'''''The Transformers''''' is a computer game for the Commodore 64 and Sinclair Spectrum. It was developed by [[Denton Designs]] with music by [[Fred Gray]], and released by Ocean Software Ltd in 1985.<ref>''Transformers'' (Ocean) page at [http://www.lemon64.com/ Lemon 64].</ref>

==Story==
[[Image:C64i.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Chaos magic?]]
The [[Autobot]]s have an energy crisis and must work as a team to repel the attack of the evil [[Decepticon]]s while collecting the four pieces of the Autobot Energon Cube and transporting them back to the Autobot Centre. The Decepticons will attempt to steal these cubes and it will only be a matter of time before they succeed.<br>
In the long struggle against the evil forces only 5 Autobots remain, [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]], [[Hound (G1)|Hound]], [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]] and [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]]—whereas the Decepticons have perfected ROBO-CLONING, reproducing any of their number which you destroy. The five heroes have a daunting task ahead but gain some advantage from the DEFENSA-PODS under which they may seek shelter and regain their strength.

Generation 1 continuity family

2016-06-21T23:26:03Z

LoLuX12:

{{disambig2|the continuity family|the franchise that it contains which is often now called "Generation 1"|The Transformers (franchise)}}
The '''Generation 1 continuity family''' is the biggest, oldest, and longest-running family in the ''[[Transformers brand|Transformers]]'' [[canon]]. Its core is all of the fiction published under the [[The Transformers (franchise)|original ''The Transformers'' franchise]], which got off to a bifurcated start in [[1984]] with the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|Marvel comic]] and [[The Transformers (cartoon)|Sunbow cartoon]], two distinct universes starring the same cast of characters. Alongside those two main [[Continuity|continuities]] there sprang up a cluster of [[Micro-continuity|micro-continuities]] in the form of [[List of Generation 1 books|books]], [[S.T.A.R.S. continuity|flyers]], and [[Transformers in 3-D|more comics]].

As the years went on, [[Machine Wars: Transformers|many]] [[Beast Wars: Transformers (franchise)|subsequent]] [[Beast Machines: Transformers (franchise)|franchises]] used strands of ''Generation 1'' lore as the backstory of their own fiction, thus joining and extending the continuity family. Even when the main ''Transformers'' franchise [[Unicron Trilogy|is]] [[Live-action film series|separate]] [[Transformers Animated (franchise)|from]] Generation 1, oftentimes [[Transformers: Universe (2003 franchise)|secondary]] [[Transformers: Classics|"filler"]] [[Transformers: Universe (2008 franchise)|franchises]] will keep the continuity going. It has also been a favorite with modern [[Dreamwave Productions|comic]] [[IDW Publishing|companies]], who have been publishing a relatively steady stream of ''The Transformers''-branded comics since 2003.

In [[Japan]], [[TakaraTomy]] has not only contributed to the continuity family with [[Binaltech|unique]] [[Transformers: Kiss Players (franchise)|series]] [[Robotmasters (franchise)|of its own]], but it even published an [http://www.takaratomy.co.jp/products/TF/table.html "official timeline"] that jammed ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 franchise)|Car Robots]]'' and the [[Transformers (film)|2007 film]] into the Generation 1 multiverse. The inclusion of ''Car Robots'' is corroborated by ''Kiss Players'' fiction and timelines, but nothing else has touched upon the movie being part of the Generation 1 continuity family.

In-universe, this continuity is referred to as "[[Primax]]" in the [[Transcendent Technomorph|TransTechs]]' [[universal stream]] designators.

==Major continuities==
The sheer number of [[micro-continuities]] associated with the Generation 1 continuity family makes a completely exhaustive list a near-impossible task. However, there are five major branches, each lasting multiple years and consisting of dozens of stories, with varying number of sub-branches which deserve particular note.

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