:Legitimate question: how old are you? Not trying to be mean, but almost all of the questions you are asking are answered directly in the article, including this one. [[User:Escargon|Escargon]] ([[User talk:Escargon|talk]]) 14:31, 16 September 2019 (EDT)
::I can tell you are mentioning the thing I said on the Fallen page.

:::No, I'm talking about this article as well. It very clearly states in both the toy and notes section that because Mattel held the Ferrari license at the time for ''Hot Wheels'', Hasbro couldn't use the actual car. [[User:Escargon|Escargon]] ([[User talk:Escargon|talk]]) 15:00, 16 September 2019 (EDT)
I've looked very thoroughly in the toys section it does not mention the Mattel licensing issues, however, you were right about it mentioning the problems in the notes section. Is it possible in the future Hasbro could come out with an accurate Mirage figure?
:Not likely. Mattel would have to lose the Ferrari license and Hasbro would have to then get said license before they could make a toy that actually looked like a Ferrari. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] ([[User talk:Khajidha|talk]]) 17:26, 16 September 2019 (EDT)

== Move to Dino ==
I agree with changing his name to '''Dino''' as it is the name spoken within the film and he now has three toys supporting this name. If this character was really meant to be called '''Mirage''' then I would think that HasTak would make more of an effort to support this which they haven't. I know he is loosely based off of the G1 character and even early concept art depicted him having the power of invisiblity, but the film itself doesn't support this ability at all. In conclusion I agree with the move to Dino and having '''(AKA Mirage)''' in the opening paragraph of his page. {{unsigned|Fanofcoolstuff27}}
:In my opinion it's mostly a matter of what Hasbro considers the "real" name to be. Brawl has consistently been "Brawl" on toys rather than "Devastator", so I think we can assume that's still Hasbro's preference. Dino, by contrast, is now being called Dino rather than Mirage. (We have yet to see any updated toys of Que/Wheeljack, but I wouldn't be surprised if somewhere down the line we get an ST "Autobot Que" toy.) --[[User:Riptide|Riptide]] ([[User talk:Riptide|talk]]) 18:19, 13 November 2020 (EST)
::Oops, thanks for adding my signature, I made sure I had everything in check before posting and that still managed to slip my mind smh. And yeah, I believe Hasbro using "Devastator" for Brawl would also cause too much confusion for fans since we got a "correct" Devastator in ROTF. Besides, all early concepts for the character and the naming from Hasbro was originally Brawl anyway, it was Michael Bay (and maybe a few others behind the scenes) who preferred the name Devastator, which I do think is pretty fitting for a tank Decepticon who single-handedly held off the Autobots until the other Decepticons arrived in Mission City.
::As for Hasbro using certain names as their preference would still indicate that Dino is the name we'll see the most, since we haven't seen him being called "Mirage" in any toys, merchandise or fiction since 2012 at the latest. [[User:Fanofcoolstuff27|Fanofcoolstuff27]] ([[User talk:Fanofcoolstuff27|talk]]) 18:50, 13 November 2020 (EST)
:::There's also the change in authority that's happened at Hasbro since DOTM to consider. Before, it was Aaron Archer and Friends who named the Cyberverse Legion and Speed Stars toys "Mirage" and made the tie-in comics and video games use that name, while its now the current team who are onboard with the onscreen name of "Dino", using it for both the Tiny Turbo Changer and the Studio Series figure, and don't seem to care all that much about the old team's insistence of the "Mirage" name. --[[User:Sabrblade|Sabrblade]] ([[User talk:Sabrblade|talk]]) 18:59, 13 November 2020 (EST)
::::That is also very true, it would also explain the retcon with Skipjack now being Devastator's left leg instead of a yellow Rampage. Not to mention the fact that Hasbro based all the earlier toys for Rampage off of the concept art for the old yellow design and possibly made the connection much like they did with all the other Constructicons (Mixmaster and Long Haul for example) and made Rampage the same character as at the time they didn't know the finished Rampage in the film was made orange/red. [[User:Fanofcoolstuff27|Fanofcoolstuff27]] ([[User talk:Fanofcoolstuff27|talk]]) 19:13, 13 November 2020 (EST)
Alright, so my position on the name change has been swayed after seeing the images of the kill card props for AOE specifically stating him as "Mirage". This would indicate that he was only ever called "Dino" as a nickname (in-universe of course) due to his Ferrari alternate form.

With that cleared up more or less, on a prop used specifically for the film, should we remove the move suggestion at the top of the page? (I'm not entirely sure who added it or when it was added). [[User:Fanofcoolstuff27|Fanofcoolstuff27]] ([[User talk:Fanofcoolstuff27|talk]]) 04:19, 15 November 2020 (EST)
:A minor prop and your speculation are not definitive statements. [[User:Saix|Saix]] ([[User talk:Saix|talk]]) 06:55, 15 November 2020 (EST)
::Fair enough, where do you stand on the name change? [[User:Fanofcoolstuff27|Fanofcoolstuff27]] ([[User talk:Fanofcoolstuff27|talk]]) 07:37, 15 November 2020 (EST)
:::I for one believe that DOTM's namedrop weights more than the AOE's playing card that we ''barely'' get to see in the movie. We also have more toys named Dino rather than Mirage by now, so I would be okay with the move. [[User:Fritz|Fritz]] ([[User talk:Fritz|talk]]) 12:35, 15 November 2020 (EST)
::::Even if "Dino" is just his nickname or alias, it can still be the name of this article since its the more prominent moniker. We have Leland Bishop's article at "Silas", after all. --[[User:Sabrblade|Sabrblade]] ([[User talk:Sabrblade|talk]]) 17:17, 15 November 2020 (EST)
Okay, if there's no objections, I'll move this in the next few days...? --[[User:Riptide|Riptide]] ([[User talk:Riptide|talk]]) 11:46, 17 November 2020 (EST)
::Sounds good. [[User:Fanofcoolstuff27|Fanofcoolstuff27]] ([[User talk:Fanofcoolstuff27|talk]]) 15:39, 17 November 2020 (EST)

This is a little weird to me - we haven't moved all the many G1 characters whose modern toys have different names... --[[User:Flicky1991|flicky]][[User talk:Flicky1991|1991]] 08:34, 20 November 2020 (EST)
::Those names were changed due to trademark reasons. Dino's name was used in most fiction and with most of his toys supporting this name, means that it's the name HasTak prefers to use for the character. [[User:Fanofcoolstuff27|Fanofcoolstuff27]] ([[User talk:Fanofcoolstuff27|talk]]) 14:26, 20 November 2020 (EST)
:::This situation is more in line with the Jetfire/Skyfire debate from back when the character was first introduced in G1 (both names existed since basically the character's introduction), rather than any recent name changes to characters who had only one name established for decades prior. [[User:Fritz|Fritz]] ([[User talk:Fritz|talk]]) 14:31, 20 November 2020 (EST)

== Split Mirage (ROTB)? ==
I'm not sure if this might prove controversial (apologies if so), but it seems reasonable to me to split off ROTB Mirage from this page. Two main reasons:
*Mirage's prominence in the marketing for ROTB means this page will likely become popular with casual viewers over the next few months, and it seems needlessly confusing for these people looking for info on the blue Porsche guy named Mirage to be redirected to a page on this red Ferrari guy named Dino (who also goes by Mirage sometimes, please see the notes section to understand why you are on this page)
*Given that all recent official material has referred to Dino as such, it seems reasonable to assume that Hasbro/Paramount considers the Mirage name obsolete for Dino, and would thus view ROTB Mirage as a different character. Obviously, not working for either company, I can't be 100% certain on this, and am willing to be proven wrong once the movie releases if they do indeed decide to connect the two.
Does anyone have any points against the split? It just seems a lot more casual user friendly to keep them separate, at least for now. [[User:BT383|BT383]] ([[User talk:BT383|talk]]) 14:37, 13 February 2023 (EST)
:I think that makes sense. I would also argue that Wheeljack prrrrrrobably isn't meant to be the G1-looking guy from Bumblebee ''or'' the Robot Einstein from ROTF, but I guess we don't actually have any characterisation for Wheeljack yet, so it's a ''bit'' more ambiguous. --[[User:Riptide|Riptide]] ([[User talk:Riptide|talk]]) 15:05, 13 February 2023 (EST)

In this particular situation, I don’t necessarily disagree. What I do disagree with is the notion that just because Hasbro decides something retroactively means we have to bend over backwards to accommodate it. It’s entirely against the point of the wiki to do so, and it’s become more and more of a recurring point that people have tried to push and I for one am absolutely pushing for nipping that sort of behavior in the bud. [[User:Escargon|Escargon]] ([[User talk:Escargon|talk]]) 15:20, 13 February 2023 (EST)
:I'm not sure I follow. Do you mean "Hasbro considers Mirage to be "Dino"?" Because that's more of an instance of "previously, the toys and fiction didn't line up, so we defaulted to the Toyline Name; but now the fiction name is being used in the toyline, so the one that's used across both should take precedence". --[[User:Riptide|Riptide]] ([[User talk:Riptide|talk]]) 18:28, 13 February 2023 (EST)
::I'm talking in general. If it weren't for the ROTB guy, I would not be convinced that because Hasbro keeps calling him Dino, that his namespace should be at Dino. Just because Hasbro does something now doesn't erase the original intent. [[User:Escargon|Escargon]] ([[User talk:Escargon|talk]]) 21:07, 13 February 2023 (EST)
Shouldn't it be "(Movie)", considering that silly 3D card thing? [[User:Saix|Saix]] ([[User talk:Saix|talk]]) 16:30, 21 February 2023 (EST)
::It should probably be split into 3 segments then. Movie for the 3D Battle Card, Dino for DOTM and Mirage (ROTB) for the one in the movie.
::Or just have ROTB Mirage have a toggle switch section here so we don't necassarily have to split. Just like with UT Mirage and Tidal Wave.--[[User:Poliwag06|Poliwag06]] ([[User talk:Poliwag06|talk]]) 21:14, 18 May 2023 (EDT)
:::good god no we're not splitting the 3D card into its own page --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] ([[User talk:M Sipher|talk]]) 23:05, 18 May 2023 (EDT)
We ABSOLUTELY don't need to put any Mirages at (Movie) because of the card thing. Just "Dino" and "Mirage (ROTB)". [[User:McBaggins|McBaggins]] ([[User talk:McBaggins|talk]]) 02:51, 19 May 2023 (EDT)
::Yeah, the card can go wherever, who cares, but ROTB Mirage absolutely needs to be separated from Dino. [[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] ([[User talk:KilMichaelMcC|talk]]) 05:58, 20 May 2023 (EDT)
::True. To play safe tho, let's just use the approach we took for the "intended to be a different character but was repurposed to be the same guy" Energon characters like Energon roadblock, Energon Mirage etc.[[User:Poliwag06|Poliwag06]] ([[User talk:Poliwag06|talk]]) 06:12, 20 May 2023 (EDT)

Surely it is clear enough at this point that ROTB Mirage needs his own page separate from Dino, yes? I mean right now anyone looking up movie info and following the Mirage link from the main article cast list gets sent to this page with its opening paragraph all about the random red guy with the different name from an earlier movie.[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] ([[User talk:KilMichaelMcC|talk]]) 10:20, 7 June 2023 (EDT)

Talk:Transformers: Classic Heroes Team

2022-08-17T22:55:31Z

KilMichaelMcC:

I am dubious about reclassing these as G1 rather than Rescue Bots. Yes, I know the Rescue Bots name doesn't appear on the package, but "Classic Heroes Team" has in fact been used by Hasbro for RB characters see this Heatwave:

[https://transformers.hasbro.com/en-us/product/transformers-rescue-bots-academy-classic-heroes-team-heatwave-the-fire-bot-converting-toy-4-5-inch-figure-kids-ages-3-and-up:CC54FF1C-EFFE-4E4C-92B3-A53DC88D4A7F]

for example. --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] ([[User talk:KilMichaelMcC|talk]]) 17:19, 7 February 2022 (EST)
:It's due to the fact that it uses the [[Evergreen]] art primarily used for G1 media.—[[User:DDog|DDog]] ([[User talk:DDog|talk]]) 17:45, 7 February 2022 (EST)
::Yeah, I get that, but nevertheless, you have Rescue Bots redecos and RB-style new molds, under a label "Classic Heroes Team" which has already been used for Rescue Bots toys, and even the product description...

''Imagine helping the Autobots save the day! These toys are ready to take to the streets and charge to the rescue! Kids ages 3 and up can pretend there is a dangerous situation unfolding and convert the brave 4.5-inch action figure from a robot to a vehicle they can imagine racing to the scene for a courageous rescue.''

...is straight-up Rescue Bots stuff. So, like I said, I am dubious about grouping this into G1 regards of said art.--[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] ([[User talk:KilMichaelMcC|talk]]) 20:32, 7 February 2022 (EST)
:::That just reads like generic toddler toy writeup. We have things like Buzzworthy Bumblebee and Generations that don't indicate "continuity families", so reuse of labeling for young kid toys isn't really that convincing to me. [[User:Saix|Saix]] ([[User talk:Saix|talk]]) 21:27, 7 February 2022 (EST)
::::Okay, but since CHT is somewhat like Buzzworthy about disregarding continuity families, couldn't we still consider at least Prime and Bumblebee to be their Aligned selves? They're literally the same toys from Rescue Bots being rereleased again after multiple other rereleases, just like the Heatwave toy mentioned above. It's similar to how we consider the Buzzworthy Crash Combiners to still be their RID selves even though their packaging doesn't point that out. Grimlock is a little dubious to me but I'm fine with him being either G1 or RBA, and Primal could still follow the "it's just a new kid-friendly toy of the same old character" logic and be included in the BW character page. Any thoughts? --[[User:Fritz|Fritz]] ([[User talk:Fritz|talk]]) 22:37, 7 February 2022 (EST)
:::When I said "straight-up Rescue Bots stuff" I meant "this is the same exact text used previously for Rescue Bots product descriptions, which is why it's about imaging your toys racing to do rescues and so forth." I mean to me this all reads as Rescue Bots/RBA Continued Just Without The Name, regardless of the art. --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] ([[User talk:KilMichaelMcC|talk]]) 23:19, 7 February 2022 (EST)
::::To add an additional point to my argument that these should be classed as RB rather than G1, here's an Entertainment Earth listing for them as "Transformers Rescue Bots All-Stars Rescan Wave 3" [https://www.entertainmentearth.com/product/transformers-rescue-bots-allstars-rescan-wave-3-case-of-6/hsf0719c] --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] ([[User talk:KilMichaelMcC|talk]]) 17:18, 17 March 2022 (EDT)
::::: Uh, I've read this discussion before I got an account, and I thought this might be important, or it might be a different toyline. Idk, because it isn't listed anywhere on the wiki.

So I am now reversing my earlier argued position that these guys should be classed as Rescue Bots and not G1, given the inclusion of Megatron in the line isn't very RB-ish and the distinction that can be seen between the earlier "Classic Heroes Team" toys which still carried Rescue Bots Academy branding and then the later ones which do not. This article still needs updating to reflect that "Classic Heroes Team" refers to to two things: the earlier RBA toys with the label and then the subsequent on-it's-own-in-Evergreen-land line. --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] ([[User talk:KilMichaelMcC|talk]]) 18:55, 17 August 2022 (EDT)

{{disambig3|Generations}}
{{Template:Nav-GensAll}}
[[File:Generations 2015 Toyline logo.png|thumb|upright=0.9|Insignia-like logo used on packaging for late 2014-onward ''Generations'' toys, in combination with the [[:File:Transformers 2014 logo.png|new generic ''Transformers'' logo]].]]
'''''Transformers: Generations''''' is a branding applied to several collector-oriented toylines. The name was first introduced for a specific line of figures launched in 2010, but as the amount of collector-focused product released by Hasbro has increased over time it has become more of a generic label, used consistently since mid-2012 across multiple different series. ''Generations'' was predated by the earlier 2006 ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' and 2008 [[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|''Universe'']] lines, along with much of the 2010 [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|''Transformers'']] line. These toylines all share a focus on celebrating the history of the brand, creating new toys of older ''Transformers'' [[character]]s (usually from [[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]], but occasionally later series).

==Overview==
[[File:ClassicsStarscream toy.jpg|thumb|upright=0.9||''Classics'' Starscream'']]
[[File:Powerglideuniversetoy.jpg|thumb|upright=0.9||''Universe'' Powerglide'']]
Although Hasbro had dabbled with nostalgia-based lines in the past—such as with the likes of the 2003 ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' line, ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]''—the back-to-basics approach used by ''Classics'' proved an unexpected hit with fans. Conceived as a short line of homages to bide time before the delayed release of [[Transformers (film)|the first live-action ''Transformers'' film]], ''Classics'' modernized many popular characters, and after the runaway success of the first movie Hasbro followed it up with ''Universe'', expanding its scope to cover characters from the likes of ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Armada (toyline)|Armada]]'' for [[Transformers brand|the brand]]'s 25th anniversary. [[TakaraTomy]] released their own version of these lines in the form of ''[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (toyline)|Henkei! Henkei!]]''. By the time of ''Generations'', fans widely used the acronym '''"CHUG"''' (''Classics, Henkei!, Universe, Generations'') to refer to these lines as a whole, or as a label for their shared aesthetic—but this acronym quickly stopped being comprehensive as more lines came and went (with various ''Generations'' sublines covering the vast majority of toys released in this design paradigm), and never made it into official use.

[[File:TF2010 deluxe SpecialOpsJazz.jpg|thumb|upright=0.9||''Reveal the Shield'' Special Ops Jazz]]
Between movies, a generic [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|''Transformers'' toyline]] ran to keep movie-style figures on shelves—but particularly with its ''[[Transformers (2010 toyline)#Hasbro Reveal the Shield subline|Reveal the Shield]]'' [[subline imprint]], which ran concurrently with ''Generations'', Hasbro also used it as an outlet to release even more toys in the ''Generations'' style. Various molds were [[retool|shared]] between the two lines, such as the [[Tracks (G1)/toys#Transformers (2010)|Turbo Tracks]]/[[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#Generations|Wheeljack]] and [[Wreck-Gar (G1)#Transformers (2010)|Wreck-Gar]]/[[Junkyard (G1)#Generations|Junkheap]] molds. A third concurrent line, [[Power Core Combiners]], also took inspiration from several Generation 1 characters. Most of the toys from this time were released by Takara in their ''[[Transformers United]]'' and ''[[Transformers United#United EX|United EX]]'' toylines.

''Generations'' was envisioned as an outlet for toys from Hasbro's burgeoning [[Aligned continuity family|"Aligned"]] continuity family, with several toys of ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (games)|War for Cybertron]]'' characters being released in the initial lineup, but the ''[[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)|Prime]]'' cartoon wound up getting [[Transformers: Prime (toyline)|a fully-fledged toyline of its own]]. ''Generations'' was relaunched in mid-2012 to focus solely on the ''[[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron]]'' sequel game; though Takara had released the first game's toys in ''United'' simply as their [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] selves, they too adopted the ''Generations'' banner for the second game.

For the brand's 30th anniversary, Hasbro again expanded the line's scope with ''[[Thrilling 30]]'', which took [[2005 IDW continuity|IDW Publishing's comic series]] as a principal source of inspiration (even including comics with many of the toys). Much like ''Universe'' before it, the line also drew from a wide range of older franchises for the brand's 30th anniversary, and had releases across the full spectrum of size classes. A couple of waves in, Takara launched ''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Transformers Legends]]'' as their equivalent, also releasing redecoes of some of the Voyager toys as part of their ''[[Transformers Cloud]]'' series. Also in 2014, half of the ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)|Age of Extinction]]'' was delineated separately from the more gimmick-laden assortments, with the ''Generations'' name appearing on the packaging.

[[File:CombinerWarstoy-Ruckus.jpg|thumb|upright=0.9||''Timelines'' [[Ruckus (G1)#Timelines|Grabuge]]]]
''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' (and its Takara equivalent, ''[[Transformers Unite Warriors|Unite Warriors]]'') was the first ''Generations'' line to incorporate a fully-fledged [[play pattern]], and since then every line has had some shared [[gimmick]] across the various size classes. For instance, ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' brought back the [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]] concept, with all toys in the line turning into vehicles or bases for the smaller robots. Beginning with ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'', the longstanding practise of Hasbro and Takara releasing their own distinct versions of the toys was axed, with the toys sold being identical on both sides of the world. These three toylines made up the ''[[Prime Wars Trilogy]]''.

By this point, the toy market had changed significantly enough since ''Classics'' that entire mass-retail lines aimed at collectors were a much safer prospect. The ''Premier Edition'' assortments of the ''[[Transformers: The Last Knight (toyline)|The Last Knight]]'' toyline were replaced by ''[[Studio Series]]'', explicitly under the ''Generations'' banner once more, a dedicated line of new screen-accurate toys of characters from across the entire [[live-action film series]]. Series 3-5 of ''[[Tiny Turbo Changers]]'' were similarly given the ''Generations'' logo, co-branded ''Movie Edition'', and the super-deformed collectible series ''[[Alt-Modes]]'' was entirely sold as ''Generations'' product. Meanwhile, the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (franchise)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' (not to be confused with the earlier video game, though its first instalment—''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]''—was similarly set on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]) ushered in an age of unprecedented adherence to the [[character model]]s of the '80s. Many toys with Cybertronian alt-modes were heavily retooled with more typical Earth-based vehicle modes for ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]''. Finally, ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]'' brought back an unprecedented amount of ''Beast Wars'' characters.

To make way for those ''Beast Wars'' characters, and with the well of onscreen characters from the movies mostly tapped, Hasbro once again turned to their movie line as an outlet for more Generation 1 product—with ''Studio Series'' 86 featuring characters from the animated ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''. Other lines released in this period included the ''[[Transformers Collaborative|Collaborative]]'' series of pop-culture crossover figures, the [[Action Master]]-like ''[[Robot Enhanced Design]]'' series, and the ''Titans Return / Legends'' redeco series ''Retro Headmasters''.

The mainlines have always been complemented by lines of exclusive redecoes and retools. Beginning with the [[BotCon 2007]] box set, [[Fun Publications]] had often aimed to directly complement Hasbro's releases with their ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Transformers Timelines]]'' exclusives, offering niche characters in a similar style (sometimes based on unrealised ideas from Hasbro) until their loss of the ''Transformers'' license in 2016, the same/only year Fun Publications toys were primarily branded under ''Generations'', specifically ''Combiner Wars''. Meanwhile, Hasbro's "[[#GDO|Global Development Organization]]" released a handful of similar toys in Asian markets, and later began producing budget toys of popular characters via ''[[#Cyber Series (2015–2018)|Cyber Series]]''. In the west, Hasbro released a variety of redecoes for ''[[Transformers: Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition]]'' (which in its later years, was folded into ''Generations'') and the generic 2014 ''[[Transformers (2014 toyline)|Transformers]]'' toyline, the latter of which eventually morphed into the ''[[Transformers Authentics|Authentics]]'' budget line. Starting in late 2018, Hasbro's own ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' range took over the ''Timelines'' niche: premium redecoes and retools (usually as more obscure characters) sold in brown cardboard boxes.

===TakaraTomy lines===
{{main|Transformers: Generations (Japan)}}
[[File:TF-UW07-Bruticus.jpg|thumb|upright=0.9||''Unite Warriors'' Bruticus'']]
In Japan, [[TakaraTomy]] employed a constantly-shifting approach to releasing molds sold under Hasbro's ''Generations'' branding. Their first go was ''[[Transformers United]]'', which sold versions of the toys sold under the original 2010 incarnation of ''Generations'', along with ''[[Transformers (2010 toyline)#Hasbro Reveal the Shield subline|Reveal the Shield]]'' molds. All toys, regardless of provenance, were identified as traditional Generation 1 characters. For whatever reason, TakaraTomy decided to end ''United'', using ''[[Power Core Combiners]]'' molds to fill the gap (as "''United EX''") till their newer line, '''''[[Transformers: Generations (Japan)|Transformers: Generations]]'''''. This line took on the branding and visual elements used by Hasbro, selling the ''Fall of Cybertron'' subline and the first half of ''Thrilling 30''. This toyline would also see a short life, only lasting a bit longer than a year being being replaced by ''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Legends]]'', which cemented its own identity by also releasing [[Transformers Legends (comic)|regular accompanying fiction]] (both online and packed in with toys) that was generally set in [[Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity]]. It would also feature many unique figures that had no Hasbro counterpart. Once ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' came around, TakaraTomy started a new line, ''[[Transformers Unite Warriors|Unite Warriors]]'', to collect all of the traditional combiner characters while putting their own twists on the "newer" combiners. ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' did not receive the same treatment, instead being covered wholesale by ''Legends''. Throughout ''Legends'' and ''Unite Warriors'', molds that did not fit TakaraTomy's paradigm for those lines were shunted to ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)#Adventure Series|Adventure]]'', the Japanese counterpart to the 2015 ''Robots in Disguise'' toyline.

''Legends'' continued till ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'', which heralded a new era of marketing alignment between Hasbro and TakaraTomy where they would sell mostly the same Hasbro-initiated product. This is the situation ever since, with TakaraTomy only eking out a few figures of their own, such as a small series of ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' figures and the ''[[Transformers Premium Finish|Premium Finish]]'' line—all sold through the [[TakaraTomy Mall]] online store. However, thanks to the marketing alignment, those products are also sold by Hasbro via their [[Hasbro Pulse]] website, allowing Western customers equal access to TakaraTomy product.

The initial '''''Transformers: Generations''''' line featured only [[Size class|Deluxe Class]] toys, and included both characters from the concurrently released ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (games)|War for Cybertron]]'' video game, and “modernised G1” figures in the spirit of the previous ''Classics'' and ''Universe'' toylines. In a first for the franchise, the [[Drift (G1)#Generations|Drift]] toy and its [[Blurr (G1)#Generations|Blurr]] [[retool]] were based directly on designs created by [[Guido Guidi]] for [[2005 IDW continuity|IDW's comic series]]. The earlier waves of figures sported advertising for [[Hub Network|The Hub]] or ''War for Cybertron''.

===Exclusives===
[[File:GenerationsAsianDeluxes.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|''Top'': Asian market Deluxe packaging ''Bottom'': North American Toys"R"Us packaging]]
In mid-[[2012]], Hasbro's Asian division released a variety of [[redeco]]es and [[retool]]s in their markets such as [[China]], Singapore, and the Philippines. This lineup, which featured the same general packaging design as the 2010–2011 figures, introduced the first non-Deluxe toys in the line (as ''Generations'' had been limited to the Deluxe price point up to that point). Western online retailers referred to these figures under the mysterious term "'''GDO'''", which was later revealed to be an abbreviation for "'''Global Development Organization'''".<ref name="gdo">[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-toy-discussion/637547-i-found-out-what-gdo-means.html TFW2005 thread] containing an answer by Hasbro's customer service regarding the meaning of the term "GDO".</ref>

Hasbro's United States and Canadian divisions later decided to release all these figures in North America as well, as a ''massive'' batch of [[Toys"R"Us]] [[exclusive]]s for the 2012 holiday shopping season. Strangely, while the Asian market versions were released in standard English-only packaging, the versions available in the United States and Canada came in [[Multilingual packaging|bilingual]] English/Chinese packaging. Also, the Deluxes came packaged in their [[alternate mode]]s, whereas the Asian versions were packaged in [[robot mode]].

{{Note|The Leader Class figures were only released in ''Generations'' packaging in Hasbro's Asian markets. While their United States releases were canceled, they ''were'' released in Canada, albeit in bilingual ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' packaging with additional ''[[Movie Trilogy Series]]'' labels for whatever reason.}}

After a six-month hiatus, the ''Generations'' line was relaunched in mid-2012, starting out with the '''''Transformers Generations: Fall of Cybertron''''' toyline with eight Deluxe Class figures, in a line made specifically for characters from the ''[[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron]]'' videogame. The line continued into 2013, with Legends and Voyager Class figures being introduced too. Unlike the previous [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]], now absorbed into ''[[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'' under the name "Legion Class", these new products consisted of two-packs of [[data disc]] [[Deployer (WFC)|Deployer]] figures designed to interact with the Voyager Class [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]] mold.

In mid-2013, ''Generations'' was rebranded as '''''Transformers Generations: Thrilling 30''''' as part of Hasbro's ''[[Thrilling 30]]'' anniversary campaign, which saw the line return to the ''Classics''/''Universe''-style updates of older characters. This refresh was notable for introducing close ties with [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''Transformers'' material–many toys were based on designs from comics, and for the US market,<ref name="region">Australia, New Zealand, and Hasbro's Asian markets typically get toys in whatever format is also used for the United States. The markets that traditionally get multilingual packaging are Canada, Latin America, and Europe, which meant no comic books for ''Thrilling 30'' and ''Combiner Wars''. See the images to the right for a comparison.</ref> every Deluxe figure was packaged with a comic issue. The format of Legends Class was also changed, now including a vaguely ''Cyberverse'' Commander-sized figure with a smaller, triple-changing partner. ''Thrilling 30'' saw two new size classes introduced to the line – 2013 featured the huge Titan Class [[Metroplex (G1)#Generations|Metroplex]] figure, whilst 2014 debuted Leader Class with [[Jetfire (G1)/toys#Generations|Jetfire]].

For 2013, toys featured packaging art by [[Clayton Crain]] and the Deluxe pack-in comics were ''[[The Transformers: Spotlight|Spotlight]]'' issues. Continuing into 2014, the included issues tied into the "[[Dark Cybertron (IDW)|Dark Cybertron]]" story and [[Phil Jimenez]], who helped plan and draw that event, took over package art duties.

In Europe, only the first wave of the Legends and Deluxe price points was ever officially released, exclusive to Toys"R"Us. However, several UK retailers were later used as a dumping ground for ''all'' the Voyagers, Leader Jetfire, and the last two waves of the Legends as [[parallel import]]s in US (Voyagers and Leader Jetfire) or Canadian/Latin American (Legends) packaging.

==Movie lines (2014–)==
In [[2014]], Hasbro began labeling certain [[live-action film series]] lines with the ''Generations'' banner.

===''Age of Extinction'' (2014)===
{{Nav-aoe}}
[[File:HoundPackaging.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Voyager Class Autobot Hound]]
After the many years of rather complex figures in the [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|movie]] [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|toylines]] and realizing that the toys were becoming too complicated for the audiences they were aimed at, Hasbro decided to split the toyline that accompanied the forth installment in the [[live-action film series]] franchise, '''''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)|Transformers: Age of Extinction]]''''', into two different age-appropriate lines. The first was the "''Robots in Disguise''" line which focused on more child-friendly designs, with gimmicks centred around pulling a lever or flicking a switch; activating an automated transformation in one or two simple steps.

The other half was labelled "''Generations''", which the figures were made to similar design standards of the preceding movie toylines, and were designed for a slightly older demographic, much like the previous lines under the ''Generations'' banner above. Releasing around the same time as [[2015]]'s ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 franchise)|Robots in Disguise]]'' cartoon, the ''Generations'' lineup was simplified in the way the "Warrior Class" figures were made, using bright colors and minimal transformation steps, in keeping with a simplistic approach for any age to enjoy.

Following on from the approach taken with the ''Age of Extinction'' toyline, ''[[Transformers: The Last Knight (toyline)|Transformers: The Last Knight]]'' was also split into two separate age-appropriate lines. The more simplified of the two lines became the "''Turbo Changers''" and consisted of many of the same styled toys as the ''Robots in Disguise'' line above. The second, "''[[Transformers: The Last Knight (toyline)#Premier Edition|Premier Edition]]''" line, while not labelled under the ''Generations'' banner, was still aimed at an older demographic and followed the same principles that the ''Age of Extinction'' ''Generations'' line had set before it, even including many redecoes of molds sold in the previous line.

'''{{main|Tiny Turbo Changers#Movie Edition}}'''
Originally begun as part of the toyline for ''The Last Knight'' in 2017, '''''[[Tiny Turbo Changers]]''''' is a line of [[super deformed]], [[blindpacking|blind-bagged]] vinyl figures featuring characters from throughout the entire [[live-action film series]]. The line continued into 2018 under the more general '''''Movie Edition''''' label and co-branded with ''Generations'' starting with Series 3. The subline ran for two more series into 2019.
{{--}}

===''Studio Series'' (2018–)===
{{nav-studio}}
[[File:Studio-Series-Voyager-Long-Haul-Box.jpg|thumb|42 ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Voyager Class Long Haul]]
First revealed at [[Toy Fair]] [[Toy Fair 2018|2018]], '''''Transformers Generations: Studio Series''''', a new subline underneath the ''Generations'' banner that acts as a celebration of over ten years of live-action movies, with characters from every movie represented, variants included. It also coincided with ''[[Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee]]'', the sixth film in the [[live-action film series]]. All figures come with a cardboard backdrop depicting a notable scene from their respective movie. Backdrops from separate figures representing the same scene are designed to be displayed side by side. With rough robot mode [[scale]] as a line-wide goal, each figure is sized in relation to other toys, even in the same [[size class]]. In 2021's ''Studio Series'' started to introduce "Generation 1" characters to the line; featuring figures based on characters from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', in celebration of the film's 35th anniversary. These figures feature a different set of ID numbers to the "standard" line, with the figures having an "86" in front of their base number starting at the number "01", to better differentiate them from the live-action film characters that the line was originally intended for.

===Exclusives===
In 2018, Hasbro released a single exclusive figure for Chinese company JingDong, which was only available on their online shop. Despite being released at the time of ''Studio Series'', the toy features a generic ''Generations'' logo and is packaged in a box with branding similar to ''Cyber Series'' figures which were also initially exclusive to China.

==''Prime Wars Trilogy'' (2015–2018)==
{{nav-pwt}}
''Generations'' was rebooted in 2015, acting more as branding than a specific toyline, starting with Hasbro's '''''Transformers: Prime Wars Trilogy'''''. As the name implies, it consists of three sublines, each with its own theme, [[gimmick]] and [[play pattern]].

===''Combiner Wars'' (2015–2016)===
{{anchor|Combiner Wars}}
{{nav-CombinerWars}}
[[File:CW Swindle pk US CALA EU.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|Like most Deluxe Class figures, Swindle was available with a comic book in the U.S., Australia, New Zealand, and Asia (left), and with a character card in Canada and Latin America (center) as well as Europe (right).]]
For 2015, the line was given another [[subline imprint]] titled '''''Transformers Generations: Combiner Wars''''', which saw Deluxe, Voyager, and some Legends figures able to form [[combiner]] robots. The format for Legends Class was changed once again, dropping the small partner figures of the ''Thrilling 30'' line.

The tradition of including IDW comic books with U.S.<ref name="region"/> Deluxes continued, whilst Legends, Voyagers, Leaders, and non-U.S.<ref name="region" /> Deluxes gained collector cards featuring art taken either from the ''[[Transformers Legends (mobile game)|Transformers Legends]]'' mobile game, or simply the toy's [[package art]] (which doubles as the comic book cover for the U.S.<ref name="region" /> version). However, due to production schedule problems,<ref>[http://bwtf.com/events/toyfair2015/interview-part1 Interview with Jerry Jivoin at BWTF.com]</ref> Deluxe wave 1's initial U.S.<ref name="region" /> release featured the collector cards. Along with the concurrently released ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' line, ''Combiner Wars'' also heralded the return of [[multilingual packaging]] to the United States<ref name="region" /> market, now in English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese. The sole exception to this was the Deluxe figures packaged with comic books, which retained English-only packaging.

Meanwhile, ''Combiner Wars'' marked the end of the [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusivity for ''Generations'' figures that had been in effect in several European markets since the launch of the original line in 2010 (which had usually resulted in only one wave per assortment ever being released in Europe). Not only did availability and distribution improve tremendously across the board—the ''Combiner Wars'' figures were even released in European markets where ''Generations'' figures had previously never been available at all! At the same time, European packaging reduced the number of languages from thirteen to a mere four (English, French, German, and Spanish), resulting in a less cluttered packaging design.

After the general retail assortments had run their course, the line was extended for several months via [[giftset]]s of complete teams featuring redecoes and retools, referred to as "Collection Packs" in official promotional materials. Those sets were typically "shared exclusives" between online retailers and the online storefronts of "big box" retailers, though they were also available at brick and mortar retail in several non-U.S. markets.

{{--}}{{anchor|Titans Return}}
===''Titans Return'' (2016–2017)===
{{nav-TitansReturn}}
[[File:TR Chromedome pk USCALA EU.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|''Titans Return'' Deluxe figures came with a character card in all markets. "US/worldwide" packaging on left, European packaging on right.]]
Mid-2016 introduced a new subline imprint, '''''Transformers Generations: Titans Return''''' (initially touted under the early working name ''Titan Wars''<ref name="titanwars">Which is ''obviously'' used by many European retailers in official advertising, with annoying persistence.</ref>), with its own new line-wide gimmick: all Deluxe, Voyager, and Leader Class figures include a [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]]-style [[Titan Master]] partner, all of which are completely interchangeable. To compensate for the size differences, Leader class figures feature large helmets that cover the Titan Masters, while Voyager class figures have spring-loaded pop-out adornments to "bulk up" their heads. Each Deluxe and Voyager figure's hand-held weapons can transform and combine to form a "turret" that can be manned by any Titan Master, and which can attach to the base modes of the Leader Class figures.

Additionally, a new Titan Master assortment was introduced, each including a single Titan Master, plus a small vehicle or beast. These can transform into a vehicle/beast for the Titan Master to ride, a second vehicle/beast formed by ''combining'' with the Titan Master, and a [[5 mm post|5mm]] weapon for a larger figure to wield. Legends Class figures started out as predominantly [[Mini-Cassette]] characters, which can transform into both a vehicle and a blocky PDA that can fit inside Leader Class figures such as [[Blaster (G1)/toys#TitansReturn|Blaster]]. Starting with Wave 3, this changed into focusing on [[Mini Vehicle]]s which can often carry Titan Master passengers.

Though never officially addressed by Hasbro, Deluxes no longer included comic books in any market, thus eliminating the need for English-only packaging entirely, leaving only two types of multilingual packaging, one for Europe and the other for all non-European markets. However, the character cards included with all figures (except for Titan Masters) now featured [[Tech Spec]] stats on their back.

Voting for the second Titan Class figure was conducted via Facebook, with fans choosing between a remake of [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]], [[Trypticon (G1)#Generations|Trypticon]], or [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]].<ref>[https://www.facebook.com/transformers/photos/a.153259298077606.36631.146805978722938/926169094119952/?type=3&permPage=1 November 24 2016 photo]</ref> Trypticon won.<ref>[https://www.facebook.com/transformers/photos/a.153259298077606.36631.146805978722938/931380200265508/?type=3 "There truly is nothing that can stand in the way of Trypticon.

[[File:POTP Jazz pk USCALA EU.jpg|thumb|upright=1.6|''Power of the Primes'' Deluxe figures still came with a character card in all markets, each of them containing one of twelve possible combinations between the character and a Prime Master. "US/worldwide" packaging on left, European packaging on right.]]
First revealed in mid-[[2017]] at [[San Diego Comic-Con]], '''''Transformers Generations: Power of the Primes''''', in keeping with the previous two toylines, features a line-wide [[gimmick]]: "[[Prime Master]]s", small [[Titan Master]]-type figures that represent the sparks of the [[Thirteen|Primes]]. Unlike Titan Masters, Prime Masters are available only in their own pricepoint, where they are packaged with [[Pretender]]-style [[Prime Master|Decoy Armor]], but can interact in some way with all larger assortments.

Legends Class figures retain the ability to seat a small figure in alt-mode, whilst the Deluxe and Voyager Class pricepoints see the return of ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]''-style [[Combiner]]s. The combination joints remain unchanged, whilst the hand/foot system is tweaked: all Deluxes now include a hand, and all Voyagers a pair of feet. These accessories also facilitate the Prime Master integration for those size classes: Deluxes can use their hand as chest armor, into which a Prime Master spark mode can slot, and Voyagers can use their feet as forearm bucklers, which similarly fit a Prime Master. All Voyager Class figures also include an [[Enigma of Combination]], shaped like a Prime Master spark mode, that can fit onto their combined mode chest.

Finally, Leader Class figures feature an "Evolution" gimmick, wherein each toy includes a Deluxe-sized character who can "evolve" into a Prime by combining with additional armor. Each Leader includes a uniquely-colored [[Matrix of Leadership]], the central crystal of which can be removed and replaced with a Prime Master.

Similar to ''Combiner Wars'' (except for US-released Deluxe Class figures) and ''Titans Return'', all figures from Legends Class upwards continued to include character cards, except this time there were twelve different [[variant]]s of every character's card, each containing a [[Prime Master/Combinations|combination]] with one of the twelve Prime Masters.

Ahead of the line's release, a fan vote took place to determine a character who would become a new Prime in both the toyline and accompanying stories, with [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus Primal]] claiming victory, and a place in the Leader Class assortment.<ref>[http://www.facebook.com/transformers/photos/pb.146805978722938.-2207520000.1487463781./1362620857141438/?type=3&theater Optimus Primal's victory]</ref>

==''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' (2019–)==
{{nav-wfct}}
[[File:WFC-Netflix-Nemesis-Prime.jpg|thumb|Nemesis Prime / Fangtron / Giza Spoiler Pack]]
Beginning in 2019 (though released in late [[2018]] for the holiday season), the '''''War for Cybertron Trilogy''''' (aka '''''Transformers Generations War for Cybertron''''') follows the pattern of the ''Prime Wars Trilogy'', having three sub-imprints over a multi-year release schedule. The new branding is unrelated to the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron (games)|2010 ''Transformers: War for Cybertron'']] video game from [[High Moon Studios]], though both similarly cover the early pre-Earth era of the [[Great War (G1)|Autobot-Decepticon war]]. In February 2018, Hasbro launched a [[Fan polls|fan vote]] for a thematic rivalry to be seen as Deluxe Class figures. The choices were [[Impactor (G1)|Impactor]] VS [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]], [[Needlenose (G1)|Needlenose]] VS [[Tracks (G1)|Tracks]], and [[Spinister (G1)|Spinister]] VS [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]]. Impactor and Mirage won, but Spinister was produced regardless, with Wheeljack being made in the next chapter of the trilogy, and Tracks in the final.

The ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' subline was unveiled by Hasbro at [[Toy Fair 2020]], and launched in conjunction with the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' cartoon]] on [[Netflix]]. With the cartoon featuring [[character model]]s based directly on Hasbro's toy molds, the toyline, in turn, features animation-accurate weathering and extensive deco, though they are often far more battle-damaged than the on-screen model.

The ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' label was also used for toy releases that did not fall into a certain chapter, namely the 2020 ''Selects'' product, the crowd-funded [[Unicron/toys#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Unicron]] and the ''[[Buzzworthy Bumblebee]]'' releases.

'''''Transformers Generations War for Cybertron: Siege''''' brought toy engineering to the extreme with relative scale, detail, extra posability, and ''extreme'' show-accuracy, but with Cybertronian alternate modes. Many of the line's entries feature battle damage paint and combinable weapons, with some Deluxe Class "Weaponizer" figures capable of splitting into additional armament. The figures are littered with [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]] [[5 mm post|5 mm ports]] and 3 mm posts, allowing for unlimited craziness.

Falling on the ''Transformers'' franchise's 35h anniversary, ''Siege'' featured the '''''35th Anniversary''''' subline imprint.

'''''Transformers Generations War for Cybertron: Earthrise''''' continues the C.O.M.B.A.T. System and the new [[A.I.R. Lock System]], which focuses more on fortification construction than weaponry. As the name implies, many of the 80's ''The Transformers'' characters are given Earth vehicle modes. A.I.R. Lock System Deluxe Modulators, along with the [[Quintesson]] and [[Mercenary]] factions, were introduced.

''Earthrise'' featured the '''''Cybertronian Villians''''' (from 2018's ''[[Transformers: Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'') and '''''Galactic Odyssey Collection''''' subline imprints.

===''Kingdom'' (2021–2022)===
{{nav-Kingdom}}
[[File:WFC-Kingdom-Leader-Class-Megatron-Box.jpg|thumb|WFC-K10 Leader Class Megatron (Beast)]]
The third and final installment, '''''Transformers Generations War for Cybertron: Kingdom''''' falls on the 25th anniversary of ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (franchise)|Beast Wars]]'' and the 35th anniversary of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', seeing heavy influence from both. The chapter sees the addition of the [[Maximal]]s and [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]]s, as well as the Core Class replacing the Battle Masters and Micromasters. Silently continuing the C.O.M.B.A.T. System and A.I.R. Lock System, the primary gimmick is the [[F.O.S.S.I.L. Technology]], and the accompany Deluxe Fossilizers. Both classic '90s ''Beast Wars'' and '80s ''The Transformers'' characters are redone with cartoon-accurate engineering and in relative scale amongst their respective series. The toyline also surprisingly stems to ''[[Beast Machines: Transformers (franchise)|Beast Machines]], [[Beast Wars II: Super Lifeform Transformers (franchise)|Beast Wars II]]'', and ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]'' characters in its exclusives.

''Kingdom'' featured the '''''Battle Across Time Collection''''' and '''''Golden Disk Collection''''' subline imprints.

==''Legacy'' (2022–)==
{{nav-Legacy}}
[[File:TFLegacyBulkheadPackagingFront.jpg|thumb|''Legacy'' Prime Universe Bulkhead]]
Beginning after the conclusion of the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' toyline, '''''Transformers Generations: Legacy''''' (aka '''''Transformers: Legacy''''') features characters from across the wealth of different ''Transformers'' [[continuity|continuities]], making it a celebration of the entire ''Transformers'' series, as opposed to the predominantly-"[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#Overview|Generation 1]]" oriented character selection of the ''Generations'' line for the past 6 years. The central [[play pattern]] for this line is the reintroduction of the [[Energon weapon#Legacy|Energon weaponry]] from 2004's ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' toyline; translucent plastic accessories which can be combined together to form bigger, more elaborate weapons.

The ''Legacy'' toyline is also set to reintroduce [[combiner]] teams beginning with the [[Stunticon (G1)#Legacy|Stunticon]]s, a first since the ending of the ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'' line.

{{anchor|PrimeWarsTrilogyAsian}}{{anchor|CS}}
Three years after a large batch of redecoes and retools had been created for Hasbro's Asian markets (with North American [[Toys"R"Us]] branches later picking them up as exclusives), Hasbro's Global Development Organization ("GDO") division was given a budget to design entirely new toys. Taking a cue from the [[tail-ender|tail-end]] ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)#BH|Beast Hunters]]'' Deluxe and Voyager Class figures, most of these figures were based on smaller figures from the ''[[Transformers (2010 toyline)#RTS|Reveal the Shield]]'' [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]], ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)|Transformers: Prime]]'' ''[[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'' Legion Class, ''Thrilling 30'' Legends Class, and [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|2015 ''Robots in Disguise'']] Legion Class ranges, with the designs upsized to roughly Voyager ("Battalion") and Leader ("Commander") height, keeping the transformation engineering mostly unchanged. These figures were released in Hasbro's Asian and Latin American markets in 2015, while a second wave was released two years later in 2017 to the original markets and exclusively to [[Walgreens]] in North America, followed by a third wave of the Battalion assortment in 2018. The second wave Commander Optimus Prime and Commander Bumblebee figures were also continuously released from 2018 throughout 2020 in North American markets via [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]]. Battalion Grimlock, Megatron, and original deco Commander Optimus Prime were never released to North America.

Most Cyber Battalion toys were reissued in 2021, with Wave 2 and 3 exclusive to Hasbro Pulse, and Wave 1 (except Grimlock) repackaged in two "Heroes & Villians" 2-packs exclusive to Amazon in North America.

{{main|Transformers: Platinum Edition}}
'''''Transformers: Platinum Edition''''' is a collector-oriented toyline that began in [[2013]]. It is composed entirely of [[retool]]s and [[redeco]]es of existing molds, which are presented in premium packaging. In 2015, it got absorbed into the ''Generations'' toyline and in the process dropped its own unique packaging designs as well as its own logo in favor of the uniform ''Prime Wars Trilogy'' packaging design, reducing the title "Platinum Edition" to a small line in neutral text above the toys' names.

'''''Alt-Modes''''' is a line-up of [[blindpacking|blind-boxed]] figures released under the ''Generations'' line that change from [[super deformed]] robots, with large {{w|Plume (feather)|plume}}-like Autobot or Decepticon [[insignia|faction symbols]] you can flip up on top of their heads, into similarly "chibi" alternate modes with their robot heads still on top. Characters in the line are firmly rooted in ''[[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]]''.

'''{{main|The Transformers: Masterpiece#Hasbro versions}}'''
In 2015, Hasbro's '''''The Transformers: Masterpiece''''' line got partially absorbed into the ''Generations'' toyline as well. These are very expensive and detailed molds aimed at adult collectors, similar to the "CHUG" standard set by the ''Generations'' line. The line had been running since 2004, but was rebooted in 2011 to what it is today. These are released under Hasbro's packaging.

In 2016, a redeco of ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece]]'' MP-10 Convoy was redecoed in ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (toyline)|Shattered Glass]]'' colors, and was also made for Hasbro's Asian markets. That latter figure is essentially a ''Platinum Edition'' figure in all but its name, using the exact same packaging design and layout of then-concurrent ''Platinum Edition'' packaging except the actual "''Platinum Edition''" title was replaced by "''Shattered Glass''".

Announced in late 2018, '''''''Transformers: Generations Selects''''''' is a line of exclusives sold entirely online in the US, and through various brick and mortar retailers in other countries, intersecting multiple thematic sublines of ''Generations.'' The line consists of "special edition" redecoes and retools of ''Generations'' figures, packaged in brown cardboard mailer boxes with no mark up. Initially comprising toys initiated by Hasbro, the line-up also included figures initiated by TakaraTomy from 2019 to 2020.

Hasbro-initiated figures are packaged in robot mode, while Takara-initiated figures are packaged in vehicle mode, much like most of their recent products.

Most TakaraTomy material unfortunately includes the morphological error in English of "'''''Generation''''' Selects''".

'''''Transformers Collaborative''''' is an online retailer exclusive subline that began in [[2019]], intended to incorporate properties originating outside of the ''Transformers'' brand, not unlike the ''[[Transformers: Crossovers|Crossovers]]'' franchise (2008–2011) before it. ''Unlike'' its predecessor, ''Collaborative'' sometimes includes comprehensive fiction associated with the crossover event, likely to flesh out the wholly new characters created.

'''''Transformers R.E.D.

It is intended to be a counterpart to Hasbro's other 6-inch action figure lines, including ''[[Marvel Comics|Marvel]] Legends'', ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]: Black Series'', and ''Power Rangers: Lightning Collection''. Aesthetically, the line focuses on [[show-accuracy]] in its sculpts. Figures in the line also include extra hands and accessories for display options.

The toyline is a [[Walmart]] exclusive in the U.S. and Canada.

The toys are packaged in nostalgic G1-style packaging (much like the ''Collaborative'' figures or ''[[Vintage (Walmart toyline)|Vintage G1]]''), but with the original G1 [[package art]] modified to more closely resemble the ''Legends'' toy heads.

This series is a Walmart exclusive in the U.S. and Canada, and was also sold exclusively at The Warehouse and Toyworld in New Zealand.

Following the unprecedented release of the [[Optimus Prime (SG)#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Shattered Glass Optimus Prime]] and [[Ratchet (SG)#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Shattered Glass Ratchet]] two-pack in Hasbro's ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)#Hasbro|Generations Selects]]'' 2020 toyline, the [[April 9]]th [[Hasbro Pulse Fan Fest 2021]] unveiled the '''''Transformers Generations: Shattered Glass Collection''''' subline, containing more characters from the long-dormant ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (franchise)|Shattered Glass]]'' continuity. After the online convention, the other four toys (which were given Sideswipe silhouettes) were slowly revealed on Transformers Tuesdays from April to July 2021.

Much like ''Generations Selects'', the ''Shattered Glass Collection'' is composed of ''Generations'' redecoes and retools. Costing more than the MSRP of other Deluxe and Voyager Class toys, each figure is accompanied by an issue, with an exclusive UV cover, of [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (IDW)|Shattered Glass]]'' "Shards" mini-series. The toys are packaged in uniquely shaped boxes with character art and brief [[bio]]s. The boxes only say "Shattered Glass", with "Shattered Glass Collection" coming from listings and product descriptions. The toyline is exclusive to [[Hasbro Pulse]] in the United States and United Kingdom.

'''''Transformers Premium Finish''''' (トランスフォーマープレミアムフィニッシュ ''Toransufōmā Puremiamu Finisshu'') is a TakaraTomy toyline that began in [[2021]]. The first Japan-exclusive line since ''Legends'' ended in [[2019]], ''Premium Finish'' seeks to reproduce exact decos based on various media, such as the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' cartoon or the ''[[Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee]]'' film. The line is split into ''Generations'' (specifically from the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy''), ID'd as "PF WFC-" and ''Studio Series'', ID'd as "PF SS-".

Much like TakaraTomy ''Masterpiece'', ''Generations Selects'', and ''[[The Transformers Golden Lagoon|Golden Lagoon]]'' toys, ''Premium Finish'' toys were imported and re-released by Hasbro for online markets, namely Hasbro Pulse.
{{--}}

==Notes==
*Since the toys released during the first phase of the ''Generations'' toy line were all Deluxe-sized, the difficulty level bar on the front side of the packaging (which indicates how hard it is to convert a toy from mode to mode) denoted each individual toy's challenge level (Cybertronian Bumblebee, for example, is a Level 4, while Thrust is a Level 2).
*With the launch of the ''Generations'' line in 2010, the plastic-coated wire twist-ties that had been used to secure a toy in its packaging in past toylines, were replaced with rattan tie-downs. The paper-based tie-downs were also used in the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'']] toy line and subsequent toy lines, until they themselves were replaced by tag pins near the middle of 2014. The tyranny of twist-ties has mercifully never sullied these toys.

===Foreign names===

==Split==
My biggest issue with a split is that HasTak treats the line as a single entity. Some of the Hasbro toys are sold in the Japanese market and the Takara toys are sold in the Western market. It's very different to Generations Japan where Takara didn't really know what they were doing with that set of toys until creating the Legends line. The brand-unification is also a big thing to think about too. Unlike the Japanese Generations line, all of the figures shared between the two markets are identical, even if the website listings like to give them different names and ID numbers. -- [[User:Fanofcoolstuff27|Fanofcoolstuff27]] ([[User talk:Fanofcoolstuff27|talk]]) 17:53, 14 February 2022 (EST)

I ''really'' don't see the benefit of a split here, especially to a reader. It's not like the page is massive or unwieldy. All a split would do is introduce needless hoop-jumping for content that is incredibly similar because... pedantry? --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] ([[User talk:M Sipher|talk]]) 19:39, 14 February 2022 (EST)

'''''Transformers: Cyberverse''''' is a [[computer-generated imagery|computer-animated]] series developed by [[Boulder Media Studio]]. It debuted on the [[Cartoon Network]] app and website on [[August 27]], [[2018]], and made its television premiere on Cartoon Network on [[September 1]], 2018. The story is divided into chapters: Chapter One ran for 18 episodes in 2018, while a second chapter is targeted for a late [[2019]] release. Unlike nearly every prior ''Transformers'' TV series, episodes are only 11 minutes in length as opposed to 22 minutes.

The series focuses on the adventures of [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]]; having damaged his memory chips, he and [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] must recover his missing memories in order to help him remember his mission on [[Earth]]. Unfortunately, the [[Decepticon]]s are after their friends.<ref>[http://comicbook.com/2017/10/14/transformers-cyberverse-animated-first-look/ Exclusive: Your First Look At The New Transformers: Cyberverse Animated Series]</ref>

The series is intended to "focus more on characters and their mythology" and utilizes the "[[evergreen]]" character designs. It is set in a new continuity and is not a sequel to any previous series.

==Storyline==
During the war on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]] and a team including Bumblebee have left the planet to search for the [[AllSpark]]. The [[Decepticon]]s catch wind that the ancient artifact is on [[Earth]], and leave to investigate, which forces Windblade to take a one-way [[space bridge]] journey there herself. Unable to find any trace of the [[Ark (Cyberverse)|Ark]] or Optimus Prime, she manages to find her old friend Bumblebee. However, he is suffering from amnesia and has no recollection of who he is or how he got there. With the pair being pursued relentlessly by Decepticons, Windblade must help Bumblebee unlock and repair his damaged memories of the war and his journey to Earth so that they can locate Optimus and the AllSpark before their enemies do.

==Notes==
*''Cyberverse'' draws some concepts from the ''[[Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee]]'' film, released a few months after ''Cyberverse'' debuted; in particular, the plot point of Bumblebee's amnesia is lifted directly from the film, as is the "honeycomb" design of Bumblebee's internal readouts.
*The show's premiere episodes, "[[Fractured]]" and "[[Memory (Cyberverse)|Memory]]," were both put up on Cartoon Network's mobile app and website several days before their U.S. television premiere. All subsequent episodes of the show were uploaded the day before they were aired on television, followed by a release on Hasbro's YouTube channel the day after, region-locked to United States users; following a weekend without any videos due to American Thanksgiving, the YouTube release moved to the ''next'' Sunday after airing starting with episode 13. Cartoon Network's app/website split each episode into two separate parts, each with a generic title card, and were numbered as such.
*While the first season was aired at a rate of one episode per week in the United States, in Canada, ''two'' episodes aired every week in a half-hour block. Consequently, "[[Megatron Is My Hero]]" through "[[Maccadam's]]" all premiered on Canadian television ahead of their US broadcasts. In fact, the entire rest of the first season was initially scheduled to debut in Canada over the following weeks, but it was all pulled and replaced with re-runs, presumably because someone US-side didn't like how far ahead they were getting! However, the show still couldn't catch a break, as the next two episodes premiered on the Xfinity X1 service more than two weeks before they aired on television, with the remaining Chapter One episodes each airing in Singapore at least a week ahead of their US broadcast. This unfortunate scheduling continued during Chapter Two's broadcast, with the season premiering in France two weeks ahead of its US broadcast and airing at a rate of four new episodes each weekend.
*With the exception of a kid in "[[Teletraan-X (episode)|Teletraan-X]]", modern day Earth in ''Cyberverse'' is almost completely devoid of humans.
