimand from his wife: ''Grow up!''

* '''Transformers: Prime on CN Too''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7B4BnJRy5ac]
: Numerous clips from [[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)|Transformers: Prime]] looped and/or synchronized to the song "[[wikipedia:Gangnam Style|Gangnam Style]]". Of particular note is the use of a shot of Optimus Prime turning to face the camera and speaking. It has been altered to give him shades a la [[wikipedia:Psy|Psy]] in the song's video and is synched to the "Oppa Gangnam Style!" refrain.

{{anchor|UKAOE}}
* '''MTV/Lynx [[Transformers 4 Preview Competition]]''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiQxpyPXCa8]
: Various clips from ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|Transformers: Age of Extinction]]'' are shown as the announcer tells us that [[Unilever|Lynx]] (also known as Axe) has upgraded and to celebrate they're giving away an amazing trip to Hong Kong to see the film's premiere. The viewer is then directed to [[MTV]]'s UK website to enter.

* '''[[Optimus Prime Challenge Set]]''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTPg1B8NlU4]
: ''Animation:'' The Transfomers logo turns into an Autobot logo. Clips of Optimus Prime and Bumblebee driving from ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|Transformers: Age of Extinction]]''.
: ''Narration:'' Unknown.
: ''Toy segment:'' Two boys play with the track set on a floor with a wooden appearance, in front of some neon lights and white boxes.

===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. [[Transformers: Generation 2 (franchise)|Generation 2]] commercials kept the "late G1 logo/robotic voice" intro from the 1992 and 1993 commercials.

* '''Combiners and Decoys''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjrOvKPPP4k]

: A kid walks into an extremely small toy store which apparently sells only Transformers. He asks the shopkeeper, who bears more than a passing resemblance to [[Wikipedia:Ed Wynn|Ed Wynn]], about one of the [[combiner]] [[giftset]]s. The shopkeeper is overjoyed about this and starts to talk about the set when suddenly the giftsets come to life. The brave shopkeeper ducks down behind the desk, his head only popping up to see what's happening while the kid just looks on excitedly. The giftsets are shown with a ton of [[decoy]]s in front. The decoys' customization potential is demonstrated by showing blue paint applied to the chest of an Optimus Prime decoy. The decoys then wander into their packaging which becomes applied to the box of a [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]] giftset. The package slides out of frame to reveal the shopkeeper, no longer in hiding, covered in the decoys.
: "Stupendi, stupendi!"

: ''Toy segment:'' The same footage of Skyquake firing upon Thunder Clash used in the French commercial, but with the power guitar "robots in disguise" theme music used in the UK during this period, and a spinning Hasbro logo. Whereas the French version used a child narrator throughout, an adult one is used here.

: ''Toy segment:'' Same footage of [[Rotorstorm (G1)|Rotorstorm]] and the [[Turbo Master]]s seen in the French commercial, but trimmed down from 23 seconds to 16.

===Netherlands===
* '''Optimus Prime, Megatron, Autobot Cars & Decepticon Jets''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRTunrn8tzc]

: ''Animation:'' A mish-mash of footage from the first US comic commercial and Optimus Prime's US ad.
: ''Toy segment:'' Relatively brief footage of Optimus Prime being transformed, again from his US ad.
: ''Notes:'' Differs from the original commercials in that at the end, the Transformers logo flies away.

===Poland===
* '''Illuminators (Laser Rods) & Rotors ''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3PFzVKlBoM]
: ''Animation:'' Same CGI animation used in the US commercial, but edited.
: ''Toy segment:'' Same as the US version, except the Laser Rods are renamed Illuminators
: ''Notes:'' The rap is here... IN POLISH! It also uses the US names for the toys ("Electro, Volt, Sizzle, Jolt!")

===Greece===
[[File:Greek Stunticon Commercial.jpg|right|upright=1.1|thumb|It's a little known fact that one of Motormaster's hobbies is water skiing.]]
* '''Stunticons, Aerialbots & Throttlebots''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skXA_P4Bdnc]
: ''Animation:'' The changing block-by-block electrified logo used in US commercials circa 1989.
: ''Toy segment:'' The four small [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbot]]s fly in, followed by [[Silverbolt (G1)|Silverbolt]]. [[Air Raid (G1)|Air Raid]] and [[Fireflight (G1)|Fireflight]] do some stop-motion transformation followed by [[Slingshot (G1)|Slingshot]] and [[Skydive (G1 Aerialbot)|Skydive]]. A freckle-faced boy cheers as [[Drag Strip (G1)|Drag Strip]] and [[Dead End (G1)|Dead End]] speed along in car form. More stop-motion as [[Motormaster (G1)|Motormaster]] goes from truck to robot. Dead End and [[Breakdown (G1)|Breakdown]] make some attempt to follow his lead, followed by [[Wildrider (G1)|Wildrider]] and Drag Strip. Goldbug is shown on his backing card, but quickly drives off his packaging. He drives along a tiled surface alongside [[Wideload (G1)|Wideload]] and [[Chase (G1)|Chase]]. A blonde boy pulls back on Chase, prompting him to perform some stop-motion stunt driving. Goldbug does the same, but also transforms to robot mode, followed by the other [[Throttlebot]]s. The smaller Aerialbots and [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]] are shown as vehicles again.
: ''Notes:'' Skydive and Fireflight are sporting upside-down Autobot symbols. Dead End and Breakdown are badly mistransformed. Most strangely of all, Silverbolt only makes a very brief appearance in jet form and is never shown as a robot. Neither the Aerialbots or Stunticons are shown to combine.

[[File:Greek Devastator Commercial.jpg|right|upright=1.1|thumb]]
* '''Excavator (Devastator) vs. Defensor''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I99tFnbXw1c]
: ''Animation:'' The early 90s CGI "circuitboard" logo seen in many European commercials from 1992 and 1993. Slowed-down footage of [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Powermaster Optimus Prime]] firing from that toy's commercial, and the Constructicons merging to form [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]]. Twice.
: ''Toy segment:'' Both combiners are shown in their combined forms, as well as their individual robot and vehicle modes. Devastator & Defensor then flail their arms at each other. Throughout the commercial a blonde boy is extolling the virtues of Devastator, while a brown-haired boy does the same for [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]].
: ''Notes:'' A branding consultant's nightmare, this ad starts with the 1992-93 European Transformers logo, then immediately shows the 1989-1991 logo, before finally showing the toys in the original mid-80s style packaging. Hasbro Greece clearly had very little in the way of animated footage to work with, as Optimus Prime is playing substitute for Defensor.

* '''Classics''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0iwpomUe-aI]
: ''Toy segment:'' The ad starts out with re-used footage from the GiG Decepticon clone commercial consisting of pans of computer control panels in a laboratory. It then switches to show a vehicle mode line-up of Prowl(?), Sideswipe, Mirage, Sunstreaker, Bluestreak, Red Tracks, and then Jazz and Smokescreen roll into view. Wheeljack, Sideswipe, Smokescreen and Tracks then rev up their engines for a race that Wheeljack seems to win, much to the delight of a young boy. Wheeljack transforms to robot mode to celebrate only to have the kid put him back in car mode. Thanks a lot squirt. Optimus Prime, in truck mode, drops out of the sky onto a road passing by a desert plateau and transforms. We then cut to PowerMaster Optimus Prime rolling through a different desert area before magically appearing in his box.
: ''Notes:'' This ad uses a real mishmash of footage and seems to be advertising the brand as a whole rather than any specific figure.

* '''Classics Dinobots''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wa_SI5lRomE]
: ''Animation:'' A flying asteroid and the Autobot Headmaster Nebulons climbing into their respective partners from the first US Headmaster toy ad.
: ''Toy segment:'' Front and side pans of Grimlock followed by Grimlock demonstrating his jaw articulation. Next the camera zooms in on Snarl, then Sludge. A kid looks on all three in their dinosaur modes before Grimlock and Sludge stop motion transform. This is followed by still images of each of the three in their dinosaur mode and a final pan down to the three toys in their dinosaur modes.

* '''Easter Candle Packs''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LhmwB8khGE]

: ''Toy segment:'' The theme and logo for [[Transformers brand|Transformers]], [[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]] and Greek fashion doll line Bibi-Bo, lead to a zoom out on a selection of Easter candle and toy packs for their respective toy lines. A girl and two boys receive the packs as presents and appear to enjoy them. The boys are so excited, they sing the theme song hooks for Transformers and G.I. Joe, respectively.
: ''Notes:'' The Transformers packs have Action Masters [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]], [[Skyfall (G1)|Skyfall]], and [[Banzai-Tron (G1)|Banzai-Tron]] included. The G.I. Joe packs have two figures each with [[Countdown (G.I. Joe)|Countdown]] & [[wikia:c:gijoe:H.E.A.T. Viper|H.E.A.T. Viper]], [[Hawk (G.I. Joe)|General Hawk]] & [[Fast Draw]] and [[B.A.T.]] & [[Bazooka (G.I. Joe)|Tiger Force Bazooka]] as the pairings.

* '''Skyquake & Thunder Clash''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTWKs3Q-ehk]

* '''Turbomasters & Rotorstorm vs Predators & Stalker''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUukGHI3Rjg]
: ''Animation:'' Electricity flowing through the intro circuit board, causing a the head of a CGI [[Overlord (Masterforce)|Overlord]] to snap to attention.
: ''Toy segment:'' [[Stalker (G1)|Stalker]] and the [[Predator (subgroup)|Predators]] run into [[Rotorstorm (G1)|Rotorstorm]] and the [[Turbo Master]]s on a barren desert road.
: ''Notes:'' Uses the same Predators versus Turbomasters footage as the French commercial with some parts of the Rotorstorm vs Stalker commercial added.

* '''Lightformers & Pyro vs. Trakkons & Clench''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnmZMknFTEU]
: ''Animation:'' A brief glimpse of [[Ramjet (G1)|Ramjet]] transforming to robot mode, as used in the title sequence of the [[Transformers: Generation 2 (cartoon)|Generation 2 cartoon]]. The circuit board CGI logo then appears.
: ''Toy segment:'' The [[Trakkon]]s are shown in their alt modes. A boy uses Fearswoop's viewfinder gimmick to locate and fire upon [[Ironfist (G1)|Ironfist]]. The Lightformers race into action in vehicle form, firing their weapons. [[Clench (G1)|Clench]] converts to robot form and fires his cannon. The CGI logo appears again before the different figures are shown in all possible configurations, and with their respective gimmicks. Finally, just in case you didn't catch it, the Transformers logo appears for a third time.
: ''Notes:'' Somewhat similar to the French commercial for these toys, but with added G2 animation, toy gimmickry on display, a different kid playing with the figures and the standard Euro G1.5-style commercial music.

* '''Stormtroopers vs Aquaspeeders''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iI_AWAO3jVU]
: ''Animation:'' Circuit board logo and Optimus Prime transforming and firing from the Transformers: Generation 2 cartoon intro.

: ''Notes:'' This ad names start times for [[Mexico]], Argentina and Venezuela.

===Brazil===
* '''Grendene Sandals''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STDx4wE18Oc]
: A boy wearing Grendene's Transformers sandals runs and jumps through an industrial yard full of oil drums. As he's hopping the last barrel we see him wearing a version of [[Meantime]] that the boy got with his sandals. He throws the toy across the yard only to have it magically land in robot mode and on its feet. The boy runs up onto a platform. Upon checking his watch he realizes it's time to go and grabs his backpack.
: ''Notes:'' Excerpts of Optimus Prime from the 2007 movie are interspersed. The Meantime toy that comes with the shoes is actually a knock-off, the most obvious sign being the fact that it's actually a functional watch unlike the real deal.

Soundwave plays back Ravage's findings, which include the specifications of the shoes. Apparently having decided he needed a new pair of kicks, Megatron leads an assault on the Autobot convoy. A live-action boy and girl, wearing the dress shoes, step out of Bumblebee. The children DEFEAT the Decepticons by repelling blasts from Megatron's [[fusion cannon]] using THE SOLES OF THEIR SHOES! That's right. Megatron, [[The Autobots' Secret Weapon|mighty warrior]] and leader of the Decepticons, is felled by FOOTWEAR. After showing Megatron that they have more sole, the Autobots arrive at their destination and start handing out shoes to the local school children. And there was much rejoicing.
: ''Notes:'' The animation models for the characters have some differences in proportions and details compared to their standard models. This is because the animation was not done by the [[Toei|animation studios]] [[AKOM|normally]] [[Unknown Filipino animation studio|contracted]] for such things. Appearing amongst the Decepticons are a Cyclonus-like robot and a bizarre Jazz-like robot with a green helmeted head, upper arms and hands and a new face. Hound is colored a rather bluish green.

: [[Ratchet (Animated)|Ratchet]] and [[Bumblebee (Animated)|Bumblebee]] appear from behind a pair of storage trailers. Megatron flies high over the city. All three transform to robot mode, with Megatron landing in front of the two Autobots. Then out of the sky comes a giant Happy Meal box. But what's in it? Is it a bird? Maybe a plane? Nah, it's Optimus! He transforms to robot mode before joining the other three. Power Ranger-style effects are used to show four kids each paired with a different toy, followed by a Power Ranger-style group shot. The four kids proceed to play with their toys.

* '''Revenge of the Fallen promo''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkjGQXroV-0]
: A collection of brief snippets from the movie with [[Linkin Park]]'s [[New Divide]] as background music and Chinese narration. The snippets include: meteors crashing in France, Bumblebee tumbling out of [[Sam Witwicky (Movie)|Sam's garage]], F-22 Raptors flying over the Pyramids, [[Jetfire (ROTF)|Jetfire]] leaning down to look at Sam, Sam and [[Mikaela Banes|Mikaela]] jumping rooftops, Sam dangling from a car, Mikaela crying, [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] transforming, Sam yelling "OPTIMUS!", Optimus getting tossed in the forest, Ravage sprinting, the Autobot biker girls in combined form, and [[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]] crashing through a bridge. The ad includes an end tag promoting [[M&M's]] ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen]]'' paperclips.

* '''TCL Cinema Screen & Dark of the Moon''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gab-qshXf-M]
: Scenes from [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Transformers: Dark of the Moon]] interspersed with various shots of the Cinema Screen.

* '''Kre-O Transformers''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-act3GtcTog]
: Kreon Optimus Prime and Bumblebee jump into a wrestling ring and have a match with the large Megatron build in front of a crowd of Kreons. Megatron begins to stalk the Autobots, only to have Optimus Prime reduce him to a pile of parts via a gun blast. Optimus and Bumblebee celebrate. Megatron tags in the large Starscream build.

===South Korea===

* '''Car Robots tennis shoes''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_GxeJZpKAk]
: ''Animation:'' [[Optimus Prime (RID)|Fire Convoy]] races into the city to fight [[Megatron (RID)|Gigatron]]. Fire Convoy then uses the shoes to power up his gun before blasting Gigatron.

* '''Micron Legend cartoon promo''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75UvMG7M1dY]
: ''Animation:'' Excerpts of the Cybertrons running in space, [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Convoy]] vs [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]], Convoy and Megatron combining with [[Jetfire (Armada)|Jetfire]] and [[Tidal Wave (Armada)|Tidal Wave]], and the kids standing with [[Perceptor (Armada)|Perceptor]] from ''[[Transformers: Armada (cartoon)|Micron Legend]]''.

===Philippines===
* '''Jollibee Beast Machines Kids Meal''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7fLlrnzI-Q]
: A boy in a green and white shirt with pale green face paint yells out the name of [[Optimus Primal]] while posing like a gorilla. This leads to a stop motion transformation of the toy. A second boy in a yellow and black striped shirt (and possibly sporting some yellow face paint) looks off into the distance and yells out the name of [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]]. This leads to the transformation of Cheetor's toy. A third kid, sporting a red shirt with a yellow collar and long sleeves and face paint on his cheeks resembling [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]]'s wings, yells Megatron's name. You can probably guess what ''that'' leads to. The three kids then turn around to see their dad holding three Jollibee kids meals. The kids sit down and enjoy their meals.

* '''Jollibee Transformers: Cybertron Robot Blasters Kids Meal''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3skuGdtDQM]
: A mother and father return home from Jollibee to find their son and daughter disguised as a stereo system and a stand with a portrait and lamp on top of it, respectively. They pop up in their "robot modes" and run towards their parents. This is followed by stop motion transformations of the toys. The final scene shows the mother and her kids enjoying their meals, when their dad's head pops up in the bottle of their watter cooler. Turns out it's not a mafia warning sign, but Dad deciding to create his own disguise.

[[File:Jollibee ROTF Kids Meal Commercial.jpg|right|upright=1.4|thumb]]
* '''Jollibee ROTF Kids Meal''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0M4GFmdWzM]
: A group of kids watches a comet as it crashes into the [[Earth]]. The various toys fly up from a Jollibee restaurant. Each toy is then shown stop-motion transforming in front of a promo shot of the corresponding character. The commercial ends with the kids eating their meals while the Transformers look on.
: ''Roll out and dig in.''

=== Taiwan ===
* '''Revenge of the Fallen M&M's''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrGep5crZU0]
: The first half of the ad is a very trimmed down version of the US one. The second half features special M&M's packages which open in a style similar to [[Shout! Factory]]'s Matrix of Leadership Edition box set, with an M&M at the center. There are three different packages, [[Red]] with [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], [[Yellow]] with [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], and [[Blue]] with [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]].

=== Malaysia ===
* '''KFC Revenge of the Fallen Chicky Meals''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jh-iqAHTgfU]
: A boy holds out his Starscream toy and yells for the Autobots. This prompts the nearby recliner, bookshelf and TV w/stand to transform into the boy's three friends who hold out their Autobot toys and yell "Autobots transform!". A shot of the Autobot toys' altmodes is followed by a four-way split screen of all the toys being transformed. The ad ends with a quick plug for the film and a static shot of the toys.

* '''KFC Revenge of the Fallen Chicky Meals 2''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3KvH158oEg]
: The Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Ironhide and (somehow) Starscream toys are all parked in front of a model KFC restaurant. All four are grabbed by kids and taken elsewhere to transform. Optimus Prime is driven around to another store front, Bumblebee is driven off a ramp, spun out and transformed in the middle of a three way intersection, [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] crashes through a brick wall near a different KFC and Starscream flies through the city before landing on a building in robot mode. The four kids then enjoy their Chicky Meals in front of the diorama.

=== Singapore ===
{{anchor|SingaporeAOE}}
* '''Nu Green Tea Transformers: Age of Extinction edition''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvsXOAQAj6o]
: Several clips from the movie are shown; A static image of Optimus Prime bursts through the front label of a Nu Green tea bottle leading into a shot of the entire assortment of limited edition bottles.

=== India ===
* '''Transformers Animated/Littlest Pet Shop Happy Meal''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUbXLLc_oXk]
: Three kids play with their Transformers Animated Happy Meal toys while a fourth kid does a voiceover explaining the toys: "Is it a robot? Is it a car? Toy cars that turn into robots. Now in every McDonald's Happy Meal get amazing Transformers and Littlest Pet Shop Toys!"
: ''Notes:'' Apparently, India has flying cars now and hasn't told the rest of the world. Or so it would seem, since the voice over states that the Transformers toys turn into cars despite the fact that the Megatron toy is shown and clearly is not a car. The background music used for the ad is the same as that used for the Hong Kong Happy Meal ad.

===Australia===
[[File:PetersUltraMagnusCommercialKids.jpg|right|upright=1.4|thumb]]
* '''[[Nestlé|Peters]] Ultra Magnus''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuKcJKkcL64]
: ''Animation:'' A frame for frame recreation of the scene of the Autobot cars transforming and flying past a transforming [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] which was used in multiple early US G1 toy ads. The Season 1 cartoon theme plays over it.
: [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] (the toy) pops out from behind a rocky wall on a barren planet. An explosion erupts in front of Ultra Magnus (the toy) revealing "the most mysterious Transformer ever", Peters' Ultra Magnus (the ice cream). A boy and a girl, in costumes that can only be described as Optimus Prime and [[Elita One]] turned into the children of human royalty (a la [[Only Human]]), enjoy their treats' chocolate ice cream bar "modes". Upon the completion of their mastication, the ice cream bars turn into their other "modes": bubblegum stick and caramel stick. The sticks appear in Ultra Magnus' (the toy) hands as the narrator tells us: "Every Peters Ultra Magnus is a new Transformers adventure, because you never know what it will become." The girl turns to the camera and says "More than meets the eye!" in a (dubbed in) demonic voice.
: ''Notes:'' The stop-motion toy segment is very reminiscent of [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ads for Ultra Magnus. While the models in the animated segment are drawn pretty closely to the real deal, the coloring of the models differs in varying amounts. [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]]'s waist, shins and forearms become red, while Prime's face plate becomes blue and the yellow disappears from his waist. Then on the far sides of the spectrum, [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] is nearly spot-on with his shins and thighs swapping colors. But [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]] trades in his white for yellow! The version of the Season 1 cartoon theme that plays over this segment is also a re-creation.

* '''Targetmasters''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3HQWuTVZ3o]
: ''Notes:'' A re-dubbed version of the US [[Targetmaster]] ad. Yes, re-dubbed. The song, [[Victor Caroli]]'s narration, and even Ultra Magnus and Galvatron's lines have been rerecorded by other actors for this ad. As a result, Galvatron sounds more like a generic Autobot than a fearsome Decepticon leader.

* '''TCL & Transformers: Dark of the Moon''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aB-r_81q9vs]
: A guy walking in a stark white office space sits down and puts on his 3D glasses to watch Dark of the Moon. The action starts out on the TV but shoots out to the street below a large window in the office. Several people, including the initial viewer, gather around the window to see the action unfold. The action then returns to the TV as the guy notices part of [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]'s armor on the floor.

* '''Foxtel in HD''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEzR-KgKSDU]
: ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Transformers: Dark of the Moon]]'' is one of several entertainment properties used to demonstrate the difference between standard definition TV and Foxtel HD. Scenes from the movie are contrasted with toys being played with in a diorama of a destroyed city. With actual fire.
: ''Notes:'' The toys being played with are [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Ultimate|Dark of the Moon Ultimate Optimus Prime]] and two Exkaiser bootlegs.

* '''[[Transformers: Prime (franchise)|Transformers: Prime]]/[[My Little Pony]] Happy Meal''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PKkaFaxfY0]
: A [[McDonald's]] Happy Meal box happily jumps rope. Another Happy Meal box walks up, tosses the jump rope away and uses the first Happy Meal box to jump rope in reverse.
: ''Skip into McDonald's for this month's Happy Meal with a cool Transformers: Prime or cute My Little Pony toy.
: ''Notes:'' This ad also aired in [[New Zealand]].

Asukasboy:

This is the page for the '''TFWiki.net Transformers Hall of Fame Auditions''' entries. The rules are as follows:

#You must pick your top five ''Transformers'' characters, from any era. They must actually '''be''' Transformers; sorry, but no humans, non-Transformer aliens, non-Transformer robots, or anything else of the sort are being considered for the Hall of Fame. Any votes for such entities will '''not''' be tabulated. It is the sole discretion of the contest organizers to decide what does and does not count.
#Take your top five list and '''put it in alphabetical order'''. Order of preference does not matter. Feel free to denote the character's franchise of origin, although these distinctions may or may not figure into the final results.
#You '''cannot''' vote for a specific version of '''Bumblebee, Dinobot, Grimlock, Ironhide, Jazz, Megatron, Optimus Prime, Ratchet, Shockwave, Soundwave, Starscream, Waspinator, or Wheeljack.''' They've already been inducted!
#However, '''you CAN vote''' for '''''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (franchise)|Beast Wars]]'' [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] or [[Optimus Primal]]'''! Hasbro considers them separate!
#Only one entry per user.

Please put your characters of choice and user name below in the following manner:

==Synopsis==
[[Image:Autopuzzle and deceptiquiz p24.jpg|left|150px|thumb|Think very carefully about your answer to question 1.]]''The Transformers AutoPuzzle and DeceptiQuiz Book'' encourages readers to "programme [their] braincircuits for a megaload of laserpowered puzzles", and "test [their] knowledge of the Transformers' world". A wide variety of different puzzles and quizzes are provided, the vast majority of which are illustrated using package art of Transformers figures available at the time, as well as some original illustrations.

Some of the puzzles are traditional fare, such as spot the difference, connect the dots, and crosswords. Others require the user to demonstrate pre-existing knowledge of the Transformers universe, for example identifying a line-up of Autobots from a series of headshots (with no clues given), or being able to explain "Who or what is [[Aunty|Auntie]]?"
[[Image:Autopuzzle and deceptiquiz p57.jpg|right|150px|thumb|The monologue Ramjet delivered in blackface at the Friar's Club roast angered many.]]
== Notes ==
*As with other books produced in the UK during Generation 1, such as the [[Ladybird Books|Ladybird]] and [[Corgi Books|Corgi]] titles, all of the original art produced for this book is based off the toy designs rather than animation models.
*Also in the same vein as those other books, this follows Hasbro UK's take on the Transformers universe, though this is much more evident here. All of the characters featured in this book are those available in the UK in 1985, so the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]], [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]], [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] and the like don't even merit a mention. Most notably the book repeatedly refers to the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] as a four-robot team, omitting [[Swoop (G1)|Swoop]] (this is even a trivia question).
*Most of the information presented is surprisingly accurate, though a few errors did slip in. A crossword puzzle lists one of the Autobots as "[[Snarl (G1)|Snare]]". [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]] is said to be "[[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave's]] main spy cassette" for some reason, and [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]] is listed as being a purple jet rather than a black one.
*In the back pages of the book a second publication from Armada Paperbacks, ''The Transformers Data File'', is advertised. Based on the description, this seems to be a collection of Tech Specs for various characters.
*The answers for the DeceptiQuiz II trivia shown above, as provided in the back of the book, are as follows:(1) Four - [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]], [[Slag (G1)|Slag]], [[Snarl (G1)|Snarl]] and [[Sludge (G1)|Sludge]] (2) Optimus Prime (3) Reconnaissance and Communications (4) Red (5) Car (6) [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]].
*The missing numbers in <s>Ted Danson</s> [[Ramjet (G1)|Ramjet's]] Cross number puzzle shown above are as follows: 30 x 2 = 60; 10 - 8 = 2; 40 - 10 = 30; 30 + 10 = 40; 2 + 8 = 10; 60 / 2 = 30

Asukasboy: Added another Greek commercial, for Throttlebots, Aerialbots & Stunticons.

{{suite}}
[[Image:UK Autobot Cars Commercial.jpg|250px|right|thumb|]]
The [[United States of America|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.}}

==Europe==
===United Kingdom===

[[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.
: ''Toy segment:'' Two kids play with Optimus Prime, all of the pre-movie [[Autobot Cars]] and at least four [[Seeker (body-type)|Seekers]]: [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]], [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]], [[Thundercracker (G1)|Thundercracker]], and [[Ramjet (G1)|Ramjet]]. 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?]]
* '''Megatron''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20FDEi6Wsxk&#t=2m45s](short clip)

: ''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!''

* '''Transformers: The Movie''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0Vzgj0Fmio]
: ''Animation:'' Various clips from Transformers: The Movie are shown. One-upping the US "Does Prime die?" commercial, the announcer tell us that this is our chance to "see Optimus Prime and Megatron in their final battle". We are also promised "super new Autobot heroes" (Rodimus is shown), and "evil new Decepticons" (Galvatron & Unicron are showcased).
: ''The ultimate Transformers adventure. ''Transformers: The Movie'' - opens December 12th!''

* '''Autobot Heroes - Rodimus Prime and Wreck-Gar''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IA28zT6vqEw] (French audio)

Transforming to robot mode and still accompanied by Goldbug, they stare down the Combaticon combiner.

: ''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. The earlier commercials are credited to the agencies Reeve Robertshaw Needham / [[Griffin Bacal]], whereas those from 1988 are produced by Griffin Bacal only. 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:'' 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?"

[[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.

: ''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.

The brave shopkeeper ducks down behind the desk, his head only popping up to see what's happening while the kid just looks on excitedly. The giftsets are shown with a ton of [[decoy]]s in front. The decoys' customization potential is demonstrated by showing blue paint applied to the chest of an Optimus Prime decoy.

: ''Toy segment:'' The same footage of Skyquake firing upon Thunder Clash used in the French commercial, but with the power guitar "robots in disguise" theme music used in the UK during this period, and a spinning Hasbro logo. Whereas the French version used a child narrator throughout, an adult one is used here.

* '''Rotorstorm & Stalker''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8V5b49OB-o]
: ''Toy segment:'' Same footage of [[Rotorstorm]] and the [[Turbo Master]]s seen in the French commercial, but trimmed down from 23 seconds to 16.

: ''Animation:'' A mish-mash of footage from the first US comic commercial and Optimus Prime's US ad.
: ''Toy segment:'' Relatively brief footage of Optimus Prime being transformed, again from his US ad.
: ''Notes:'' Differs from the original commercials in that at the end, the Transformers logo flies away.

===Poland===

===Greece===
* '''Stunticons, Aerialbots & Throttlebots''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skXA_P4Bdnc]
: ''Toy segment:'' The four small Aerialbots fly in, followed by Silverbolt. Air Raid and Fireflight do some stop-motion transformation followed by Slingshot and Skydive. A freckle-faced boy cheers as Drag Strip and Dead End speed along in car form. More stop-motion as Motormaster goes from truck to robot. Dead End and Breakdown make some attempt to follow his lead, followed by Wildrider and Drag Strip. Goldbug is shown on his backing card, but quickly drives off his packaging. He drives along a tiled surface alongside Wide Load and Chase. A blonde boy pulls back on Chase, prompting him to perform some stop-motion stunt driving. Goldbug does the same, but also transforms to robot mode, followed by the other Throttlebots. The smaller Aerialbots and Stunticons are shown as vehicles again.
: ''Animation:'' The changing block-by-block electrified logo used in US commercials circa 1989.
: ''Notes:'' Skydive and Fireflight are sporting upside-down Autobot symbols. Dead End and Breakdown are badly mistransformed. Most strangely of all, Silverbolt only makes a very brief appearance in jet form and is never shown as a robot. Neither the Aerialbots or Stunticons are shown to combine.

* '''Excavator (Devastator) vs. Defensor''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I99tFnbXw1c]
: ''Animation:'' The early 90s CGI "circuitboard" logo seen in many European commercials from 1992 and 1993. Slowed-down footage of Powermaster Prime firing from that toy's commercial, and the Constructicons merging to form Devastator. Twice.
: ''Toy segment:'' Both combiners are shown in their combined forms, as well as their individual robot and vehicle modes. Devastator & Defensor then flail their arms at each other. Throughout the commercial a blonde boy is extolling the virtues of Devastator, while a brown-haired boy does the same for Defensor.
: ''Notes:'' A branding consultant's nightmare, this ad starts with the 1992-93 European Transformers logo, then immediately shows the 1989-1991 logo, before finally showing the toys in the original mid-80s style packaging. Hasbro Greece clearly had very little in the way of animated footage to work with, as Optimus Prime is playing substitute for Defensor.

* '''Lightformers & Pyro vs. Trakkons & Clench''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnmZMknFTEU]
: ''Animation:'' A brief glimpse of Ramjet transforming to robot mode, as used in the title sequence of the Generation 2 cartoon. The circuit board CGI logo then appears.
: ''Toy segment:'' The Trakkons are shown in their alt modes. A boy uses Fearswoop's viewfinder gimmick to locate and fire upon Ironfist. The Lightformers race into action in vehicle form, firing their weapons. Clench converts to robot form and fires his cannon. The CGI logo appears again before the different figures are shown in all possible configurations, and with their respective gimmicks. Finally, just in case you didn't catch it, the Transformers logo appears for a third time.
: ''Notes:'' Somewhat similar to the French commercial for these toys, but with added G2 animation, toy gimmickry on display, a different kid playing with the figures and the standard Euro G1.5-style commercial music.

==Latin America==
===Multiple countries===

===Brazil===
* '''Grendene Sandals''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STDx4wE18Oc]
: A boy wearing Grendene's Transformers sandals runs and jumps through an industrial yard full of oil drums. As he's hopping the last barrel we see him wearing a version of [[Meantime]] that the boy got with his sandals. He throws the toy across the yard only to have it magically land in robot mode and on its feet. The boy runs up onto a platform. Upon checking his watch he realizes it's time to go and grabs his backpack.
: ''Notes:'' Excerpts of Optimus Prime from the 2007 movie are interspersed. The Meantime toy that comes with the shoes is actually a knock-off, the most obvious sign being the fact that it's actually a functional watch unlike the real deal.

===Chile===

*'''Autobot cars plus Thrust and Dirge''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGj8B5xNEno&#t=0m29s]

[[Image:De_Batas_Jazz-like_Decepticon.jpg|180px|right|thumb|]]
*'''Transformers de Bata''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fG77AH_belA]

: ''Animation:'' [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]] sees the Autobots delivering a shipment of children's dress shoes and reports back to Megatron and [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]]. Soundwave plays back Ravage's findings, which include the specifications of the shoes. Apparently having decided he needed a new pair of kicks, Megatron leads an assault on the Autobot convoy. A live-action boy and girl, wearing the dress shoes, step out of Bumblebee. The children DEFEAT the Decepticons by repelling blasts from Megatron's [[fusion cannon]] using THE SOLES OF THEIR SHOES! That's right. Megatron, [[The Autobots' Secret Weapon|mighty warrior]] and leader of the Decepticons, is felled by FOOTWEAR. After showing Megatron that they have more sole, the Autobots arrive at their destination and start handing out shoes to the local school children. And there was much rejoicing.
: ''Notes:'' The animation models for the characters have some differences in proportions and details compared to their standard models. This is because the animation was not done by the [[Toei|animation studios]] [[AKOM|normally]] [[Unknown Filipino animation studio|contracted]] for such things. Appearing amongst the Decepticons are a Cyclonus-like robot and a bizarre Jazz-like robot with a green helmeted head, upper arms and hands and a new face. Hound is colored a rather bluish green.

: ''Toy segment:'' Several children are shown playing with various Transformer toys before zooming in on a kid and his mother playing with Sureshot.
: ''Notes:'' This advertised a promotion wherein you would receive a free poster, sticker or card by buying one the above products. Stickers are known to have come with the margarine.

Asukasboy: Added two Greek G1.5 commercials.

{{suite}}
[[Image:UK Autobot Cars Commercial.jpg|250px|right|thumb|]]
The [[United States of America|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.}}

:''Notes:'' Optimus is referred to as being the Autobots' "battle headquarters" as well as their leader.
: ''Optimus Prime, we need you!''

: ''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.

: ''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!''

* '''Transformers: The Movie''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0Vzgj0Fmio]
: ''Animation:'' Various clips from Transformers: The Movie are shown. One-upping the US "Does Prime die?" commercial, the announcer tell us that this is our chance to "see Optimus Prime and Megatron in their final battle". We are also promised "super new Autobot heroes" (Rodimus is shown), and "evil new Decepticons" (Galvatron & Unicron are showcased).
: ''The ultimate Transformers adventure. ''Transformers: The Movie'' - opens December 12th!''

* '''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!]]

* '''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. The earlier commercials are credited to the agencies Reeve Robertshaw Needham / [[Griffin Bacal]], whereas those from 1988 are produced by Griffin Bacal only. 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.

: ''Animation:'' Extended piece of animation from the US Powermaster Prime commercial.
: ''Toy segment:'' Powermaster Prime's various modes and his interaction with the accompanying Hi-Q figure are showcased.

* '''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]

* '''Jumpstarters''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JO4a_mZCpY]
: ''Notes:'' Footage is the same as the US Jumpstarters commercial, but edited down from 30 seconds to 20 and minus the Hasbro "hammer" logo at its conclusion.

* '''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/]

Otherwise, this is a dubbed and edited down version of the American ad. The voice box clips have been dubbed as well, though Megatron's is merely the same line spoken with a French accent.

: ''Toy segment:'' Relatively brief footage of Optimus Prime being transformed, again from his US ad.

: ''Toy segment:'' Both combiners are shown in their combined forms, as well as their individual robot and vehicle modes. Devastator & Defensor then flail their arms at each other. Throughout the commercial a blonde boy is extolling the virtues of Devastator, while a brown-haired boy does the same for Defensor.
: ''Notes:'' A branding consultant's nightmare, this ad starts with the 1992-93 European Transformers logo, then immediately shows the 1989-1991 logo, before finally showing the toys in the original mid-80s style packaging. Hasbro Greece clearly had very little in the way of animated footage to work with, as Optimus Prime is playing substitute for Defensor.

* '''Lightformers & Pyro vs. Trakkons & Clench''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnmZMknFTEU]
: ''Animation:'' A brief glimpse of Ramjet transforming to robot mode, as used in the title sequence of the Generation 2 cartoon. The circuit board CGI logo then appears.
: ''Toy segment:'' The Trakkons are shown in their alt modes. A boy uses Fearswoop's viewfinder gimmick to locate and fire upon Ironfist. The Lightformers race into action in vehicle form, firing their weapons. Clench converts to robot form and fires his cannon. The CGI logo appears again before the different figures are shown in all possible configurations, and with their respective gimmicks. Finally, just in case you didn't catch it, the Transformers logo appears for a third time.
: ''Notes:'' Somewhat similar to the French commercial for these toys, but with added G2 animation, toy gimmickry on display, a different kid playing with the figures and the standard Euro G1.5-style commercial music.

Upon checking his watch he realizes it's time to go and grabs his backpack.
: ''Notes:'' Excerpts of Optimus Prime from the 2007 movie are interspersed. The Meantime toy that comes with the shoes is actually a knock-off, the most obvious sign being the fact that it's actually a functional watch unlike the real deal.

Soundwave plays back Ravage's findings, which include the specifications of the shoes. Apparently having decided he needed a new pair of kicks, Megatron leads an assault on the Autobot convoy. A live-action boy and girl, wearing the dress shoes, step out of Bumblebee. The children DEFEAT the Decepticons by repelling blasts from Megatron's [[fusion cannon]] using THE SOLES OF THEIR SHOES! That's right. Megatron, [[The Autobots' Secret Weapon|mighty warrior]] and leader of the Decepticons, is felled by FOOTWEAR. After showing Megatron that they have more sole, the Autobots arrive at their destination and start handing out shoes to the local school children. And there was much rejoicing.
: ''Notes:'' The animation models for the characters have some differences in proportions and details compared to their standard models. This is because the animation was not done by the [[Toei|animation studios]] [[AKOM|normally]] [[Unknown Filipino animation studio|contracted]] for such things. Appearing amongst the Decepticons are a Cyclonus-like robot and a bizarre Jazz-like robot with a green helmeted head, upper arms and hands and a new face. Hound is colored a rather bluish green.

Talk:The Transformers (European toyline)

2010-12-21T23:01:55Z

Asukasboy:

When were the classic green-and-purple Constructicons (in original packaging) released in the UK? I believe it was around 1990-91, but don't know for certain. There were also some Minibots that showed up around this time, again in original packaging: Bumblebee, Seaspray, Beachcomber and possibly others. These might just have been rediscovered stock from 1985/6, but the Constructicons were only available in the UK at this time so they must have been a release of some kind.--[[User:Tribimat|Tribimat]] 14:01, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
:Those might have been the imported Mexican toys that plagued Europe in 1989.--[[User:Nevermore|Nevermore]] 19:20, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

::The US Constructicons DID come out in the UK at that time with a host of other G1 toys with the Chinese stickers in the corner. Constructicons, Combaticons, Protectobots and several (possibly all) Minibots were being sold alongside the G1/G1.5 stuff in 1991-93 in original G1 packaging at major stores like Woolworths. There may have been other figures too but I didn't see them. --[[User:Specimen-17|Specimen-17]] 13:10, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Started making this page something other than "Toys We Never Got In The USA". Will try to keep details about language variations as short as possible.

I consider a toy "confirmed" released in a specific version when I have seen it in packaging, or at least the corresponding instructions. Exceptions are combiner teams where I haven't seen all members (Hasbro didn't start making a habit out of releasing incomplete combiner teams until Energon), or Italian Astrotrain, where Blitzwing being named "Triplex Due" makes it pretty reasonable that Triplex Uno (Astrotrain) also existed.--[[User:Nevermore|Nevermore]] 23:01, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

I'll have to remember next time I go to my parents' house but I'm pretty damn sure my Skystalker came in Italian packaging, which if nothing else, has the I-names for some of the other MM bases. (Countdown's was... Uranius, I think. One of 'em was definitely Uranius.) [[User:Hooper X|-hx]] 19:40, 30 November 2006 (UTC), got it sealed for $40 at BC... '01, maybe?

A few things. There was no Gen1 Classics version of Slag? I remember getting all four land Dinobots (poor Swoop) as Classics -- of course my memory isn't evidence... and he might have only seen the light of day in Australia, anyway. Secondly -- Windmill? In what way does he resemble Ultra Magnus? And where does the rumour about Turbo Master come from? Seems like bollocks and speculation based on the design drawings in Generations: Deluxe, to me. --Jhiaxus.

Between this article and the one on Euro Classics, I'm really starting to wonder if someone at Hasbro thought that Australia was in Europe... --[[User:Ratbat|Ratbat]] 03:47, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

==Scandinavia==
Anyone want to take a stab at adding some info about the Scandinavian countries to this article?--[[User:TVsGrady|TVsGrady]] 23:09, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

== Japanese mini-franchises ==

I've mocked up a central page for the Japanese mini-franchises at [[User: Khajidha/sandbox]]. It would serve as a main page to place in the franchise nav-box. I'd like to hear any input. [[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 21:16, 4 April 2010 (EDT)

== Commercials as proof? ==

In my efforts to construct the page for [[Commercial/International|international commercials]], I listed several ads that could be considered proof that certain toys had European releases. After all, why produce and release a commercial for toys you aren't selling? The ads in question would be the [http://www.ina.fr/pub/culture-et-loisirs/video/PUB3784153101/hasbro-transformers-action-masters-jouet-vehicule-figurine-combat.fr.html French ad for Action Master Vehicles] and the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQwnSrnGxOc German ad for Action Master Optimus Prime]. Since they appear to include brand new footage for Optimus Prime and Megatron, I think we could safely add those as confirmed releases. Not so sure about the other Action Master vehicles though. --[[User:Tigerpaw28|Tigerpaw28]] 13:10, 2 August 2010 (EDT)

== UK release ==

The initial release of Transformers here in the UK was in 1984. Argos were selling Optimus Prime, Autobot cars and Decepticon 'strike planes' (Seekers) in their autumn/winter 1984 catalogue (I got Optimus Prime and Sideswipe for Christmas in 1984) and Decepticon cassettes were available in WHSmith (I got them up just after Christmas in December 1984). [[User:J'mie|J'mie]] 14:03, 28 August 2010 (EDT)

:This is very true. The UK comic launched in mid-September '84, and given that TFs appear in the [http://www.flickr.com/photos/16628151@N03/2958326804/in/faves-66347557@N00/ 1984 Autumn/Winter Argos] they would have to have been available by at least August of that year to be on-sale upon its launch. I've added a 1984 section just for the UK range, and also expanded the 1985 section to document the toys released and unreleased in that year.

:Regarding yellow & red Cliffjumpers & Bumblebees. I know CJ was definitely available in both colours in 1984 and 1985 as I've owned both rub-and pre-rub yellow versions, and they seem common enough. It seems a reasonable extrapolation that the same is true of Bumblebee, since they would be sourced from the same old Microchange toys that were used for the US, but did anyone ever see or own a red Bumblebee that was bought at UK retail? I've never even seen them on eBay UK, nor Bumblejumper for that matter.

:Finally, as far as I can tell Cejii Revel Prime is a weird aberration compared to the rest of the 1984/85 toys. If you check his trailer he's not just a repackaged Takara-produced toy, the figure itself is actually stamped "MADE IN FRANCE". I've never seen any other year 1 TFs with this distinction, or the corresponding change to the packaging. Cejii Revel were already selling the figure as part of [http://1501bc.com/pretf/fr_diaclone.html their own Diaclone line], so I guess they were making Convoy figs in-house for whatever reason, and Hasbro struck some sort of deal to use what they'd produced as TF Primes.

:This must have cut both ways, with TFs being sold as Ceji Revel Diaclones. In a Poundstretcher in Glasgow in the Summer of '88 I purchased a [http://www.toyarchive.com/Diaclone/Joustra/JoustraGearsMOSC.html "Diaclone" Gears on a Ceji Joustra card]. As you can see in the photograph, he has Autobot stickers! There must have been some "grace period" where Ceji Revel / Joustra Diaclone toys and Hasbro Transformers were being produced side by side.--[[User:Asukasboy|Asukasboy]] 18:01, 21 December 2010 (EST)

The Transformers (European toyline)

2010-12-21T21:56:00Z

Asukasboy: Added a 1984 section for the UK range, and a full list of UK 1985 releases.

{{nav-G1}}

Originally, European countries got the same Transformers toys [[Hasbro]] had previously released in the USA, although different countries got different toys - and sometimes, the toys sported noticeable differences from their US counterparts. Initially, various sub-contracted companies were responsible for releasing the toys in the individual European countries (which involved language variations on the packaging), but over time, they were either bought out by Hasbro or simply dropped in favor of a more and more unified European market.
After [[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]] ended in the US, the line continued in Europe until it was renamed into ''[[Generation 2 (European toyline)|Generation 2]]'' in 1994.

==1984 (UK only)==
===Notes===

A number of the toys from series 1 were available in the UK in 1984. Given that the [[The Transformers (Marvel UK)|Marvel UK comic]] launched in September of that year (complete with advertisements touting that the toys were "In the shops now!") it seems likely that they were on-sale by mid-summer at the latest, only a few months after the line's US launch. The assortment names used below are those seen in the leaflet which accompanied the 1984 range.

'''Robot Cars'''

* [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]]
* [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]]

{{note|Cliffjumper and Bumblebee were both available in red and yellow in 1984, and again in 1985, this time with rubsigns. Cliffjumper appears in yellow in the 1984 catalogue, but this was corrected for the following year's photos.}}

Little is known about the earliest toys released in the UK. The common consensus is that they supposedly came in English-only US packaging. Recounts of which toys were and which weren't available in the UK vary depending on who you ask. A surprising omission from the initial wave of 1984 toys was Megatron, whose absence on the shelves was noted in the letters page of the [[Marvel UK]] comic. Probably the most well-known UK release is an (almost) unique version of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]] [http://www.tf-1.com/articles/eurous_frame.php?art=redfoot with red instead of blue feet]. The packaging is almost identical to the US version, but sports an additional copyright note linking this release to Ceji Revell (misspelled as "Revel"), which was owned by the same company as Joustra. It's possible that the other initial UK releases were also distributed by Ceji, but at the current point of time, there's no evidence supporting this theory. Also of note was the line's UK subtitle initially being "''Warrior'' Robots in Disguise", and this was seen on much of the early ancillary merchandise, including the UK comic.

==1985==
===Notes===
The ''Transformers'' toyline officially started in most European countries in 1985. It should be noted, though, that various European companies had already released licensed versions of [[Takara]]'s ''[[Diaclone]]'' and ''[[Microman]]'' toys domestically prior to that ("Trasformer" by [[GiG]] in Italy; "Diaclone" by [[Joustra]] in France, Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands), some of which had already sported characteristics directly lifted from Hasbro's Transformers toys (some of GiG's "Trasformer" versions of the Autobot Cars sported color schemes originally conceived by Hasbro; Joustra's versions of the [[Mini Vehicle|Minicars]] already sported Autobot logos). But it wasn't until 1985 that Transformers toys were officially introduced to the various European markets under that very name.

===UK===
All of the toys introduced in 1984 were still available in 1985, now with the addition of rubsigns. They were joined by the figures that had initially been omitted, namely the remaining Autobot cars and Megatron, who was reported by Hasbro to be available from around Easter. The line was expanded further by the introduction of the second-year Autobot Cars and Decepticon Jets, as well as the Insecticons, Jumpstarters, and Triple Changers.

For the first time however, numerous toys were left out of the UK range, never to see official release, perhaps most notably Swoop, Shockwave and Blaster. The Constructicons would appear as a semi-official import release in the early 1990s and then again repainted in yellow in 1992. Some of the non-Takara molds were likely to have been dropped due to licensing arrangements ([[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]], for example, was available as part of the competing Grandstand Convertors line around this time under the name of Omegatron). Jetfire would be held-over until the 1986 range.

===Germany, France, the Netherlands, Belgium and Spain===
The earliest toys released in continental Europe (minus Italy) were distributed by [[Milton Bradley]], which was in the process of being taken over by Hasbro at that point. There's no solid evidence that all the MB toys were available in all these countries, but the packaging is sporting the four languages German, French, Dutch and Spanish. Therefore, MB covered the markets where Joustra's Diaclone toys were previously available, with the addition of Spain.

[http://www.reocities.com/futuristgroup/veurolist.html Known MB releases] are:

'''Autobot Leaders'''

* [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]]
* [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]]

{{note|Optimus Prime was originally not released by MB. A [http://www.reocities.com/futuristgroup/veuro2.html Dutch manufacturer of kitchen utensils claimed ownership of the "Optimus" trademark], and as a result, MB held back the release of Optimus Prime in Europe until the dispute had been settled and initially marketed Jetfire as the Autobot leader instead.}}

'''Autobot Cars'''

* [[Prowl (G1)/toys|Prowl]]
* [[Tracks (G1)|Tracks]]

{{note|Tracks was originally available in red rather than blue, based on the ''Diaclone'' version. Hasbro re-released Tracks in blue a year later, but due to the toy sporting a different color than its animated counterpart, red Tracks was selling poorly (which in turn later resulted in the toy being a much sought-after rarity). Also, red Tracks was the only Autobot Car in MB packaging sporting the 1985 US battle scene on the back of the box rather than the 1984 one, thus indicating that he might have been one of the last Transformers released in MB packaging.}}

* [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]]
* [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]]
* [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]]
* [[Jazz (G1)/toys|Jazz]]

{{note|The box front of MB's version of Jazz sported an additional "Porsche" remark after his name. The significance of this is still unknown by this point.}}
{{note|In addition to Optimus Prime, none of the Autobot Cars were featured in the first MB catalog either.}}

===Italy===
[[GiG]] ("Geegh", but sometimes misspelled "GiGi" by non-Italian people) had originally released toys based on their Diaclone license from Takara under the name "[[Trasformer]]", occasionally sporting color schemes only found on Hasbro's Transformers versions. Eventually, Hasbro cracked down on GiG and made them acquire a second license from them as well. In 1985, GiG launched their own version of the Transformers line, with the toys often sporting original Italian names (for example, the Autobots became "Autorobots", and the Decepticons "Distructors"). In addition to the official "Transformers" logo, a small remainder of the old "Trasformer" logo would remain on the packaging until 1988.

Known GiG ''Transformers'' releases are:

'''Autorobot Leader'''

* Commander (Optimus Prime)

{{note|A [http://www.reocities.com/futuristgroup/vprime6.html later variant] of Commander (Optimus Prime) sported plastic wheels instead of rubber tires and plastic instead of [[die-cast]] feet, similar to the US KB Toys exclusive variant of Ultra Magnus.}}

'''Autorobot Cars'''

* Tigre (Jazz)
* Freccia ([[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]])
* Lince (Sunstreaker)
* Mistero (Mirage)

{{note|Whereas Mirage sported "Citanes" decals everywhere else in the world, [http://www.reocities.com/futuristgroup/vmirage.html GiG released their "Mistero" version with "Ligier" decals instead] - originally as factory-applied stickers over the "Citanes" tampos, later with actual "Ligier" tampos.}}

* Canguro ([[Hound (G1)|Hound]])
* Saetta (Wheeljack)
* Giaguaro ([[Red Alert (G1)|Red Alert]])

{{note|The Italian name for Red Alert was changed from "Giaguaro" to "Alert" in 1987.}}

* [[Inferno (G1)|Inferno]]
* Gancio ([[Grapple]])

{{note|The Autorobot Cars sported unique "safety" missiles with large rubber boppers instead of the individual missiles the versions released everywhere else had.}}

'''Dinorobots (Dinobots)'''

* Tiran (Grimlock)
* Reptilo (Swoop)

'''Distructor Triple Changers'''

* Triplex Uno (Astrotrain)
* Triplex Due (Blitzwing)

'''Distructor Planes'''

* Astrum (Starscream)
* Vampiro (Thundercracker)
* Corvo ([[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]])

{{note|Similar to Thundercracker being available in a Starscream box from MB, GiG released "Astrum", "Vampiro" and "Corvo" in a multi-purpose box sporting all three characters' names and tech specs.}}

'''Escavators (Constructicons)'''

* Scudo (Bonecrusher)
* Braccio (Scavenger)
* Ringhio (Scrapper)
* Rostro (Hook)
* Macigno (Long Haul)
* Rollo (Mixmaster)
* Devastator (giftset)

{{note|The Constructicons came in small boxes based on the Takara versions, rather than on cards like the versions released everywhere else in the world. The boxes even sported numbers from "31" to "36", like the Takara versions did, and omitted the "Hasbro" logo on the packaging in favor of a "Takara" logo. The first of many examples of the liberties resulting from GiG's unique relationship with Takara.}}

The Mini-Cars/Mini-Vehicles were apparently never released by GiG. Any Italian names for their characters are based on the Italian dub of the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|animated series]].

===Greece===
A company named [[El Greco]] released a small number of Transformers toys to the Greek market. The Autobots were called Αυτορομπότ (Autorobots). The only known El Greco releases include seven Autobot Mini-Vehicles and two combiner giftsets. The cards the toys were available on were based on the Hasbro cards and sported Hasbro logos in addition to the "El Greco" logo.

Known 1985 releases are:

'''Classic Heroic (Autobot Mini-Vehicles)'''

* Αχτύπητος (Ahtipitos = Warpath)
* Κυρίαρχος (Kiriarhos = Cosmos)
* Αγγελιοφόρος (Agelioforos = Beachcomber)
* Εγκέφαλος (Egefalos = [[Brawn (G1)|Βrawn]])
* Γίγαντας (Gigantas = [[Huffer (G1)|Huffer]])
* Κεραυνός (Keravnos = Powerglide)
* Θαλασσόλυκος (Thalassolikos = Seaspray)

==1986==
===UK, France, the Netherlands, Belgium and Spain===
Presumably, Transformers didn't sell well in Germany in 1985, as German was dropped as a language from the packaging until Generation 2. Instead, Hasbro (who had finished taking over MB) consolidated the UK market with the rest of Europe (except for Italy, again). The 1986 releases that were now available in packaging with "Hasbro" rather than "MB" logos sported the four languages English, French, Dutch and Spanish (the order between English and French could occasionally be swapped).
Confirmed European Hasbro releases from 1986 are:

'''Autobot Leader'''

* Optimus Prime

{{note|Being a prominent character, Optimus Prime was re-released in Hasbro packaging. Additionally, a variant of this Hasbro Optimus Prime has been confirmed released in France that also sports red feet, just like the version from Ceji previously released in the UK. Reportedly, there are slight differences between the two red footed Optimus Primes.}}

'''Autobot Mini-Vehicles'''

* Bumblebee
* Wheelie
* Hubcap
* Swerve
* Outback
* Pipes

{{note|Along with the regular Pipes, a [http://www.toyarchive.com/Transformers/VarBlueWhiteHuffer.html European variant] (dubbed "Puffer" by fans) existed which was actually Huffer's original mold in Pipes' colors. (This is not to be confused with the Mexican version of Pipes, which was also the original Huffer mold but sported slightly different colors.)}}

'''Autobot Vehicles (Autobot Cars)'''

* Tracks

{{note|Because MB's red version of Tracks proved to be unpopular, the toy was re-released in blue, just like the US version. Since he is the only one of the Autobot Cars in European Hasbro packaging that sports the 1985 US battle scene on the back of the box rather than the 1986 one, it can be assumed that he was one of the earliest releases following the completion of the MB takeover.}}

* Red Alert

===Italy===
Known Italian releases of 1986 toys are:

'''Aerialbots'''

* Tornado (Air Raid)
* Log (Skydive)
* Optor (Fireflight)
* Vertic (Slingshot)

* Pentajet (Superion giftset)

'''Protectobots'''

* Drago (Hot Spot)
* Defensor (giftset)

{{note|Just like the individual Constructicons before them, GiG's versions of the Aeriabolts, Protectobots, Stunticons and Combaticons also came in boxes based on the Takara versions (including prominent "C" and "D" numbers and "Takara" instead of "Hasbro" logos). This only applied to the combiner limbs, though; the leaders/torsos came in boxes based on the Hasbro versions, including "A5", "P5", "S5" and "D5" numbers.}}

'''Autorobot City'''

* Guardian (Metroplex)

'''Autorobot City Commander'''

* Convoy (Ultra Magnus)

'''Stunticons'''

* Cobra (Dead End)

'''Combaticons'''

* Bomber (Blast Off)
* Crasher (Swindle)
* Exploder (Blast Off)
* Vortex
* Destroyer (Onslaught)
* Multiforce (Bruticus giftset)

{{note|Whereas no solid evidence for the existence of a Hasbro Bruticus giftset has surfaced thus far, GiG did indeed release Multiforce (Bruticus) as a giftset. The box layout was based very closely on the standard Hasbro combiner giftsets at that time, down to the inclusion of a Hasbro product code number; but unlike the other GiG combiner giftsets, Multiforce lacked the Hasbro logo on the front of the box, and the individual components sported Takara numbers from D-64 to D-68 before their names.}}

'''Distructor City'''

* Tripticon (Trypticon)

'''Predacons'''

* Zannar (Razorclaw)
* Felin (Rampage)
* Torox (Tantrum)
* Rinox (Headstrong)
* Falcon (Divebomb)

{{note|The individual Predacons were available in boxes based on the Hasbro versions. Apparently, Predaking was ''not'' available as a giftset from GiG.}}

==1987==
===UK, France, the Netherlands and Belgium===
Apparently realizing that tech specs in four different languages aren't exactly the optimal choice, Hasbro started breaking up the languages again. The UK got toys in English-only packaging, whereas France, Belgium and the Netherlands got toys in bilingual French/Dutch packaging. Germany only got the English versions with safety warning stickers in German. Presumably, all toys were available in all language variants, but without solid evidence, this is pure speculation.
Known European toys from 1987 in French/Dutch packaging are:

'''Decepticon City Commander'''

*Galvatron

{{Note|An instruction sheet for Galvatron exists which only sports the languages French and Dutch. It is therefore assumed that he was available later than Scourge, whose instruction sheet still sported texts in English and Spanish as well.}}

'''Duocons'''

* Battletrap
* Flywheels

===Italy===
Known Italian toys from 1987 are:

'''Autorobot Headmasters'''

* Goblin (Brainstorm)
* Blindobot (Hardhead)

'''Tecnobots (Technobots)'''

* Radarbot (Afterburner)

{{Note|The individual Tecnobots (Technobots) and Terrorbots (Terrorcons) were once again available in boxes with "Takara" logos and Takara numbers from C-87 to C-90 and from D-80 to D-83, respectively.}}

* Scatterbot (Scattershot)
* Computron (giftset)

{{Note|The box for the Computron giftset was based on the Hasbro version, but lacked a "Hasbro" logo on the front of the box.}}

'''Monsterbots'''

* Drekbot (Doublecross)
* Tigerbot (Grotusque)

{{Note|The Monsterbots were available in boxes that were based on the Hasbro versions, but sported "Takara" instead of "Hasbro" logos and Takara numbers from C-99 to C-100.}}

'''Racerbots (Throttlebots)'''

* Wagenbot (Goldbug)
* Scoutbot (Chase)
* Saterbot (Freeway)
* Trollbot (Rollbar)
* Strobobot (Searchlight)
* Rollerbot (Wideload)

{{Note|The Racerbots (Throttlebots) were also available in small boxes rather than on cards, sporting "Takara" rather than "Hasbro" logos and Takara numbers from C-92 to C-97.}}

'''Duoform (Clones)'''

* Tundertron (Abominus giftset)

{{Note|Like Multiforce (Bruticus) before him, Tundertron (Abominus) was also available as a giftset from GiG even though Hasbro hadn't released the toys in giftset form in the USA. The box layout was again based very closely on the standard Hasbro combiner giftsets at that time, but it lacked the Hasbro logo, the individual components sported Takara numbers from D-79 to D-83 before their names, and the giftset itself sported the Takara number D-84.}}

==1988==
===UK, France, the Netherlands and Belgium===
Toys were still available in English-only and French/Dutch packaging. The UK toys started sporting a yellow "Original HASBRO Transformers" sticker on their packaging, possibly as a reaction to the sudden flood of Mexican toys (although those didn't come out in Europe until late 1988/early 1989). This sticker is also the only way to tell a European toy in English packaging apart from its US counterpart, as the packaging itself appears to be identical. 1988 toys were available in Germany in English-only packaging including the "Original HASBRO Transformers" sticker, with additional safety warning stickers in German.
Known European toys from 1988 are (UK = English packaging with "Original HASBRO Transformer" sticker; F/NL = French/Dutch packaging)

==1989==
===UK, France, the Netherlands, Belgium and Spain===
In 1989, Spain started getting toys in Spanish-only packaging (which are not to be confused with the unofficially imported Mexican toys by [[IGA]]). The smaller Pretenders, the Classic Pretenders, the Micromaster Stations and the Micromaster Transports were once again available in Germany in English packaging.

Known European toys from 1989 are (UK = English packaging with "Original HASBRO Transformer" sticker; F/NL = French/Dutch packaging; E = Spanish packaging):

'''Small Pretenders'''

* Doubleheader ('''UK''')
* Longtooth ('''UK''')
* Octopunch ('''UK''')
* Stranglehold ('''UK''')

'''Micromaster Patrols'''

* Erector ('''UK''', '''E''')
* Overload ('''UK''', '''E''')
* Roughstuff ('''UK''', '''E''')

'''Micromaster Bases'''

* Groundshaker ('''E''')
{{Note|A packaged version of Skyhopper exists with the alternate names "Helico/Skyhopper". It's currently unknown which languages the packaging sports - it might even be English/French, which would make it a Canadian rather than a European release.}}

===Italy===
Known Italian toys from 1989 are:

'''Small Pretenders'''

* Biclonius (Doubleheader)
* Medusa (Octopunch)
* Teskior (Bludgeon)

'''Pretender Monsters'''

* Spettro (Bristleback)

'''Set Commandos (Classic Pretenders/Legends)'''

* Saetta, Folgore, Drago & Tornado ([[Bumblebee (G1)/toys|Bumblebee]], [[Jazz (G1)/toys|Jazz]], [[Grimlock (G1)/toys|Grimlock]] & [[Starscream (G1)/toys|Starscream]] set)

{{Note|The [[Classic Pretender]]/Legends versions of Bumblebee, Jazz, Grimlock and Starscream were released as a giftset without their pretender shells. The packaging of the set was based on the Japanese "Hero Set". The names of the individual toys were ''not'' the same Italian names the original toys/characters had sported - rather, they were given seemingly random names of ''other'' Transformers toys. Bumblebee ("Maggiolino" in the Italian dub of the animated television series, since the original toy had not been released in Italy) became "Saetta" (originally the Italian name for [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]]); Jazz (originally "Tigre") became "Folgore" (originally the Italian name for [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]]); Grimlock (originally "Tiran") became "Drago" (originally the Italian name for [[Hot Spot (G1)|Hot Spot]]); and Starscream (originally "Astrum") became "Tornado" (originally the Italian name for [[Air Raid (G1)|Air Raid]]).}}

'''Microtransformers Pattuglias (Micromaster Patrols)'''

* Expeditors (Off-Road Patrol)
* Sprintforce (Race Car Patrol)
* Interceptors (Air Strike Patrol)
* Pattuglia Soccorso (Battle Patrol)

'''Microtransformers Deluxes (Micromaster Transports)'''

* Tractor (Erector)
* Tornado (Roughstuff)

'''Microtrasformer Stations (Micromaster Stations)'''

* Radar (Ironworks)
* Argon (Hot House)
* Assalt (Greasepit)
* Lancer (Airwave)
{{Note|For reasons unknown, GiG's versions of the Micromaster Stations are called "Micro'''tras'''former" rather than "Microtra'''n'''sformer" like the rest of the Italian Micromaster releases.}}

'''Microtransformer Bases (Micromaster Bases)'''

* Titano (Groundshaker)
* Rotor (Skyhopper)

===Unofficial Mexican imports===
In addition to the regular toys released by Hasbro and GiG, [http://www.tfarchive.com/toys/articles/mexican_invasion.php Europe was also hit by a flood of Transformers toys imported from Mexico]. While these toys had been officially produced by [[IGA]] with the intention to release them on the Mexican market, a large unsold stock remained that was eventually exported to Europe without Hasbro's involvement. The toys were available in the UK, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Spain, Italy, Austria, Romania, Denmark, Sweden and Finland. This created a strange situation where unofficially imported (but officially produced) toys competed with official European releases. These toys are considered official for Mexico but unofficial for Europe.

==1990==
By 1990, Hasbro had mostly streamlined their European markets. Presumably, all toys that came out in one country were also available everywhere else. Even the Italian releases now sported a uniform look with the toys that were available elsewhere in Europe (even though they still sported a "GiG" logo and Italian names) - with one exception. Also, with Hasbro cancelling the Transformers line in the USA for the time being, the European Hasbro branches continued releasing new toys which the USA would never get. By this time, Australia also was receiving a similar (if not exactly the same) pattern of releases, re-releases and exclusives to the European market - this would continue at least as far as the 'Generation 2' era.

===Micromasters===
Known European Micromaster releases are (F/NL = French/Dutch packaging; E = Spanish packaging; I = Italian packaging with alternate names):

'''Micromaster Patrols'''

* Air Patrol ('''E''')
* Construction Patrol ('''E''')
* Hot Rod Patrol ('''E'''; '''I''': Pattuglia Inseguitori)
* Military Patrol ('''I''': Pattuglia Militare)
* Monster Truck Patrol ('''UK'''; '''I''': ?)
* Race Track Patrol ('''E''')

'''Micromaster Combiner Squads (Microtransformers Combin in Italy)'''

* Astro Squad ('''UK'''; '''I''': Squadriglia Interstellare)
* Metro Squad ('''I''': Squadriglia Metropolis)
* Battle Squad ('''I''': Squadra Combattenti)
* Constructor Squad ('''UK'''; '''E'''; '''I''': Squadra Demolitori)

'''Micromaster Combiner Transports (Microcombiners in Spain)'''

* Tanker Truck ('''UK'''; '''E''': Camion Cisterna)
* Cannon Transport ('''UK'''; '''E''': Remolque de Cañon)
* Missile Launcher ('''E''': Lanzamisiles)

'''Micromaster Combiner Autobot Battlefield Headquarters'''

* Battlefield Headquarters ( '''E''': Cuartel General; '''I''': Super Camion Fortezza)

===Action Masters (Super Azione in Italy)===
Presumably, Germany got the UK versions of the 1990 Action Masters in English-only packaging. Also, GiG gave at least some of the Action Masters toys that were based on older characters the original Italian names again.

Confirmed releases are (UK = English packaging, F/NL = French/Dutch packaging; E = Spanish packaging; I = Italian packaging with alternate names):

'''Action Master figures'''

* Grimlock ('''UK''')
* Snarl ('''UK''')
* Blaster ('''UK''')
* Bumblebee ('''UK''')
* Jazz ('''I''': Bionic con Turbo Veicolo)
* Jackpot ('''I''': Inspector)
* Soundwave ('''UK''')
* Shockwave ('''UK''')
* Devastator ('''UK''')

'''Action Master Action Vehicles'''

* Wheeljack ('''I''': Saetta con Super Turbo)

===European and Australasian "Classics"===
Possibly taking a cue from the popularity of the Classic Pretenders, Hasbro started re-releasing original toys from 1984-1987 in "gold" packaging based on the Classic Pretenders' boxes. It's impossible to determine whether this was an idea Hasbro had originally intended for the US market that fell victim to the cancellation of the line in the USA and which therefore only came out in Europe, Australia and New Zealand or whether Hasbro was trying to fulfill the demand for original toys/characters, possibly in an attempt to react to the imported Mexican toys that flooded European and Australasian shelves. Germany got the [[Classics (Europe)|Classics]] toys in English packaging. Unlike the English and French/Dutch versions, the Italian and Spanish Classics don't say "Classic" anywhere on the packaging.
[http://www.reocities.com/futuristgroup/veurolist.html Known European/Australasian "Classic" releases from 1990] are (UK = English packaging; F/NL = French/Dutch packaging; E = Spanish packaging; I = Italian packaging with alternate names):

'''Classic Aerialbots'''

* [[Air Raid (G1)|Air Raid]] ('''UK''')
* [[Skydive (G1 Aerialbot)|Skydive]] ('''UK''')
* [[Fireflight (G1)|Fireflight]] ('''UK'''; '''F/NL''')
* [[Slingshot]] ('''UK''')
* [[Silverbolt (G1)|Silverbolt]] ('''UK'''; '''E''')

'''Classic Stunticons'''

* [[Dead End (G1)|Dead End]] ('''UK'''; '''F/NL'''; '''I''': Cobra)
* [[Breakdown (G1)|Breakdown]] ('''UK''')
* [[Wildrider]] ('''UK''')
* [[Drag Strip]] ('''UK'''; '''F/NL'''; '''I''': Iguana)
* [[Motormaster (G1)|Motormaster]] ('''UK'''; '''E''')

'''Classic Heroes'''

* [[Inferno (G1)|Inferno]] ('''UK'''; '''E''')
* [[Ironhide (G1)/toys|Ironhide]] ('''UK''')
* [[Jazz (G1)/toys|Jazz]] ('''UK'''; '''E''')
* [[Prowl (G1)/toys|Prowl]] ('''UK'''; '''E''')
{{Note|The "Classic" version of Prowl sported a sticker sheet that was based on the Diaclone version of the toy. The police badges actually sport the word "Diaclone", which was omitted from the 1984 Hasbro version, the 1985 Takara Transformers version and all the modern-day reissues.}}
* [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]] ('''UK''')
* [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]] ('''UK'''; '''E''')
{{Note|The "Classic" versions of Sunstreaker and Wheeljack mark the last uses of these molds to this very day. While Hasbro have confirmed the Wheeljack mold (as well as the Mirage mold) as "long since depleted", the fate of the Sunstreaker mold is still unknown.}}

===Italian exclusives===
As a last glimmer of GiG's unique relationship with Takara, [[Galaxy Shuttle]], which was originally released as part of Takara's Victory line, was available in Italy. The Italian packaging was loosely based on the original Japanese packaging, but with a lot of elements taken from the European releases at that time. The Japanese "C-326" number was omitted from the packaging this time around.

==1991==
Hasbro continued releasing new toys to the European and Australasian markets. Those included new Action Masters that never came out in the USA, entirely new Action Master concepts, more "Classic" re-releases of older toys and even toys that were originally only available in Japan, slightly redecoed for the European market. Again, Action Masters were available in English packaging in Germany.

Known European/Australasian toys from 1991 are (UK = English packaging; F/NL = French/Dutch packaging; E = Spanish packaging; I = Italian packaging with alternate names):

===Action Masters (Super Azione in Italy)===
'''Action Master figures'''

* [[Powerflash]] ('''UK'''; '''F/NL''')
* [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]] ('''UK'''; '''F/NL'''; '''I''': Freccia)
* [[Tracks (G1)|Tracks]] ('''UK'''; '''I''': Puma)
{{Note|The Italian versions of Action Master Sideswipe and Tracks are named "Freccia" and "Puma", respectively. These are the characters' original Italian names.}}
* [[Bombshell (G1)|Bombshell]] ('''UK'''; '''F/NL''')
* [[Charger]] ('''UK'''; '''F/NL'''; '''I''': Lampo)
* [[Take-Off]] ('''UK'''; '''F/NL''')

'''Exo-Suit Action Masters'''

* [[Circuit (G1)|Circuit]] ('''UK''')
* [[Thundercracker (G1)|Thundercracker]] ('''UK''')

'''Motorized Exo-Suit Action Masters'''

* [[Rumbler (G1)|Rumbler]] ('''UK'''; '''F/NL''')
* [[Slicer]] ('''UK''')

'''Action Master Elites'''

* [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Spreem]] (intended to represent Omega Supreme)
* [[Windmill (G1)|Windmill]]
* [[Double Punch]] (similar in appearance to [[Scorponok (G1)|BlackZarak]])
* [[Turbo Master]] (head and torso are very similar to [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]])
{{Note|The Action Master Elites are rumored to have originally been designed as wave 5 of the standard Action Masters, but to have been redesigned for licencing reasons, as Hasbro UK is a separate company from the US Hasbro according to this rumor. The Japanese "Transformers Generations" book contains concept designs for an unreleased Action Master version of Bruticus; it's assumed that some parts originally designed for AM Bruticus ultimately ended up on Turbo Master.}}

===Classics===
Again, Classics toys were available in English packaging in Germany. However, the Classic Combaticons might have not been available in Germany, due to the unpopular "war" theme. Also, again, the Italian and Spanish Classics don't say "Classic" anywhere on the packaging, unlike the English and French/Dutch versions. The rubsign indents on the Classic Protectobots, Combaticons, Throttlebots, and Triple Changers Springer, and Octane were filled in. The Throttlebots also had standard Autobot symbols instead of rubsigns.

'''Classic Throttlebots (Motorizatti Rollerbots in Italy)'''

* [[Chase (G1)|Chase]] ('''UK'''; '''I''': Scoutbot)
* [[Freeway (G1)|Freeway]] ('''UK'''; '''I''': Saterbot)
* [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys|Goldbug]] ('''UK'''; '''I''': Maggionlino)
* [[Rollbar (G1)|Rollbar]] ('''UK'''; '''I''': Trollbot)
* [[Searchlight (G1)|Searchlight]] ('''UK'''; '''I''': Strobobot)
* [[Wide Load|Wideload]] ('''UK'''; '''I''': Rapidbot)
{{Note|The original Italian releases of the Throttlebots were named "Racerbots"; the Italian versions of the Classic Throttlebots were called "Motorizatti Rollerbots" instead. Also, Scoutbot (Chase), Saterbot (freeway), Trollbot (Rollbar) and Strobobot (Searchlight) their original Italian names; however, Goldbug, who had originally been named "Wagenbot" in Italy, was called "Maggiolino" for the Italian version of his "Classics" incarnation instead, which was the Italian name of Bumblebee in the Italian dub of the animated television series (since the original Bumblebee toy was never released in Italy); and likewise, Wideload, who had originally been named "Rollerbot" in Italy (which had now become the name of the entire team), was renamed into "Rapidbot".}}

'''Classic Dinobots (Nuovo Dinorobots in Italy)'''

* [[Grimlock (G1)/toys|Grimlock]] ('''UK''')
* [[Sludge (G1)|Sludge]] ('''UK'''; '''I''': Bronto)
* [[Snarl (G1)|Snarl]] ('''UK'''; '''I''': Stego)

{{Note|The Italian versions of the Classic Dinobots were available as packs with re-releases of old combiner giftsets.}}

'''Classic Triple Changers'''

* [[Sandstorm (G1)|Sandstorm]] ('''UK'''; '''E''')
{{Note|Classics Sandstorm had black plastic feet painted orange, as opposed to the original orange-painted metal and later orange plastic versions. Sandstorm came without a rubsign but the indent was not removed.}}
* [[Springer (G1)|Springer]] ('''UK'''; '''E''')
* [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]] ('''UK'''; '''E''')
* [[Octane]] ('''UK'''; '''E''')

'''Classic Protectobots'''

* [[Streetwise (G1)|Streetwise]] ('''UK'''; '''E''')
* [[Groove (G1)|Groove]] ('''UK'''; '''E''')
* [[Blades (G1)|Blades]] ('''UK'''; '''E''')
* [[First Aid (G1)|First Aid]] ('''UK'''; '''E''')
* [[Hot Spot (G1)|Hot Spot]] ('''UK'''; '''E''')

'''Classic Combaticons'''

* [[Brawl (G1)|Brawl]] ('''UK'''; '''F/NL'''; '''E''')
* [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]] ('''UK'''; '''F/NL'''; '''E''')
* [[Vortex (G1)|Vortex]] ('''UK'''; '''E''')
* [[Blast Off (G1)|Blast Off]] ('''UK'''; '''E''')
* [[Onslaught (G1)|Onslaught]] ('''UK'''; '''F/NL'''; '''E''': Oslat)
{{Note|For reasons unknown, the Spanish "Classic" version of Onslaught is the only known Spanish version of a toy sporting an alternate name, "Oslat".}}

'''Classic Heroes'''

* [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]] ('''UK'''; '''E''')
* [[Tracks (G1)|Tracks]] ('''UK'''; '''E''')

'''Other Classics'''

* [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]] ('''UK'''; '''E''')

===Imported Japanese toys===
'''Motorvators (Super Autorobots in Italy)'''

* [[Flame (Motorvator)|Flame]] ('''UK'''; '''I''': Ghibli)
* [[Gripper (G1)|Gripper]] ('''UK'''; '''I''': ?)
* [[Lightspeed (Motorvator)|Lightspeed]] ('''UK'''; '''I''': Starbot)
{{Note|The Motorvators are redecos of the Japanese Brainmasters Blacker, Braver, and Laster, but do not include the parts for forming Road Caesar.}}
{{Note|"Starbot" was previously also the Italian name of the Technobot Lightspeed. It's currently unknown whether this is supposed to imply that the Motorvator and the Technobot are supposed to be the same character. For what it's worth, "Ghibli" was previously the Italian name of Triple Changer Sandstorm.}}

'''Others'''

* [[Overlord (Masterforce)|Overlord]] ('''UK'''; '''F/NL''')
{{Note|Overlord is slightly recolored from his 1988 Japanese release. Make that ''very'' slightly, as the only difference is that some violet accessories are now indigo.}}
{{Note|Both Overlord and the Motorvators came in boxes sporting the same overall layout as the boxes used for the "Classic" toys.}}
{{Note|It's speculated that Overlord and the Motorvators might have been a "test" to see how well larger toys sell in Europe. By using existing molds already released by Takara, Hasbro minimised the financial risk.}}

===Greece===
Along with the classic toy-line, GiG RE-produced both giftsets in 1990-1991 (these came in Italy in combination with a Dinobot classic attached on the back of the box). While these toys are often mistakenly thought to have been produced in 1986, they have small differences from the versions previously released in other markets. There are differences in colors and projectiles and the toys do not have rubsigns. Do not be misled by the date on the box, El Greco only sold the RE-produced giftsets in 1990-1991:

'''Combiner giftsets'''

* Excavator (Devastator)
* Defensor

{{Note|The layout of the combiner giftsets boxes differs from the Mini-Vehicles' cards. Apparently, the boxes were based on the Italian giftsets by GiG. The small additional "Trasformer" logo is present, and the "El Greco" logo is placed in an oval bubble where the "GiG" logo would be placed on Italian toys, whereas the Mini-Vehicles sported a blue "El Greco" logo without a bubble. Also, both Excavator's and Defensor's names are spelled in Latin rather than in Greek characters, Excavator's function is stated as "Fighter Excavator" (also in Latin), and furthermore, he's called a "Decepticon" (even though his faction is called "Distructors" elsewhere on the packaging), and Defensor is called an "Autobot" (also in Latin), even though the Mini-Vehicles were "Autorobots". The individual Constructicons' and Protectobots' names are their original English names, spelled in Latin characters on the packaging.}}

==1992==
Hasbro continued with a few new toys exclusively designed for the European market, as well as a few strange re-releases of combiners lacking their combining ability. In terms of languages, English and Spanish were now merged into bilingual English/Spanish packaging for the British, Spanish, Australian and New Zealand markets, whereas France, Belgium and the Netherlands still got toys in bilingual French/Dutch packaging, but now with alternate (English) names as well, and Italy still got toys in Italian-only packaging from GiG. Known European releases from 1992 are (UK/E = English/Spanish packaging; F/NL = French/Dutch packaging with alternate names; I = Italian packaging with alternate names):

===Turbomasters and Predators===
'''Turbomasters'''

* [[Boss]] ('''UK/E'''; '''F/NL''': Blizzard; '''I''': Tigre)
* [[Flash (G1)|Flash]] ('''UK/E''')
* [[Hurricane]] ('''UK/E'''; '''F/NL''': Tempest; '''I''': Vortex)
* [[Scorch]] ('''UK/E'''; '''F/NL''': Dragon)
* [[Rotorstorm]] ('''UK/E''')
* [[Thunder Clash]] ('''UK/E'''; '''I''': Uragan)

'''Predators'''

* [[Falcon (G1)|Falcon]] ('''UK/E''')
* [[Skydive (Predator)|Skydive]] ('''UK/E'''; '''I''': Pyton)
* [[Snare]] ('''UK/E''')
* [[Talon]] ('''UK/E'''; '''I''': Bomber)
* [[Stalker (G1)|Stalker]] ('''UK/E''')
* [[Skyquake (G1)|Skyquake]] ('''UK/E'''; '''F/NL''': Crash)

{{Note|The Italian name for Boss, "Tigre", was originally the Italian name for Jazz. Likewise, the Italian name for Hurricane, "Vortex", was also the Italian name for the Combaticon Vortex.}}
{{Note|The Turbomasters were also available in Canada; the Canadian version of Rotorstorm had the alternate names "Storm" (English) and "Tempête" (French). Also of note is that the UK also saw releases of Rotorstorm labeled as "Storm".}}

===Non-combining Combiners===
'''Rescue Force'''

* "[[Rescue Force drill]]"
* "[[Rescue Force buggy]]"
* "[[Rescue Force tank]]"
* "[[Rescue Force jet]]"

{{Note|The Rescue Force were recolors of four members of the Breastforce, originally released by Takara in Japan as part of their Victory line in 1990, with new weapons replacing the partners. Names are in quotes because no official names were given. Some parts were [[retool]]ed, such as the gun for [[Killbison]] now being a set of crane arms. These were not intended to replace the partners. These toys were also released with both red and gray weapons. Note that these toys still combine but lack the head included with the Japanese [[Leozack]] (and the two arms).}}

'''Constructicons'''

* "Bonecrusher"
* "Hook"
* "Long Haul"
* "Mixmaster"
* "Scavenger"
* "Scrapper"

{{Note|The European Constructicons from 1992 are different from the yellow G2 Constructicons, as the purple parts were the darker G1 shade, the soft plastic parts (Bonecrusher and Scrapper's roof parts, Scavenger's shovel arm) were gray, no combiner parts were included, and there was no G2 stamp. Figure names are in quotes because these figures were not officially named. Some fans also refer to these versions of the Constructicons as the "G1½" versions.}}
{{Note|Both the Rescue Force and the Constructicon toys came on uniform cards with the same box artwork spotlights for each team member, minimal texts ("Rescue Force" and "Autobot", or "Constructicons" and "Decepticon", respectively), no individual names, no tech specs and strictly image-based instructions that featured all team members.}}

==1993==
The Turbomasters, Predators, Rescue Force and Constructicons were still available. All new toys from 1993 would be re-released in 1994 in "Generation 2" packaging in Europe, Australia and New Zealand, and were identical to their 1993 releases other than the packaging. The G2 symbol was created for this year's releases; rumor has it that this was due to the international licence for the G1 symbols having expired. Some releases of these figures also had the "G2 stamp" placed somewhere on the figure. Known European/Australasian releases from 1993 are (UK/E = English/Spanish packaging; F/NL = French/Dutch packaging with alternate names; I = Italian packaging with alternate names):

===Obliterators===
* [[Pyro]] ('''UK/E''')
* [[Clench (G1)|Clench]] ('''UK/E''')

===Axelerators and Skyscorchers===
'''Axelerators (Colorflashes in Italy)'''

* [[Hotrider]] ('''UK/E'''; '''I''': Astro) (a.k.a. Turbofire)
* [[Rapido]] ('''UK/E'''; '''I''': Sirius)
* [[Skram]] ('''UK/E'''; '''I''': Mercury)
* [[Zap]] ('''UK/E'''; '''F/NL''': Rush; '''I''': Folgor) (a.k.a. Windbreaker)

'''Skyscorchers (Colorflashes in Italy)'''

* [[Hawk (G1)|Hawk]] ('''UK/E'''; '''I''': Pyton) (a.k.a. Eagle Eye)

Talk:Swoop (G1)

2010-12-13T22:26:16Z

Asukasboy: /* European availability */ new section

That can't [i]seriously[/i] be the only picture of Swoop we have. --[[User:Andrusi|Andrusi]] 23:21, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

I was gonna change it, but this one was so funny-lookin'. Kinda like the main pic at [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]]. Not the most prominant image of the character, but ''someone'' thought it was funny. --[[User:DrSpengler|DrSpengler]] 23:27, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

IIRC, Walky's in unrequited lust with this Swoop color scheme, so I'm guessing that explains all. ;-)

== Ugly Duckling ==

On a side note, I think it's interesting that we have some idea of the Transformer race's sense of aesthetics dealing with personal beauty. Swoop's beast mode is considered particularly ugly and terrifying to TF sensibillities as is Grotusque's alt-mode. On the other hand, Lightspeed is considered to be particularly atractive and handsome. Makes me wonder if there's enough for a small "Culture" article on "Transformer Beauty Standards". [[User:ZacWilliam|ZacWilliam]] 00:13, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

==Coloring book==
Does this actually belong under the Marvel heading, or does it need to be moved? And do we know the title? [[User:Chip|Chip]] 16:56, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

==Classic Swoop size==
On page 19 of the Timelines 2007 comic Strongarm and Swoop free Mirage. Swoop is in robot mode and is only about as big as Mirage's arm. So it seems he is Mini-Con sized.

== Veteran ==

Furman also ''directly'' named the Veteran as Swoop in the story he did where Optimus Prime finally went to [[J'nwan]] during the time of the [[Maximal Upgrade]]--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]] 16:09, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

== Marvel Comics model ==
The trivia section mentions that Swoop's Marvel model uses the Diaclone toy's gold bits. Er.... when did this occur? I don't want to delete it outright if that color scheme did show up at some point. [[User:Chip|Chip]] 07:41, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

== Animated Continuity ==
"While guarding a mysterious meteorite, the original Dinobots, Grimlock, Slag and Sludge, were fooled by Megatron into joining the side of the Decepticons. To counter the threat of their former comrades, the Autobots constructed two new Dinobots; Snarl and Swoop."

This isn't accurate. According to "War of the Dinobots" Optimus Prime commissions Ratchet and Wheeljack to build two new Dinobots because he's pleased with the originals, not specifically to fight the others (Although that is what happens later. How fortuitous.).--[[User:Suzyprime|Suzyprime]] 02:40, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

==Not a Dinosaur==
Since when? Blasphemy I say! But seriously, since when?--[[User:Chipmonk328|Chipmonk328]]
:Since pterodactyls fly and the term "dinosaur" specifically refers to land-bound giant reptiles. -- [[User:Dark T Zeratul|Dark T Zeratul]] 15:15, 28 January 2010 (EST)
::Technically since 1842 when the term Dinosauria was coined, Pterosauria had been established in 1834. Both are members of the larger group Archosauria and both lived in the Mesozoic Era, so that popular imagination often confuses them, but they are truly separate groups. Birds, on the other hand, ARE dinosaurs. [[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 15:20, 28 January 2010 (EST)

== European availability ==

Swoop's absence from the UK toyline is no secret, but was he available in mainland Europe? Looking at the catalogue scans for the countries handled by MB (France, Germany, Netherlands etc.) all the noted absentees from the UK range are present: Roadbuster & Whirl, Shockwave, Blaster, the Deluxe Insecticons and so on. But whenever the Dinobots are shown, Swoop's always missing. What's the dealio? --[[User:Asukasboy|Asukasboy]] 17:26, 13 December 2010 (EST)

The Transformers Sticker Book (1986)

Asukasboy: Added notes regarding the profile pages and Skyfire's inclusion as Jetfire.

'''The Transformers Sticker Book''' was a children's activity book based around the [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation One franchise]].

==Vital statistics==
Published in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Denmark and Germany by [[Panini|Panini]] in 1986, this album was designed to hold 256 collectible stickers. These stickers were used to retell a number of season one episodes of [[The Transformers (cartoon)|''The Transformers'' cartoon]] as well as add visuals to a number of profiles. The profile pages each featured two foil stickers of the Transformer in question in both robot and vehicle mode.
{{-}}

==Overview==
[[Image:Panini-page.jpg|thumb|The foul force of 189 has taken out half Megatron's forces.]]
[[Image:Panini-profile-small.jpg|thumb|Where's my middle?]]

The full checklist of stickers is as follows:
* #1 - #2: Autobot and Decepticon faction stickers (on foil paper)
* #3 - #11: Mural artwork from year two
* #12 - #42: "The Beginning" featuring [[More than Meets the Eye (episode)|More than Meets the Eye]] episode scenes
* #43 - #50: Optimus Prime profile
* #51 - #82: [[S.O.S. Dinobots|S.O.S. Dinobots]] episode scenes
* #83 - #90: Megatron profile
* #91 - #121: [[War of the Dinobots|War of the Dinobots]] episode scenes
* #122 - #129: Slag profile
* #130 - #137: Snarl profile
* #138 - #169: [[Fire in the Sky|Fire in the Sky]] episode scenes
* #170 - #177: Thrust profile
* #178 - #208: [[Heavy Metal War|The Heavy Metal War]] episode scenes
* #209 - #216: Inferno profile
* #217 - #248: [[Fire on the Mountain|Fire on the Mountain]] episode scenes
* #248 - #256: Swoop profile

{{-}}
==Notes==
* Identifies the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] by name.
* The highly-truncated retelling of the first 3 episodes identifies the [[Decepticon]]s' fuel-gathering mission as '''Operation Energy''', and says that their plan was to construct a superweapon, not a space shuttle. Operation Energy is foiled because the [[human]]s learn to work with the [[Autobot]]s and anticipate the Decepticons' attacks, setting the stage for the stalemate of the ongoing series.
* [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike]] is a genius! He's credited with designing the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobot]]s and building [[Sky Spy]].
* Panini let you buy stickers directly! No doubt they're out of number #174.
* Character art from the cartoon is used for the robot modes on the profile pages, but illustrations of the toys are used for alternate modes.
* Although this book depicts events from cartoon continuity, [[Jetfire (G1)|Skyfire]] is referred to as Jetfire throughout.

Commercial/International

2010-12-08T14:56:55Z

Asukasboy: Added the G2 Laser Rods rap ad in Polish! Also two G1.5 ads from the Czech Republic, and an early G1 ad from the Netherlands.

{{suite}}
[[Image:UK Autobot Cars Commercial.jpg|250px|right|thumb|]]
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.}}

==Europe==
===United Kingdom===

[[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.
: ''Toy segment:'' Two kids play with Optimus Prime, all of the pre-movie [[Autobot Cars]] and at least four [[Seeker (body-type)|Seekers]]: [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]], [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]], [[Thundercracker (G1)|Thundercracker]], and [[Ramjet (G1)|Ramjet]]. 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?]]
* '''Megatron''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20FDEi6Wsxk&#t=2m45s](short clip)

: ''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!''

* '''Transformers: The Movie''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0Vzgj0Fmio]
: ''Animation:'' Various clips from Transformers: The Movie are shown. One-upping the US "Does Prime die?" commercial, the announcer tell us that this is our chance to "see Optimus Prime and Megatron in their final battle". We are also promised "super new Autobot heroes" (Rodimus is shown), and "evil new Decepticons" (Galvatron & Unicron are showcased).
: ''The ultimate Transformers adventure. ''Transformers: The Movie'' - opens December 12th!''

* '''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. The earlier commercials are credited to the agencies Reeve Robertshaw Needham / [[Griffin Bacal]], whereas those from 1988 are produced by Griffin Bacal only. 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.

* '''Powermaster Optimus Prime (short version)''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qXnrAzCRLw&t#=0m45s]

: ''Animation:'' Powermaster Prime shooting at Darkwing and Dreadwind. Re-used from the American commercials.
: ''Toy segment:'' Re-used from the American commercial.
: ''Notes:'' Same re-recorded Powermaster music.
: ''Optimus Prime's back! He's bigger, super Optimus Prime!''

* '''Powermaster Optimus Prime (long version)''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08n2RB_Jc_U]
: ''Animation:'' Extended piece of animation from the US Powermaster Prime commercial.
: ''Toy segment:'' Powermaster Prime's various modes and his interaction with the accompanying Hi-Q figure are showcased.
: ''Super Powermaster Optimus Prime, greatest leader of his time!''

* '''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]
: ''Notes:'' Uses several clips re-ordered from the US commercial.

*'''Megatron''' [http://www.ina.fr/pub/culture-et-loisirs/video/PUB3784054093/robots-transformers-mb-jouet.fr.html]
: ''Notes:'' Uses the Megatron segment from the US Optimus Prime and Megatron commercial plus brand new footage of the toy being transformed by hand.

*'''Optimus Prime and Megatron''' [http://www.ina.fr/pub/culture-et-loisirs/video/PUB3784063100/transformers-robot-jouet.fr.html]
: ''Notes:'' Edited down and dubbed version of the American commercial.

* '''Transformers toys''' [http://www.ina.fr/pub/culture-et-loisirs/video/PUB3784063094/transformers-robot-jouet.fr.html]
: ''Notes:'' Combines several clips of the toy segment from the first US toy commercial, one shot from the commercial for [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] and a shot or two from the commercial for Optimus Prime. Also uses the stop motion Seekers from the first US toy commercial.

* '''Constructicons''' [http://www.ina.fr/pub/culture-et-loisirs/video/PUB3784063097/transformers-robot-jouet.fr.html]
: ''Notes:'' Same as the US commercial, but dubbed and trimmed down a bit.

* '''Jumpstarters''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JO4a_mZCpY]
: ''Notes:'' Footage is the same as the US Jumpstarters commercial, but edited down from 30 seconds to 20 and minus the Hasbro "hammer" logo at its conclusion.

* '''Insecticons''' [http://www.ina.fr/pub/culture-et-loisirs/video/PUB3784063101/transformers-robot-jouet.fr.html]
: ''Notes:'' A trimmed down version of the US commercial with footage of the toy segment from the Dinobots commercial tacked on at the end.

* '''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?]]
* '''Aerialbots/Protectobots/Stunticons/Combaticons''' [http://www.ina.fr/pub/culture-et-loisirs/video/PUB3784074073/hasbro-transformers-jouet-robot.fr.html]
:''Notes:'' Uses the animation from the Stunticons & Aerialbots commercial along with a newly filmed toy segment featuring the four teams combining.

* '''Duocons and Throttlebots''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-o193hIKfw]
: ''Notes:'' Dubbed version of the UK commercial.

* '''Autobot Heroes - Rodimus Prime and Wreck-Gar''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IA28zT6vqEw]
: ''Notes:'' Dubbed version of the UK commercial.

* '''Powermasters''' [http://www.ina.fr/pub/culture-et-loisirs/video/PUB3784105029/hasbro-transformers-robot-transformable-pour-enfants.fr.html]
: ''Notes:'' Animation and toy segments are re-used and re-ordered from the American spot. Re-uses the flying asteroid intro from the first two Headmaster toy commercials.

* '''Pretenders''' [http://www.ina.fr/pub/culture-et-loisirs/video/PUB3784101113/hasbro-transformers-personnage-transformable.fr.html]
: ''Notes:'' Animation and toy segment footage are re-used from the third American Pretender commercial. The asteroid intro is re-used again.

: ''Animation:'' A mish-mash of footage from the first US comic commercial and Optimus Prime's US ad.
: ''Toy segment:'' Relatively brief footage of Optimus Prime being transformed, again from his US ad.
: ''Notes:'' Differs from the original commercials in that at the end, the Transformers logo flies away.

===Poland===

: ''Animation:'' Same CGI animation used in the US commercial, but edited.
: ''Toy segment:'' Same as the US version, except the Laser Rods are renamed Illuminators
: ''Notes:'' The rap is here... IN POLISH! It also uses the US names for the toys ("Electro, Volt, Sizzle, Jolt!")

==Latin America==

: ''Animation:'' Excerpts of [[High Wire (Armada)|High Wire]], [[Hot Shot (Armada)|Hot Shot]], and [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]] from ''[[Armada (cartoon)|Armada]]''.
: ''Notes:'' This ad names start times for [[Mexico]], Argentina and Venezuela.

===Brazil===
* '''Grendene Sandals''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STDx4wE18Oc]
: A boy wearing Grendene's Transformers sandals runs and jumps through an industrial yard full of oil drums. As he's hopping the last barrel we see him wearing a version of [[Meantime]] that the boy got with his sandals. He throws the toy across the yard only to have it magically land in robot mode and on its feet. The boy runs up onto a platform. Upon checking his watch he realizes it's time to go and grabs his backpack.
: ''Notes:'' Excerpts of Optimus Prime from the 2007 movie are interspersed. The Meantime toy that comes with the shoes is actually a knock-off, the most obvious sign being the fact that it's actually a functional watch unlike the real deal.

[[Image:De_Batas_Jazz-like_Decepticon.jpg|180px|right|thumb|]]
*'''Transformers de Bata''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fG77AH_belA]

: ''Animation:'' [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]] sees the Autobots delivering a shipment of children's dress shoes and reports back to Megatron and [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]]. Soundwave plays back Ravage's findings, which include the specifications of the shoes. Apparently having decided he needed a new pair of kicks, Megatron leads an assault on the Autobot convoy. A live-action boy and girl, wearing the dress shoes, step out of Bumblebee. The children DEFEAT the Decepticons by repelling blasts from Megatron's [[fusion cannon]] using THE SOLES OF THEIR SHOES! That's right. Megatron, [[The Autobots' Secret Weapon|mighty warrior]] and leader of the Decepticons, is felled by FOOTWEAR. After showing Megatron that they have more sole, the Autobots arrive at their destination and start handing out shoes to the local school children. And there was much rejoicing.
: ''Notes:'' The animation models for the characters have some differences in proportions and details compared to their standard models. This is because the animation was not done by the [[Toei|animation studios]] [[AKOM|normally]] [[Unknown Filipino animation studio|contracted]] for such things. Appearing amongst the Decepticons are a Cyclonus-like robot and a bizarre Jazz-like robot with a green helmeted head, upper arms and hands and a new face. Hound is colored a rather bluish green.

: ''Toy segment:'' Several children are shown playing with various Transformer toys before zooming in on a kid and his mother playing with Sureshot.

* '''Targetmasters''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3HQWuTVZ3o]
: ''Notes:'' A re-dubbed version of the US [[Targetmaster]] ad. Yes, re-dubbed. The song, [[Victor Caroli]]'s narration, and even Ultra Magnus and Galvatron's lines have been rerecorded by other actors for this ad. As a result, Galvatron sounds more like a generic Autobot than a fearsome Decepticon leader.

* Many UK versions of American commercials add overlays showing the MSRP of the figures in pounds.

[[Image:UK Autobot Cars Commercial.jpg|250px|right|thumb|]]
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.
: ''Toy segment:'' Two kids play with Optimus Prime, all of the pre-movie [[Autobot Cars]] and at least four [[Seeker (body-type)|Seekers]]: [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]], [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]], [[Thundercracker (G1)|Thundercracker]], and [[Ramjet (G1)|Ramjet]]. 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?]]
* '''Megatron''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20FDEi6Wsxk&#t=2m45s](short clip)

: ''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!''

* '''Transformers: The Movie''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0Vzgj0Fmio]
: ''Animation:'' Various clips from Transformers: The Movie are shown. One-upping the US "Does Prime die?" commercial, the announcer tell us that this is our chance to "see Optimus Prime and Megatron in their final battle". We are also promised "super new Autobot heroes" (Rodimus is shown), and "evil new Decepticons" (Galvatron & Unicron are showcased).
: ''The ultimate Transformers adventure. ''Transformers: The Movie'' - opens December 12th!''

* '''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. The earlier commercials are credited to the agencies Reeve Robertshaw Needham / [[Griffin Bacal]], whereas those from 1988 are produced by Griffin Bacal only. 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:'' The narration and music have again been re-recorded.

* '''Powermaster Optimus Prime (short version)''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qXnrAzCRLw&t#=0m45s]

: ''Animation:'' Powermaster Prime shooting at Darkwing and Dreadwind. Re-used from the American commercials.
: ''Toy segment:'' Re-used from the American commercial.
: ''Notes:'' Same re-recorded Powermaster music.
: ''Optimus Prime's back! He's bigger, super Optimus Prime!''

* '''Powermaster Optimus Prime (long version)''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08n2RB_Jc_U]
: ''Animation:'' Extended piece of animation from the US Powermaster Prime commercial.
: ''Toy segment:'' Powermaster Prime's various modes and his interaction with the accompanying Hi-Q figure are showcased.
: ''Super Powermaster Optimus Prime, greatest leader of his time!''

* '''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]
: ''Notes:'' Uses several clips re-ordered from the US commercial.

*'''Megatron''' [http://www.ina.fr/pub/culture-et-loisirs/video/PUB3784054093/robots-transformers-mb-jouet.fr.html]
: ''Notes:'' Uses the Megatron segment from the US Optimus Prime and Megatron commercial plus brand new footage of the toy being transformed by hand.

*'''Optimus Prime and Megatron''' [http://www.ina.fr/pub/culture-et-loisirs/video/PUB3784063100/transformers-robot-jouet.fr.html]
: ''Notes:'' Edited down and dubbed version of the American commercial.

* '''Transformers toys''' [http://www.ina.fr/pub/culture-et-loisirs/video/PUB3784063094/transformers-robot-jouet.fr.html]
: ''Notes:'' Combines several clips of the toy segment from the first US toy commercial, one shot from the commercial for [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] and a shot or two from the commercial for Optimus Prime. Also uses the stop motion Seekers from the first US toy commercial.

* '''Constructicons''' [http://www.ina.fr/pub/culture-et-loisirs/video/PUB3784063097/transformers-robot-jouet.fr.html]
: ''Notes:'' Same as the US commercial, but dubbed and trimmed down a bit.

* '''Jumpstarters''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JO4a_mZCpY]
: ''Notes:'' Footage is the same as the US Jumpstarters commercial, but edited down from 30 seconds to 20 and minus the Hasbro "hammer" logo at its conclusion.

* '''Insecticons''' [http://www.ina.fr/pub/culture-et-loisirs/video/PUB3784063101/transformers-robot-jouet.fr.html]
: ''Notes:'' A trimmed down version of the US commercial with footage of the toy segment from the Dinobots commercial tacked on at the end.

* '''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/]

* '''Grendene Sandals''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STDx4wE18Oc]
: A boy wearing Grendene's Transformers sandals runs and jumps through an industrial yard full of oil drums. As he's hopping the last barrel we see him wearing a version of [[Meantime]] that the boy got with his sandals. He throws the toy across the yard only to have it magically land in robot mode and on its feet. The boy runs up onto a platform. Upon checking his watch he realizes it's time to go and grabs his backpack.
: ''Notes:'' Excerpts of Optimus Prime from the 2007 movie are interspersed. The Meantime toy that comes with the shoes is actually a knock-off, the most obvious sign being the fact that it's actually a functional watch unlike the real deal.

[[Image:De_Batas_Jazz-like_Decepticon.jpg|180px|right|thumb|]]
*'''Transformers de Bata''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fG77AH_belA]

: ''Animation:'' [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]] sees the Autobots delivering a shipment of children's dress shoes and reports back to Megatron and [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]]. Soundwave plays back Ravage's findings, which include the specifications of the shoes. Apparently having decided he needed a new pair of kicks, Megatron leads an assault on the Autobot convoy. A live-action boy and girl, wearing the dress shoes, step out of Bumblebee. The children DEFEAT the Decepticons by repelling blasts from Megatron's [[fusion cannon]] using THE SOLES OF THEIR SHOES! That's right. Megatron, [[The Autobots' Secret Weapon|mighty warrior]] and leader of the Decepticons, is felled by FOOTWEAR. After showing Megatron that they have more sole, the Autobots arrive at their destination and start handing out shoes to the local school children. And there was much rejoicing.
: ''Notes:'' The animation models for the characters have some differences in proportions and details compared to their standard models. This is because the animation was not done by the [[Toei|animation studios]] [[AKOM|normally]] [[Unknown Filipino animation studio|contracted]] for such things. Appearing amongst the Decepticons are a Cyclonus-like robot and a bizarre Jazz-like robot with a green helmeted head, upper arms and hands and a new face. Hound is colored a rather bluish green.

Asukasboy: Added UK Transformers: The Movie commercial from late 1986.

{{suite}}
[[Image:UK Autobot Cars Commercial.jpg|250px|right|thumb|]]
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.}}

===United Kingdom===

[[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.
: ''Toy segment:'' Two kids play with Optimus Prime, all of the pre-movie [[Autobot Cars]] and at least four [[Seeker (body-type)|Seekers]]: [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]], [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]], [[Thundercracker (G1)|Thundercracker]], and [[Ramjet (G1)|Ramjet]]. 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?]]
* '''Megatron''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20FDEi6Wsxk&#t=2m45s](short clip)

: ''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!''

* '''Transformers: The Movie''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0Vzgj0Fmio]
: ''Animation:'' Various clips from Transformers: The Movie are shown. One-upping the US "Does Prime die?" commercial, the announcer tell us that this is our chance to "see Optimus Prime and Megatron in their final battle". We are also promised "super new Autobot heroes" (Rodimus is shown), and "evil new Decepticons" (Galvatron & Unicron are showcased).
: ''The ultimate Transformers adventure. ''Transformers: The Movie'' - opens December 12th!''

* '''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.

: ''Animation:'' Powermaster Prime shooting at Darkwing and Dreadwind. Re-used from the American commercials.
: ''Toy segment:'' Re-used from the American commercial.
: ''Notes:'' Same re-recorded Powermaster music.
: ''Optimus Prime's back! He's bigger, super Optimus Prime!''

* '''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]
: ''Notes:'' Uses several clips re-ordered from the US commercial.

*'''Megatron''' [http://www.ina.fr/pub/culture-et-loisirs/video/PUB3784054093/robots-transformers-mb-jouet.fr.html]
: ''Notes:'' Uses the Megatron segment from the US Optimus Prime and Megatron commercial plus brand new footage of the toy being transformed by hand.

*'''Optimus Prime and Megatron''' [http://www.ina.fr/pub/culture-et-loisirs/video/PUB3784063100/transformers-robot-jouet.fr.html]
: ''Notes:'' Edited down and dubbed version of the American commercial.

* '''Transformers toys''' [http://www.ina.fr/pub/culture-et-loisirs/video/PUB3784063094/transformers-robot-jouet.fr.html]
: ''Notes:'' Combines several clips of the toy segment from the first US toy commercial, one shot from the commercial for [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] and a shot or two from the commercial for Optimus Prime. Also uses the stop motion Seekers from the first US toy commercial.

* '''Constructicons''' [http://www.ina.fr/pub/culture-et-loisirs/video/PUB3784063097/transformers-robot-jouet.fr.html]
: ''Notes:'' Same as the US commercial, but dubbed and trimmed down a bit.

* '''Jumpstarters''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JO4a_mZCpY]
: ''Notes:'' Footage is the same as the US Jumpstarters commercial, but edited down from 30 seconds to 20 and minus the Hasbro "hammer" logo at its conclusion.

* '''Insecticons''' [http://www.ina.fr/pub/culture-et-loisirs/video/PUB3784063101/transformers-robot-jouet.fr.html]
: ''Notes:'' A trimmed down version of the US commercial with footage of the toy segment from the Dinobots commercial tacked on at the end.

* '''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?]]
* '''Aerialbots/Protectobots/Stunticons/Combaticons''' [http://www.ina.fr/pub/culture-et-loisirs/video/PUB3784074073/hasbro-transformers-jouet-robot.fr.html]
:''Notes:'' Uses the animation from the Stunticons & Aerialbots commercial along with a newly filmed toy segment featuring the four teams combining.

He throws the toy across the yard only to have it magically land in robot mode and on its feet. The boy runs up onto a platform. Upon checking his watch he realizes it's time to go and grabs his backpack.
: ''Notes:'' Excerpts of Optimus Prime from the 2007 movie are interspersed. The Meantime toy that comes with the shoes is actually a knock-off, the most obvious sign being the fact that it's actually a functional watch unlike the real deal.

A live-action boy and girl, wearing the dress shoes, step out of Bumblebee. The children DEFEAT the Decepticons by repelling blasts from Megatron's [[fusion cannon]] using THE SOLES OF THEIR SHOES! That's right. Megatron, [[The Autobots' Secret Weapon|mighty warrior]] and leader of the Decepticons, is felled by FOOTWEAR.

Asukasboy: /* Dinobots */ new section

==Euro releases==
According to Rob Jung's old toy list, the Prime and Megatron gobots and the Autobot Cyberjets were not released in Europe, and the oll Tech Spec archive has no mention of them. If anyone knows otherwise, please make appropriate changes.--[[User:129.110.193.133|129.110.193.133]] 15:58, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

I've amended the details for the Dinobots from Grey only to Blue, Green and Orange only (for Grimlock, Slag and Snarl respectively). Those are definitely the standard colours for the Euro versions, as depicted in the Fleetway comic, and the only G2 ones I've ever seen or bought at retail or second-hand. --[[User:Asukasboy|Asukasboy]] 15:53, 7 December 2010 (EST)

Asukasboy: Amended colour details for the Dinobots from Grey only to Blue, Green and Orange.

{{nav-G2}}

In 1994, Hasbro UK and Hasbro International followed [[Hasbro]]'s lead and released the Generation 2 line.

==1994==
This year's releases started the trend of the European toys having shortened on-package [[bio]]s, as some specs only had the figure's name, function and motto. Most of the releases of the new mold and early G1 recolor toys had different quotes. Also, instead of getting the US version of the Small Autobot Cars, Color Changers, and Small Jets, Europe, Australia and New Zealand got a re-release of the 1993 G1 line repackaged in G2 packaging, complete with shortened bios.

Warrior Robot Game

2010-12-05T22:16:25Z

Asukasboy: New page: Smokescreen's here to play SHOOTS & Ladders. And he's all out of ladders. '''The Transformers Warrior Robot Game''' is a board ga...

[[Image:Warrior_robot_game_box_art.jpg|right|400px|thumb|Smokescreen's here to play SHOOTS & Ladders. And he's all out of ladders.]]
'''The Transformers Warrior Robot Game''' is a board game that was produced by Waddingtons and released in the United Kingdom in 1985. A variation on Snakes & Ladders (or Chutes & Ladders in the US), each player assumes control of two unnamed Transformers and tries to make it from their start position to the end of the grid.

What it lacks in snakes, chutes or ladders, it makes up for in [[Slag (G1)|Slag]] being fired into the air out of an Autobot symbol.

Ages: 6 to Adult

Number of Players: 2-4

Playing Time: Interminably long

Equipment: 8 Plastic Transformers (2x red, 2x blue, 2x yellow and 2x green), Playing Area, 2 Dice, Instructions.

==Game play==
[[Image:Warrior_robot_game_board.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Look at that. Now your Grimlock is at ''refrigerator'' five.]]
[[Image:Warrior_robot_game_pieces.jpg|right|300px|thumb|"BEFORE [[Robot Powered Machines|RPMS]] WAS... WE WAS!"]]
Players select a colour and place both of their Transformers (in car form) in the two matching spaces on a corner of the board. Each player throws a dice and whoever gets the highest score goes first. Both dice are thrown to determine how many positions forward one can progress; at this stage in the game, while everyone is in car form, the player can choose to split the number of moves according to the two dice and move both of their Transformers, or combine this number and move only one Transformer. All the players take turns doing this and moving around the outer edge of the board. Landing on certain points on the outside track will also allow the player to punish his enemies and send them back a number of places, determined by a roll of a single dice.

Once either of the player's Transformers has completed a full rotation of the outer board and returned to their own corner, they can move onto the inner board, and it's at this point the similarities to Snakes & Ladders really kick in. This section of the board is split into 80 spaces, the final marked "WIN". To reach this point and win the game one must get both their Transformers onto this inner grid and up to the finish point. Autobot symbols serve the same purpose as ladders, allowing participants to jump one of their Transformers several rows up. Conversely, landing on a Decepticon symbol is akin to a snake or chute in the traditional game, and can send a Transformer three, four or even five rows back down the grid. Faction symbols also add a further twist to gameplay, however: cars which land on these spots become robots by standing the pieces on their ends. A robot will only progress around the board with a single throw of the dice rather than two, and so a player who has both a robot and a car must decide whether to throw single dice to move his robot, or double dice to move his car.

Reaching the goal is trickier than it may seem. Two of the Decepticon symbols are located at the top of the inner grid, near this end point, waiting to send players back down several rows. The player is also required to throw the exact number of moves required to progress into the goal space; if they roll a higher number they must move into the goal and then "reverse" back out of it for the number of spaces remaining. Given that those two Decepticon symbols are placed so close to the end point, frequently you can find yourself on the verge of winning only to be hurled back down to the middle of the board. This torture continues until a chance roll of the dice wins the game.

Although the game is largely one of chance, it could be argued there is a somewhat greater element of strategy than in traditional Snakes & Ladders. As each participant has two game pieces, success can be dependent on using one's turn strategically to make sure the correct piece is moved, landing in the correct spaces and avoiding traps.

==Gameboard==
The "outer track" is a square set of 32 spaces, with two per corner allocated to one player's pair of Transformers, and these coloured points lead into the yellow inner section of the board. These 80 yellow spaces run from left to right and back again over nine rows. There are nine Autobot symbols on the board, which grant a player the opportunity to jump up the board. These are mostly distributed across the bottom and middle of the board. Throughout the middle and top of the board are six Decepticon symbols, to send unlucky players back down the grid. Because of this distribution the difficulty of the game becomes greater as the player progresses.

Each Decepticon symbol leads down a smoky path to an illustration of an explosion. Autobot symbols depict a character being fired from the emblem up the grid:

* [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] (dinosaur mode)
* [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]]
* [[Slag (G1)|Slag]] (dinosaur mode)
* [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]]
* [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]]
* [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]
* [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]] (jet mode)
* [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]]
* [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]]

==Notes==
* The colour of robot you select affects where you begin on the inner grid once you have performed a full rotation around the outside of the board. Green robots must enter through the bottom left-hand corner of the board and work their way up from space 1. Red cars enter at space 9 from the lower right-hand corner. In the upper left-hand corner, blue players make their way in from the 72nd space. Yellow cars enter at point 80 - yes, the last spot on the board, from the upper right-hand corner. This means that in theory, with the correct roll of the dice a yellow car can end up in winning position and bypass the inner board completely, although since two Transformers must reach the goal to win and rolling a high number will send you back down the board, bypassing the inner grid with both yellow cars would be tricky.
* The box art depicts a battle above the Earth between Autobots and Decepticons, with [[Smokescreen (G1)|Smokescreen]] firing upon [[Bombshell (G1)|Bombshell]]. Other characters in the background include [[Shrapnel (G1)|Shrapnel]], [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]], [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]], [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]] and a tiny moonwalking [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]]. All of the designs are heavily based upon their original package art, while the characters on the game board itself are original depictions based on the toys themselves.
* The "Warrior Robot Game" title is a hold-over from the first year or two of the life of the Generation 1 Franchise in the United Kingdom, when they were promoted under the tagline "Warrior Robots In Disguise". Once the premise had been firmly established and everyone understood the Transformers were gun-toting warmongering types, this was shortened to "Robots in Disguise".

{{suite}}
[[Image:UK Autobot Cars Commercial.jpg|250px|right|thumb|]]
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.}}

* '''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)

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!]]

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.

: ''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 this 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]

: 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]

* '''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/]

After showing Megatron that they have more sole, the Autobots arrive at their destination and start handing out shoes to the local school children. And there was much rejoicing.

Asukasboy:

==Duocons/Throttlebots ad screencap==
Hey, any chance you could take a screencap of the Throttlebots in robot mode and scooting forward in a line? I'd like to add one to the International commercial page and I figure you could produce a better screencap with the original video than I can with the YouTube version. For that matter, I'd like to get the original versions of your YouTube vids if that's not a problem? --[[User:Tigerpaw28|Tigerpaw28]] 14:47, 19 August 2010 (EDT)

Here we go. Sadly this is the most hi-res image I could provide since the video is a poor quality RealMedia file someone uploaded more than ten years ago:

Asukasboy: Added info regarding the UK release of the PC version.

'''Beast Wars: Transformers''' is a third-person shooting game released for the PC platform in 1998. It was later [[wikipedia:Shovelware|ported]] to the Sony PlayStation platform.

Players picked their side and sent their Transformers on missions against both the opposing side and the extradimensional [[Skriix]] aliens.

==Plot==
{{note|This game takes place in an alternate version of the [[Beast Wars (event)|Beast Wars]], branching off from main continuity during the first season of the cartoon, presumably at least after [[Inferno (BW)|Inferno]]'s introduction in "[[Spider's Game]]".}}
[[Image:Bw game wtf.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Dude! Dude. Seriously... what in the Pit?!]]
Both Maximals and Predacons have been battling on prehistoric earth for an extensive period of time. So long have they been stranded on this hostile planet, that each warrior now has their own personal base and army, each located in a separate region of the planet. However, as the battle between the Predacons and the Maximals rages on, the aliens known as the Skriix invade the planet, forcing both faction to take arms against this new threat.

==Gameplay==
The basic object of the game is to run around blindly and shoot everything in sight. You have two meters: your life meter and an energon meter that drains while you're in robot mode (switching to beast mode stops the process and allows it to slowly refill, but you can't attack in this mode regardless of what dangerous beast you are). Both sides have four characters you can play as, and if you lose one, they're lost for good unless you can find a "rescue" icon in the level and complete the resultant rescue mission. It is generally a few shades this side of sadomasochistic.

==Playable characters==
===[[Maximal]]s===
* [[Optimus Primal]] (normal and "rescue" levels)
* [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]]
* [[Rattrap]]
* [[Dinobot (BW)|Dinobot]]
* [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]]
* [[Airazor (BW)|Airazor]] ("rescue" levels only)

===[[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]]s===
* [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]]
* [[Scorponok (BW)|Scorponok]]
* [[Tarantulas]]
* [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]]
* [[Inferno (BW)|Inferno]] (normal and "rescue" levels)
* [[Terrorsaur (BW)|Terrorsaur]] ("rescue" levels only)

==Notes==
* A game model was made for [[Waspinator (BW)|Waspinator]] with plans to have him in the game, but those ultimately fell through.
* The Beast Wars cast did not reprise their characters' voices for the game, and while their presence would have made the game WAAAAAAY better, it's probably best that they managed to avoid marching in this crap parade.
* While the Playstation version of the game was limited to a single-player affair, the PC version surprisingly had an option to play with up to 8 people over LAN or online; in fact, for a while during the game's release, the MSN Gaming Zone reserved several rooms for multiplayer Beast Wars games. "Fans" of the game claim this is enough to dredge the game out from being horrible to barely mediocre.
* Upon its release in the UK, the PC version of the game was available bundled with a regular-class Beast Wars figure, making it a not-completely worthless purchase.

However, as the battle between the Predacons and the Maximals rages on, the aliens known as the Skriix invade the planet, forcing both faction to take arms against this new threat.

==Gameplay==
The basic object of the game is to run around blindly and shoot everything in sight. You have two meters: your life meter and an energon meter that drains while you're in robot mode (switching to beast mode stops the process and allows it to slowly refill, but you can't attack in this mode regardless of what dangerous beast you are). Both sides have four characters you can play as, and if you lose one, they're lost for good unless you can find a "rescue" icon in the level and complete the resultant rescue mission. It is generally a few shades this side of sadomasochistic.

==Playable characters==
===[[Maximal]]s===
* [[Optimus Primal]] (normal and "rescue" levels)
* [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]]
* [[Rattrap]]

==Notes==
* A game model was made for [[Waspinator (BW)|Waspinator]] with plans to have him in the game, but those ultimately fell through.
* The Beast Wars cast did not reprise their characters' voices for the game, and while their presence would have made the game WAAAAAAY better, it's probably best that they managed to avoid marching in this crap parade.
* While the Playstation version of the game was limited to a single-player affair, the PC version surprisingly had an option to play with up to 8 people over LAN or online; in fact, for a while during the game's release, the MSN Gaming Zone reserved several rooms for multiplayer Beast Wars games. "Fans" of the game claim this is enough to dredge the game out from being horrible to barely mediocre.

The US 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.}}

*'''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:'' [[Blitzwing (G1)|Blitzwing]] swoops down; Ultra Magnus and his carrier full of Autobots transform in front a volcano. An excerpt from the animated footage used in the US Battlechargers commercial. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BkbxA9Zc7o]

: ''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.

: ''Animation:'' Hot Rod and Kup transform to attack Starscream and Skywarp. 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 Takara's Diaclone Car Robots Porsche 935 Turbo (Jazz) commercial. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxlcU_3SQ3U]

: ''Toy segment:'' Bruticus looms over Goldbug, but 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.

* '''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 Throttlebots 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]
: ''Kid segment:'' 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.

: ''Kid segment:'' Same as the Sparkabots/Firecons commercial.

Ironhide and 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.

* '''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]

: 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]

* '''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?]]

The US 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.}}

: ''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:'' 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 and Kup transform to attack Starscream and Skywarp. 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 Takara's Diaclone Car Robots Porsche 935 Turbo (Jazz) commercial. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxlcU_3SQ3U]
: ''The Decepticons' days are numbered!''

* '''Autobot Heroes - Rodimus Prime and Wreck-Gar''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IA28zT6vqEw] (French audio)

: ''Notes:'' 1987's commercials resemble those of 1986, but for this year only no longer borrow any animated footage from their US counterparts.

* '''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 Throttlebots 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]
: ''Kid segment:'' 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.

: ''Kid segment:'' Same as the Sparkabots/Firecons commercial.

: ''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 and both instantly convert from car to robot. Ironhide and 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.

* '''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 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]

: ''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.

Cadbury's Transformers Card Game

2010-08-10T22:37:56Z

Asukasboy: New page: Forget Galvatron - Colonel Ka-taffy is up to his old tricks! '''Cadbury's Transformers Card Game''' is a promotional item ...

[[Image:Cadbury's_Card_Game_front_package.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Forget Galvatron - Colonel Ka-taffy is up to his old tricks!]]
'''Cadbury's Transformers Card Game''' is a promotional item produced for chocolate firm Cadbury's by Waddingtons Games Ltd. in 1986. Featuring a number of Transformers available in the UK toy line in that year, it makes [[Optimus_Prime_(G1)/toys#PepsiPrime2007 |Pepsi Optimus Prime]] look like a spokesperson for [http://www.commercialfreechildhood.org/ Campaign For A Commercial-Free Childhood.]

==Rules==
2-4 players can participate in the cross-promoti-- uh, fun. The object of the game is to collect four identical cards of any given Transformer. A designated dealer shuffles the pack, dealing four cards face-down to each player. The remaining cards are placed in a pile, face down, in the middle of the table with the top card removed and turned face up to start a discard pile next to the first pile.

The player to the left of the dealer starts the game. Remembering that the object of the game is to collect four cards of a single Transformer, each player takes turns to choose a card from either the turned-up discard pile or the main pile. If a player decides to keep one of these cards then he or she must put a card from their hand face upwards onto the discard pile. If a player turns over a top card from the main pile then decides not to keep it, this card is also put face-up onto the discard pile.

[[Image:Cadbury's_Card_Game_Runamuck.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Hasbro Exec: "Now we only have room for seven toys in this game, so we'd better use the good ones."]]Play continues with each player trying to collect a set of four pictures. If the main pile is finished before anyone has collected four cards then the discard pile is shuffled and placed face-downwards with the top card removed as at the beginning of the game. This continues until one player collects four cards of a single character.

==Cards==

Four cards are included for each of the seven characters, along with two instruction cards, bringing the total to 30:

===Notes===
*Each character is represented by line art of their toy, along with their name, sub-line designation (e.g. "Mini Vehicle" for Bumblebee), and faction logo.
* Both the pack containing the game and the art on the cards are in black-and-white. Only the back of the cards sport any colour - the Cadbury's "Glass-And-A-Half" logo in its distinctive purple.
* Any resemblance to [http://chocobot.ytmnd.com/ The Mattel & Mars Quick-Energy Chocobot Hour] is purely... ''delicious''.

The US 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.}}

*'''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:'' [[Blitzwing (G1)|Blitzwing]] swoops down; Ultra Magnus and his carrier full of Autobots transform in front a volcano. An excerpt from the animated footage used in the US Battlechargers commercial. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BkbxA9Zc7o]

: ''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 Takara's Diaclone Car Robots Porsche 935 Turbo (Jazz) commercial. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxlcU_3SQ3U]
: ''The Decepticons' days are numbered!''

* '''Autobot Heroes - Rodimus Prime and Wreck-Gar''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IA28zT6vqEw] (French audio)

: ''Notes:'' 1987's commercials resemble those of 1986, but for this year only no longer borrow any animated footage from their US counterparts.

: ''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.

: ''Animation:'' Re-used footage from the US 1985 Autobot Cars commercial, of Smokescreen, Tracks, Inferno, Hoist, 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 and both instantly convert from car to robot. Ironhide and 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.

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!"

: 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]

: ''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.
