'''While the Autobots and Decepticons fight a crucial battle on Earth, something threatens the very existence of Cybertron.'''

==Synopsis==
[[File:ThePlanetEater destruction of lithone.jpg|left|upright=1.25|thumb]]
In deep space, the planet [[Lithone (planet)|Lithone]] is under attack, buildings and inhabitants alike destroyed by a deadly acidic mist that enshrouds the world. Forced to watch as his friend [[Arblus]] goes up in flames before his eyes, a sole [[Lithone (species)|Lithone]] named [[Kranix (G1)|Kranix]] manages to escape his homeworld's destruction by transforming to a spacecraft mode and fleeing. Behind him, Lithone disintegrates... and through the acidic cloud where once it orbited emerges the architect of its destruction, [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]], a monstrous, metallic planet. Having feasted on Lithone, Unicron now turns his sights on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]....

The year is [[2005]], and although the [[Decepticon]]s still rule Cybertron, from secret staging grounds on two of Cybertron's moons, the [[Autobot]]s are preparing to retake the planet. To fuel their impending strike against the Decepticons, [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] sends [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]] and a group of Autobots on a mission to [[Autobot City (G1)|Autobot City]] on [[Earth]] to collect the necessary [[energon cube]]s—but unfortunately, plans for this mission are overheard by the spying [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]]. The cassette reports his findings to [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]], who proceeds to lead the Decepticons in intercepting the Earth-bound shuttle and slaying its crew, taking the vessel for their own in order to invade Autobot City using the Autobots' own ship as cover.

[[File:MatrixCoconut1.jpg|left|upright=1.25|thumb|To you, old friend, I leave my coconut collection.]]

On Earth, the shuttle's approach is detected by [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]]'s son [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel]], and he and the young Autobot [[Hot Rod (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Hot Rod]] head to [[Lookout Mountain]] outside Autobot City to watch its approach. As the ship sets down on the landing pad, however, Daniel is first to notice the Decepticons pouring out. Under the direction of city commander [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ultra Magnus]], the Autobots scramble to prepare the city for battle, transforming it into its armored fortress mode, but Megatron counters by having the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]] combine into [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]], who begins tearing his way into the city.

[[File:GalvatronTFMMarvel1.jpg|upright=1.25|thumb|Read in Spock's voice.]]
Summoned by a distress call from [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]], Optimus Prime arrives with reinforcements. While the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] tackle Devastator, Prime confronts Megatron himself. A brutal one-on-one battle ensues, with both sustaining heavy injuries. Feigning defeat, Megatron is able to seize a discarded pistol from amid the wreckage of the battlefield and shoot Prime dead on, but with the last of his strength, Prime strikes Megatron a powerful blow, and both leaders collapse. With the tide of battle turned, the Decepticons recover the fallen Megatron and flee aboard [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]]. Optimus Prime appoints Ultra Magnus the next Autobot leader and passes to him the [[Matrix of Leadership]], before succumbing to his wounds and dying.

As the embattled Decepticons journey through space, Astrotrain informs them that they must jettison dead weight or they'll never make it back to Cybertron. The healthy Decepticons vote to toss their wounded comrades out into space, and the conniving [[Starscream (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Starscream]] ensures that Megatron is set adrift with them. In time, however, the wounded Decepticons cross paths with Unicron, who pulls them down to his surface with a tractor beam. Unicron offers Megatron a deal: destroy the Autobot Matrix of Leadership in exchange for a new body and troops. Megatron resists at first, but is "convinced" to agree when he realises that destruction at Unicron's hands is the only alternative. Unicron reshapes some of the fallen Decepticon warriors into [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]], [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]], and the [[Sweep (G1)|Sweeps]], and Megatron himself is reformed into the powerful [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]]!

==Notes==
===Differences with the film===
[[File:The PlanetEater arlbus dies kranix transforms.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5]]
[[File:ThePlanetEater autobot city.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5]]
[[File:ThePlanetEater grant me mercy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5]]
[[File:ThePlanetEater death of optimus.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5]]
[[File:ThePlanetEater cyclonus scourge and sweeps.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5]]
This comic adaptation is based on a slightly earlier version of the script than the finished film uses, and as such, there are several differences between it and the movie. Alternate scenes, details, and staging derived from the script include:
*Unicron devours Lithone using a corrosive mist. It is only after the planet is destroyed by this threat that we are granted our first look at Unicron, compared to the way the film shows him approach Lithone first.
*The native [[Lithone (species)|Lithones]] have the ability to transform into spacecraft, this being how Kranix escapes the planet, rather than piloting a ship. Arblus is consumed by Unicron's acid mist, instead of escaping with him (right).
*Bumblebee has "bumper stickers" on his arms, which read: "I ♥ CYBERTRON" and "I ♣ DECEPS," but see "Errors," below.
*Instead of taking off from an exposed, flat launch pad, the Autobots' shuttle bursts out of a concealed vertical launch platform, disguised as a mountain on the moon's surface, which shatters as the craft takes off.
*Laserbeak does not spy on the Autobots through a window, but is instead concealed within a cassette deck inside their headquarters. Consequently, the whole scene of his stealthy approach is absent, and we only first see him when he emerges from hiding after the shuttle launch.
*The Autobot shuttle is shown flying through an asteroid field just before the Decepticons' attack, with Ironhide in the pilot's seat, boasting of his ability to dodge the space-rocks. This scene provides an implicit explanation for how the Decepticons were able to get close enough to board the ship without being detected (they hid among the surrounding asteroids) that the film lacks.
*Brawn is shown being blasted in half, in comparison with the shoulder-shot that takes him out in the finished film.
*Hot Rod and Daniel's journey to Lookout Mountain goes by without incident (right). The scene of Daniel hitting a rock on his hoverboard and being caught by Hot Rod is absent, with the Autobot simply picking Daniel up at the start of their journey, and the pair do not smash through Kup's security cordon either.
*Blurr is all but absent; the art includes him during Optimus Prime's death scene, but he was not in the script at all for this portion of the film, only showing up during the post-battle clean-up. This was a holdover from a ''much'' earlier draft of the script that had him stationed elsewhere at a forward observation post, only arriving at Autobot City to deliver news of Unicron's consumption of Moonbase One.
*The battle for Autobot City does not last through the night; Optimus Prime and the Dinobots appear to show up not long after Devastator is formed.
*Optimus Prime does not drop the Matrix while trying to hand it to Ultra Magnus, meaning there's no moment of foreshadowing as Hot Rod catches it and it glows in his hands.
*The identities of the other Decepticons tossed out of Astrotrain with Megatron are left indistinct, represented only by generic silhouettes (including one [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]], and one wing-less [[Conehead]]).
*The jettisoned Decepticons actually ''land'' on Unicron's surface, rather than floating in space in front of him while Megatron bargains. In keeping with the alternate version of Lithone's destruction, Unicron starts to surround Megatron with his acidic mist to "convince" him to accept his offer, rather than pulling him into his maw.
*Where the film shows only three other Decepticons are transformed by Unicron in addition to Galvatron, Cyclonus, and Scourge, ''six'' figures are visible in the comic, in keeping with the script's description that Scourge and Cyclonus would have an "array" of duplicates serving them.

Other changes made to the story, usually in the name of condensing and simplifying it, which are ''not'' derived from the script include:

*The scene of the Autobots checking in on Moonbase One is omitted. As a result, Jazz does not appear in the comic.
*Ironhide dies from the first shot the Decepticons hit him with; there's no "heroic nonsense" scene of Megatron finishing him off.
*The Decepticons actually land the Autobot shuttle on the city's launch pad before Daniel spots them. Consequently, Hot Rod and Kup's battle with Blitzwing and Shrapnel is omitted.
*Other scenes cut from the "battle of Autobot City" portion of the story include Starscream's strafing run on Arcee and Springer; the Insecticons eating the door and Hot Rod and Kup smashing through them; Perceptor and Blaster's battle with the cassettes in the communications tower (meaning that Blaster does not appear in the comic, though he is referred to by name); and the Autobots moving the missile launcher into place (though Devastator is still shown being hit with the missile from the launcher). This means that ''all'' of Kup's scenes wind up being cut from this issue; he only appears during Prime's death scene, and any important dialogue of his needed to move the story is given to Arcee.
*Hot Rod does not interfere in Optimus Prime and Megatron's fight; Megatron simply surprises Optimus Prime with the gun (right).
*Optimus Prime's final words are an entreaty to the other Autobots to follow Ultra Magnus (right).
*The scene of the Decepticons fighting for leadership inside Astrotrain is cut.
*To create a better cliffhanger ending for the issue, the order of the Decepticons' transformations by Unicron are reversed; Scourge and Cyclonus are created first, then Galvatron.
*Though figures representing them do appear in the art (right), there's no mention of Cyclonus's armada; instead of having Unicron introduce "Cyclonus, the warrior, and his armada," the comic featured narration stating that Cyclonus is "the warrior who will become Megatron's ship." As we'll see next issue, in accordance with the script, Unicron does not provide Galvatron with a ship as he does in the film.

Visual differences from the film, resulting from incomplete or outdated reference material include:
*All the characters are colored using their regular Marvel color models as reference, meaning they often look quite different from the film: Megatron has a black helmet, Soundwave is purple, Optimus Prime has no grey stripe on his torso, etc. Starscream and Sunstreaker are still using outdated colors that future issues of the regular series will revise: Starscream has blue pectorals, and Sunstreaker has yellow "ears" and blue-black arms.
*All the new movie characters are drawn to the specifications of slightly outdated [[character model]]s, which were the basis for their toys, but which were further revised for the finished animated film; most famously, Galvatron is mostly grey (well, actually ''light blue'' in the comic's limited color palette), instead of the purple he is in the movie. Marvel would never get the updated models, and the characters would continue to look this way in every Marvel US and UK publication.
*Spike is not wearing an [[exosuit]], but rather an orange-red bubble-helmeted space suit (below right).
*The Matrix is a featureless green rock. It emerges from Optimus Prime's left window-pec, rather than his entire chest opening up in the movie's iconic style.

===Continuity and plotting errors===
*The abridged dialogue during Megatron and Unicron's bargaining omits Unicron saying "you belong to me now," making Megatron's response of "no, you don't own me!" something of a non-sequiter.

===Art and technical errors===
[[File:Bumblebee and spike the planet eater.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5]]
[[File:ThePlanetEater die autobots.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5]]
[[File:ThePlanetEater dinobots vs devastator.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5]]
*There is a slight discrepancy regarding the series' title between the cover and the indicia: Whereas the cover calls this issue "''The'' Transformers: The Movie", the indicia identifies it as simply "Transformers: The Movie", without a definite article. The two subsequent issues' covers would drop the definite article.
*Basically nobody is colored right on the cover. Ultra Magnus is particularly egregious, with blue thighs, red boots, and a rather off-model head. Bumblebee's "back tire" is drawn on his ''front''.
*'''Page 4:'''
**'''Panel 2:''' Cliffjumper is colored like Bumblebee. The smokestack on Optimus Prime's shoulder is blue instead of white.
**'''Panel 4:''' Ironhide has white thighs instead of red.
*'''Page 5:'''
**'''Panel 1:''' Looks like the inker misinterpreted pencil artist Don Perlin's rendition of the "♣" in the sticker on Bumblebee's arm; instead of "I ♣ DECEPS," the finished inked art reads: "180 DECEPS."
**'''Panel 4:''' Cliffjumper is again colored like Bumblebee.
*'''Page 6, panel 2:''' Soundwave's helmet is grey instead of pale purple. Starscream's wings are solid red.
*'''Page 7:'''
**'''Panel 1:''' Starscream has solid red wings again.
**'''Panel 3:''' Starscream's wings are now solid blue.
**'''Panel 4:''' Brawn has green arms instead of grey.
**'''Panel 8:''' Starscream's wing colors are inverted; red with white stripes, instead of vice versa.
**'''Panel 11:''' Here and throughout the issue, Hot Rod's thighs are the same fuchsia as the rest of his body, instead of the white his regular Marvel color model makes them.
*'''Page 9:'''
**'''Panel 2:''' Megatron is missing his Decepticon insignia.
**'''Panel 8:''' Arcee is red and grey instead of pink and white.
*'''Pages 12–13:''' Slag's dino-mode head, frill, and tail are all colored golden-yellow; his head should be a purple-grey with red horns, as should his tail, and his frill white. Sludge's dino-mode neck is grey instead of yellow.
*'''Page 12:'''
**'''Panel 4:''' Some additional incorrect splotches of yellow appear on Optimus Prime's torso.
**'''Panel 5:''' Slag's wings and portions of Sludge's chest are yellow instead of grey.
*'''Page 14, panel 1:''' The shadows on Optimus Prime's white parts are rendered in purple-grey instead of pale blue.
*'''Page 15, panel 3:''' The border around Optimus' grill-abs is the same pale yellow as the background, instead of white.
*'''Pages 18–19:''' Ultra Magnus' chestplate is colored mostly red, with only the central portion being the correct blue.
*'''Page 18, panel 2:''' Several details on Magnus' chest are colored blue instead of red. Perceptor's scope is mostly blue-black, instead of red.
*'''Page 20:'''
**'''Panel 4:''' Starscream's left wing is solid red. His right is uncolored, left the same shade as the background.
**'''Panels 5 and 7:''' Starscream's got inverted wing colors again.
*'''Page 21:''' The magenta inks on this page are misaligned, shifted slightly down and to the right. It's most noticeable around Cyclonus and Scourge's eyes.
*'''Page 22:''' Galvatron's Decepticon symbol is red. The dark blues on this page are misaligned, shifted slightly to the left; it's most noticeable on Galvatron's "abs" and the text declaring his name (see the image in synopsis above).

===Other trivia===
*Autobot City is referred to as "Fortress Maximus." This was a name Hasbro had been holding in reserve for a while; it was initially conceived for the character who would instead be named [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]], and its use here suggests they were planning to use it for [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]], before deciding against it. It would, of course, eventually see use the following year as the name of the [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|1987 Autobot Headmaster leader]].
*In accordance with the script, [[Snarl (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Snarl]] is absent from the Dinobots' ranks throughout the mini-series, just as in the finished film. [[Swoop (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Swoop]] is also missing from this issue, but he turns up next issue.

====Reprint notes====
<big>'''Marvel UK'''</big>
*All three issues of the mini-series were collected into one special for release in the United Kingdom. This reprint edits the date from 2005 to 2006, to keep continuity with the regular weekly comic's recent story "[[Target: 2006]]," which—working from an even older draft of the film than the one on which this adaptation was based—placed the events of the movie in that year.
*It appears some colouring alterations were made to this UK release as the misaligned inks on page 21 are corrected and Galvatron's Decepticon symbol is white on page 22.

<big>'''IDW ''Transformers Classics'''''</big>
[[File:ThePlanetEater recolored cliffjumper.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5]]
Like the regular monthly series, this mini-series also had its colors "remastered" for ''[[The Transformers Classics]]'' series of trade paperbacks, with varying degrees of success. The process was applied less thoroughly to these issues; notably, Hot Rod was ''not'' changed from fuchsia to toy-accurate red-and-orange, nor was Soundwave changed from his normal Marvel purple to toy-and-cartoon accurate blue, as both were in other volumes.
*'''Page 2, panel 1:''' The gun on Kranix's forearm is recolored from grey-purple to the same brownish-grey as the rest of his arm.
*'''Page 4'''
**'''Panel 2:''' Cliffjumper's colors are corrected... except they're "corrected" to his ''cartoon'' colors, with grey-and-black arms (right). On his Marvel color scheme, his arms should be blue.
**'''Panel 3:''' Optimus Prime's pelvis has gone from the correct white to incorrect blue.
*'''Page 5, panel 1:''' Bumblebee's eyes were yellow like the rest of his face in the original art, which was a pretty common way of coloring him in the regular comic; here, they've been recolored white.
*'''Page 9, panel 8:''' Arcee's colors are corrected.
*'''Page 12, panel 4:''' The yellow splotches on Optimus are removed.
*'''Page 21:''' The misaligned magenta inks are corrected, but a misinterpretation of them sees Scourge's eyes are changed from red to yellow.
*'''Page 22:''' The misaligned blue inks are corrected.

What [[Fireflight (G1)|Fireflight]] does for air travel, '''Wildrider''' (aka '''Wild Rider'''<ref name="classic">Though Wildrider's name was spelled as one word on his own packaging (including the "[[bio]]"/[[Tech Spec]]s on the back of the packaging, as well as in his profile published in issue 4 of [[Marvel Comics|Marvel]]'s ''[[The Transformers Universe (Marvel)|The Transformers Universe]]'', he was spelled "Wild Rider", as two words, in the [[cross-sell]] featured on the back of all the Stunticons' packaging, including his own. This applied not only to the English-only packaging version available in the United States, but also to the [[multilingual packaging|bilingual]] English/French verson sold in Canada and the multilingual version available in continental Europe. The same spelling was used ''again'' for all packaging versions of the 1990 "[[Classics (Europe)|Classic]] Stunticon" release of the figure (except for the Italian version released by [[GiG]], which called him "Squalo"), but this time it was not just limited to the cross-sell, but was in fact the default name featured ''everywhere'' on his packaging. The ultimately [[unreleased toy|unreleased]] ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' redeco once again spelled his name as one word (this time including the cross-sell!). In 2022, the spelling as two words was also used as a more [[trademark]]-friendly name for his ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy]]'' toy.</ref> and '''Brake-Neck''') does for the roadways. The difference is that the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbot]] honestly means no harm and this insanely wild-riding [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticon]] most ''definitely'' does. Some of his Decepticon comrades suspect him of playing insane to enhance his street cred, but those who have come to know him the best realize that it's no act. Wildrider really is as crazy as they come and a very real danger to anything on the road with him. Even his fellow Stunticons are wary of driving anywhere near him.

Which is a problem because if things get too quiet, if all he can hear is ''himself'', Wildrider becomes afraid there's enemies closing in on him, waiting to get him...

Wildrider combines with his fellow Stunticons to form [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]].

After a failed attempt to steal experimental rocket fuel from [[United States military]], [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]] realized that while the Decepticons controlled the skies, the Autobots had supremacy on the ground, and so they needed new ground-based warriors who could out-drive and out-fight the Autobots on their terms. [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]] was sent to steal various [[human]] vehicles that would be rebuilt in the new Stunticons. The Decepticons journeyed to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], beat the [[Key to Vector Sigma]] out of [[Alpha Trion]]'s possession and ordered the [[Vector Sigma|ancient supercomputer]] to give life to the Stunticons. While the other Stunticons pledged their loyalty to Megatron, Wildrider merely stated his desire for destruction. {{storylink|The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 1}} Whilst the Autobots were trapped on Cybertron, the Decepticons returned to [[Earth]] with the newly awakened Stunticons, who began wreaking havoc and damaging the Autobots' good name by attacking the US military base containing the experimental rocket fuel. Eventually, the Autobots returned with the newly built [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]] whose combined form Superion defeated the Stunticon combiner Menasor. {{storylink|The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 2}}

When the Autobots got involved in the fake [[Europa 2000]] charity race he had set up, Megatron needed them removed from the playing field to stop any interference with his plans to dig up the [[Pearl of Bahoudin]] and steal an experimental car engine from [[Auggie Cahnay (G1)|Auggie Cahnay]], the top US driver. He had the Stunticons intercept and eliminate the Autobots, and Wildrider helped disable [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]], [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]], and [[Smokescreen (G1)|Smokescreen]] with his fellow Decepticons. [[Bluestreak (G1)|Bluestreak]] refused to just lay down, though, dodging the Stunticons' ramming attacks and jumping atop Wildrider's hood. The crazy Stunticon eventually shook Bluestreak off by just crashing hood-first into a mountain at over 150 mph.

When Megatron was infected with [[Cosmic Rust (disease)|Cosmic Rust]] after a trip to the lost Autobot colony of [[Antilla]], the Stunticons were assigned to capture the Autobot scientist [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]], who had developed the powerful anti-corrosion [[Corrostop]]. Wildrider drove a speedboat while Drag Strip water skied behind him. After Megatron cured himself and infected the Autobots with the Cosmic Rust, Menasor attacked the Statue of Liberty in [[New York City]] with the ancient [[Lightning Bug]] heat ray, trying to stop the Autobots from [[Matter duplicator|matter-duplicating]] more Corrostop from the layer they sprayed on the statue. Superion defeated Menasor and destroyed the Lightning Bug. {{storylink|Cosmic Rust (episode)|Cosmic Rust}}

After [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Starscream]] was banished for yet another failed coup, he returned with a powerful new Decepticon team called the [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]], who were able to outfight Autobot and Decepticon alike. With Megatron needing a trump card, [[Soundwave (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Soundwave]] attempted to call on the Stunticons to help, but they refused as they were having a demolition derby with various human-owned cars. However, the Stunticons belatedly arrived after the Combaticons' combined form of [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]] defeated [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] and forced Megatron to acknowledge Starscream as the new Decepticon leader. Realizing that Starscream would not stop at Megatron, the Stunticons merged into Menasor and disabled Bruticus in one mighty punch. {{storylink|Starscream's Brigade}}

[[File:Masquerade BreakdownWildriderdefeated.jpg|right|thumb|How mortifrying!!]]
In his next scheme, Megatron charged the Stunticons with bringing him the last key items for his new molecular disrupter cannon. Wildrider and his partner [[Breakdown (G1)|Breakdown]] broke into an optics laboratory and robbed a scientist of his experimental lenses for Megatron's weapon. Upon their escape, though, the Stunticons ran into [[Inferno (G1)|Inferno]], [[Hoist (G1)|Hoist]], and [[Grapple (G1)|Grapple]] blocking the road. Wildrider took the challenge and managed to just miss hitting the Autobots with his crazy driving, and dodge the missiles fired at him by Inferno. He tested his luck on a second drive-by, though, and was blasted into submission by Hoist. The Stunticons were all captured and imprisoned inside the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]], while several Autobots employed camouflage paint to disguise themselves as the Stunticons in a Trojan Horse ploy to find out what Megatron wanted with the components. The Autobot warrior [[Windcharger (G1)|Windcharger]] took Wildrider's place. After the Autobots took off, however, Breakdown managed to free his fellow Stunticons, and they all joined up to form Menasor, easily smashing through the remaining Autobots guarding them. As Menasor, they returned to Megatron and attempted to convince him they were the true Stunticons. Though ultimately successful, the Autobots had made alterations to the stolen components which caused Megatron's weapon to blow up in his face, and the Decepticons beat a hasty retreat. {{storylink|Masquerade}}

[[File:BurdenHardesttoBear Stunticons Matrix.jpg|left|thumb|And now I am Wildimus Prime!!]]
After their exile to [[Chaar]] in 2006, the Stunticons had been reduced to fighting over scraps of energon with the other Decepticons. When [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] returned with the [[Sweep (G1)|Sweeps]], Wildrider expressed the threat that they had better have brought some energon with them. When questioned by Dead End what he would do if they hadn't, Wildrider was at a loss. Nevertheless, he donated his share of energon to revive [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]]. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 1}} Wildrider joined in on the attack when the Decepticons noticed [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Rodimus Prime]] and [[Grimlock (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Grimlock]] spying on them. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 2}} When the [[Quintesson]]s arrived offering them energon in exchange for defeating the Autobots, Wildrider was among those Decepticons who were incredulous of the terms due to their weakened state, but signed on regardless. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 3}}

Wildrider merged with his fellow Stunticons into Menasor to take on [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]] during a battle in the [[Netherlands]]. They later got their butts kicked by Rodimus Prime and [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]] when the two helped steal [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]]'s [[Transformation cog (biology)|transformation cog]]. {{storylink|The Ultimate Weapon}}

Later, Wildrider and Dead End got into a street race with Rodimus Prime in [[Japan]], ultimately forcing him off the road. After the crash, the two Stunticons found the [[Matrix of Leadership]] had been blown clear by the impact, and Wildrider brought it back to his leader, Galvatron. {{storylink|The Burden Hardest to Bear}} After hearing Optimus Prime's body was being stored in [[Mark Morgan|Dr. Morgan]]'s lab, Wildrider followed Galvatron in an attack on the facility, but wound up being infected by the [[Hate Plague]]. {{storylink|The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 1}}

=====Scramble City=====
Wildrider and the Stunticons were summoned by Megatron to put an end to the [[Metroplex (G1)|Scramble City]] project, and succeeded where [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Starscream]] had failed. Their first strike was impressive, holding back Optimus Prime and a cadre of Autobots and shooting the Aerialbots out of the skies. When the Aerialbots formed Superion, Wildrider and his teammates followed suit and merged into Menasor. {{storylink|Scramble City: Mobilization}}

He and the Stunticons soon arrived on Cybertron to participate in Galvatron's siege. They managed to gain the high ground against the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] and [[Throttlebot]]s, and rained laser fire down on their opponents. {{storylink|Four Warriors Come out of the Sky}} Wildrider and his team formed Menasor to fight their Autobot counterparts, but were steamrolled by the might and firepower of the Battleship Maximus. Transporting back to Earth, they attempted to interfere with [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Hot Rod]]'s quest for the Matrix. Wildrider and the Stunticons were confronted by the Aerialbots in the desert, but the battle of their combiner forms eventually led them to the Arctic. {{storylink|The Mystery of Planet Master}}

When [[Vector Sigma]] began perfecting the new super-metal [[Cybertonuron]] on Cybertron, Galvatron ordered another all-out attack on the planet to seize the metal for the Decepticons before the Autobots could make use of it. Wildrider and the Stunticons journeyed to Cybertron with the strike force, and confronted their old enemies, the Aerialbots. The Aerialbots got the drop on Wildrider's group by forming Superion and lashing out before the Stunticons could form Menasor as well. {{storylink|Cybertron Is in Grave Danger, Part 1}} Wildrider and the Stunticons were still in a firefight sometime later, as [[Chromedome (G1)|Chromedome]] passed by looking for [[Mindwipe (G1)|Mindwipe]] and the Decepticon [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]]. {{storylink|Cybertron Is in Grave Danger, Part 2}} In [[San Francisco]], Wildrider and the Stunticons assisted Bruticus in using [[buridanka|a carnivorous plant]] to distract the Autobots from [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]]'s plans on [[Zarak (planet)|Zarak]].

Soon afterwards, the Stunticons as Menasor were involved in a fight wherein [[Grand Scourge]] dropped in through a tear in space-time and used his [[Matrix Breaker]] sword to disassemble Menasor with a single blow. After grappling Dead End, the dimensional intruder realized he could forcefully combine with the Stunticons. Though Wildrider attempted to flee, Grand Scourge managed to have him form the right leg of his gestalt mode. {{storylink|Decepticon Dark Commander Grand Scourge}} He was freed when Grand Scourge was defeated by [[Broadside (G1)|Broadside]], and fled with the other Stunticons. {{storylink|LG53 Broadside}}

Wildrider and the Stunticons decided to have a little fun and tear up a baseball stadium in Japan. Luckily, the Autobots' plucky young ally [[Kenji]] was present to radio for assistance. All the combiner teams assembled, and it was Menasor and Bruticus against Superion and Defensor! Defensor was forced to break apart by the combined Decepticon attack, but Superion and Kenji got the idea to shoot out the Decepticons' legs. [[Groove (G1)|Groove]] and [[Blades (G1)|Blades]] took advantage of the empty combiner ports and took over as Menasor's legs, launching him into the ocean. {{storylink|Fight!

While posing as Autobots, Wildrider, [[Onslaught (G1)|Onslaught]] and the Stunticons rampaged through the city streets, smearing the good name of their adversaries. Later, [[Frenzy (G1)|Frenzy]] and [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]] posed as humans to rally people against the Autobots, and Motormaster's brigade staged an attack on the rally to drive the point home. The Autobot fire engines [[Hot Spot (G1)|Hot Spot]] and [[Inferno (G1)|Inferno]] arrived, however, and used their water hoses to wash off the Decepticons' fake insignia. Enraged, Motormaster planned to combine into Menasor...only to see Wildrider and the rest of his men were already retreating into the distance. {{storylink|Fight!

In the year [[2010]], Wildrider participated in a Decepticon attack on the planet Feminia.

The fight was fairly evenly matched until Galvatron called up his ace-in-the-hole, [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]], whose power was unmatched by any of the Autobots... except for the [[Omnibot (G1)|Omnibots]], who essentially tied Predaking's shoelaces together until he fell over, straight into Menasor and his chums, sending them all toppling to the ground and knocking them to bits. {{storylink|The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers issue 5|The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers #5}}

Galvatron kidnapped Doctor [[Dalton]] of [[Eran]] to upgrade the might of his combiner warriors. When the Autobot combiners arrived to save Dalton, Wildrider and his teammates were deployed at high speeds from Motormaster's launcher mode. They met Superion in mid-air, and the force of their deployment enabled the combiner teams to tear him apart. The Stunticons then merged into Menasor to move in for the kill. They were ultimately outwitted by the Autobots, however, who rescued Dalton and safely returned to Metroplex. {{storylink|The Great Transformer War issue 1|The Great Transformer War #1}}

====Full Throttle Scramble Power!====
The Decepticons constructed a new weapon to pursue their energy-plundering campaign on Earth, the [[Omega Wave Cannon]]. With the device at the ready, the Stunticons headed out to retrieve some energy from a power plant. They were met with the Aerialbots, and both teams combined into the gestalt forms. Though Superion was crippled by the Omega Wave Cannon, the Autobots turned the tide of the battle by sending out massive amounts of reinforcements into the field. Superion then gained the upper hand against Menasor by dislodging Wildrider as the combiner's leg, and having Slingshot take his place. Menasor was beaten down, and the Decepticons were sent packing. {{storylink|Full Throttle Scramble Power!}}

Through [[Bombshell (G1)|Bombshell]]'s [[cerebro-shell]] in Optimus Prime's mind, [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] was able to tap into and divert some of the Matrix energy to bring an equal number of his own troops to life. The Stunticons' first mission was to tail the Autobot [[Skids (G1)|Skids]] and besmirch the Autobot's good reputation by causing carnage on a freeway. They were engaged by [[Rapid Anti-robot Assault Team|RAAT]] forces and Wildrider received a nasty shock from [[Circuit Breaker (G1)|Circuit Breaker]] before [[Motormaster (G1)|Motormaster]] managed to knock her out of the air. When the Aerialbots arrived, the Stunticons pretended to defend their "comrade" Skids, convincing Circuit Breaker and the human forces that there were no good robots.

When the conflict between the two Decepticon factions reached its peak, both leaders called for an [[Enclave]], where they could negotiate an alliance.

A poisoned [[Soundwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Soundwave]] staggered into Wildrider's quarters, and gave him a tape of battle plans to transmit to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. Wildrider assumed that Soundwave had been betrayed by traitors in Megatron's faction of Decepticons, and attempted to send the plans in secret. When Megatron saw him doing so, however, he assumed that the Stunticon was trying to send them to his rival Shockwave, making him the traitor who had betrayed him to Shockwave earlier. With one blast from his [[fusion cannon]], Megatron promptly killed him. Which was exactly what Soundwave (who had not been poisoned and was, in fact, the traitor) had planned.

Once in position, the Stunticons raced forward, ready to take whatever Autobots might be guarding the location by surprise. Encountering the Protectobots en route, Motormaster ordered Wildrider and the other Stunticons to combine into Menasor to do battle.

However, despite Menasor's power, his effectiveness as a warrior was stunted by the fact that his components kept arguing amongst themselves.

Like most of the Decepticons, Wildrider was taken into custody by Skywatch. {{storylink|Things Fall Apart, Part 5: "Earthworks"|Earthworks}}

The rest of the Stunticons kept an eye on the reckless driver with concern that his deteriorating condition merited his replacement. {{storylink|Source:Combiner Wars pack-in comic bios|Brake-Neck's bio}} Ultimately Brake-Neck fell under unclear circumstances, so [[Motormaster (G1)#Prime Wars Trilogy marketing material|Motormaster]] hand-picked [[Offroad (CW)#Prime Wars Trilogy marketing material|Offroad]] as his replacement.

Wildrider and the rest of the Stunticons drove over a barren, rocky terrain to meet against the Aerialbots. Both teams combined, and their gestalt forms engaged in a no-holds-barred slug-fest. {{storylink|Commercial/Generation 1#Aerialbots and Stunticons|Aerialbots and Stunticons commercial}}

Wildrider participated in numerous one-on-one matches against other Autobots and Decepticons, using his fists, his sword, or his gun to defeat his opponents. Sometimes, he even faced off against himself! {{storylink|Bot Shots Battle Game!}}

Even [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] had trouble controlling the Stunticons. The team went on a crime spree in the back alleys of human cities until they were tracked down and stopped by [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] and his team. {{storylink|The Thin Blue Line}} Wildrider and Breakdown were sent to stop a convoy of Autobots from delivering a vital component to a power station to prevent it exploding. Possibly because they were the only ones crazy enough not to realize they'd be in danger if they were near the station when it exploded. They failed anyway. {{storylink|Rushdown Road}}

''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Brake-Neck is a retool of ''Combiner Wars'' [[Dead End (G1)#Combiner Wars|Dead End]] which transforms from a supercar resembling a Ferrari 458 Italia to robot and back. As a Combiner Wars Deluxe limb, he is able to combine with any ''Combiner Wars''-style Voyager Class figure or form one of [[Godbomber#Legends|Godbomber]]'s legs but is, of course, intended to be combined with [[Motormaster (G1)#Combiner Wars|Motormaster]], [[Breakdown (G1)#Generations|Breakdown]], [[Drag Strip (G1)#Generations|Dragstrip]], and [[Dead End (G1)#Combiner Wars|Dead End]] to create [[Menasor (G1)#Generations|Menasor]] (though his cardback and instructions show him replacing Dead End rather than [[Offroad (CW)#Toys|Offroad]]). His cardback bio contains a cute reference to his original name, citing how 'even the unpredictable Stunticons see him as an out-of-control ''wild rider'''.

:Like Dead End, Brake-Neck comes with a copy of "''Combiner Wars'' #8" (actually [[Heavy Is the Head|''Robots in Disguise'' #16]]).

:Part of the second wave of ''[[Transformers: Legacy]]'' Deluxe Class toys, "Decepticon Wild Rider" (he got his name back!) transforms into a close approximation of a Ferrari 308 GTB sports car mode in 17 steps. His accessories include two blasters, which can mount to his race car mode (reminiscent of the attack vehicle mode of his Generation 1 toy). The blasters are also molded after his Generation 1 "Scattershot Gun" and also named "Dual Energon Scattershot Blasters" in his bio, which is accessible by scanning the QR code on the back of his [[packaging]].

:The last step of Wild Rider's [[instructions]] depicts tabs and slots to secure his inner legs that do not actually exist on the toy itself. Also, the panels forming the car rear cannot open as wide as the instructions show (in step 10 specifically), and forcing the hinges can result in stress marks or breakage. In addition, it is practically impossible to peg the feet into the car undercarriage as the instructions suggest, as the plastic tolerances will inevitably cause the very short pegs to slip out of the holes they are supposed to connect to. However, the ankle hinges have enough friction to ensure the feet do not drag on the ground when the vehicle mode is rolled on a flat surface. The back of his head has a port for [[light-piping]], though his eyes are painted over in silver, neutering the effect.

:This figure is not compatible with any prior systems of combination. As ''Legacy'' Menasor is designed with a specific limb configuration in mind, Wild Rider is limited to being one of Menasor's legs, but unlike Drag Strip and Dead End as the arms, he can be used for either the left or right leg.

:This figure was revealed by CBR a day prior to the [[April 12]], [[2022]] Fan First Tuesday.<ref>[https://www.ign.com/articles/new-transformers-generations-legacy-figure-line-announced-by-hasbro ''EXCLUSIVE: Transformers Debuts Wild Rider, Blitzwing Legacy Figures'' - on CBR]</ref>

==Notes==
[[File:Generations Scout DeadEnd.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
* In 2005, the mold used for ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' [[Decepticharge]] was presented as an upcoming release for the Japanese ''Binaltech'' line. Originally, Takara intended to name their version of the toy "Wildrider", possibly because the Hasbro version's deco resembled the unreleased ''Generation 2'' Wildrider toy's color scheme. However, Takara ultimately had to abandon that idea because they couldn't get the trademark. Instead, they decided to give the toy an entirely new deco, as the Hasbro toy's deco didn't meet their ideal of "real-life accuracy". In robot mode, the toy was given a color scheme based on the Transmetal 2 incarnation of Beast Wars [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]], with the toy's name being changed to "Blackwidow", Takara's name for the character. Ultimately, however, Takara decided to cancel the toy altogether, as they were fearing that another redeco (in addition to the upcoming ''Binaltech Asterisk'' toys) would be too repetitive. Plans to release the toy as part of a different line were dropped.<ref>[http://groups.google.com/group/alt.toys.transformers/browse_thread/thread/5d6d41f6d6b3f57e/ Doug Dlin relaying a response from Hirofimi Ichikawa regarding the fate of the Honda S2000 redeco at alt.toys.transformers]</ref> [[Arcee (G1)/toys#Binaltech|Then they apparently changed their minds again.]]

However, his color scheme and tech specs are both clearly patterned off of Wildrider.
* Inspired by the ''Combiner Wars'' toyline, the ''Earth Wars'' mobile game debuted a character named [[Brake-Neck (G1)|Brake-Neck]] in March 2017. Hints were dropped in dialogue that in ''Earth Wars'' continuity, Brake-Neck and Wildrider were separate individuals, but it would not be until October 2023 that [[#Transformers: Earth Wars|Wildrider]] himself would appear, based on the [[#Legacy|distinct ''Legacy'' toy]], cementing Brake-Neck as his own individual.

:''Gutcruncher is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].''
[[File:Gutcruncher MTMTE.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|If I sell [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] for scrap, [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] would need a new [[Air Commander]]. Hmm...]]
'''Gutcruncher''' is a very ambitious mechanoid. He's bartered a deal to sell [[Autobot]] remains as scrap metal on various interstellar markets (including to the [[Junkion (species)|Junkions]]!), and there are rumors that some of those parts were from fellow Decepticons who stood in Gutcruncher's way up the ranks. He's incredibly cold and calculating, and even without his [[Stratotronic Jet]] vehicle, he's got the muscle and firepower to back up his plans. Autobots fear him because he's a ruthless force of nature on the battlefield. Decepticons fear him because he may have already calculated their net worth to some shady black-market metal-monger, and is merely awaiting the right opportunity to cash in.

==Fiction==
===2005 IDW continuity===
{{first|''[[Spotlight: Hot Rod]]''}}
[[File:Punishment GutcruncherStratotronic.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.5]]
Prior to open hostilities breaking out on Cybertron, Gutcruncher worked as a bartender in a Decepticon-only establishment. He refused to serve [[Jetfire (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Jetfire]] after the scientist began working for the Autobots. {{storylink|What It's Really Like}}

During the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]], Gutcruncher and [[Stratotronic Jet|Stratotronic]] massacred Cybertronian refugees under the [[Wreckers]]' protection—just to prove nobody was safe. {{storylink|Forever Is a Long Time Coming (issue)|Forever Is a Long Time Coming}}

[[File:Gutcruncher IDW.jpg|thumb|upright=1.2|No gut goes uncrunched on MY watch.]]
Later, Gutcruncher was monitoring the central security hub at the Decepticon Penal Colony [[Styx]] when [[Hot Rod (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Hot Rod]] introduced a virus to the system to cover his break-in. Eventually the virus popped all the cell doors, forcing Gutcruncher to call a "Code-Nine" alert, which instructed all officers (likely including himself) to immediately evacuate to an orbital platform to await a clean-up squad. {{storylink|Spotlight: Hot Rod}}

At some point afterwards, Gutcruncher served the [[Decepticon Secret Service]] aboard [[Banzai-Tron (G1)|Banzai-Tron]]'s flagship during the attack on the Autobot penitentiary of [[Garrus-9]]. {{storylink|Spotlight: Arcee}} He soon began to regret liberating [[Pretender Monster|the "gestalt" transformers]] when agents of the ancient scientist [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]] razed Banzai-Tron's fortress in the [[Orcibe Cluster]] and activated [[Monstructor (G1)|Monstructor]] with predictable results. {{storylink|Spotlight: Hardhead}}

After a deal was worked out between Banzai-Tron and [[Arcee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Arcee]], Gutcruncher, [[Axer (G1)|Axer]] and the [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]] attacked Monstructor with the intent of recapturing the rampaging monster. {{storylink|Spotlight: Sideswipe}}

Gutcruncher eventually made his way to the planet [[Earth]]. Isolated from his fellow Decepticons, he was relatively easy pickings for [[Bumblebee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Bumblebee]] and his squad of Autobots once they allied themselves with [[Skywatch]]. {{storylink|The Hanging Sword}}

After the war ended, Gutcruncher joined his fellow Decepticons on Cybertron, returning to his old profession by opening a bar with a side [[engex]] bootlegging operation, with [[Heavy Barrel (G1)|Heavy Barrel]], [[Ransack (G2)|Ransack]], and Stratotronic as part of it. In the meantime, [[Sandstorm (G1)|Sandstorm]] became a regular at the bar, befriending Gutcruncher and the other patrons. When all three bootlegging employees were killed while trying to steal an engex distiller, [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Optimus Prime]] informed Gutcruncher of the sad news, and the Decepticon swore vengeance. He didn't get much of a chance, as his bar exploded into flames {{storylink|Fight or Flee (issue)|Fight or Flee}} with himself inside. {{storylink|Quest for Fire}} Sandstorm had killed Gutcruncher for his crimes during the war. {{storylink|Forever Is a Long Time Coming (issue)|Forever Is a Long Time Coming}}

===''TransTech''===
[[File:GoneTooFar-Gutcruncher.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.5|You're going to love my nuts.]]
A rabble-rouser and local big spender, Gutcruncher took [[Hubcap (G1)|Hubcap]] for a sizeable amount of money at [[The Blue Deployer]]'s gambling tables. He was impressed by Hubcap and decided to invite him and [[Jackpot (G1)|Jackpot]] to a gathering of the city's various criminal gangs.

The rally was Gutcruncher's attempt at uniting the various gangs and offworlder criminals of [[Axiom Nexus]] against the [[Transcendent Technomorph|TransTech]]. His assassination by [[Black Shadow (G1)|Black Shadow]] prevented the uprising, and led to Jackpot and Hubcap's flight from both the law and the gangs as they had been set up to take the blame for the killing. {{storylink|Gone Too Far}}

Another Gutcruncher later debated [[Beachcomber (G1)|Beachcomber]] on a television segment about internship practices on Axiom Nexus. {{storylink|Rook - Axiom Nexus News: Investigative Journalist}}

Gutcruncher was a member of [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]]'s splinter faction at the time they were warring with [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]]. He was summoned by [[Crankcase (G1)|Crankcase]] to help cart away the "traitor" [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]]. {{storylink|At Fight's End}}

[[File:ATeamEffort-captives.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|"There's these guys going around to all of these frat houses, pretending to be real cops. But they're not real cops! They're ''fake'' cops!"]]
Gutcruncher's life prior to the rise of the Decepticon movement is unknown, but he rose to prominence during the first decade of the Civil War, becoming one of fourteen [[Decepticon Warlord]]s active on Cybertron. Although he had a seat at the [[Decepticon Warlord|Decepticon War Council]], he found the meetings less than fulfilling as the other Warlords squabbled with one another. When one of his troopers, [[Charger]], discovered a [[Nucleon (substance)|meteor of incalculable energy]] heading towards Cybertron, Gutcruncher saw fit to withhold the information from his fellow Warlords.

All Gutcruncher and his troops needed was a ship. Unfortunately, the task of retrieving a vessel was entrusted to Gutcruncher's catastrophically bumbling aid [[Take-Off]]. After scaring off one possible source with his complete lack of discretion, Take-Off managed to secure a second vessel for the journey...without bothering to inquire if the ship ''could even fly'', much less if it contained the equipment Charger needed to work. Still, a ship was a ship, and Gutcruncher begrudgingly accepted Take-Off's acquisition.

As it turned out, Take-Off's work was even less satisfying that expected. In mid-flight, the presumably disreputable crew of the ''[[Darklon (G1)|Darklon]]'' revealed themselves to be none other than [[Powerflash]] and [[Tap-Out (Universe)|Tap-Out]] of the [[Elite Guard|Autobot Elite Guard]]'s [[Stealth Team (G1)|Stealth Team]]. Gutcruncher was taken prisoner by the Autobots, using old gen [[stasis cuffs]] which rendered him completely pacified. The rest of the Decepticons were soon captured as well, but Charger managed to free his lord and the others. They re-seized control of the ship, and Gutcruncher planted an explosive "failsafe" on board, just in case.

Out on the surface of the asteroid, Gutcruncher found his prize—a massive crystalline monolith jutting out from the rocky surface. He made contact with the crystal, waves of yellow energy racing up his superstructure as he did so. This contact triggered some kind of chain reaction, however, shooting out rays of energy that struck all Transformers present, Autobot and Decepticon alike. Seizing the opportunity, the Autobots struck back against the Decepticons, with each side discovering they possessed increased physical power, but could no longer transform. Gutcruncher's allies fell one by one, and he retreated into the ship in a vain attempt to activate the auto-defense turrets for help. Faced with defeat, he made a last ditch suicidal effort to detonate his explosives on the ship...only to discover Tap-Out had removed them earlier.

Gutcruncher was imprisoned by the Elite Guard, and one less Decepticon Warlord remained to vie for power. {{storylink|A Team Effort}}

: Released in the seventh and final year of ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|The Transformers]]'' in the US (sixth and non-final in Europe), Gutcruncher is a non-transforming 3¾-inch action figure of a robot with hints of some kind of tank alternate mode. His construction is broadly similar to that used by the ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I.

His hands have standard 3 mm holes which allow him to hold any other accessory in the [[Action Master#The_Transformers|Action Master line]], plus his feet have holes in the bottom to secure him to larger vehicles. On top of that, the hole in his back is compatible with [[5 mm post]]s.

'''Gutcruncher''' is a very ambitious mechanoid. He's bartered a deal to sell [[Autobot]] remains as scrap metal on various interstellar markets (including to the [[Junkion (species)|Junkions]]!), and there are rumors that some of those parts were from fellow Decepticons who stood in Gutcruncher's way up the ranks. He's incredibly cold and calculating, and even without his [[Stratotronic Jet]] vehicle, he's got the muscle and firepower to back up his plans. Autobots fear him because he's a ruthless force of nature on the battlefield. Decepticons fear him because he may have already calculated their net worth to some shady black-market metal-monger, and is merely awaiting the right opportunity to cash in.

==Fiction==
===2005 IDW continuity===
{{first|''[[Spotlight: Hot Rod]]''}}
[[File:Punishment GutcruncherStratotronic.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.5]]
Prior to open hostilities breaking out on Cybertron, Gutcruncher worked as a bartender in a Decepticon-only establishment. He refused to serve [[Jetfire (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Jetfire]] after the scientist began working for the Autobots. {{storylink|What It's Really Like}}

During the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]], Gutcruncher and [[Stratotronic Jet|Stratotronic]] massacred Cybertronian refugees under the [[Wreckers]]' protection—just to prove nobody was safe. {{storylink|Forever Is a Long Time Coming (issue)|Forever Is a Long Time Coming}}

[[File:Gutcruncher IDW.jpg|thumb|upright=1.2|No gut goes uncrunched on MY watch.]]
Later, Gutcruncher was monitoring the central security hub at the Decepticon Penal Colony [[Styx]] when [[Hot Rod (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Hot Rod]] introduced a virus to the system to cover his break-in. Eventually the virus popped all the cell doors, forcing Gutcruncher to call a "Code-Nine" alert, which instructed all officers (likely including himself) to immediately evacuate to an orbital platform to await a clean-up squad. {{storylink|Spotlight: Hot Rod}}

At some point afterwards, Gutcruncher served the [[Decepticon Secret Service]] aboard [[Banzai-Tron (G1)|Banzai-Tron]]'s flagship during the attack on the Autobot penitentiary of [[Garrus-9]]. {{storylink|Spotlight: Arcee}} He soon began to regret liberating [[Pretender Monster|the "gestalt" transformers]] when agents of the ancient scientist [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]] razed Banzai-Tron's fortress in the [[Orcibe Cluster]] and activated [[Monstructor (G1)|Monstructor]] with predictable results. {{storylink|Spotlight: Hardhead}}

After a deal was worked out between Banzai-Tron and [[Arcee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Arcee]], Gutcruncher, [[Axer (G1)|Axer]] and the [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]] attacked Monstructor with the intent of recapturing the rampaging monster. {{storylink|Spotlight: Sideswipe}}

Gutcruncher eventually made his way to the planet [[Earth]]. Isolated from his fellow Decepticons, he was relatively easy pickings for [[Bumblebee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Bumblebee]] and his squad of Autobots once they allied themselves with [[Skywatch]]. {{storylink|The Hanging Sword}}

After the war ended, Gutcruncher joined his fellow Decepticons on Cybertron, returning to his old profession by opening a bar with a side [[engex]] bootlegging operation, with [[Heavy Barrel (G1)|Heavy Barrel]], [[Ransack (G2)|Ransack]], and Stratotronic as part of it. In the meantime, [[Sandstorm (G1)|Sandstorm]] became a regular at the bar, befriending Gutcruncher and the other patrons. When all three bootlegging employees were killed while trying to steal an engex distiller, [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Optimus Prime]] informed Gutcruncher of the sad news, and the Decepticon swore vengeance. He didn't get much of a chance, as his bar exploded into flames {{storylink|Fight or Flee (issue)|Fight or Flee}} with himself inside. {{storylink|Quest for Fire}} Sandstorm had killed Gutcruncher for his crimes during the war. {{storylink|Forever Is a Long Time Coming (issue)|Forever Is a Long Time Coming}}

A rabble-rouser and local big spender, Gutcruncher took [[Hubcap (G1)|Hubcap]] for a sizeable amount of money at [[The Blue Deployer]]'s gambling tables. He was impressed by Hubcap and decided to invite him and [[Jackpot (G1)|Jackpot]] to a gathering of the city's various criminal gangs.

The rally was Gutcruncher's attempt at uniting the various gangs and offworlder criminals of [[Axiom Nexus]] against the [[Transcendent Technomorph|TransTech]]. His assassination by [[Black Shadow (G1)|Black Shadow]] prevented the uprising, and led to Jackpot and Hubcap's flight from both the law and the gangs as they had been set up to take the blame for the killing. {{storylink|Gone Too Far}}

*Gutcruncher's design was used by Hasbro as the "pretooled" alternate head for ''Thrilling 30'' Voyager Class [[Roadbuster (G1)#Generations|Roadbuster]], but this tooling was never used.

:''Ironhide is an [[Autobot]] [[Spychanger]] from the [[Robots in Disguise continuity family]].''
[[File:RID Ox Ironhide biocard.jpg|right|upright=1.4|thumb|"Go Bulls!"]]

'''Ironhide''' is normally a calm and reasonable bot, using his incredible strength and skill as the Autobots' transportation expert to keep the team well-supplied. The strongest of the [[Spychanger]]s, in his powered-up form his strength even rivals that of [[Optimus Prime (RID)|Optimus Prime]].

However, an ''angry'' Ironhide is a dangerous Ironhide. His temper runs ''very'' hot, and he ends up using his strength to destructive ends. Perhaps experience will cool him down one day.

He's been friends with [[Mirage (RID)|Mirage]] a long time, despite them both being bull-headed types.

[[File:Ironhide rid.jpg|left|thumb|Yosemite Sam decided to shave this week]]
When the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacons]] stole a plutonium energy generator and attempted to escape along a beach, they were confronted with Mirage, Ironhide and [[W.A.R.S.]] driving across the water towards them. Ironhide gave Mirage a piggy-back ride in order to undertake the Spychanger "cyber-jousting" manouvre. The Predacons eventually escaped with a fake generator which the Spychangers had swapped for the real one. {{storylink|Spychangers to the Rescue}}

After [[Optimus Prime (RID)|Optimus]] was captured and tortured by [[Megatron (RID)|Megatron]], the Spychangers joined the [[Autobot Brothers]] in rescuing their leader and seeing off the Predacons. {{storylink|Sideburn's Obsession}}

[[File:Mirage's Betrayal Warsironhide.jpg|right|thumb|Did you just call me [[Ironhide (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|"Arn-hahd"!?]]]]
Later, the team tried to protect a ruby from Predacon theft, but the mission failed—partly because of Mirage's unwillingness to fire at the Predacons and risk hitting a chemical tank. Ironhide was supportive of his friend, even when the other Spychangers considered dropping him from the team. Afterwards, Ironhide tried to persuade Mirage to come back and talk to the others but was rebuffed. Much to his shock and surprise, Mirage announced he'd be better off with the Predacons and Ironhide declared their friendship over. When Mirage lured the Spychangers to a location where the Predacons had built a "[[Mega-Laser Cannon]]", he revealed the fact that he'd been bugged to Ironhide, who finally understood his friend's odd behavior. After the destruction of the laser, Ironhide reaffirmed their friendship. {{storylink|Mirage's Betrayal}}

The Spychangers also took part in the [[International Grand Prix]] in an attempt to find [[Skid-Z (RID)|Skid-Z]] and were momentarily blinded by Megatron. {{storylink|Skid Z's Choice}} On another occasion, the Spychangers were called back to base to watch footage of various battles, but had to wrap up a fight with the Predacons first. Mirage rode on Ironhide again. {{storylink|Hope for the Future}}

The Spychangers accompanied Optimus Prime to [[Montrose Island]] where Predacon activity was causing the volcano to become violent. They attempted to keep [[Scourge (RID)|Scourge]] and [[Sky-Byte (RID)|Sky-Byte]] busy while Optimus went to use his blizzard storm on the volcano. When the volcano was ruptured and lava threatened the nearby resort, the Spychangers used their [[Inferno Blast]] to divert its path. {{storylink|Volcano (episode)|Volcano}}

In between all their adventures, the Autobots still had to perform some of the more menial tasks, such as regularly testing out the global space bridge. {{storylink|Lessons of the Past}}

Sent to stop the Decepticons from finding [[Fortress Maximus (RID)|Fortress Maximus]], the Spychangers jumped out in front of the foe and were soundly trounced by [[Armorhide (RID)|Armorhide]] and [[Rollbar (RID)|Rollbar]]. {{storylink|Fortress Maximus (episode)|Fortress Maximus}}

The Spychangers took part in the ambush of the Decepticons after the Autobot base was discovered. When the "[[Megastar]]" arrived at the battle, Ironhide opined that he thought they were in trouble. {{storylink|Surprise Attack!}} After Galvatron's defeat, they celebrated by racing with [[Skid-Z (RID)|Skid-Z]]. {{storylink|The Final Battle (RID)|The Final Battle}}

[[File:SuperSpychangersCatalogArt.jpg|left|thumb]]

With [[Ultra Magnus (RID)|God Magnus]] having departed Earth aboard [[Fortress Maximus (RID)|Brave Maximus]], the Autobots were unable to call upon his power when a new menace suddenly arose to challenge them. In order to combat this threat, a plan was put into motion to upgrade the Spychangers with [[Spark Engine]]s, granting them Super Modes.

Super Ox obtained strength greater than even that of Fire Convoy. However, he didn't rely on it, as his gentle nature hadn't changed. {{Storylink|The Secret of the Birth of the Super Spychangers}}

=====Ask Vector Prime=====
According to a story heard by [[Vector Prime]] at [[Axiom Nexus]], the threat was [[Chainsaw]] and his [[Mutant (G1)|Mutants]]. Super Ox used his strength to defeat [[Woodchipper]] when he menaced the [[Palenque]]. Later, when Chainsaw and the rest of his Mutants attempted to overrun the Autobot base, he helped repulse them. Using the power of teamwork, the Super Spychangers defeated and captured the villains. Though the [[Go-Brillium]] which powered them was used up and they were no longer Super, they retained [[To sell toys|new color schemes]]. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/08/01}}

=====''Legends'' comic=====
When [[Scourge (RID)|Black Convoy ]] and his [[Commando (RID)|Combatrons]] attacked the [[Dimensional Patrol]]'s [[Neo Brave Maximus]] to rescue [[Megatron (RID)|Devil Gigatron]], the Super Spychangers were sent out to the front lines. Their damage to the [[Cyber Falcon-type spaceship|Combatrons' ship]] led to it crashing into the base. {{Storylink|LGEX Black Convoy Prologue}}

====Prevenge====
{{voiceactor|[[Michael McConnohie]] (English)}}
Ironhide and Hot Shot were fighting against [[Wind Sheer (RID)|Wind Sheer]] when Ironhide fell into a trans-dimensional portal and was transported to a labyrinth in another universe. There he encountered [[Sonar (BW)|Sonar]]. Initially mistaking her for a Predacon, Ironhide begun attacking her. Sonar clarified that she was actually a [[Maximal]], and Ironhide realized that he had been trapped in a heavy-handed scenario about the dangers of prejudice and presumption. The pair then proceeded to delve further into the labyrinth they were trapped in, fighting off some [[alloygator]]s along the way. They eventually met with six other Cybertronians who had similarly been abducted from their home universes: [[Blades (RB)|Blades]], [[Snarl (G1)|Snarl]], [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Ultra Magnus]], [[Ravage (SG)|Ravage]], [[Arcee (Animated)|Arcee]], and [[Sureshock (Armada)|Sureshock]]. A menacing voice then made itself heard, declaring itself to be responsible for bringing everyone together. The voice ordered the group to fight one another to the death, but (for the most part) the abductees would have none of it. The architect behind the whole plot revealed itself to be the [[Skuxxoid]], out for revenge after having been dismissed by the Transformers from his home dimension one too many times. The villain was easily disposed of, leaving the group to devise a way to get themselves back home. Ironhide suggested that everyone laugh together, as characters were prone to do in the cartoons Koji watched whenever an episode drew to a close. Strangely enough, this worked, and everyone was transported back to their point of origin. {{storylink|Prevenge}}

He also has a leaf-themed "Grass Energy" breastplate, which can be detached and re-attached to one of the four ports on the chest of the Energy Master torso, forming part of a large elemental "X".

: He can also transform into an arm or a leg extension for any [[Energy Master#Toys|Energy Master]] toy.

: He shares several "core" parts with other Energy Beasts: he has the same torso and thighs as the other three in the wave, and shares the biceps and hindlegs/shins with [[Abyssrain#Toys|Abyssrain]], [[Drillnohorn#Toys|Drillnohorn]], and [[Hydrophant#Toys|Hydrophant]].

'''Ignite Leo''' (イグナイトレオ ''Igunaito Reo'') is a powerful Animal Tribe member with a strong sense of justice and a belligerent nature. He received a call from long-time friend/rival [[Spirituan]], saying that the latter has found someone who could be the legendary hero from their mythos: [[Optimus Prime (WK)|Optimus Prime]].

Just as the Energy Master was about to be finished off, a stream of water from [[Hydrophant]] briefly forced him to evade, and he eventually went down after getting blasted with Lightning Aqua Optimus' electrically charged stream of water.

[[File:G1-Divebomb-boxart.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|He's the happiest, most homicidal bird you'll ever meet.]]
In the air, with targets arrayed below him like manna strewn from heaven, you won't find a robot happier than '''Divebomb'''. He's a cheery sort in general, almost always in a good mood, but nothing makes him as downright giddy as a child on [[Christmas]] morning as having so many targets to pick and choose from that he doesn't know where to start destroying. Just about the only thing that ever puts him in a bad mood is having to give up his independence and combine with his teammates, whom he tolerates at best, to form [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]]. In his free time, Divebomb likes to use available scrap to build himself "mechanest" fortresses at the top of the highest available point. These plush private apartments are something of a point of pride for him. "I like to live comfortably," he explains with a smile.

{{bigquote|I could've shown that pilot some ''really'' fancy flyin'!|Divebomb|"[[Nightmare Planet]]"}}

==Fiction==
===Marvel ''The Transformers'' comics===
[[File:SwoopVsDivebombUKAnnual87.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Proof that birds are not descendants of dinosaurs!]]
{{noteukonly}}
''[[MYA|Millions of years ago]] on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], the Decepticon now known as Divebomb was an aerial ace who thrilled in engaging Autobots from the [[Elite Flying Corps]] in mid-air duels to the death. He found a particularly enjoyable opponent in the Autobot named [[Swoop (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Divebomb]] and, after defeating him in combat, "stole" the bombardier's name and began calling himself Divebomb. The Autobot attempted to reclaim his honor and name in a second battle, but was once again defeated by the new Divebomb, and only survived because [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] intervened on his behalf. Comfortable with his new identity, the Predacon Divebomb continued in his aerial "adventures".'' {{storylink|What's in a Name?}}

[[File:Divebomb prime prey.jpg|thumb|left|upright=0.85]]
''In [[1986]], Divebomb and the Predacons were given a twin assignment by the [[Decepticon leader]]s on [[Earth]]. [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] hired them to come help him hunt down his nemesis, Optimus Prime, and soften him up for the kill. [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]], in turn, had hired them to lead Megatron to his death on the same mission. After a delightful romp through the woods at Prime's heels,'' {{storylink|Prey!}} ''the Predacons turned on Megatron, with Divebomb stealing his fusion cannon and leaving him at Prime's mercy. Things didn't work out as planned, and both Optimus and Megatron survived, although a brain-blasting incident with the Cybertronian Decepticon leader [[Straxus (G1)|Straxus]] left Megatron with short-term amnesia, unable to remember the Predacons' role in the incident.'' {{storylink|...The Harder They Die!}}

[[File:Predacons-GoneButNotForgotten.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67]]
Shockwave hired Divebomb and the Predacons ''again, a few months later'' to assassinate Megatron. He had the Predacons install themselves with rotating insignias, in order to disguise themselves as Autobot assassins. While Megatron was able to defeat the Predacons, even in their combined form as [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]], he ended up eliminating himself by blowing up the [[space bridge]] while standing on it. (It just goes to show that paranoid, schizophrenic, psychopathic mechanoids with heavy artillery are their own worst enemies.) The Predacons then "moved in" with Shockwave and his warriors on Earth. {{storylink|Gone but Not Forgotten!}}

[[File:Divebomb swoop grudge match.jpg|thumb|left|upright=0.6]]
''Divebomb, however, quickly grew bored with life on Earth. While he had enjoyed the thrilling hunts against worthy targets like Optimus Prime and Megatron, the simple day-to-day activity of stealing energy and scaring humans wasn't enough to keep his interest. Divebomb was weighing his personal interests against his duty to remain with his fellow Predacons when he ran into his old sparring partner, the Autobot Divebomb now known as [[Swoop (G1)|Swoop]]. Divebomb was overjoyed at the reunion, and even though their fellow Predacons and Dinobots interrupted the fight, Divebomb's spirit was fully renewed: his playmate was back!'' {{storylink|Grudge Match!}}

Divebomb and the other Predacons remained active on Earth under Shockwave and [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]]'s command. They were tasked with stealing [[liquid oxygen]] fuel from a chemical plant and when [[Intelligence and Information Institute|Triple-I]] threatened to execute their [[Throttlebot|robot captives]] in the event of further raids, the Predacons ensured the Autobots' execution by promptly launching another attack. Afterwards, they stormed Triple-I's headquarters to make sure that the Autobots were truly dead... only to find that their brain modules had been removed from their bodies prior to their destruction. Tracking the "fuel scent" of the brain modules to a nearby mall where the Throttlebots were being transported inside toy cars, Divebomb and the others attempted to capture them but were outmanoeuvred at every turn by their miniature opponents. {{storylink|Toy Soldiers!}} Still, Ratbat successfully captured Buster Witwicky, and so ordered the Predacons to withdraw. {{storylink|The Desert Island of Space!}} Divebomb remained working under Ratbat at the Decepticons' [[Club Con|desert island base]] and participated in the [[Decepticon Civil War]] that broke out when its crew came into contact with [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]]'s forces in the [[Arctic]]. {{storylink|Cold War!}} Subsequently, both factions of Decepticons joined forces with the Autobots to battle [[Starscream (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Starscream]], who had absorbed the power of the legendary [[Underbase]]. Divebomb and the Predacons were deactivated by Starscream along with several dozen other warriors he was confronted with in [[Tokyo]]. {{storylink|Dark Star}}

====Earthforce====
[[File:Divebomb bad guys ball.jpg|thumb|upright=0.85]]
{{earthforcefiction}}
Divebomb was part of Shockwave's forces on Earth, working at odds with the Autobots and Megatron's own Decepticons. At the [[Enclave]], Divebomb was hanging out near the buffet table when his fellow moocher, [[Headstrong (G1)|Headstrong]], mysteriously disappeared. Not long after that, the entire party broke out into a furious melee. {{storylink|The Bad Guy's Ball!}} He was later seen hanging out at Shockwave's hidden base {{storylink|Bugged!}} and then joined the fight when [[Soundwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Soundwave]] led the Decepticons into a massive strike on the Autobot Earthbase. Their goal was to kill some Autobots, while also distracting them as [[Starscream (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Starscream]] looted a human oil tanker in the [[Gulf of Mexico]]. Both goals proved fruitless, and the Decepticons were driven off. {{storylink|Divide and Conquer!}}

[[File:G1 Divebomb beast mode.JPG|left|thumb|Divebomb, dropping his load.]]
Divebomb and the other Predacons were first seen in [[2006]], during a short-lived alliance between [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]] and the [[Quintesson]]s. They were dispatched to Jupiter's moon [[Io]] to stop the Autobots from getting Metroplex's new transformation cog to him. The Predacons didn't fare so well despite their lackluster opposition; they did better combined as Predaking, but Sky Lynx defeated the giant and the Autobots escaped. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 5}}

{{charstubfiction|{{storylink|Chaos (episode)|Chaos}}}}

[[File:Fight-or-flee-divebomb-robot.jpg|thumb]]
When the Decepticons hostilely occupied the lost colony world of [[Paradron]], the Predacons came along for mission. One Autobot named [[Sandstorm (G1)|Sandstorm]] was not as easily beaten down as the rest of the planet's pacifistic population, and had to be jailed. When he escaped, Divebomb performed aerial patrols until he spotted the Paradronian working on an old ship to escape. After radioing in to Galvatron for permission to terminate, Divebomb took the time to enjoy his kill. He swooped up in a wide arc, and then began screaming back down to the surface at terminal velocity, hoping to race his missiles towards the target. While the Predacon was doing all this, however, Sandstorm finished refueling his rocket and took off, narrowly missing the explosion when Divebomb finally fired at him. Poor Divebomb—his showmanship cost him the kill. {{storylink|Fight or Flee (episode)|Fight or Flee}}
[[File:Divebombcamera.jpg|thumb|left| He's filling in for [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]] ]]
On what was supposed to be a routine assault on the Autobots, Divebomb and the Predacons got swept up in a Quintesson plot to destroy the Transformers, using a special machine to bring the nightmares of [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel Witwicky]] to life. When a dream dragon carried off [[Springer (G1)|Springer]] and their leader [[Razorclaw (G1)|Razorclaw]], the Predacons entered into an uneasy truce with [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Rodimus Prime]] and [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]] to find their comrades in the ever-shifting mist-filled landscape. Divebomb was easily the least recalcitrant of the Predacons, and seemed to have no problem working alongside the Autobots, and even taking suggestions from Rodimus Prime during the occasional fights along the way. In fact, he seemed more concerned with defending his status as "ace of the air" against a fantasy bi-plane than anything else during the conflict. Which really begs the question of how he fell into a void when the Transformers went into an Earth funhouse. {{storylink|Nightmare Planet}}

When [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Starscream]]'s ghost possessed [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] and stole him out from under Galvatron's feet (literally), Divebomb was among the Decepticon warriors who engaged in pursuit of the thief. A full-scale battle took place in the air over Cybertron when Starscream-as-Trypticon stood against the Decepticons while protecting his bargaining partner, [[Unicron]]. Divebomb was blown to smithereens in the melee, but seemed okay a few seconds later. {{storylink|Ghost in the Machine (G1)|Ghost in the Machine}}

Divebomb was also among the Primitives who were summoned to fight [[Tornedron]] by the [[Oracle (G1)|former assistant]] of [[Primacron]]. However, other than taking part in a brawl with the Dinobots and forming Predaking in a last stand attempt, Divebomb proceeded to do nothing of importance during the adventure. Dude looked cool, though. {{storylink|Call of the Primitives}}

====Japanese cartoon continuity====
=====''The Headmasters'' cartoon=====
[[File:MysteryPlanetMaster Hot Rod stops Predaking combination.jpg|thumb|200px]]
Divebomb and the Predacons were part of Galvatron's strike force on Cybertron in [[2011]], seeking to wrest control of [[Vector Sigma]] from the Autobots. Along with the [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]]s and [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]], the Predacons outmaneuvered the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobot]]s and [[Throttlebot]]s into the bottom of a canyon, and began firing down upon them. {{storylink|Four Warriors Come out of the Sky}} Later, the Predacons traveled to Earth in order to stymie Hot Rod's attempt to locate the [[Matrix of Leadership]]. Divebomb's unit found the former Autobot leader in the Arctic, but were held off by [[Blaster (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Blaster]], his [[Autobot Mini-Cassette|Mini-Cassettes]], and [[Superion (G1)|Superion]]. {{storylink|The Mystery of Planet Master}} Divebomb and the Predacons were among the Decepticons Galvatron brought with him to the planet [[Beast (planet)|Beast]], although they were absent during the Autobot attack that drove the Decepticons off. {{storylink|Rebellion on Planet Beast}}

[[File:Hm10 Shouki Punch.jpg|left|thumb|200px]]
When the Autobots created a new kind of metal on Cybertron called [[Cybertonuron]], Galvatron wanted to claim it for himself. He sent Divebomb and the Predacons to Cybertron as an advance guard to pave the way for his forces. They mowed down Cybertron's standing guardians and began to wreak havoc on the planet. {{storylink|Cybertron Is in Grave Danger, Part 1}} Once the Autobots arrived from Earth, the Predacons were confronted by [[Shouki]] and the [[Trainbot]]s. Their attempts to intimidate the Light-Speed Commander failed utterly, and a fight broke out. Divebomb was left seeing little mecha-birdies after Shōki decked him with a mighty fist. {{storylink|Cybertron Is in Grave Danger, Part 2}} Divebomb and the Predacons assembled as Predaking to help [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]] and [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] steal the [[Sol 1]] satellite, but they were driven off by [[Raiden]] and the Headmasters. {{storylink|The Shadow Emperor, Scorponok}} Next, Divebomb and the Predacons helped Scorponok stage a crisis to keep the Autobots distracted, by setting off a volcano in [[Peru]]. On-scene to keep the Autobots from rescuing innocent villagers, Divebomb's group first clashed with the Trainbots before joining forces as Predaking and once again fighting Raiden and the Headmasters. {{storylink|The Dormant Volcano Mysteriously Erupts}}

As Scorponok began his plan to capture the [[plasma energy]] of Mars by blowing it up, Divebomb and the Predacons stood guard on Mars as the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcon]]s began planting the necessary bombs. When the Trainbots stumbled across the plot, the Predacons started up a firefight to dispose of the meddling Autobots. With Daniel Witwicky and [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]] missing, the Trainbots tagged out with the Autobot Headmasters to go looking for them. Razorclaw gave the order and Predaking was formed. Unfortunately, even Predaking was no match for [[Transtector]] power, and he was felled by a quadruple jump kick by the Headmasters. {{storylink|Explosion on Mars!! Maximus Is in Danger}}

Divebomb and the Predacons attended Scorponok's ceremony on the [[Moon (moon)|moon]]. They were scattered by the Autobot attack, but rallied around Galvatron's late arrival and drove off their heroic opponents. {{storylink|Return of the Immortal Emperor}}

As Scorponok abandoned Earth in favor of conquering [[Master (planet)|Master]], Divebomb was one of his many troops seen attacking the planet's fortifications. {{storylink|Miraculous Warriors, Targetmasters (Part 2)}} He also helped retrofit the [[Zarak Shield]] out of indestructible [[G-Metal]] so that it could stand up to the [[Master Sword]]. {{storylink|The Zarak Shield Turns the Tide}}

Seeking to create a [[Decepticon Zone]] to counter the [[Micro|Autobot Zone]], [[Emperor of Destruction|Decepticon Emperor]] [[Violengiguar]] gathered together the Nine Great Demon Generals, upgrading them with powerful new armor and weaponry, then sent them forth to conquer planets. Divebomb was among the selected, but only as a part of Predaking. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Zone (story page)|Zone Part 1}} {{storylink|Fight!

=====''Generations Selects Special Comic''=====
Decades after Predaking was destroyed fighting [[Dai Atlas (G1)|Dai Atlas]], the Quintessons used their [[Recreator]] to bring the Predacons back to life. Predaking fought the Dinobots on [[Dinobot Island (G1)|Dinobot Island]], but was outmatched when Grimlock used an [[Energon Matrix]] to combine the Dinobots as [[Volcanicus (POTP)|Volcanicus]]. Divebomb and the Predacons were broken down into individuals after a blow from the Magma Blade, and fled the battle. {{storylink|Volcanicus comic 1}}

====''The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers''====
Divebomb participated in an all-out assault on the planet [[Feminia]]. He merged with his Predacon cohorts into Predaking, but they were toppled by the [[Omnibot (G1)|Omnibot]]s. {{storylink|The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers issue 5|The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers #5}}

===Toy pack-in material===
Divebomb participated in a tumultuous battle on a moon base, wherein he fought side by side with Galvatron against the likes of [[Springer (G1)|Springer]], [[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]], and [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]]. {{storylink|Decipher the Decepticon}}

===Dreamwave ''Generation One'' continuity===
Divebomb and the Predacons were warlords on Cybertron at an undisclosed point in the past, before being exiled from their homeworld. Millions of years later, Megatron tracked them down on the planet [[Beast (planet)|Beest]] and reprogrammed the Predacons to serve him, giving them an Awesome and Terrifying (TM) combined mode as Predaking. {{storylink|Welcome to the Jungle}} Divebomb and his partners helped Megatron reassert his dominion over Shockwave and his troops on Cybertron, {{storylink|Lost and Found (issue)|Lost and Found}} and then over Starscream and the crew of the ''Nemesis'' on Earth. {{storylink|The Route of All Evil}}

===''G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers''===
Divebomb was among [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]'s troops as they waited patiently for [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]]'s force field around [[Teletran 3]] to dissipate. {{storylink|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers II issue 2|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers II #2}}

Shockwave was defeated, however, and the Predacons were driven back to Cybertron's [[Gladiator Zone]]. When [[Nautilator]] trespassed on their territory, Divebomb and the others attacked him, an attack which soon led to a battle between Predaking and [[Piranacon (G1)|Piranacon]]. The Predacons had just come out on top when both groups were suddenly approached by [[Serpentor|Serpent O.R.]], who claimed to be the son of Megatron. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 2|The Art of War #2}}

[[File:Divebomb headstrong art of war 3.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]
Along with the [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]] and [[Seacon (G1)|Seacons]], the Predacons joined Serpent O.R.'s new Decepticon army and helped capture some Autobots and [[G.I. Joe (team)|Joes]] that had followed their leader to Cybertron. During a meeting to recruit more fighters to Serpent O.R.'s cause, Divebomb tried to convince [[Hun-Gurrr (G1)|Hun-Grrr]] to join them, only for the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcon]] to call him and his Predacon comrades "obsolete tech". Divebomb responded by goading Tantrum into attacking Hun-Grrr, but the fight was broken up with the arrival of Serpent O.R. The Predacons later participated in an attack on an Autobot peace ceremony. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 3|The Art of War #3}}

After returning to the Decepticon headquarters, Divebomb had a conversation with Rampage about how the Decepticons' chances were really looking up with Serpent O.R. in command. Unfortunately, the two didn't notice that the Autobots and humans they had captured earlier had escaped, and they were quickly beaten down. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 4|The Art of War #4}}

===The Beast Within===
When the Dinobots combined into [[Beast (G1)|The Beast]] during a violent conflict between the Autobots and the Decepticons, Divebomb joined his fellow Predacons in forming Predaking. {{storylink|The Beast Within}}

===2005 IDW continuity===
:*''First Appearance:'' [[Stormbringer issue 4|Transformers: Stormbringer #4]]

Before the war began, [[Kup (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Kup]] helped train the Predacons, refining them into an effective team of shock troopers. {{storylink|The Iron Klaw}} The team responded to [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Megatron]]'s open casting call for [[gladiatorial combat]]ants. Divebomb remarked that many heard Megatron's call and came, to which Rampage expressed contempt at some of the amateurs. The Predacons appeared to change their minds after seeing [[Grimlock (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Grimlock]] and the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dynobots]], however. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 3|Megatron Origin #3}} Divebomb had the privilege of being right next to Megatron while his plot to assassinate the Senate unfurled. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 4|Megatron Origin #4}}

After Scorponok overthrew Megatron, Divebomb and the Predacons left the Decepticon army. Deserting, they ravaged a trail of worlds until they ended up on Canis Tor, killing all animals on the planet. Starving and facing permanent shutdown, Divebomb, Headstrong, and Tantrum were content to watch Razorclaw and Rampage fight until Divebomb passed out, weakened from lack of energon. As his teammates prepared to consume him, he was saved by the arrival of Starscream, who informed them of Megatron's return. {{storylink|Primacy issue 2}} Rejoining the main Decepticon force, Divebomb and the other Predacons participated in the attack on Iacon, where he proceeded to kill the traitorous Slinger with the help of with the other Predacons, and subsequently attack the Dynobots with the rest of his unit. {{storylink|Primacy issue 4}}

[[File:SpotlightBlaster Divebomb.jpg|left|upright=0.85|thumb|Hovering, like a....]]
During the war that followed the Decepticon rebellion, the Predacons hunted down [[Jazz (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Jazz]] and attempted to kill him and an injured [[Tracks (G1)|Tracks]]. After the other three were defeated, Divebomb tracked down the Autobots together with Razorclaw, but was rammed into a wall in a last ditch attack by Tracks. {{storylink|Spotlight: Jazz}} He also participated in the Decepticons' big push against the weakened Autobot positions shortly after the end of the first [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]] cataclysm. {{storylink|Spotlight: Blaster}}

[[File:Stormbringer4 Decepticonfliers.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|"It's time for kicking butt and [[What's in a Name?|taking names]]!"]]
In the modern era, Divebomb and his fellow Predacons commanded the Decepticon battle cruiser ''[[Thanatos]]''. Under orders from Megatron, they traveled to Cybertron to ensure Thunderwing never again threatened Decepticon interests. While preparing a planetary carpet-bombing, Razorclaw also dispatched his warriors to provide assistance to [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Optimus Prime]] and the [[Wreckers]], in the hopes of defeating the crazed giant without destroying their homeworld. Divebomb personally led a squadron of flyers into battle, including [[Blast Off (G1)|Blast Off]], [[Triggerhappy (G1)|Triggerhappy]], [[Spinister (G1)|Spinister]], and [[Windsweeper]]. Divebomb didn't have a lot of targets, which is a bummer, but he did get his rematch with Thunderwing, so it all worked out in the end. {{storylink|Stormbringer issue 4|Stormbringer #4}}

Several years later, the Predacons ended up stranded on [[Earth]], including Divebomb. {{storylink|International Incident Part 3: "Hawk Among the Sparrows"|Hawk Among the Sparrows}} Around this time, the team briefly experimented with [[combiner]] technology, but the effort was ultimately abandoned. {{storylink|The Iron Klaw}} In order to survive all of the Predacons save Razorclaw became hired guns for [[China]], protecting their borders in exchange for [[energon]]. Led by Rampage, they intervened when a battle between the Autobots (allied with [[Skywatch]]) and the [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]] (allied with [[North Korea]]) got too close for comfort. {{storylink|International Incident Part 3: "Hawk Among the Sparrows"|Hawk Among the Sparrows}}

[[File:All My Sins remembered Divebomb Beast Mode.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|left]]
The Predacons were willing to leave without a fight, but then [[Onslaught (G1)|Onslaught]] shot Rampage in the back and things got ugly real fast. Divebomb had a dogfight with [[Thundercracker (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Thundercracker]], who was temporarily siding with the Autobots, but the battle was interrupted by the news of an incoming [[Russia]]n nuclear strike. The Predacons fled back to China, but later stopped serving the humans anyway after Thundercracker destroyed the nation's energon factories. {{storylink|International Incident Part 4: "All My Sins Remembered"|All My Sins Remembered}}

Once the war ended, Divebomb ended up in Autobot captivity on Cybertron. {{storylink|The Autonomy Lesson (issue)|The Autonomy Lesson}} Later, Divebomb was among a Cybertronian crowd recruited by Starscream to pressure Prowl into revealing one of his secret discoveries below ground on Cybertron. Later underground, they witnessed a [[Titan (group)|Titan]] declare that Starscream was the Cybertronian destined to unite their whole race. He and the other Cybertronians celebrated afterwards with Starscream. {{storylink|Primus: All Good Things|All Good Things}}

[[File:TheIronKlaw-Predacons.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.4]]

When Galvatron resurfaced and took control of the Decepticons, Divebomb was one of the loyalists who joined him in his plan to invade Earth. Galvatron's crusade went wrong and Divebomb and the other Predacons were once again marooned on Earth. One way or another, fell into the path of the villainous [[Iron Klaw|Count von "Iron Klaw" Rani]], who forcibly brainwashed the Predacons into becoming mindless servants while improving on their botched combiner tech. When [[Joe Colton|Baron Ironblood]] visited him to check on the progress of their plans, von Rani took the opportunity to show off his new creations. When [[Kup (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Kup]], [[Ian Noble|Action Man]], [[Snake-Eyes]], and [[G.B. Blackrock]] stormed the base, von Rani took the opportunity to deploy the team's new "Predaking" form. Though powerful, the combiner was undone after Snake-Eyes smashed the console responsible for keeping the Cybertronian combined and brainwashed; Divebomb was knocked unconscious by the separation. {{storylink|The Iron Klaw}}

Later, Divebomb and the other Predacons formed Predaking to defend [[Venice]] from [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]]'s [[Maximal]] legions. {{storylink|Ceremony}}

After the end of the Great War, the Predacons (or those of them surviving) founded the new [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon faction]]. Divebomb, long thought destroyed, contacted [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]], [[Buzzsaw (G1)|Buzzsaw]], and [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]] in secret and arranged for them to be rebuilt and join the faction. Though Ravage later left to serve the [[Tripredacus Council]], Laserbeak and Buzzsaw remained loyal to Divebomb. {{storylink|Laserbeak (G1)/toys#Timelines|BotCon 2006 Laserbeak profile card}} Years later, now in a reformatted technorganic body, Divebomb was seen in communication with his old comrade Razorclaw. {{storylink|Dawn of Future's Past}}

Divebomb and the Predacons were so cuddly and adorwable in [[beast mode]], the Autobots could not bring themselves to fight back. The Predacons went from adorable to abominal when they formed Predaking, though, and the Autobots had a renewed fighting spirit...at least until the Predacons split into beasts again. {{storylink|Behemoth Combination!

Divebomb tends to get overexcited by all the hapless fools below he could destroy. He doesn't know where to start! Bombarding his foes from the skies is his passion, and the only thing he loathes is having to combine with his teammates, as the loner Divebomb has little affection for them, as he'd much rather stay hidden and look out for prey.{{storylink|source:Transformers:_Earth_Wars/2016#Divebomb|Divebomb bio}}

: Released in the third year of the [[The Transformers (toyline)|original ''The Transformers'' toyline]], Predacon Divebomb transforms into a robotic eagle. His two "particle-beam rifles" can plug into holes in his wings. Early releases of the Predacons had [[die-cast]] metal parts; Divebomb's was his waist assembly. Later releases replaced these with plastic.

: He can also form either arm to [[Predaking (G1)#Toys|Predaking]], though his nominal placement is as the left arm. His wing-pack detaches to form Predaking's backpack, though it doesn't really attach to Razorclaw's back and will fall off with movement.

: In the US, some releases of the Predacons also came with one of four parts to a ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'' poster with [[glow-in-the-dark]] elements.

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Deluxe Class toys, ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (franchise)#Toys|War for Cybertron]]'' Cybertronian Bumblebee transforms into a "Cybertronian courier mode". In robot mode, his gauntlets each have a wrist-mounted flip-out blade. His handgun is held via [[5 mm post]], and can be stored inside his rear bumper in either robot or vehicle mode. Bumblebee's head appears to have [[light-piping]], but his eyes are painted over in blue, thus rendering the gimmick neutered. His legs are generally loose at the mid-thigh joint due to being used for transformation.

: He and Cybertronian [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#Generations|Optimus Prime]] shipped ahead of their two other wavemates in the United States via [[Toys"R"Us]].

: This mold was [[redeco]]ed into ''[[Transformers United|United]]'' [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#United|Bumblebee Cybertron Mode]], as well as [[retool]]ed into ''Generations/War for Cybertron'' [[Cliffjumper (WFC)#Generations|Cliffjumper]] and ''United'' [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#United|Cliffjumper Cybertron Mode]]. In fact, Bumblebee's instructions depict him with Cliffjumper's head, revealing the retool before it was officially announced. This mold also inspired the "Damus" body for [[IDW Publishing|IDW comic]] character [[Tarn (G1)|Tarn]].

: Part of the first wave of Hasbro's ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)|Prime]]'' [[Cyberverse (toyline)#Series 2|Series 2 ''Cyberverse'']] Legion Class toys, Bumblebee transforms into a the fictional "[[Urbana 500]]" muscle car. He features numerous [[C joint|3 mm port]]s for mounting Cyberverse weapons, such as on his hands, doors/arms, and roof/back.

: He comes with a blaster modeled after his in-show cannon, which features two 3 mm posts and a port, and is cast in soft translucent red plastic. This weapon, in a variety of colors, is also used by ''Cyberverse'' [[Arcee (WFC)#Cyberverse|Arcee]], [[Evac (Ride)#Cyberverse|Evac]], [[Wheeljack (Prime)#Hyperspeed|Hyperspeed Wheeljack]], [[Tailgate (Prime)|Autobot Tailgate]], the [[Bumblebee (WFC)/toys#CyberverseBattlesuit|redeco]] of Bumblebee that comes with the [[Bumblebee Battle Suit]] (see below) and [[Transformers (2014 toyline)|2014 ''Transformers'']] [[Groove (G1)#Transformers (2014)|Protectobot Groove]].

: Some units had the blaster molded in significantly more flexible (and also more creamy and less translucent) plastic.

: In Japan, Bumblebee was part of the first wave of the [[EZ Collection#Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Prime|''Prime''-themed]] portion of the ongoing, multi-franchise ''[[EZ Collection]]'' series, with no notable changes.

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)#BH|Beast Hunters]]'' [[Cyberverse (toyline)#Series 3|Series 3 ''Cyberverse'']] Legion Class toys, Bumblebee is a redeco and significant "[[retool]]" (in the loosest sense of the term; ''literally'' every single part except for his wheels and the shoulder joints is modified) of Legion Class Bumblebee, transforming into a heavily-armed Urbana 500 muscle car with spikes covering the front wheels, sculpted missile launchers and boosters/blasters on the doors, armor panels at the rear, and a large version of his double-barreled blaster sculpted onto his hood, the barrels of which end up mounted on his chest/shoulders in robot mode. He sports various 3 mm ports in the same places the original Legion Class toy did.

: He comes with the "[[Eagleshot Bow]]", a crossbow which has two 3 mm ports and three posts, allowing it to mount/be mounted in different ways. This bow, in varying colors, was also used by [[Airachnid (Prime)#Cyberverse|Airachnid]], [[Windrazor (Prime)#Toys|Windrazor]], and [[Rippersnapper (Prime)#Toys|Rippersnapper]].

{{toydesigner|[[Joe Kyde]] (Hasbro)}}

: The only new product from the second wave of ''Prime: Beast Hunters Cyberverse'' Vehicle playsets, the [[Energon Driller]] (a redeco of the Series 2 Driller stripped of its electronics) comes with a redeco of Legion Class Series 3 Bumblebee, who features an ever-so-slightly darker shade of yellow plastic, black instead of charcoal wheels and hip and shoulder joints, dark metallic blue instead of black paint details for his front bumper, windscreen, shins and forearms/vehicle mode doors, black instead of silver paint operations for the face and the double-barreled blaster on the hood, and less saturated blue paint operations for the eyes.

: He comes with blue redecos of the Series 2 Driller's prod and saw accessories, which were originally meant for [[Knock Out (Prime)#Cyberverse|Knock Out]], as well as the Eagleshot Bow. The Energon Booster (originally part of the Series 2 Vehicles' light-up gimmick) is also included as a separate piece no longer connected to the Driller by a power cable, and can also be used by Bumblebee as a hand-held weapon.

: The Bumblebee Energon Driller was notoriously absent from US retail for many months after being available from online retailers, and even appearing at retail in Hasbro's Asian and eventually European markets. It wasn't until much later that it finally became available through discount stores such as Ross, although there have also been sightings at [[Toys"R"Us]] Express, Hastings, and Tuesday Morning stores.

**''Accessories:'' 2 arm-mounted blasters (Hasbro only), "B.B." Arms Micron (Takara only)
:Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)#Robots in Disguise (2012)|Prime: Robots in Disguise]]'' Deluxe Class toys, this Bumblebee is an entirely new mold, and features a much simpler transformation (and slightly decreased poseability), including a "dramatic head reveal": the entire car mode front section are geared together, so when the robot mode shoulders are pulled out, the hood opens up to flip out Bumblebee's head and expand his chest. Two blaster weapons are now included, which use [[5 mm post|5 mm posts and holes]] to mount on his forearms, engine block, or be used as hand-held weapons. They can also combine to form a larger quad-barreled cannon. While the [[instructions]] are rather vague about it, his folded-up roof features a tab that's meant to peg into a slot behind his pelvis, securing his roof somewhat in robot mode. This version of the toy was later retooled into [[Hot Shot (Prime)#Prime|Hot Shot]].

:In wave six of the "Robots in Disguise" toyline, Bumblebee was put into new packaging, which came with a DVD featuring the ''[[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)|Prime]]'' episode "[[Loose Cannons]]".

:The [[TakaraTomy]] version of Bumblebee, part of the first wave of ''Prime'' toys, is considerably different. His roof and doors have been retooled to include 5 mm-hole mounting points, which are meant to be used with the new [[Arms Micron]] system. As such, he does not come with the Hasbro version's blasters, instead, he comes with the Arms Micron [[B.B. (Prime)#Prime|B.B.]], which transforms into an oversized version of Bumblebee's wrist-mounted blasters. His [[paint operation]]s have also been pretty heavily decreased; his doors, roof, and rear window frame have stripe-less solid-yellow paint to cover the clear plastic, leaving his engine block, grill parts and face the only "detail-painted" parts on the toy. Most of his detailing, like his car mode striping, is provided by a separate sheet of customer-applied foil [[sticker]]s. (This allows for more [[show-accuracy|show-accurate]] stripes than the painted Hasbro version.) Unfortunately, he suffers from a particularly horrid case of sticker placement: The [[instructions]] tell you to place stickers between his front wheels and doors to continue his stripe patterns, but due to how the doors are jointed, there is not enough clearance near them to accommodate these stickers, and opening the doors will ''destroy'' the stickers.

:Part of the first wave of ''Prime: Robots in Disguise'' Weaponizer Class toys, Bumblebee is a large, roughly Leader-sized mold with a simplified [[Transformation|transformation scheme]], more accurate proportions, and a grand total of ''four'' [[Kibble#"Faux-parts"|fake wheel]]s on his person due to said transformation. He comes with a double-barreled blaster pistol which can be mounted onto his hands, forearms, and trunk.

:His ''main'' gimmicks, however, are the two large mini-guns hidden in his hood-chest, which can deploy and "weaponize" either mode. When his robot head/engine block is pressed down, the mini-guns swing out from his hood-chest and spin, while a red LED inside his torso lights up briefly. Pushing on the gray lever/the center front fender portion (both on his chest) briefly lights up the LED again and swings the mini-guns back into his body.

:His [[stock photography]] (& his commercial appearance) gives him a [[:File:Transformers-Prime-Weaponizers-Bumblebee.jpg|''completely'' different vehicle deco]] compared to the final product, with the final toy having fewer [[paint operation]]s overall. The final product lacks the stripe patterns between the front wheels and doors due to that patch being made of [[unpaintable plastic]], shrinks the stripes on the hood, tapers the door stripes towards the front, and extends it towards the rear wheels, rearranges the stripes on the trunk, roof, and behind the engine block, shrinks the Autobot symbol on the roof, and moves said symbol to the front of the hood. The hood stripes, in particular, have been ''significantly'' shrunk into what are essentially ''pinstripes''.

:A [[Variant#Running changes|running change variant]] of this figure features much thicker stripes on his hood chest.

:The Japanese release, dubbed '''Gatling Bumblebee''', sports metallic gold paint on most of his paintable yellow plastic, and some silver details such as the stomach and the rims. He comes with a gray version of his Arms Micron, B.B.. Unlike the initial Hasbro release (and not the running change version), the pinstripes on the hood, doors, and rear wheels are much thicker.

His sculpt is based much more on the rather more [[show-accuracy|show model]] than his previous ''Rescue Bots'' toys. His left hand is morphed into a blue jackhammer as part of the "Energize" theme.

**''Accessories:'' "Rescue launcher", rescue missile

:The [[Bumblebee Rescue Repair Station]] is a "3D pop-up playset" that unfolds into a play area for ''Rescue Bots'' figures, and features a working "rescue hatch" and spring-loaded "rescue launcher". It is actually the Danger Room playset from Hasbro's ''Marvel Superhero Squad'' line in new colors, but does both [[retool]] out that playset's Sentinel head with a crane arm claw and include a new sticker sheet. It was released in international markets to no fanfare at some point in 2013, apparently being available in at least Latin America and South Korea (the latter being English packaging with a Korean sticker).

:The included Bumblebee is the same deco as the individual non-transforming figure.

He features articulated elbows and 5 mm compatible fists. Oddly for a ''Rescue Bots'' figure, and in common with [[Salvage (RB)#GTruck|Salvage]], this articulation ''isn't'' the result of his transformation scheme.

:This figure was significantly retooled and redecoed into the [[Blades (RB)#RescanVTOL|Rescan series VTOL version of Blades]], which was later given a new head and redecoed into ''[[Transformers: Rescue Bots Academy (toyline)|Rescue Bots Academy]]'' [[Whirl (RBA)#AcadRescTeam|"Academy Rescue Team" Whirl]], and more extensively retooled into the plane versions of ''Rescue Bots Academy'' [[Hot Shot (Prime)#Plane|Hot Shot]] and [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]].

**''Kreons'': Bumblebee, [[Security Guard]] x2, [[Biker]], [[Bulldog (Kre-O)|Bulldog]]
**''Accessories'': Handgun, shotgun, submachinegun, barrel x2, flak jacket

: The "[[Stealth Bumblebee]]" set comes with a predominantly-black version of Bumblebee that rebuilds into a sports car capable of carrying a single Kreon. His right arm ends in a rotating barrel, simulating a built-in blaster-arm.

: The accompanying Bumblebee Kreon is based on the ''[[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)|Prime]]'' version of the character. He lacks a right hand, instead having a clear-blue cylinder that slips over the cuff, simulating an arm-blaster. He uses the [[Ironhide (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Ironhide]] helmet and the [[Prowl (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Prowl]] door-wing backpack. Like most of the 2012 sets, Bumblebee comes with his own extra clear "Energon" torso piece. This piece was apparently intended to feature the Bumblebee tampographs at some point, but like all of the extra torsos in this year's assortment, it's been been left unimpressively blank.

In lieu of the arm cannon, Bee has access to a variety of weapons stored on a weapons rack.

**''Accessories'': Blaster, stasis pod

:Available only in the "[[Bumblebee Disc Demolishor]]" set, this Bumblebee based on his appearance in the ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 franchise)|Robots in Disguise]]'' series. He carries an [[Andorian]] blaster pistol from the ''Kre-O [[Star Trek]]'' line. He uses the new 2015 style of Kreon hips and torso, with a hollow hip-peg and a central post inside the torso for increased grip... which also makes them incompatible with about four years' worth of Kreons.

: His massive vehicle, based on the character's vehicle mode, features a pop-up launcher in its trunk section, which fires plastic rings via pressure-launch. There is ''just'' enough space behind the windshield to seat a Kreon, though their noggin will stick out just a bit through a hole in the roof. The set also comes with a "[[Stasis pod#Aligned continuity family|stasis cell]]", used to imprison Kreons and kept shut with a rubber band.

:Like the rest of the ''Robots in Disguise'' building sets, these sets were not released at normal retail in the US. They were sold in Taiwan and Singapore from January 2015, and later in Canada from May 2015. The eventually were made available in the US through "closeout" chains like TJ Maxx, Ross, and Marshall's.

He comes with a buildable parts rack on which to hang/store his extra pieces. Unlike the previous Custom Kreons, he doesn't have a chromed helmet, but he does come with the standard clear-plastic helmet, torso, and legs, plus clear-plastic normal Kreon arms. He also has a clip-on cannon, a sniper rifle, a blaster pistol, and a chromed axe.

:Despite what the instructions say, the body piece cannot be pegged down between the leg parts installed on the display stand. However this can be amended by putting a 2x1 plate piece there to "mount" the torso slightly higher.

Each character comes in three color sets (in theory): "Armor Up", "Blizzard Strike" and "Night Strike", using the same parts, though every version comes with a different facial expression.

: Be careful with the "Blizzard Strike" sets, as the clear-plastic clips used to secure the leg extensions are prone to cracking.

:"Mini-Con Combiner"' Bumblebee comes with one standard Kreon and four ''Cityville''-syle mini-Kreons of the same character, each one a different incarnation from various franchises. With some extra parts, the mini-Kreons become limbs to make a larger combiner-bot.

: The torso-Kreon and one Mini-Con are based on versions of Generation 1 Bumblebee: [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Classics|''Classics'']] (with an arm-cannon instead of a hand-held blaster, oddly) and [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Deluxe|"Thrilling 30" Bumblebee]] (Prowl helmet) respectively. The remaining three Mini-Con Bumblebees are based on [[Bumblebee (WFC)|"Aligned" Bumblebee]] bodies: ''[[Bumblebee (WFC)#Transformers: War for Cybertron (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)|War for Cybertron]]'' (Bumblebee helmet), ''[[Bumblebee (WFC)#Prime cartoon|Prime]]'' (Ratchet helmet), and ''[[Bumblebee (WFC)#Rescue Bots cartoon|Rescue Bots]]'' (Jazz helmet).

:[https://www.seibertron.com/events/fullsize.php?event_id=400&size=1&image=29 First shown at New York Toy Fair 2015], the Mini-Con Combiners were apparently cancelled without fanfare... a decision that must have come late in the day, as they went on to star in their own promotional animation, "[[Stuck in a Tree]]", released about eight months after the trade show.

:Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' Legion figures, Bumblebee transforms into a (fictional) Griffin Motors 1995 Windblazer. In [[robot mode]], his fists & shoulders are compatible with 3 mm-peg weapons, although he does not come with any himself. Unlike some of the figures below, this Bumblebee does not feature a faux front car chest window. His scannable Autobot insignia is on his driver-side door in vehicle mode, becoming his right arm in robot mode. This badge is accessible while he is still in-package.

:[[File:RID Legion Bumblebee Packaging Comparison.jpg|thumb|upright=1|left|Almost as persistent as the ''Generation 1'' figure.]]

: The initial release's instructions had two errors: Bumblebee's head needs to flip forward when transforming into vehicle mode, but this will make his vehicle mode slightly bumped up from the back (this can be remedied by flipping his head underneath). The instructions also tell you to flip his right hand up instead on his vehicle bonnet/body piece. Later releases fixes the issues. ''Probably'' due to tolerance issues or a design flaw, The right side of Bumblebee's alternate mode rear section has a slight gap if not properly transformed.

: Despite being succeeded by the "Night Ops" redeco in wave 4, the original yellow and black deco of the figure made a comeback in subsequent waves, in two different packaging [[variant]]s as part of the "Mini-Con Weaponizers" (2016) and "Combiner Force" (2017) [[subline imprint]]s. While the "Weaponizers" version has only ever been found at retail in United States, the "Combiner Force" version saw a more widespread international release again.

His scannable badge is on his vehicle mode's roof. Although the badge is accessible while in-package, the badge was neutered by a thin rubber band, unless you want to take the toy out from the packaging.

:One of his stock photos is mistransformed: his back piece isn't folded down.

His scannable sticker is also altered, but scanning the badge only unlocks Energon currency, but not the character.

:Like the Legion Class figure and one of the One-Step Changer figures, despite being succeeded by the "Night Ops" redeco in wave 4 and the "Night Strike" redeco in wave 5, the original yellow and black deco of the figure was also re-released in subsequent waves, in two different packaging variants as part of the "Mini-Con Weaponizers" and "Combiner Force" subline imprints, both of them released in 2017.

:The TakaraTomy version features extensive paint details for the figure, and features a different scannable Autobot insignia on his robot mode chest. Scanning this with the ''Transformers Chronicle'' mobile app unlocks the toy to the app's collection list.

*'''Sideswipe & Bumblebee''' (Crash Combiner, 2017)

:Part of the first wave of the ''Combiner Force'' [[Crash Combiner]]s subline, Bumblebee is a roughly Scout-class sized figure that changes from his futuristic car with a Combiner chest that doubles as his spoiler into a robot in three extremely simple steps. His individual robot mode only has limited articulation on his shoulders. He also has a little green arrow above the connector on the vehicle back indicating where to crash him to combine with other figures. A [[5 mm post|5 mm post]] hole on top of his vehicle mode can accommodate a compatible accessory or Weaponizer Minicon, though he cannot use it in his individual robot mode.

:Bumblebee comes packaged with Sideswipe and is intended to combine with him to form [[Beeside]]'s upper torso. Connecting them to each other will activate Bumblebee's automatic transformation, but Sideswipe must be converted manually. He can also combine with any other Crash Combiner figure to form a random Combiner. Due to how the pieces are molded, Beeside can flip out Bumblebee's arms as a <s>switchblade</s> longer sub-arm.

:Unlike the CG photos, his combiner head is missing the black paint applications.

:Released as part of the first wave of ''Robots in Disguise'' [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)#Activator Combiners|Activator Combiners]], this Bumblebee is a Deluxe-sized mold that converts from robot into a vehicle in just 4 steps, with his robot arms the only poseable part. Plugging an Activator Mini-Con, such as his pack-in partner [[Stuntwing]], onto his roof activates "Throttle Up" mode, popping out the side doors/cabins to reveal some mechanical details and teal streaks on it's rear section.

*'''Ultra Bee''' (Team Combiner, 2017)

:Released as part of the [[Ultra Bee]] set, Bumblebee transforms from [[Brick (term)|unposeable]] robot to vehicle, or into the upper torso of the gestalt. The combiner mode's head is stored inside his torso, deployed with a push of a spring-loaded button. The smaller head automatically flips down on the pop-out gestalt's head after the gimmick is activated. Amusingly, both of Bumblebee's heads can be deployed at the same time by flipping/pushing down ''both'' heads in place before activation. He also features a pseudo-autotransform feature: His combiner pegs flip out while transforming into torso mode (if the wheel panels are flipped open to make way). Due to his nature as an upper torso, he slightly towers Strongarm and Sideswipe.

:Each toy uses the same universal combination joint as the other Team Combiners and the [[Crash Combiner]]s, which can lead to some... ''interesting'' combinations, given that most robots form very specific body parts when combined. Mixing Crash Combiners with Team Combiners leads to some ''especially'' weird results.

:Secondary stock photos of the toy are slightly mistransformed, featuring the combiner head deployed while 'Bee is in his standalone robot mode.

: Part of the third wave of ''Transformers [[Hero Mashers]]'' basic Action Figures —and the first of the ''Robots in Disguise''-themed product— Bumblebee is a non-transforming action figure with ratchet-joints, about six inches tall. He has multiple peg-holes all over that can be used to mount any ''Hero Mashers'' accessory. Unlike most basic ''Hero Mashers'' figures, Bumblebee got two different weapon accessories rather than just one.

: He is designed with a removable head, forearms, thighs, and lower legs, all of which use the same clip-peg/hole joint. This means his pieces can be swapped around in any order, as well as swapped with any other ''Hero Mashers'' figure... which includes figures from [[Marvel Comics]], ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]'', and ''[[Jurassic Park|Jurassic World]]'', meaning you can make some pretty freaky combinations.

:The third wave of Hero Mashers was initially skipped in the US, seeing release mostly in European and Australian markets. It later filtered into the US through closeout chains Marshall's and TJ Maxx during the holiday season of 2015.

:*''Hasbro ID number'': '''+01'''
:*''Accessories'': [[Plasma cannon]], [[energon battle pistol]], sword, "Defend Iacon" backdrop
{{toydesigner|[[Sam Smith]] (Hasbro), [[Shuhei Umezu]] (TakaraTomy)}}<ref>[https://www.instagram.com/p/CphCaeWsAD8/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y%3D Design notes on Gamer Edition Bumblebee] from [[Hasbro]] designers [[Sam Smith]] on Instagram</ref>
:Released as the first figure in the ''Gamer Edition'' portion of the [[Studio Series]] line, Bumblebee is based on his appearance in ''War for Cybertron'', transforming into a "Cybertronian courier" in 21 steps. He includes the [[energon battle pistol]], his default in-game weapon, the [[plasma cannon]], a weapon he uses in cutscenes (based on how it appears in the opening cinematic), and his sword from his melee attack. Bumblebee, like all ''Studio Series War for Cybertron'' toys, has a removable right lower arm, which can be swapped out for their blasters to emulate the way characters' arms in-game transformed into their weapons. These accessories can also store on his back or his vehicle mode.

:While there is ''technically'' an ankle tilt, it swings outwards for transformation. To use the ankles, you must rotate the waist 180 degrees, then turn both legs 180 degrees so the ankles are now facing inwards. This, however, makes the hollow back of the crotch piece face forward.

:Hasbro stock photography has Bumblebee mistransformed in robot mode; his car mode's front fenders are meant to fold into his chest sideways, but are left unfolded in photos.

:This mold was [[retool]]ed into ''Studio Series'' Gamer Edition [[Cliffjumper (WFC)|Cliffjumper]].

===Arms Up Modes===
In the Japanese ''Prime'' toyline, Bumblebee has several powered-up modes when given various [[Arms Micron]]s in certain configurations:

[[File:DarknessRising4 CybSat-BeeBanBan.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|"[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gahqavv9aUQ You've got to aim for the kneecaps and then kick her head off.]"]]

*'''Striker Mode''' (ストライカーモード ''Sutoraikā Mōdo'')
**''Arms Microns'': B.B., C.L., O.P., R.A.
:The Arms Up form shown on Bumblebee's box-back photo. In this form, B.B. is mounted on his left arm, with [[R.A.]] on his right, while [[C.L. (Prime)|C.L.]] and [[O.P.]] take positions on Bee's backpack (which has been flipped up to allow the gun-Microns to fire sorta-forward).

*'''Mecha Uchi Ban Ban Mode''' (メチャウチバンバンモード ''Mecha Uchi Ban Ban Mōdo'')
**''Arms Microns'': B.B., O.P., R.A.
:Roughly translated as "Extreme Firefight Bang Bang Mode", this "Anti-Terrorcon" Mode turns the three Microns into a gun emplacement that isn't actually attached to Bee, just one he stands behind. Introduced in the "[[From the Cybertron Satellite, Transformers Division|Cybertron Satellite]]" segment from "[[Darkness Rising, Part 4|Infiltration Transformation! Battleship Nemesis]]".

*'''Mecha Uchi Kidō Type''' (メチャウチ機動タイプ ''Mecha Uchi Kidō Taipu'')
**''Arms Microns'': B.B., C.L.
: Roughly translated as "Extreme Firefight Agile Type", this other "Anti-Terrorcon" attack mode is... just Bee with B.B. on one arm and C.L. on the other. ''Exciting.'' But it was highlighted and named in the same episode as the Mecha Uchi Ban Ban Mode, so, well, for completism's sake....

*'''Infection Mode''' (インフェックションモード ''Infuekkushon Mōdo'')
**''Arms Microns'': B.B., Terrorcon Zori
: Terrorcon Bumblebee's Arms Up mode is simply him using [[Zori (Prime)#Toys|Terrorcon Zori]] in his right hand, and B.B. in his left. Wooo.

*'''Booster Mode''' (ブースターモード ''Būsutā Mōdo'')
**''Arms Microns'': B.B., B.H., C.L., Gora, Gura, O.P., Zori
: Booster Mode Bumblebee sees him attach [[B.H.]] and C.L. to his shoulders and Zori and [[Gura]] to his back, with Zori forming a kind of scorpion tail terminating in O.P.'s gun mode. He wields a handheld cannon weapon made up of B.B. and [[Gora]]. Introduced in the "Cybertron Satellite" segment from "[[Orion Pax, Part 2|Hopeful Transformation! Aim for Planet Cybertron]]".

:''Reflector is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].''
[[File:ReflectorG1.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|It's a Kodak moment. Top down: Viewfinder, Spyglass, Spectro]]
'''Reflector''' (aka '''Refraktor''') likes to watch. He lives (they live?) to observe anything and everything, from scenery, to wildlife, to architecture. But above all else, Reflector likes to watch his (their?) comrades, learn their dark secrets, and profit from them. Reflector is also very impressed with his (their?) own abilities both in the fields of observation and blackmail.

Reflector is generally composed of three separate robots—[[Spectro]], [[Spyglass]], and [[Viewfinder]]—who combine into the one single-lens-reflex camera [[alternate mode|altmode]] that is Reflector. He is (they are?) also the leader (leaders?) of the [[Photon (subgroup)|Photons]].

[[File:MTME1 Reflector camera.jpg|left|thumb|[[Scale]] in a camera-con? Don't be silly.]]
Reflector was among the warriors who accompanied [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]] aboard the Decepticons' [[Nemesis (G1)|space cruiser]] during its assault on the [[Autobot]]s' [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] four million years ago. When the Ark crashed on [[Earth]], Reflector was entombed in stasis with the other Transformers and awoke with the other Decepticons in [[1984]]. Withdrawing from the Ark, the Decepticons immediately set about constructing a temporary base for themselves, and Reflector and [[Thundercracker (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Thundercracker]] were assigned to patrol the perimeter. As they surveyed the desert landscape, Reflector expressed his disbelief that the Autobots had also survived the crash. Thundercracker then spotted something off in the distance, and Reflector transformed to camera mode so that Thundercracker could use him to zoom in on the mystery object. Reflector dispensed a Polaroid photograph of the truck that had caught their attention, and Thundercracker reported the intruder to Megatron as a possible Autobot (which it wasn't). {{storylink|More than Meets the Eye, Part 1}}

[[File:GenericDecepticons MTMTE.jpg|upright=1.6|thumb|Anything you need reflected? I (we?) gotcha covered.]]
Reflector later battled the Autobot forces on an offshore oil rig, {{storylink|More than Meets the Eye, Part 1}} and joined in the Decepticons' attack on [[Sherman Dam]]. {{storylink|More than Meets the Eye, Part 2}} Reflector participated in the battle royale with the Autobots shortly before the Decepticons' failed attempt at returning to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] aboard a new space cruiser. {{storylink|More than Meets the Eye, Part 3}} Numerous [[Photon (subgroup)|robots sharing Reflector's design]], who existed in addition to the core trio, also took part in these activities. {{storylink|More than Meets the Eye, Part 2}}

While the Decepticons were in the midst of testing their new intergalactic "[[space bridge]]" transport system, Reflector took part in two battles with the Autobots when the heroic robots tried to interfere with the test run. The battle ended badly when Megatron was sucked through the space bridge and back to Cybertron, {{storylink|Transport to Oblivion (episode)|Transport to Oblivion}} but Reflector seemed unfazed by the apparent loss of his leader, as he went on to carry out orders that had previously been given to him and began staking out the laboratory of [[antimatter]] researcher [[Alcazar|Doctor Alcazar]]. Using his photographic abilities to obtain the entry code for the laboratory's security system in secret, Reflector concluded his stakeout just as Megatron returned to Earth, and he quickly reported his findings to the Decepticon leader. Reflector subsequently followed Megatron back to the lab and entered the entry code for him, allowing the villains to enter the complex stealthily. Reflector was no doubt rather cheesed off to learn that his spying had been for naught when it turned out that Alcazar had gotten rid of the antimatter formula by transmitting it to [[Chip Chase]]. When the Decepticons acquired the formula from Chip, Reflector helped charge [[energon cube]]s with the antimatter they created, and then participated in the subsequent battle with the Autobots, which ended when the antimatter cubes Megatron was using to power himself threatened to overload. {{storylink|Roll for It}}

[[File:ReflectorCartoon1.jpg|left|thumb|I (we?) see EVERYTHING!]]
Reflector later worked with [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Starscream]] and [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]] on another attempt to transport energon cubes to Cybertron via the space bridge. A group of Autobots soon arrived to investigate the Decepticon goings-on, but Reflector was quick to act and dazzled them with a blinding flash from his central lens. The Autobots soon got themselves together, though, and Reflector was dispatched when his duplicates were hurled into one another, causing them to recombine into one. Reflector's component selves later took part in a Decepticon attack on [[Ark (G1)|Autobot Headquarters]] and were fired upon by [[Spike Witwicky (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Spike Witwicky]], but the three robots were confident that the Earth germ couldn't hit all of them at once. {{storylink|Divide and Conquer}}

[[File:FireintheSky Reflector formation.jpg|thumb|Presenting... the Cirque du So-lame! ok I'll show myself out.]]
Reflector did most of the grunt work when the Decepticons sought to drain the energy of the [[Earth's core]] via a crystal shaft in the Arctic, operating machinery and gathering energon cubes. When their digging unearthed the frozen Autobot [[Jetfire (G1)|Skyfire]], Reflector tried attacking the towering robot by running at him in a sort of cheerleader-pyramid formation, only to be—unsurprisingly—knocked to the ground with a swipe of Skyfire's arm. {{storylink|Fire in the Sky}}

Along with [[Soundwave (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Soundwave]] and [[Laserbeak (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Laserbeak]], Reflector gathered valuable intelligence on the [[Great Falls]] hydroelectric power station, and he took part in the attack that their information-gathering helped facilitate. {{storylink|S.O.S. Dinobots}} Soon after, Reflector went with the other Decepticons on a mission to Peru in another attempt to seize the power of the Earth's core. {{storylink|Fire on the Mountain (episode)|Fire on the Mountain}} Later still, Reflector was part of the Decepticon team who tried harnessing energy from an unstable meteorite. {{storylink|War of the Dinobots}}

When the Decepticons used their space bridge to pull Cybertron itself into Earth's orbit in order to reap the energy released by the natural disasters that would result, Reflector was at Megatron's side as the Decepticon leader watched the construction of a hydroelectric energy collector. When an unexpectedly strong tidal wave demolished the structure, Megatron and Reflector escaped aboard a transport ship, though Reflector was given pause to wonder on the fate of the Decepticons' human ally, [[Doctor Arkeville]]. {{storylink|The Ultimate Doom, Part 3}}

[[File:SOSDinobots Great Falls.jpg|left|thumb|200px]]

After taking part in another energy-raiding attempt with the help of new arrivals the [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticons]], {{storylink|A Plague of Insecticons}} Reflector joined the other Decepticons in relinquishing his [[power chip rectifier]] to a machine that would transfer all of the Decepticons' special abilities to Megatron, enabling him to best [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] easily in a one-on-one duel. During the combat, Megatron employed Reflector's power to generate a brilliant flash of light to blind Optimus Prime. When Megatron's deception was exposed, Reflector and the other Decepticons were sent tumbling into a river of lava by the enraged Autobots. {{storylink|Heavy Metal War}}

Learning that the Autobots had transferred Spike's mind into a robot body, Megatron had Reflector watch over Autobot Headquarters, and his spying soon bore fruit when the unstable "Autobot Spike" came bursting through a wall and flew off. Reflector followed and summoned the other Decepticons to his position. Megatron proceeded to try and turn Spike against the Autobots, but the attempt ultimately ended in failure. {{storylink|Autobot Spike}}

Reflector joined in the Decepticons' attempt to conquer [[New York City]], {{storylink|City of Steel (episode)|City of Steel}} followed Megatron in an attempt to hijack a rocket, {{storylink|Attack of the Autobots (episode)|Attack of the Autobots}} and clashed with the Insecticons over stolen [[electro-cell]]s. {{storylink|Traitor (episode)|Traitor}} A little later, he helped battle the Autobots for control of [[korlonium crystal]]s. {{storylink|A Prime Problem}} After this, having being absent for a prolonged period, Reflector reappeared as part of a group of Decepticons on the rampage in [[United Kingdom|Great Britain]], {{storylink|A Decepticon Raider in King Arthur's Court (episode)|A Decepticon Raider in King Arthur's Court}} and soon after, he was among the Decepticons who coated themselves with [[electrum]] to cause havoc. {{storylink|The Golden Lagoon (episode)|The Golden Lagoon}} Reflector later battled the mutinous Starscream and his [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]]. {{storylink|Starscream's Brigade}}

Reflector was present at the [[Battle of Autobot City]] and the coronation of Starscream soon afterward. {{storylink|The Transformers: The Movie}}
{{note|Reflector’s involvement in these events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the comic mini-series ''[[Transformers: The Animated Movie]]''.}}

====Japanese cartoon continuity====

Reflector was amongst the Decepticons who attacked New York City early in their conflict with the Autobots on Earth. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (story page)#Part 1|Broadcasting on TV! Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers}}

=====''The Battle of the Star Gate''=====
The Reflector trio were amongst the Decepticons who attacked the ''[[Trigger]]'' as it neared completion. They took it over easily, thanks in part to the human collaborator, [[Trov]]. One human, [[Makoto (Star Gate)|Makoto]], had been overlooked by the Decepticons however, and managed to pin down Reflector and the rest of the group under Megatron's command in the ''Trigger''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s rail room with a powerful electromagnetic field. Reflector was almost sent hurdling to the farthest side of the galaxy by the ''Trigger'', but a blast from Megatron's fusion cannon disabled the portal. Then the Autobots showed up, and the two factions began their battle aboard the space station. The Decepticons lost the fight and fled. {{storylink|First Contact (Star Gate)|First Contact}}

In [[2050]], Reflector was one of the Decepticons supporting the [[Selector]] revolt at [[Neo Scramble City]]. {{storylink|Volcanicus comic 1}}

Super Robot Lifeform Transformers issue 3|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers #3}}

====Full Throttle Scramble Power!====
The Decepticons constructed a new weapon to pursue their energy-plundering campaign on Earth, the [[Omega Wave Cannon]]. Reflector and Shockwave were charged with manning the device's control as other teams of the Decepticons would go out and attack power plants to retrieve the energy stored within them. The whole plot was foiled when [[Jenny (G1)|Jenny]], a captive of the Decepticons, managed to reprogram Starscream into blowing up the Omega Wave Cannon's controls. Reflector was sent tumbling away from his post. He then followed Megatron into battle, but was forced to flee along with the rest of the Decepticons when a massive amount of Autobot reinforcements joined the fray. {{storylink|Full Throttle Scramble Power!}}

====''Wings Universe''====
{{Wingsnote}}
The Reflector trio were "one" of fourteen [[Decepticon Warlord|Warlords]] that arose championing the Decepticon cause. His / their legion, the [[Photon (subgroup)|Photons]], were an endless series of identical Cybertronians apparently patterned after their leader. As the [[Elite Guard|Autobot Elite Guard]] began picking off the Decepticon Warlords one at a time, Reflector attended the War Councils with the other Decepticon leaders to discuss strategy. It was Reflector who suggested they pool secrets and information for the greater good of the Decepticon cause. It was also Reflector who assimilated his / their Photons into the ranks of [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]]'s Decepticons after the Warlords gave up their secrets to each other. This merger allowed him / them to avoid certain destruction when [[Deathsaurus (G1)|Deathsaurus]] sent an unwitting suicide bomber to the next council meeting, wiping out all the remaining Warlords besides Megatron. {{storylink|A Team Effort}}

As [[Devastator (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Devastator]] breached [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]]'s walls, Reflector was there with the rest of Megatron's forces. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 5}}

Using the human power known as "imagination," S.T.A.R.S. recruits could perceive what it was like to be Reflector. {{storylink|You Have Been Chosen.}}

Before the construction of Autobot City on Earth, Optimus led a convoy of Autobots to find the ideal location for their new base's construction. Reflector was (maybe) amongst the Decepticons who lay in wait to ambush Optimus and the Autobots. The battle that ensued later came to be known as "[[Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction (G1)|Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction]]." {{storylink|Rodimus Prime remembers the Transformers greatest battle on Earth.}}

Evidently, the battle went in the Decepticons' favour, as Optimus was forced to send some of his troops away to fetch reinforcements. {{storylink|Transformers Combat Data}} Later, Reflector discovered that the same squad of Autobots was out scouting for new energy source. {{storylink|The Autobots Are Under Attack!}}

{{note|Reflector is never seen in any of the illustrations depicting "Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction," but is implied to be involved as all other toys advertised in the flyer are participants in the battle.}}

''Reflector was part of Megatron's crew, active on Earth in the 1980s before the ''[[Ark II]]'' incident. When Megatron was snatched up by the Keepers, not all Decepticons fell into line under Starscream's maniacal command. [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]] and the three Reflector robots chose to make a stand against Starscream's leadership at [[Hoover Dam]], outside the Decepticon's new base in [[Las Vegas]]. Spyglass and Skywarp drew [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]]'s electronic attention, prompting Starscream and his communications officer to make an appearance at the Dam. As Skywarp rejected Starscream's rule, the other Reflector robots leapt out of hiding to attack the usurper. The battle quickly turned against Skywarp and Reflector, though, as Soundwave's sonic attack ripped Spectro apart, sending him over the edge of the dam and into stasis lock. Once Skywarp was disabled as well, Spyglass and Viewfinder wisely chose to abdicate to Starscream. {{storylink|Transformers: Hardwired|Hardwired}}''

''The surviving two Reflector parts remained under Starscream's command only as long as necessary, and left Las Vegas with Megatron's splinter faction of Decepticons soon after their former leader returned to Earth. {{storylink|Transformers: Annihilation|Annihilation}} After the Decepticons reunited, Reflector was instrumental in several attempts at blackmail and media manipulation against the [[President of the United States]], first recording him whimpering helplessly in Megatron's massive hand during an attack on the White House, and later sending the media outlets footage of the U.S. Armed Forces attempting to assassinate Autobots AND Decepticons in the Nevada desert.''

''A "inferior copy" of'' {{storylink|Transformers: Fusion|Fusion}} Reflector remained on Cybertron and worked for [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]], monitoring the planet and its inhabitants for him from a central mainframe. {{storylink|Brothers' Burden}} They were destroyed by [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] when he broke ranks with Shockwave's command structure; using Soundwave's expertise, Starscream delayed footage of himself as he encroached on Shockwave's monitor womb, within which the Reflector trio were posted. They thus were unable to foresee Starscream sneaking up on them, and he blasted all three 'cons to death. {{storylink|Countdown to Extinction (issue)|Countdown to Extinction}}

The three Reflector components were among the Transformers who crashed on Earth millions of years in the past, and upon being discovered by humans, they were reprogrammed to serve the terrorist organization [[Cobra]]. The Autobot [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]] eventually restored everyone's original programming, and the angry Reflector trio broke into Cobra's control center to teach the fleshlings a thing or two about messing with their heads. {{storylink|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers issue 4|G.I.

When [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] arrived to halt their scheme, the three Reflectors attacked him, but were easily swatted aside. {{storylink|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers issue 5|G.I.

In a dark alternate future where the Decepticons had conquered Earth, three black Reflectors guarded human slaves imprisoned near a factory, but were killed by [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]], [[Tomax and Xamot]]. As this future was also full of multiple [[Sweep (G1)|Sweeps]], [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticon swarms]] and [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage packs]], it is possible these Reflectors were some sort of [[Cloning|clones]]. {{storylink|G.I.

Viewfinder was present for a Decepticon gathering on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], during which [[Serpentor|Serpent O.R.]] took control of the Decepticon army. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 3|The Art of War #3}} During a subsequent Decepticon assault on an Autobot peace ceremony, the Reflector trio were charged with delivering a message to Optimus Prime. After being carried to Prime in [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]]'s palm, Viewfinder used his chest lens to project a hologram of Serpent O.R., allowing the Decepticon leader to negotiate with Prime. Reflector came under attack by [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]] during the negotiation, but Viewfinder managed to continue the transmission despite being injured. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 4|The Art of War #4}}

===2005 IDW continuity===
Early in the war, the Reflector trio tried to stop an Autobot prison break in the [[Citadel]] only to be blown away by [[Springer (G1)|Springer]]. {{storylink|Rise}} Spectro and Spyglass were later seen aboard a Decepticon orbital outpost, terrified of walking down the same hallway as [[Sixshot (G1)|Sixshot]]. {{storylink|Spotlight: Sixshot}}

All three Reflector units (speaking entirely in unison), eventually joined [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Megatron]] on [[Earth]], and helped defeat the Autobots there. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 7|All Hail Megatron #7}} Following this victory, the Reflector trio help destroy [[New York City]] along with the other Decepticons. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 3|All Hail Megatron #3}} Spectro and Spyglass enjoyed "playing games" with the city's fleshy inhabitants, but were disappointed about how easily they came apart. Viewfinder preferred to brood by himself, while still echoing the other two's dialogue. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 8|All Hail Megatron #8}} Reflector stayed with Megatron when [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Starscream]] rebelled against his leader {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 10|All Hail Megatron #10}}, and fought back against the Autobots when they returned to Earth. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 11|All Hail Megatron #11}} The Decepticons were ultimately defeated {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 12|All Hail Megatron #12}} and Viewfinder and Spectro left the planet aboard [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]]. {{storylink|Uneasy Lies the Head}} Spyglass was left behind, however, and was still trying to get off the planet two years later. {{storylink|Things Fall Apart, Part 1: "New Arrivals, Old Encounters"|New Arrivals, Old Encounters}}

In the aftermath of the war with [[Galvatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Galvatron]] and [[D-Void]], the trio was instructed by [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Shockwave]] to undertake a special mission beginning with the theft of [[Turmoil]]'s time-sliding space cruiser. {{storylink|Night and the City}} Using the ship, they were supposed to locate [[LV-117]] and report its circumstances back to Shockwave, but were unprepared for the planet's erratic movement through time. Appearing out of nowhere right in front of them, LV-117 flung the Reflector trio over one hundred years into the past, depleting the ship's fuel supply and causing it to crash. {{storylink|Syndromica (2)}}

Viewfinder was killed in the crash when a large piece of the bridge's shattered canopy impaled through his chest. Spectro and Spyglass survived and eventually they located [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]], who had previously crashed on the same planet and had been building an escape vessel with a [[Varta|friendly alien]]. They managed to hijack the vessel shortly before it launched by threatening to kill Wheelie's friend, but the tiny Autobot removed the safety catch from his energon converter before disembarking, causing it to explode violently shortly after takeoff, killing the last two fragments of Reflector's being. {{storylink|Spotlight: Wheelie}}

After the apparent death of Viewfinder, Spectro and Spyglass sought out [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]] to stabilize them for individualized life. However, when Viewfinder's body was recovered from LV-117, it was discovered that exposure to [[Ore-1]] would allow his spark to be reignited, and thus Reflector was reborn from this process. {{storylink|#Combiner Wars|BotCon 2016 Reflector profile card}}

Three Reflector units hailing from an unknown [[universal stream]] were among the minions serving under [[Megatron (G1)#Alternity|Megatron]] during his complicated, cross-dimensional war with the Autobot [[Alternity (species)|Alternity]]. This incarnation of Reflector was a [[Pretender]], with each of his components able to disguise itself as an ordinary-sized human being.

Reflector was dispatched to [[Primax 905.0 Beta|universal stream 905.0 Beta]] to search for the source of a new dimensional flux of previously unheard type. In their Pretender guises, the trio tracked the source of the disruption to the [[Otsuka Museum of Art]], and found that it was a strange tablet. Reflector was about to make off with the tablet when he was accosted by [[Bumblebee (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity#Alternity|Bumblebee]] and [[Arcee (Energon)|Elita Seven]], and his components promptly dropped their Pretender forms to battle the little Autobot. Unfortunately for Reflector, he was no match for the unearthly powers of an Alternity: Bumblebee snatched the tablet away, and with a snap of his fingers, reduced Reflector to a nearly two-dimensional state. From across the dimensions, Megatron saw his minions collapse like paper, and lashed out with his tesseractal swords, destroying the museum and the tablet, and wounding Bumblebee. By the time Bumblebee came to, Reflector was long gone. {{storylink|The World Is Flat!}}

Refraktor was a veteran of the [[War of the Threefold Spark]]. {{storylink|The Cracks Beneath Your Feet Part Two}} In the post-war era, Refraktor joined the Ascenticons and was one of the first four recruits for the [[Ascenticon Guard]]. {{storylink|The World In Your Eyes Part Three}} However, Refraktor led a secret double life: as one of [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]'s many operatives, he regularly reported highly sensitive intelligence regarding [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]'s increasingly volatile political movement back to the head of Cybertron's intelligence division. {{storylink|The Change In Your Nature Part Two}}

After [[Rubble]] had been murdered, Bumblebee petitioned to join the Ascenticon Guard, but neither Refraktor nor [[Flywheels|Skytread]] thought he was up to the task. When Skytread ran his mouth, Bumblebee punched him in the face, and Refraktor took a backhand before [[Elita One (G1)|Elita-1]] broke up the fighting. {{storylink|The Cracks Beneath Your Feet Part One}} When [[Barricade (IDW)|Barricade]], who'd been implicated in Rubble's murder, received asylum at [[Decepticon Headquarters (G1 Cybertron)|Ascenticon Headquarters]], Refraktor and the other members of the Ascenticon Guard took up defensive positions when [[Security Operations]] tried to intervene. {{storylink|The Cracks Beneath Your Feet Part Five}} After the Ascenticons got a rebrand, Refraktor accompanied Soundwave to a standoff in the [[Cybertronian Mountains]] where he met up with Starscream and brought him up to speed on everything that'd happen while he was away. Starscream angrily pointed out that he'd neglected to tell Starscream the most important revelation—Bumblebee, known associate of [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Orion Pax]], had joined the Ascenticon Guard. {{storylink|The Change In Your Nature Part Two}}

[[File:WarWorldHunt-Refraktor.jpg|thumb|left|200px]]

After the [[Tether]] fell and caused mass destruction in [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]], Refraktor went on patrol with the rest of the Ascenticon Guard as they helped out with search and rescue operations. {{storylink|Rise of the Decepticons: All Fall Down|All Fall Down}} Eventually, however, as tensions mounted, Megatron fast-tracked a coup and successfully overthrew the Senate entirely after rebranding him and his followers as "Decepticons". Beforehand, Refraktor privately alerted Starscream of the impending coup and warned him to lay low until the dust had settled. {{storylink|Rise of the Decepticons: We Have Deceived You|We Have Deceived You}} When the Autobots and their allies tried to rescue Orion Pax and Sentinel from Decepticon captivity, Refraktor and [[Crasher (G1)|Crasher]] were on sentry duty outside the captured Senate building when [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]] ran them over. {{storylink|War World: Prime}}

Refraktor was on patrol with [[Gutcruncher (G1)|Gutcruncher]] and [[Airwave (facility)|Airwave]] when they decided to harass [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]]'s clinic and intimidate the medics who worked there into surrendering any Autobot sympathizers. However, Ratchet was less compliant than they'd hoped and [[Hoist (G1)|Hoist]] eventually scared them into leaving when he threatened to turn a swarm of [[Diagnostic Drone|diagnostic drone]]s upon the three. {{storylink|Escape Part One}}

Refraktor also joined the Decepticon Guard in driving Security Operations away from one of their holding cells and freed some useful prisoners. During the operation, however, Refraktor cornered a member of Sec-Ops named [[Vibes]]. At Starscream's direction, he slipped Vibes a tip about [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]] and [[Titan (group)|Titan]][[spark]]s. Starscream had been forced to share some of his cards with Megatron and Starscream, so he wanted Optimus Prime to have some of the same intelligence to keep himself potentially useful. While the injured Starscream underwent repairs, Refraktor reported on his successful mission, but warned Starscream that his loyalty would only stretch so far, especially as Megatron seemed to be winning. Starscream warned Refraktor not to get too cocky and start thinking for himself at a time like this. {{storylink|War World: Hunt}}

Incidentally, Refraktor was targeted by [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]] as a potential source of information as well. The enterprising casino owner tagged Refraktor as a favored patron, one who might get more talkative after some specially-refined energon.

When the ''Ark'' rebooted in 1984, its repair beams first struck Skywarp, who proceeded to revive the Decepticon army. After the stasis-locked Autobots had been destroyed, the Decepticons attacked Earth. The humans responded by founding [[Skywatch]] which itself created [[Skynet]] and an army of [[T-800]] Terminator robots. Refraktor perished in the Skynet-Decepticon conflict, {{storylink|Enemy of My Enemy Part Two}} and by the year [[2029]] one of his bodies was part of a mass grave outside [[Los Angeles]]. {{storylink|Enemy of My Enemy Part One}}

To avert the Decepticon threat, a lone T-800 travelled back to 1984 to try and destroy them before they conquered the world. The time traveller's intervention allowed the Autobots to be reactivated prompting the Decepticons to retreat from the ''Ark''. Conducting a scouting mission with the [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticons]], Refraktor reported to Megatron on the energy production capabilities of a nearby [[Cyberdyne Systems]] facility, taking part in the subsequent attack on it. {{storylink|Enemy of My Enemy Part Two}} Once the facility had been conquered, Refraktor began filling up [[energon cube]]s before the Autobots arrived. Confident that he could crush the T-800 that they'd allied with, Refraktor was unprepared for the android throwing a bomb directly on his face and detonating it, killing him instantly. {{storylink|Enemy of My Enemy Part Three}}

Starscream then airlifted him into battle against the Autobots at the Farmingham Dam, dropping into battle guns blazing and with an acronym-based quip at the ready.

Spyglass, Spectro, and Viewfinder were selected to spy on and gather intelligence on the [[Nova Power Core|Nova Core]]. They sneaked through the base's security and found the Nova Core. Unfortunately, by their own incompetence and curiosity they removed the device with the power plant still running. As soon as the reactor was set off, Reflector fled the scene.
{{storylink| Transformers: Earth Wars/Events|Project Supernova}}

Reflector was out of contact while the two snipers [[Wildrider (G1)|Brake-Neck]] and [[Smokescreen (G1)|Smokescreen]] fought it out. {{storylink|Transformers: Earth Wars|Bit of a Longshot}}

Viewfinder had absorbed most of the damage from the blast, and the other two set up a shielding unit to protect them while they complete repairs. Megatron reminded them of their mission, and Brake-Neck reminded them of Smokescreen. They naively thought they could be three less targets by transforming into camera mode. {{storylink|Transformers: Earth Wars|Battle Hardened}}

Reflector soon informed Megatron they were back to being 100% operational and going to make a move to recover the Nova Core. As the battle was taking place, they were spotted by Smokescreen. Reflector asked Brake-Neck fpr cover fire, but he refused and told Spyglass it was stupid of them to be in an open field in the first place. Then Viewfinder was hit by a sniper bullet as they ran and cranked up their shields.

As [[First Aid (G1)#Transformers: Earth Wars|First Aid]] headed to an extraction site where his Medi-bots would meet him, Brake-Neck was compromised by Smokescreen, and Reflector stole the Core and tried to take off with it. First Aid intervened, and... unexpectedly, Spectro dropped the Nova Core into water, of all things. The Core went critical, and First Aid convinced Reflector to help him shield the energy as the Nova Core went into meltdown. The Nova Core faded, and Viewfinder only asked that the Autobot not tell Megatron about what just happened. Then Viewfinder got hit by Brake-Neck's bullet, much to his irritation {{storylink| Transformers: Earth Wars/Events| Big Bang!}}

When Reflector came through the Spacebridge, Shockwave thought it was malfunctioning, seeing as it had multiple lifeforms coming through at once. After they made their entrance, Starscream warned Shockwave about their meddlesome nature, to which Shockwave replied that the four of them would get along well together.

While Swindle was having a sale with Luca, Reflector eavesdropped on the two, and learnt Luca had a "plan" for Starscream involving a box. Naturally, Reflector went to tattle on Starscream about the ploy. Starscream destroyed the box, much to Swindle's chagrin. Apparently it wasn't a trap, but in fact a gift for Starscream's Inception Day! - Cybertron-21, a high-fidelity holographic battlefield simulator. Starscream was shocked he had just destroyed a game (in mint condition). Reflector thought that it was a bad call to have done that, and they decide to go back to blackmailing people. {{storylink|Transformers: Earth Wars}}

:Reflector is composed of three distinct robots that combine to form a camera that most closely resembles a 1969 Ricoh 126C-Flex TLS: [[Viewfinder#Toys|Viewfinder]] as the central component with the lens, [[Spectro#Toys|Spectro]] as the right-side component with the shutter button, and [[Spyglass#Toys|Spyglass]] as the left-side component with the flashcube. It actually has play functions that simulate an actual camera: the viewfinder actually works (though one needs to stand about 8' back to see anything clearly), and the shutter button clicks when pressed in.

[[File:G1_Reflector_Offer.jpg|upright=1.67|thumb|Reflector Offer]]:Reflector was first sold in Japan in 1985 as an ordinary retail item. While [[Hasbro]] originally planned him for release in 1984 (thus him appearing in the cartoon), they delayed selling him in the U.S. until 1986, and only then via mail-order. Reflector was first available via the [[The Autobots Have a Special Mission for:|direct-mail flyer promoting ''The Transformers: The Movie'']]''.'' (Amusingly, this came just as the character was being quietly and fully phased out of the fiction.) The toy would be a common offering in [[Pack-in material|pack-in flyers]] from then on, at a cost of $10 and two [[Robot Point]]s. Naturally, the Hasbro version has the flashcube missile launcher's spring removed, while the Takara version has it at regular missile-launching strength. Oddly, the Decepticon [[insignia]] decals on Spyglass and Spectro are inverted from the norm, being silver symbols with purple outlines, something not seen elsewhere in the first two years of G1 figures.

:''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' '''Refraktor''' (thanks, [[trademark]]!) is a single-packaged Deluxe figure based on [[Viewfinder]]'s robot design, although the figure includes a removable 'chest module' which allows one to recreate [[Spectro]] or [[Spyglass]] instead.<ref name=seibertron/> As standalone robots, each Refraktor bot on its own can transform into an "artillery hovercraft"<ref name=seibertron /> that might be ''generously'' interpreted as marginally reminiscent of the BotCon 2016 redecoes above. Purchasing three units and combining them allows the formation of the classic camera mode, looking vaguely like a modern digital reflex body. To this end, each Refraktor includes a blaster and a shield which form one-third of the camera tripod and lens, respectively, with the Viewfinder "chest module" connecting the tripod for stability. Though not suggested in the instructions, you can also pop the other two chest modules into the empty sockets on top of each of the camera's sides, simulating the aperture and shutter speed controls on a real camera. Unlike most ''Siege'' figures, the Refraktors lack battle damage. Unfortunately, this figure [[Miscolorings based on the Generation 1 cartoon|suffers from a citogenerated]] red wrist stripe which was not actually there in the original cartoon.

:Inputting the blacklight code "Reflector" into the Teletraan-1 page on Hasbro's website reveals a desktop wallpaper containing a preview of the Refraktor Reconnaissance Team, notably before the official reveal at [[San Diego Comic-Con]].

:Due to the need for three Refraktors to make a camera, Hasbro wholesalers allowed independent retailers to order entire cases composed solely of them, outside the normal waves and case assortments offered to big-box retailers. As of 2019 this is not unusual and most figures are available this way.

:This mold was later redecoed to make ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)#Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (2020-2022)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' [[Scrapface#Toys|Scrapface]], as well as retooled into ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#Comic Edition|Comic Edition]]'' [[Xaaron#Generations Comic Edition|Emirate Xaaron]].

Scrapface is molded almost entirely in shades of grey plastic with his splashes of colour being an extensive paint wash; this gives him the appearance of being covered in accumulated grime and battle scars.

:As with any version of this mold, Scrapface can also transform into one third of a camera, allowing buyers to combine three units into Reflector's classic camera mode ([[Shortpacking|good luck with getting three, though!]]). The shield becomes one third of a telephoto lens, while his blaster becomes one third of a tripod.

:The military insignia on Scrapface's box has him as a Ground Division Infantry Private, while his instructions place him in the Espionage unit like his Refraktor mold-mates.

Refraktor is scaled so it may be paired with its Deluxe and Voyager contemporaries, though the handle placement makes it basically impossible for toys without swivel wrists to "use" it correctly, and even those with swivel wrists might have a hard time getting it to face level.

:Unlike fellow accessory-bots [[Megatron (G1)/Generations toys#E33|Megatron]] and [[Soundwave (G1)#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Soundwave]], Refraktor is completely unpainted. Also, Refraktor is curiously based on the original ''[[Micro Change]]''-mold toy, rather than either ''Siege'' iteration ''or'' the original cartoon model, the latter slightly odd given the original-cartoon-centric theme of the accessory pack.

:An exclusive to [[TakaraTomy Mall]], ''[[Canon/Transformers]]'' Refraktor is a roughly Leader Class-sized figure that transforms into a fully licensed Canon EOS R5 digital camera. The toy is 80% the size of the genuine article and features a removable lens attachment, though it must be reattached to him before he can transform to robot mode since it forms his head and arms. The lens cap is removable and is used as a shield in robot mode. His included "Quantum Dial" accessory can be pegged onto his lens, just behind the front element. He also comes with a small version of his alternate mode from the original ''Transformers'' cartoon, which can split into three pieces, in homage to the original Reflector toy. As a bit of an easter egg and likely a nod to the original Reflector having three components, Refraktor has three very small "lenses" sculpted into his forehead, though they are almost entirely concealed by his helmet. The head must be unscrewed and the face removed (which can be quite difficult) to reveal them.

:Both his Quantum Dial and small camera accessory can be pegged into his palms. His hands feature a range of movement, with the thumb and index finger being articulated and the remaining fingers joined together.

==Notes==
[[File:PreReflector.jpg|upright=0.85|thumb|Say "Cheese" and die.]]
*Reflector was originally the "Camera Robo" from Takara's ''[[Micro Change]]'' sub-series of the ''[[Microman|New Microman]]'' line. The only noteworthy difference between the two releases, besides the whole missile-launcher-neuter-in-the-United-States thing, is that the ''Microman'' release has "MICROX" emblazoned on the center unit's decals instead of "REFLECTOR".
*Not so surprisingly, the Camera Robo was first designed as a single unit. Apparently, the primary designer of the final toy, and possibly this initial design, was mecha designer [[Shinji Aramaki]], who designed the robots for ''{{w|Megazone 23}}'' and ''{{w|Genesis Climber Mospeada}}''.
*Reflector's role early in the cartoon makes it seem likely his toy was originally planned for inclusion in the initial 1984 line, a theory supported by the inclusion of a Hasbro product code consistent with the other 1984 toys in [[Teletraan I]]'s files on the Decepticons in "[[Heavy Metal War]]". Why Hasbro decided not to release it so late in the game is unknown, as is the reason they later reversed that decision to make it a viable mail-away. In accordance with Hasbro's decision not to release the figure, the [[Production bible|series story bible]] specifically discouraged writers from use of the character after season one ended.<ref>[http://tfarchive.com/cartoons/bible/#043 Reflector's page in the series bible]</ref> Indeed, following "City of Steel", Reflector is never called for by an episode script again, and appears only in group shots of the Decepticons at the animators' discretion.
*At the script stage, Reflector was intended to be a singular robot who possessed the ability to split into three duplicates, identical save for the lens aperture in the chest of the robot who forms the center of their camera mode, who all act with the same mind and talk in unison, with the same voice. This ability was never shown on-screen, having apparently been consciously erased from the series: it was displayed in deleted scenes from "[[Divide and Conquer]]", "[[S.O.S. Dinobots]]", and "[[War of the Dinobots]]". However, "Divide and Conquer" ''did'' show the three robots ''re-combining'', as the three components collide with one another and disappear until only one is left. Reflector was usually just seen in his triplicate state most of the time, but on rare occasions, he would appear as a single robot. His character model was also [[:File:GenericDecepticons MTMTE.jpg|sometimes]] used for [[generic]] Decepticon troops.
*In the Japanese dub of ''The Transformers'' cartoon, and in true anime fashion, Reflector announces the name of his special attack every time he uses it: "Flash Beam!"
*Amusingly, the mailaway flyer for Reflector's original toy advertised it as coming with a "flashcube and ''laser'' sheet", presumably due to someone in marketing misreading the [[instructions]]' "flashcube and ''label'' sheet".

{{nav-G1}}

Originally, European countries got the same [[The Transformers (toyline)| ''The Transformers'']] toys [[Hasbro]] had previously released in the USA, although different countries got different toys (with a few getting regional manufacturers that'd in turn also produce a few occasional noticeable [[variant|variants]]). Initially, numerous sub-contracted companies were responsible for releasing the toys in the individual European countries (which involved [[multilingual packaging|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.

As the ''Transformers'' toyline faded in popularity across North America and Japan throughout the early 90s, the franchise conversely experienced a small parallel renaissance of sorts in Europe, with the region earning several unique figures during this time. After ''The Transformers'' toyline ended in the US, the line continued in Europe until it was renamed into ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)#|Generation 2]]'' in 1994, thus making Europe the only market where the toyline wasn't cancelled at any point.
{{picsneeded|GiG cars with ridiculous "bopper" missiles}}

==1984==
While ''The Transformers'' would not reach most of Europe until 1985, a number of the toys from the 1984 US line were also available in the UK the same year. Given that the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)#Marvel UK|Marvel UK comic]] launched in September '84 (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.

Little is known about the earliest toys released in the UK. Common consensus is that they came in English-only packaging virtually indistinguishable from the US packaging. Recounts of which toys were and weren't available in the UK vary depending on who you ask. This has not been helped by the passing of the years diminishing memory, toys missing one year showing up in a later year, [[Parallel_import|grey imports]] and non UK distributed toys being brought back from trips overseas. In general the pack in catalogue leaflets are considered a good guide but there are a few instances of toys being out in a particular year but not being shown on the catalogue leaflets. For 1984 the general consensus is that the catalogue leaflet is an accurate reflection on what was available, with five Autobot Cars not appearing till 1985. A surprising confirmed omission from the initial wave of 1984 toys is [[Megatron (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Megatron]], whose absence on the shelves was even noted in the letters page of the Marvel UK comic. Also of note is that the line's UK tag-line initially was "''Warrior'' Robots in Disguise", seen in the comic and on much of the early ancillary merchandise.

The assortment names used below are those seen in the leaflet which accompanied the 1984 range.

{{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.}}

==1985==
The ''Transformers'' toy line officially started in most European countries in 1985. It should be noted, though, that various European companies had already released licensed versions of [[TakaraTomy|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; Takara themselves released ''Diaclone'' in Finland). Some of the toys in those lines sported Hasbro-series changes, including color schemes and even Autobot symbols(!), as Takara was already shifting production of the toys from ''Diaclone'' to their own domestic release of ''Transformers''. But it wasn't until 1985 that ''Transformers'' toys were ''officially'' introduced to the various European markets under that name.

===United Kingdom===

All 1984 toys were still available in 1985, now with the addition of [[rubsign]]s. 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. Alongside with a variation of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Optimus Prime]] that sported red instead of blue feet, Megatron was manufactured by French company Ceji as part of a deal with Hasbro, and the red-footed version of Optimus Prime was also released by [[Milton Bradley]] in mainland Europe (see below).<ref name="redfoot1">[http://www.tf-1.com/articles/eurous_frame.php?art=redfoot "Red Footed Optimus Prime"] at TF-1.com</ref><ref name="mbjoustra">[http://20thcenturytoycollector.com/mb-transformers-part-4/ "The MB & Joustra Connection"] at 20th Century Toy Collector</ref>

Oddly, numerous toys were left out of the UK range, never to see official release: notably [[Swoop (G1)/toys#Toys|Swoop]], [[Shockwave (G1)/toys#Toys|Shockwave]] and [[Blaster (G1)/toys#Toys|Blaster]]. The [[Constructicon (G1)#Toys|Constructicon]]s were also missing; in the early 90s they got a semi-official import release, and a de-combiner'ed [[redeco]] release ([[The_Transformers_(European_toyline)#1992|see "1992" below]]). Some of the non-Takara sculpts were likely dropped due to licensing arrangements ([[Omega Supreme (G1)#Toys|Omega Supreme]], for example, was available as part of the competing Grandstand ''Convertors'' line around this time as "Omegatron"). Due to his absence from the 1985 Hasbro [[catalog]], [[Jetfire (G1)/toys#Toys|Jetfire]] has long been believed to have been held over until the 1986 range, but he was featured in the Autumn 1985 Argos catalog.<ref name="argos85">[http://issuu.com/retromash/docs/argos-no24-1985-autumn Fall 1985 Argos catalog] at Issuu.com.</ref>)

===Germany, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain===
<center>[[File:Milton_Bradley_logo.png|140px||link=Milton Bradley]] [[File:Joustra1.jpg|200px||link=Joustra]]</center>
{{main|Joustra}}

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 German, French, Dutch and Spanish text. Therefore, MB covered the markets where Joustra's ''Diaclone'' toys were previously available, with the addition of Spain. The first wave of MB-branded toys was a rather odd selection, a result of Joustra holding the rights to many of the remaining toys, among them Optimus Prime. As a consequence, Jetfire was initially marketed as Autobot leader. Following a deal between Hasbro Bradley and Joustra's struggling parent company Ceji, a large amount of unsold Joustra toys were ''literally'' repackaged and released as the second wave of MB ''Transformers''.<ref name="mbjoustra"/>

Special Note: the tech specs feature inconsistencies for the Dutch (Functie / Funktie) & Spanish (Función / Cometido) across the line. Usage appears to be figure consistent, meaning you will only see use of one or the other within the wave.

An odd one-off addition to the 1985 French Transformers offering was [[Horloge Robot]], a small robot that splits into 14 different vehicles and features a working watch on his chest, released by [[AVI France]] in collaboration with [[wikipedia:Canal+ (French TV channel)|Canal+]]. Weirdly enough, he is none other than a repackaging of a common bootleg of ''[[Diaclone]]'' [[Diaclone#Gats Blocker|Gats Blocker]], now released under the official ''Transformers'' brand... For some reason.

{{main|GiG}}
[[GiG]] ("Geegh", but sometimes misspelled "GiGi") originally released licensed ''Diaclone'' toys under the name "[[Trasformer]]", occasionally sporting color schemes only found on Hasbro's ''Transformers'' versions (very likely because Takara was shifting production of the toys from ''Diaclone'' to ''Transformers'' at the time). Whether it was pressure from Hasbro or a mere marketing decision, GiG eventually acquired an additional license from Hasbro and 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").<ref name="chicken">[http://tfsource.com/blog/the-chicken-or-the-gig-part-1/ "The Chicken or the Gig?", Part 1] and [http://tfsource.com/blog/the-chicken-or-the-gig-part-2/ Part 2] at TFSource</ref> In addition to the official ''Transformers'' logo, a small remainder of the old ''Trasformer'' logo would remain on the packaging until 1987.

Speaking of ''Trasformer'' remnants, the "Autorobot Cars" and the "Distructor Planes" all sported unique "safety" missiles with large rubber boppers on the end instead of the individual missiles the versions released everywhere else had.

The [[Mini-Vehicle|Autobot Minicars/Mini Vehicles]] were apparently never released by GiG. The Italian names for their characters come from the Italian dub of the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|animated series]].

==1986==
===United Kingdom===

1986 was the first year that the UK lost toys that had been available in previous years. 4 cars survived from the initial 1984 [[Autobot#Generation_1_.2F_Beast_Era|Autobot]] car assortment, none from the 1984 Autobot cars held over till 1985 in the UK and 6 of the 7 new 1985 cars: [[Skids_(G1)#Generation_1|Skids]] misses out on a second year of availability. 5 of the six original [[Mini-Vehicle|Minibots]] are gone, only [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys|Bumblebee]] survives. Gone are the [[Mini-Cassette|tape]] 2 packs, although they continue till 1988 in the US line, as are [[Soundwave (G1)/toys|Soundwave]] & [[Buzzsaw (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Buzzsaw]]].

The catalogue does not show [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]] & [[Megatron (G1)/toys|Megatron]] - In Issue 85 Transformers UK comic claimed they were still available in 1986. Issues 85 & 86 contain what purports to be a full listing of the 1986 line

The catalogue also does not show [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys|Rodimus Prime]] & [[Wreck-Gar (G1)|Wreck-Gar]]: they make a very late appearance on UK shelves towards the end of 1986 tying in with the release of Transformers The Movie.

Missing from the Hasbro UK releases are the [[Predacon_(G1)#toys|Predacons]] & [[Gnaw (G1)#toys|Gnaw]], [[Sky Lynx (G1)#Toys|Sky Lynx]], [[Trypticon (G1)#Toys|Trypticon]], who was seen "[[parallel_import|grey imported]]" at the time, and the Autobot [[Mini-Cassette|tapes]] & [[Ratbat (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Ratbat]] / [[Frenzy (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Frenzy]], who later had Chinese stock grey imports in the early 1990s.

Confirmed UK Hasbro releases from 1986 are:

===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 ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|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:

===Italy===

[[GiG]] was still doing their own thing at this point, with a bit of mix of Hasbro and Takara-style packaging. Notably, GiG's versions of the Aeriabolts, Protectobots, Stunticons and Combaticons came in boxes based on the Takara versions (including prominent "C" and "D" numbers and "Takara" instead of "Hasbro" logos), just like the previous year's Constructicons. 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.

Known Italian releases of 1986 toys are:

===Greece===
[[File:ElGreco-Logo.png|center|125px|link=El Greco]]
{{main|El Greco}}

[[El Greco]] manufactured and released a small number of ''Transformers'' toys to the Greek market, with the only known El Greco releases this year being seven Autobot Mini-Vehicles. These are mostly identical to their international versions safe for a few minor coloration differences, with the used plastics generally being a bit brighter or darker than their Hasbro and Joustra equivalents. The cards the toys were available on were based on the Hasbro cards but fully translated to Greek (including the character names) and sported Hasbro logos in addition to the "El Greco" logo.

It's not entirely clear when exactly the following toys were first available in Greece; however, they couldn't have been released before 1986, since they depict the "[[Decipher the Decepticon]]" poster artwork on the back of their cards.

==1987==
===United Kingdom===
In the UK in 1987 the line lost all the pre 1986 toys. Most of the new toys for 1986 survive apart from the [[Mini-Vehicle|Minibot]] & [[Battlecharger]] assortments. As per the [[1987#US|main US line]] the cars & planes introduced in 1986 received a [[Targetmaster_(technology)|Targetmaster]] upgrade

[[Fortress_Maximus_(G1)#Generation_1|Fortress Maximius]] was not offered for sale through Hasbro UK but a number were given away as colouring competition prizes: a toy promoting this was on display in Hamley's in Regents Street, London, well into the 1990s.

Also missing in the UK were the new [[Decepticon#Generation_1_continuity_family|Decepticon]] [[Mini-Cassette|tapes]], both factions' [[Clone_(subgroup)|Clones]], [[Punch_(G1)#Toys|Doublespy Punch/Countepunch]], [[Sixshot_(G1)|Sixshot]] and [[Monsterbot_(G1)|the Monsterbots]]. Sixshot, the Decepticon Clones and Punch/Counterpunch would later be sold in the UK as Chinese Grey Imports in the early 1990s as would the standard size Autobot & Decepticon [[Headmaster_(technology)|Headmasters]].

===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:

===Italy===

[[GiG]] continued to have their own slightly-different take on ''Transformers'', mainly in packaging; the "Racerbots" (Throttlebots), "Tecnobots" and "Terrorbots" (it should be obvious) came in Takara-styled boxes complete with Japanese ID numbers. "Tundertron" (Abominus) was available as a giftset even though Hasbro hadn't released the toys in that form in the USA; the box layout was again based very closely on the standard Hasbro combiner giftsets at that time, but lacking the Hasbro logo, and sporting the toys' Takara ID numbers. The "Tecnobot" and "Terrorbot" advertisement flyers depict Scattershot and Hun-Gurrr erroneously wearing their respective combiner heads in their uncombined robot modes. The Monsterbots' boxes were based on the Hasbro versions, but sported "Takara" instead of "Hasbro" logos and Takara ID numbers.

==1988==
===United Kingdom===
In 1988 all the previously available toys were eliminated from the catalogue, but there are hints, in the Argos catalogue and elsewhere, that some may have continued to be distributed. There is some debate as to if the [[Triggerbot|Triggerbots]] & [[Triggercon|Triggercons]] were available in the UK in 1988: they are not shown on the catalogue.

As in previous years, the new US released [[Mini-Cassette|tapes]] were not offered in the UK. The UK also missed out on the "second wave" US [[Pretender#Toys|Pretenders]]: [[Autobot#Generation_1_.2F_Beast_Era|Autobots]] [[Groundbreaker#Toys|Groundbreaker]], [[Sky High (Pretender)#Toys|Sky High]] and [[Splashdown#Toys|Splashdown]], and [[Decepticon#Generation_1_continuity_family|Decepticons]] [[Bugly (G1)#Toys|Bugly]], [[Finback#Toys|Finback]] & [[Iguanus (G1)#Toys|Iguanus]].

The [[Pretender Vehicle|Pretender Vehicles]] were a Woolworths exclusive in 1988 before becoming more generally available in 1989.

Towards the end of the year, the [[Micromaster#Toys|Micromaster]] [[Off Road Patrol|Off Road]], [[Race Car Patrol|Race Car]] and [[Air Strike Patrol|Air Strike]] patrols were available in the UK in their "Micro Transformer" packaging.

===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 (all of the toys on this list have been found in both English stickered packaging and French/Dutch packaging):

===Italy===

Starting with the Pretenders, [[GiG]] finally dropped the small remainder of the old ''Trasformer'' logo from their packaging. The most interesting releases this year are the "Grandi Set Transformers" (also called "Superset Transformers" in the 1988 Christmas catalog), re-releases of the prior Combiner giftsets with a pack of five random "Exogini Transformers" ([[Decoy]]s) as a freebie.

Known Italian releases from 1988 are:

==1989==

===United Kingdom===

For the first time the UK received all of [[1989#U.S.|this year's new mainline western Transformers the same year they were released in the USA]]. Unfortunately this was also the first year the US had store exclusives, the [[Kmart|Kmart]] [[Legends_(G1)|Legends]] which the UK misses out on.

The [[Pretender_Monsters#toys|Pretender Monsters]] & [[Countdown (G1)|Countdown]] were Woolworths exclusives in 1989, with Countdown being more generally available the following year

Not shown on the pack in catalogue leaflet is [[The_Transformers_(European_toyline)#United_Kingdom_4|1988's]] [[Powermaster]] [[Optimus_Prime_(G1)/toys#PMOP|Optimus Prime]]. There is very strong evidence that this continues to be produced at least through 1989 with appearances in Argos catalogues into 1990 and boxed examples being found with the 1989 catalogue leaflet within.

===France, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Spain===

In 1989, all releases received French names, but not Dutch names. 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.

Confirmed releases include:

===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==
===Main Transformers Toyline===
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 releases, re-releases and exclusives in a pattern similar (if not exactly the same) to that of the European market; this would continue at least as far as ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]''.

Presumably, Germany got the UK versions of the 1990 [[Action Master]]s 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 include:

==="Classics" (Europe & Australasia)===

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, under the name "[[Classics (Europe)|Classics]]". Germany got the "Classics" toys in English packaging. Unlike the English and French/Dutch versions, the Italian and Spanish "Classics" don't actually say "Classic" anywhere on the packaging. The toys themselves are functionally identical to their original releases, complete with [[rubsign]]s. (Some toys released this year were altered the following year, but we'll talk about the details of that then.)

''Why'' this line happened is currently unknown, but there are several possibilities. It is known that the ''Transformers'' line was only ''just'' starting up in China (thanks to some legal shenanigans), and it appears the "Classics" toys were produced in the same Chinese factories, so the molds suddenly being available for production presented possibilities. It is unknown if Hasbro had originally intended for the toys to be released in the US market as well as in Europe, Australia and New Zealand, but the line's cancellation in the US killed that.

==1991==
===Main Transformers Toyline===
Although ''Transformers'' had come to a stop in the US, Hasbro continued releasing new toys to the European and Australasian markets. Following directly on from 1990's lineup was a number of new Action Masters, including an additional assortment of standard figures, figures with transforming exo-suit armour, and the infamously-paradoxical [[Action Master Elite]]s who could ''themselves'' transform. Again, Action Masters were available in English packaging in Germany.

The "Classic" range of older toys was also expanded with new and updated assortments, and was further complemented by a small quantity of toys from moulds previously exclusive to Japan—while these releases did not sport the "Classic" branding and had their own distinct box-back mural, they were released in the same style of gold packaging.

Four non Action Master toys were issued in the mainline, the Autobot [[Motorvator|Motorvators]], repaints of the Japanese Takara [[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)#1989 (Victory)|Victory]] era [[Brainmaster#Toys|Brainmaster cars]], and their Decepticon foe, [[Overlord (G1)|Overlord]] who originated in the Japanese Takara [[Fight!_Super_Robot_Lifeform_Transformers_(toyline)#1988_.28Super-God_Masterforce.29|Masterforce]] toyline and was was not released in the west in 1988 with the other [[Powermaster]] toys. In the UK Overlord was another exclusive for Woolworths.

===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. As the rubsigns were the ''only'' faction symbols on the Throttlebots, they were replaced with paper Autobot symbol stickers.

==1992==

[[File:G1Stalker toy.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.44|Predator [[Stalker (G1)#Toys|Stalker]] (with [[Snare#Toys|Snare]] attached in the lower-right)]]
'92 is when the European ''Transformers'' line really began to kick into high gear, even if the amount of product was a little on the light side. Hasbro produced new toys exclusively designed for the European market (though some did get imported to Japan), which had a far more cohesive design aesthetic than... well, the line ever had in its past. The Autobots trended towards brighter colors and generally had more "human" faces, and each one used bright-magenta fluorescent translucent plastic for vehicle-mode windscreens and a new innovation in the line, [[light-piping|light-piped]] eyes which appear to "glow" when light shines through them from behind. The Decepticons trended towards darker, cooler colors, their faces much more "robotic" (usually with facemasks and visor-eyes), and using bright-green translucent plastic for their canopies/optics. Both sides also included spring-loaded missile launchers, a [[gimmick]] that had been all but abandoned in Hasbro's markets due to more stringent [[for safety reasons|safety regulations for projectiles]] in the US.

Rounding out the year's product are a strange pair of re-released combiner teams ''lacking'' their combining ability... or individual names.

After this year, Hasbro decided European sales were good enough to [[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|try to revive ''Transformers'' in the US again]].<ref>[http://www.tfarchive.com/fandom/interviews/george_dunsay/george_dunsay_interview.php George Dunsay interview at TFArchive]: "At the time it was discontinued in the US, it was not a temporary decision. It is only after the success in Europe that the US people decided to reintroduce it"</ref>

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.

While Hasbro rolled out the new ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' toyline in the US, the European line continued under the original branding, with a slew of new all-new-mold toys, in the same style as the previous year's, with a variety of new gimmicks… though curiously with the "Generation 2" Autobot and Decepticon symbols applied to them. (A popular [[Misconceptions and urban legends about Transformers#Generation 2|rumor]] claims that this was due to the international licence for the original symbols having expired, which sounds highly dubious.) Some toys even got the "Autobot/Decepticon" text-stamp that was added to every ''Generation 2'' toy in the US.

On top of all these new molds, last year's Turbomasters, Predators, Rescue Force and Constructicons were still shipping to stores, making for quite a full assortment of toys for the final year of the original ''Transformers'' toyline globally. ''Salut!''

Many fans consider this year a sort of "Generation 1.5", further buoyed by the fact that all of the new molds got re-released in 1994 under the ''Generation 2'' branding in European markets.

Confirmed releases include:

The Transformers (European toyline)

2025-11-27T22:38:36Z

Payres: /* Main Transformers Toyline */ add Motorvator and UK info

{{nav-G1}}

Originally, European countries got the same [[The Transformers (toyline)| ''The Transformers'']] toys [[Hasbro]] had previously released in the USA, although different countries got different toys (with a few getting regional manufacturers that'd in turn also produce a few occasional noticeable [[variant|variants]]). Initially, numerous sub-contracted companies were responsible for releasing the toys in the individual European countries (which involved [[multilingual packaging|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.

As the ''Transformers'' toyline faded in popularity across North America and Japan throughout the early 90s, the franchise conversely experienced a small parallel renaissance of sorts in Europe, with the region earning several unique figures during this time. After ''The Transformers'' toyline ended in the US, the line continued in Europe until it was renamed into ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)#|Generation 2]]'' in 1994, thus making Europe the only market where the toyline wasn't cancelled at any point.
{{picsneeded|GiG cars with ridiculous "bopper" missiles}}

==1984==
While ''The Transformers'' would not reach most of Europe until 1985, a number of the toys from the 1984 US line were also available in the UK the same year. Given that the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)#Marvel UK|Marvel UK comic]] launched in September '84 (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.

Little is known about the earliest toys released in the UK. Common consensus is that they came in English-only packaging virtually indistinguishable from the US packaging. Recounts of which toys were and weren't available in the UK vary depending on who you ask. This has not been helped by the passing of the years diminishing memory, toys missing one year showing up in a later year, [[Parallel_import|grey imports]] and non UK distributed toys being brought back from trips overseas. In general the pack in catalogue leaflets are considered a good guide but there are a few instances of toys being out in a particular year but not being shown on the catalogue leaflets. For 1984 the general consensus is that the catalogue leaflet is an accurate reflection on what was available, with five Autobot Cars not appearing till 1985. A surprising confirmed omission from the initial wave of 1984 toys is [[Megatron (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Megatron]], whose absence on the shelves was even noted in the letters page of the Marvel UK comic. Also of note is that the line's UK tag-line initially was "''Warrior'' Robots in Disguise", seen in the comic and on much of the early ancillary merchandise.

The assortment names used below are those seen in the leaflet which accompanied the 1984 range.

{{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.}}

==1985==
The ''Transformers'' toy line officially started in most European countries in 1985. It should be noted, though, that various European companies had already released licensed versions of [[TakaraTomy|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; Takara themselves released ''Diaclone'' in Finland). Some of the toys in those lines sported Hasbro-series changes, including color schemes and even Autobot symbols(!), as Takara was already shifting production of the toys from ''Diaclone'' to their own domestic release of ''Transformers''. But it wasn't until 1985 that ''Transformers'' toys were ''officially'' introduced to the various European markets under that name.

===United Kingdom===

All 1984 toys were still available in 1985, now with the addition of [[rubsign]]s. 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. Alongside with a variation of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Optimus Prime]] that sported red instead of blue feet, Megatron was manufactured by French company Ceji as part of a deal with Hasbro, and the red-footed version of Optimus Prime was also released by [[Milton Bradley]] in mainland Europe (see below).<ref name="redfoot1">[http://www.tf-1.com/articles/eurous_frame.php?art=redfoot "Red Footed Optimus Prime"] at TF-1.com</ref><ref name="mbjoustra">[http://20thcenturytoycollector.com/mb-transformers-part-4/ "The MB & Joustra Connection"] at 20th Century Toy Collector</ref>

Oddly, numerous toys were left out of the UK range, never to see official release: notably [[Swoop (G1)/toys#Toys|Swoop]], [[Shockwave (G1)/toys#Toys|Shockwave]] and [[Blaster (G1)/toys#Toys|Blaster]]. The [[Constructicon (G1)#Toys|Constructicon]]s were also missing; in the early 90s they got a semi-official import release, and a de-combiner'ed [[redeco]] release ([[The_Transformers_(European_toyline)#1992|see "1992" below]]). Some of the non-Takara sculpts were likely dropped due to licensing arrangements ([[Omega Supreme (G1)#Toys|Omega Supreme]], for example, was available as part of the competing Grandstand ''Convertors'' line around this time as "Omegatron"). Due to his absence from the 1985 Hasbro [[catalog]], [[Jetfire (G1)/toys#Toys|Jetfire]] has long been believed to have been held over until the 1986 range, but he was featured in the Autumn 1985 Argos catalog.<ref name="argos85">[http://issuu.com/retromash/docs/argos-no24-1985-autumn Fall 1985 Argos catalog] at Issuu.com.</ref>)

{{main|Joustra}}

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 German, French, Dutch and Spanish text. Therefore, MB covered the markets where Joustra's ''Diaclone'' toys were previously available, with the addition of Spain. The first wave of MB-branded toys was a rather odd selection, a result of Joustra holding the rights to many of the remaining toys, among them Optimus Prime. As a consequence, Jetfire was initially marketed as Autobot leader. Following a deal between Hasbro Bradley and Joustra's struggling parent company Ceji, a large amount of unsold Joustra toys were ''literally'' repackaged and released as the second wave of MB ''Transformers''.<ref name="mbjoustra"/>

Special Note: the tech specs feature inconsistencies for the Dutch (Functie / Funktie) & Spanish (Función / Cometido) across the line. Usage appears to be figure consistent, meaning you will only see use of one or the other within the wave.

An odd one-off addition to the 1985 French Transformers offering was [[Horloge Robot]], a small robot that splits into 14 different vehicles and features a working watch on his chest, released by [[AVI France]] in collaboration with [[wikipedia:Canal+ (French TV channel)|Canal+]]. Weirdly enough, he is none other than a repackaging of a common bootleg of ''[[Diaclone]]'' [[Diaclone#Gats Blocker|Gats Blocker]], now released under the official ''Transformers'' brand... For some reason.

{{main|GiG}}
[[GiG]] ("Geegh", but sometimes misspelled "GiGi") originally released licensed ''Diaclone'' toys under the name "[[Trasformer]]", occasionally sporting color schemes only found on Hasbro's ''Transformers'' versions (very likely because Takara was shifting production of the toys from ''Diaclone'' to ''Transformers'' at the time). Whether it was pressure from Hasbro or a mere marketing decision, GiG eventually acquired an additional license from Hasbro and 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").<ref name="chicken">[http://tfsource.com/blog/the-chicken-or-the-gig-part-1/ "The Chicken or the Gig?", Part 1] and [http://tfsource.com/blog/the-chicken-or-the-gig-part-2/ Part 2] at TFSource</ref> In addition to the official ''Transformers'' logo, a small remainder of the old ''Trasformer'' logo would remain on the packaging until 1987.

Speaking of ''Trasformer'' remnants, the "Autorobot Cars" and the "Distructor Planes" all sported unique "safety" missiles with large rubber boppers on the end instead of the individual missiles the versions released everywhere else had.

The [[Mini-Vehicle|Autobot Minicars/Mini Vehicles]] were apparently never released by GiG. The Italian names for their characters come from the Italian dub of the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|animated series]].

==1986==
===United Kingdom===

1986 was the first year that the UK lost toys that had been available in previous years. 4 cars survived from the initial 1984 [[Autobot#Generation_1_.2F_Beast_Era|Autobot]] car assortment, none from the 1984 Autobot cars held over till 1985 in the UK and 6 of the 7 new 1985 cars: [[Skids_(G1)#Generation_1|Skids]] misses out on a second year of availability. 5 of the six original [[Mini-Vehicle|Minibots]] are gone, only [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys|Bumblebee]] survives. Gone are the [[Mini-Cassette|tape]] 2 packs, although they continue till 1988 in the US line, as are [[Soundwave (G1)/toys|Soundwave]] & [[Buzzsaw (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Buzzsaw]]].

The catalogue does not show [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]] & [[Megatron (G1)/toys|Megatron]] - at one point the Transformers UK comic claimed they were still available in 1986.

The catalogue also does not show [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys|Rodimus Prime]] & [[Wreck-Gar (G1)|Wreck-Gar]]: they make a very late appearance on UK shelves towards the end of 1986 tying in with the release of Transformers The Movie.

Missing from the Hasbro UK releases are the [[Predacon_(G1)#toys|Predacons]] & [[Gnaw (G1)#toys|Gnaw]], [[Sky Lynx (G1)#Toys|Sky Lynx]], [[Trypticon (G1)#Toys|Trypticon]], who was seen "[[parallel_import|grey imported]]" at the time, and the Autobot [[Mini-Cassette|tapes]] & [[Ratbat (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Ratbat]] / [[Frenzy (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Frenzy]], who later had Chinese stock grey imports in the early 1990s.

Confirmed UK Hasbro releases from 1986 are:

===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 ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|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:

===Italy===

[[GiG]] was still doing their own thing at this point, with a bit of mix of Hasbro and Takara-style packaging. Notably, GiG's versions of the Aeriabolts, Protectobots, Stunticons and Combaticons came in boxes based on the Takara versions (including prominent "C" and "D" numbers and "Takara" instead of "Hasbro" logos), just like the previous year's Constructicons. 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.

Known Italian releases of 1986 toys are:

===Greece===
[[File:ElGreco-Logo.png|center|125px|link=El Greco]]
{{main|El Greco}}

[[El Greco]] manufactured and released a small number of ''Transformers'' toys to the Greek market, with the only known El Greco releases this year being seven Autobot Mini-Vehicles. These are mostly identical to their international versions safe for a few minor coloration differences, with the used plastics generally being a bit brighter or darker than their Hasbro and Joustra equivalents. The cards the toys were available on were based on the Hasbro cards but fully translated to Greek (including the character names) and sported Hasbro logos in addition to the "El Greco" logo.

It's not entirely clear when exactly the following toys were first available in Greece; however, they couldn't have been released before 1986, since they depict the "[[Decipher the Decepticon]]" poster artwork on the back of their cards.

==1987==
===United Kingdom===
In the UK in 1987 the line lost all the pre 1986 toys. Most of the new toys for 1986 survive apart from the [[Mini-Vehicle|Minibot]] & [[Battlecharger]] assortments. As per the [[1987#US|main US line]] the cars & planes introduced in 1986 received a [[Targetmaster_(technology)|Targetmaster]] upgrade

[[Fortress_Maximus_(G1)#Generation_1|Fortress Maximius]] was not offered for sale through Hasbro UK but a number were given away as colouring competition prizes: a toy promoting this was on display in Hamley's in Regents Street, London, well into the 1990s.

Also missing in the UK were the new [[Decepticon#Generation_1_continuity_family|Decepticon]] [[Mini-Cassette|tapes]], both factions' [[Clone_(subgroup)|Clones]], [[Punch_(G1)#Toys|Doublespy Punch/Countepunch]], [[Sixshot_(G1)|Sixshot]] and [[Monsterbot_(G1)|the Monsterbots]]. Sixshot, the Decepticon Clones and Punch/Counterpunch would later be sold in the UK as Chinese Grey Imports in the early 1990s as would the standard size Autobot & Decepticon [[Headmaster_(technology)|Headmasters]].

===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:

{{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.}}

===Italy===

[[GiG]] continued to have their own slightly-different take on ''Transformers'', mainly in packaging; the "Racerbots" (Throttlebots), "Tecnobots" and "Terrorbots" (it should be obvious) came in Takara-styled boxes complete with Japanese ID numbers. "Tundertron" (Abominus) was available as a giftset even though Hasbro hadn't released the toys in that form in the USA; the box layout was again based very closely on the standard Hasbro combiner giftsets at that time, but lacking the Hasbro logo, and sporting the toys' Takara ID numbers. The "Tecnobot" and "Terrorbot" advertisement flyers depict Scattershot and Hun-Gurrr erroneously wearing their respective combiner heads in their uncombined robot modes. The Monsterbots' boxes were based on the Hasbro versions, but sported "Takara" instead of "Hasbro" logos and Takara ID numbers.

==1988==
===United Kingdom===
In 1988 all the previously available toys were eliminated from the catalogue, but there are hints, in the Argos catalogue and elsewhere, that some may have continued to be distributed. There is some debate as to if the [[Triggerbot|Triggerbots]] & [[Triggercon|Triggercons]] were available in the UK in 1988: they are not shown on the catalogue.

As in previous years, the new US released [[Mini-Cassette|tapes]] were not offered in the UK. The UK also missed out on the "second wave" US [[Pretender#Toys|Pretenders]]: [[Autobot#Generation_1_.2F_Beast_Era|Autobots]] [[Groundbreaker#Toys|Groundbreaker]], [[Sky High (Pretender)#Toys|Sky High]] and [[Splashdown#Toys|Splashdown]], and [[Decepticon#Generation_1_continuity_family|Decepticons]] [[Bugly (G1)#Toys|Bugly]], [[Finback#Toys|Finback]] & [[Iguanus (G1)#Toys|Iguanus]].

The [[Pretender Vehicle|Pretender Vehicles]] were a Woolworths exclusive in 1988 before becoming more generally available in 1989.

Towards the end of the year, the [[Micromaster#Toys|Micromaster]] [[Off Road Patrol|Off Road]], [[Race Car Patrol|Race Car]] and [[Air Strike Patrol|Air Strike]] patrols were available in the UK in their "Micro Transformer" packaging.

===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 (all of the toys on this list have been found in both English stickered packaging and French/Dutch packaging):

===Italy===

Starting with the Pretenders, [[GiG]] finally dropped the small remainder of the old ''Trasformer'' logo from their packaging. The most interesting releases this year are the "Grandi Set Transformers" (also called "Superset Transformers" in the 1988 Christmas catalog), re-releases of the prior Combiner giftsets with a pack of five random "Exogini Transformers" ([[Decoy]]s) as a freebie.

Known Italian releases from 1988 are:

==1989==

===United Kingdom===

For the first time the UK received all of [[1989#U.S.|this year's new mainline western Transformers the same year they were released in the USA]]. Unfortunately this was also the first year the US had store exclusives, the [[Kmart|Kmart]] [[Legends_(G1)|Legends]] which the UK misses out on.

The [[Pretender_Monsters#toys|Pretender Monsters]] & [[Countdown (G1)|Countdown]] were Woolworths exclusives in 1989, with Countdown being more generally available the following year

Not shown on the pack in catalogue leaflet is [[The_Transformers_(European_toyline)#United_Kingdom_4|1988's]] [[Powermaster]] [[Optimus_Prime_(G1)/toys#PMOP|Optimus Prime]]. There is very strong evidence that this continues to be produced at least through 1989 with appearances in Argos catalogues into 1990 and boxed examples being found with the 1989 catalogue leaflet within.

===France, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Spain===

In 1989, all releases received French names, but not Dutch names. 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.

Confirmed releases include:

===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==
===Main Transformers Toyline===
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 releases, re-releases and exclusives in a pattern similar (if not exactly the same) to that of the European market; this would continue at least as far as ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]''.

Presumably, Germany got the UK versions of the 1990 [[Action Master]]s 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 include:

==="Classics" (Europe & Australasia)===

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, under the name "[[Classics (Europe)|Classics]]". Germany got the "Classics" toys in English packaging. Unlike the English and French/Dutch versions, the Italian and Spanish "Classics" don't actually say "Classic" anywhere on the packaging. The toys themselves are functionally identical to their original releases, complete with [[rubsign]]s. (Some toys released this year were altered the following year, but we'll talk about the details of that then.)

''Why'' this line happened is currently unknown, but there are several possibilities. It is known that the ''Transformers'' line was only ''just'' starting up in China (thanks to some legal shenanigans), and it appears the "Classics" toys were produced in the same Chinese factories, so the molds suddenly being available for production presented possibilities. It is unknown if Hasbro had originally intended for the toys to be released in the US market as well as in Europe, Australia and New Zealand, but the line's cancellation in the US killed that.

==1991==
===Main Transformers Toyline===
Although ''Transformers'' had come to a stop in the US, Hasbro continued releasing new toys to the European and Australasian markets. Following directly on from 1990's lineup was a number of new Action Masters, including an additional assortment of standard figures, figures with transforming exo-suit armour, and the infamously-paradoxical [[Action Master Elite]]s who could ''themselves'' transform. Again, Action Masters were available in English packaging in Germany.

The "Classic" range of older toys was also expanded with new and updated assortments, and was further complemented by a small quantity of toys from moulds previously exclusive to Japan—while these releases did not sport the "Classic" branding and had their own distinct box-back mural, they were released in the same style of gold packaging.

Four non Action Master toys were issued in the mainline, the Autobot [[Motorvator|Motorvators]], repaints of the Japanese Takara [[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)#1989 (Victory)|Victory]] era [[Brainmaster#Toys|Brainmaster cars]], and their Decepticon foe, [[Overlord (G1)|Overlord]] who originated in the Japanese Takara [[Fight!_Super_Robot_Lifeform_Transformers_(toyline)#1988_.28Super-God_Masterforce.29|Masterforce]] toyline and was was not released in the west in 1988 with the other [[Powermaster]] toys. In the UK Overlord was another exclusive for Woolworths.

===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. As the rubsigns were the ''only'' faction symbols on the Throttlebots, they were replaced with paper Autobot symbol stickers.

[[File:G1Stalker toy.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.44|Predator [[Stalker (G1)#Toys|Stalker]] (with [[Snare#Toys|Snare]] attached in the lower-right)]]
'92 is when the European ''Transformers'' line really began to kick into high gear, even if the amount of product was a little on the light side. Hasbro produced new toys exclusively designed for the European market (though some did get imported to Japan), which had a far more cohesive design aesthetic than... well, the line ever had in its past. The Autobots trended towards brighter colors and generally had more "human" faces, and each one used bright-magenta fluorescent translucent plastic for vehicle-mode windscreens and a new innovation in the line, [[light-piping|light-piped]] eyes which appear to "glow" when light shines through them from behind. The Decepticons trended towards darker, cooler colors, their faces much more "robotic" (usually with facemasks and visor-eyes), and using bright-green translucent plastic for their canopies/optics. Both sides also included spring-loaded missile launchers, a [[gimmick]] that had been all but abandoned in Hasbro's markets due to more stringent [[for safety reasons|safety regulations for projectiles]] in the US.

Rounding out the year's product are a strange pair of re-released combiner teams ''lacking'' their combining ability... or individual names.

After this year, Hasbro decided European sales were good enough to [[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|try to revive ''Transformers'' in the US again]].<ref>[http://www.tfarchive.com/fandom/interviews/george_dunsay/george_dunsay_interview.php George Dunsay interview at TFArchive]: "At the time it was discontinued in the US, it was not a temporary decision. It is only after the success in Europe that the US people decided to reintroduce it"</ref>

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.

Confirmed releases include:

While Hasbro rolled out the new ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' toyline in the US, the European line continued under the original branding, with a slew of new all-new-mold toys, in the same style as the previous year's, with a variety of new gimmicks… though curiously with the "Generation 2" Autobot and Decepticon symbols applied to them. (A popular [[Misconceptions and urban legends about Transformers#Generation 2|rumor]] claims that this was due to the international licence for the original symbols having expired, which sounds highly dubious.) Some toys even got the "Autobot/Decepticon" text-stamp that was added to every ''Generation 2'' toy in the US.

On top of all these new molds, last year's Turbomasters, Predators, Rescue Force and Constructicons were still shipping to stores, making for quite a full assortment of toys for the final year of the original ''Transformers'' toyline globally. ''Salut!''

Many fans consider this year a sort of "Generation 1.5", further buoyed by the fact that all of the new molds got re-released in 1994 under the ''Generation 2'' branding in European markets.

The Transformers (European toyline)

2025-11-27T22:28:58Z

Payres: /* Main Transformers Toyline */

{{nav-G1}}

Originally, European countries got the same [[The Transformers (toyline)| ''The Transformers'']] toys [[Hasbro]] had previously released in the USA, although different countries got different toys (with a few getting regional manufacturers that'd in turn also produce a few occasional noticeable [[variant|variants]]). Initially, numerous sub-contracted companies were responsible for releasing the toys in the individual European countries (which involved [[multilingual packaging|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.

As the ''Transformers'' toyline faded in popularity across North America and Japan throughout the early 90s, the franchise conversely experienced a small parallel renaissance of sorts in Europe, with the region earning several unique figures during this time. After ''The Transformers'' toyline ended in the US, the line continued in Europe until it was renamed into ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)#|Generation 2]]'' in 1994, thus making Europe the only market where the toyline wasn't cancelled at any point.
{{picsneeded|GiG cars with ridiculous "bopper" missiles}}

==1984==
While ''The Transformers'' would not reach most of Europe until 1985, a number of the toys from the 1984 US line were also available in the UK the same year. Given that the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)#Marvel UK|Marvel UK comic]] launched in September '84 (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.

Little is known about the earliest toys released in the UK. Common consensus is that they came in English-only packaging virtually indistinguishable from the US packaging. Recounts of which toys were and weren't available in the UK vary depending on who you ask. This has not been helped by the passing of the years diminishing memory, toys missing one year showing up in a later year, [[Parallel_import|grey imports]] and non UK distributed toys being brought back from trips overseas. In general the pack in catalogue leaflets are considered a good guide but there are a few instances of toys being out in a particular year but not being shown on the catalogue leaflets. For 1984 the general consensus is that the catalogue leaflet is an accurate reflection on what was available, with five Autobot Cars not appearing till 1985. A surprising confirmed omission from the initial wave of 1984 toys is [[Megatron (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Megatron]], whose absence on the shelves was even noted in the letters page of the Marvel UK comic. Also of note is that the line's UK tag-line initially was "''Warrior'' Robots in Disguise", seen in the comic and on much of the early ancillary merchandise.

The assortment names used below are those seen in the leaflet which accompanied the 1984 range.

{{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.}}

==1985==
The ''Transformers'' toy line officially started in most European countries in 1985. It should be noted, though, that various European companies had already released licensed versions of [[TakaraTomy|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; Takara themselves released ''Diaclone'' in Finland). Some of the toys in those lines sported Hasbro-series changes, including color schemes and even Autobot symbols(!), as Takara was already shifting production of the toys from ''Diaclone'' to their own domestic release of ''Transformers''. But it wasn't until 1985 that ''Transformers'' toys were ''officially'' introduced to the various European markets under that name.

===United Kingdom===

All 1984 toys were still available in 1985, now with the addition of [[rubsign]]s. 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. Alongside with a variation of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Optimus Prime]] that sported red instead of blue feet, Megatron was manufactured by French company Ceji as part of a deal with Hasbro, and the red-footed version of Optimus Prime was also released by [[Milton Bradley]] in mainland Europe (see below).<ref name="redfoot1">[http://www.tf-1.com/articles/eurous_frame.php?art=redfoot "Red Footed Optimus Prime"] at TF-1.com</ref><ref name="mbjoustra">[http://20thcenturytoycollector.com/mb-transformers-part-4/ "The MB & Joustra Connection"] at 20th Century Toy Collector</ref>

Oddly, numerous toys were left out of the UK range, never to see official release: notably [[Swoop (G1)/toys#Toys|Swoop]], [[Shockwave (G1)/toys#Toys|Shockwave]] and [[Blaster (G1)/toys#Toys|Blaster]]. The [[Constructicon (G1)#Toys|Constructicon]]s were also missing; in the early 90s they got a semi-official import release, and a de-combiner'ed [[redeco]] release ([[The_Transformers_(European_toyline)#1992|see "1992" below]]). Some of the non-Takara sculpts were likely dropped due to licensing arrangements ([[Omega Supreme (G1)#Toys|Omega Supreme]], for example, was available as part of the competing Grandstand ''Convertors'' line around this time as "Omegatron"). Due to his absence from the 1985 Hasbro [[catalog]], [[Jetfire (G1)/toys#Toys|Jetfire]] has long been believed to have been held over until the 1986 range, but he was featured in the Autumn 1985 Argos catalog.<ref name="argos85">[http://issuu.com/retromash/docs/argos-no24-1985-autumn Fall 1985 Argos catalog] at Issuu.com.</ref>)

===Germany, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain===
<center>[[File:Milton_Bradley_logo.png|140px||link=Milton Bradley]] [[File:Joustra1.jpg|200px||link=Joustra]]</center>
{{main|Joustra}}

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 German, French, Dutch and Spanish text. Therefore, MB covered the markets where Joustra's ''Diaclone'' toys were previously available, with the addition of Spain. The first wave of MB-branded toys was a rather odd selection, a result of Joustra holding the rights to many of the remaining toys, among them Optimus Prime. As a consequence, Jetfire was initially marketed as Autobot leader. Following a deal between Hasbro Bradley and Joustra's struggling parent company Ceji, a large amount of unsold Joustra toys were ''literally'' repackaged and released as the second wave of MB ''Transformers''.<ref name="mbjoustra"/>

Special Note: the tech specs feature inconsistencies for the Dutch (Functie / Funktie) & Spanish (Función / Cometido) across the line. Usage appears to be figure consistent, meaning you will only see use of one or the other within the wave.

An odd one-off addition to the 1985 French Transformers offering was [[Horloge Robot]], a small robot that splits into 14 different vehicles and features a working watch on his chest, released by [[AVI France]] in collaboration with [[wikipedia:Canal+ (French TV channel)|Canal+]]. Weirdly enough, he is none other than a repackaging of a common bootleg of ''[[Diaclone]]'' [[Diaclone#Gats Blocker|Gats Blocker]], now released under the official ''Transformers'' brand... For some reason.

<center>[[Image:Giglogo.jpg|140px|link=GiG]]‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎ㅤ‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎ㅤ[[Image:Trasformer_logo.png|200px|link=Trasformer]]</center>
{{main|GiG}}
[[GiG]] ("Geegh", but sometimes misspelled "GiGi") originally released licensed ''Diaclone'' toys under the name "[[Trasformer]]", occasionally sporting color schemes only found on Hasbro's ''Transformers'' versions (very likely because Takara was shifting production of the toys from ''Diaclone'' to ''Transformers'' at the time). Whether it was pressure from Hasbro or a mere marketing decision, GiG eventually acquired an additional license from Hasbro and 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").<ref name="chicken">[http://tfsource.com/blog/the-chicken-or-the-gig-part-1/ "The Chicken or the Gig?", Part 1] and [http://tfsource.com/blog/the-chicken-or-the-gig-part-2/ Part 2] at TFSource</ref> In addition to the official ''Transformers'' logo, a small remainder of the old ''Trasformer'' logo would remain on the packaging until 1987.

Speaking of ''Trasformer'' remnants, the "Autorobot Cars" and the "Distructor Planes" all sported unique "safety" missiles with large rubber boppers on the end instead of the individual missiles the versions released everywhere else had.

The [[Mini-Vehicle|Autobot Minicars/Mini Vehicles]] were apparently never released by GiG. The Italian names for their characters come from the Italian dub of the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|animated series]].

==1986==
===United Kingdom===

1986 was the first year that the UK lost toys that had been available in previous years. 4 cars survived from the initial 1984 [[Autobot#Generation_1_.2F_Beast_Era|Autobot]] car assortment, none from the 1984 Autobot cars held over till 1985 in the UK and 6 of the 7 new 1985 cars: [[Skids_(G1)#Generation_1|Skids]] misses out on a second year of availability. 5 of the six original [[Mini-Vehicle|Minibots]] are gone, only [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys|Bumblebee]] survives. Gone are the [[Mini-Cassette|tape]] 2 packs, although they continue till 1988 in the US line, as are [[Soundwave (G1)/toys|Soundwave]] & [[Buzzsaw (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Buzzsaw]]].

The catalogue does not show [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]] & [[Megatron (G1)/toys|Megatron]] - at one point the Transformers UK comic claimed they were still available in 1986.

The catalogue also does not show [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys|Rodimus Prime]] & [[Wreck-Gar (G1)|Wreck-Gar]]: they make a very late appearance on UK shelves towards the end of 1986 tying in with the release of Transformers The Movie.

Missing from the Hasbro UK releases are the [[Predacon_(G1)#toys|Predacons]] & [[Gnaw (G1)#toys|Gnaw]], [[Sky Lynx (G1)#Toys|Sky Lynx]], [[Trypticon (G1)#Toys|Trypticon]], who was seen "[[parallel_import|grey imported]]" at the time, and the Autobot [[Mini-Cassette|tapes]] & [[Ratbat (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Ratbat]] / [[Frenzy (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Frenzy]], who later had Chinese stock grey imports in the early 1990s.

Confirmed UK Hasbro releases from 1986 are:

Presumably, ''Transformers'' didn't sell well in Germany in 1985, as German was dropped as a language from the packaging until ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|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).

[[GiG]] was still doing their own thing at this point, with a bit of mix of Hasbro and Takara-style packaging. Notably, GiG's versions of the Aeriabolts, Protectobots, Stunticons and Combaticons came in boxes based on the Takara versions (including prominent "C" and "D" numbers and "Takara" instead of "Hasbro" logos), just like the previous year's Constructicons. 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.

Known Italian releases of 1986 toys are:

===Greece===
[[File:ElGreco-Logo.png|center|125px|link=El Greco]]
{{main|El Greco}}

[[El Greco]] manufactured and released a small number of ''Transformers'' toys to the Greek market, with the only known El Greco releases this year being seven Autobot Mini-Vehicles. These are mostly identical to their international versions safe for a few minor coloration differences, with the used plastics generally being a bit brighter or darker than their Hasbro and Joustra equivalents. The cards the toys were available on were based on the Hasbro cards but fully translated to Greek (including the character names) and sported Hasbro logos in addition to the "El Greco" logo.

It's not entirely clear when exactly the following toys were first available in Greece; however, they couldn't have been released before 1986, since they depict the "[[Decipher the Decepticon]]" poster artwork on the back of their cards.

==1987==
===United Kingdom===
In the UK in 1987 the line lost all the pre 1986 toys. Most of the new toys for 1986 survive apart from the [[Mini-Vehicle|Minibot]] & [[Battlecharger]] assortments. As per the [[1987#US|main US line]] the cars & planes introduced in 1986 received a [[Targetmaster_(technology)|Targetmaster]] upgrade

[[Fortress_Maximus_(G1)#Generation_1|Fortress Maximius]] was not offered for sale through Hasbro UK but a number were given away as colouring competition prizes: a toy promoting this was on display in Hamley's in Regents Street, London, well into the 1990s.

Also missing in the UK were the new [[Decepticon#Generation_1_continuity_family|Decepticon]] [[Mini-Cassette|tapes]], both factions' [[Clone_(subgroup)|Clones]], [[Punch_(G1)#Toys|Doublespy Punch/Countepunch]], [[Sixshot_(G1)|Sixshot]] and [[Monsterbot_(G1)|the Monsterbots]]. Sixshot, the Decepticon Clones and Punch/Counterpunch would later be sold in the UK as Chinese Grey Imports in the early 1990s as would the standard size Autobot & Decepticon [[Headmaster_(technology)|Headmasters]].

===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:

{{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.}}

===Italy===

[[GiG]] continued to have their own slightly-different take on ''Transformers'', mainly in packaging; the "Racerbots" (Throttlebots), "Tecnobots" and "Terrorbots" (it should be obvious) came in Takara-styled boxes complete with Japanese ID numbers. "Tundertron" (Abominus) was available as a giftset even though Hasbro hadn't released the toys in that form in the USA; the box layout was again based very closely on the standard Hasbro combiner giftsets at that time, but lacking the Hasbro logo, and sporting the toys' Takara ID numbers. The "Tecnobot" and "Terrorbot" advertisement flyers depict Scattershot and Hun-Gurrr erroneously wearing their respective combiner heads in their uncombined robot modes. The Monsterbots' boxes were based on the Hasbro versions, but sported "Takara" instead of "Hasbro" logos and Takara ID numbers.

==1988==
===United Kingdom===
In 1988 all the previously available toys were eliminated from the catalogue, but there are hints, in the Argos catalogue and elsewhere, that some may have continued to be distributed. There is some debate as to if the [[Triggerbot|Triggerbots]] & [[Triggercon|Triggercons]] were available in the UK in 1988: they are not shown on the catalogue.

As in previous years, the new US released [[Mini-Cassette|tapes]] were not offered in the UK. The UK also missed out on the "second wave" US [[Pretender#Toys|Pretenders]]: [[Autobot#Generation_1_.2F_Beast_Era|Autobots]] [[Groundbreaker#Toys|Groundbreaker]], [[Sky High (Pretender)#Toys|Sky High]] and [[Splashdown#Toys|Splashdown]], and [[Decepticon#Generation_1_continuity_family|Decepticons]] [[Bugly (G1)#Toys|Bugly]], [[Finback#Toys|Finback]] & [[Iguanus (G1)#Toys|Iguanus]].

The [[Pretender Vehicle|Pretender Vehicles]] were a Woolworths exclusive in 1988 before becoming more generally available in 1989.

Towards the end of the year, the [[Micromaster#Toys|Micromaster]] [[Off Road Patrol|Off Road]], [[Race Car Patrol|Race Car]] and [[Air Strike Patrol|Air Strike]] patrols were available in the UK in their "Micro Transformer" packaging.

===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 (all of the toys on this list have been found in both English stickered packaging and French/Dutch packaging):

===Italy===

Starting with the Pretenders, [[GiG]] finally dropped the small remainder of the old ''Trasformer'' logo from their packaging. The most interesting releases this year are the "Grandi Set Transformers" (also called "Superset Transformers" in the 1988 Christmas catalog), re-releases of the prior Combiner giftsets with a pack of five random "Exogini Transformers" ([[Decoy]]s) as a freebie.

Known Italian releases from 1988 are:

==1989==

===United Kingdom===

For the first time the UK received all of [[1989#U.S.|this year's new mainline western Transformers the same year they were released in the USA]]. Unfortunately this was also the first year the US had store exclusives, the [[Kmart|Kmart]] [[Legends_(G1)|Legends]] which the UK misses out on.

The [[Pretender_Monsters#toys|Pretender Monsters]] & [[Countdown (G1)|Countdown]] were Woolworths exclusives in 1989, with Countdown being more generally available the following year

Not shown on the pack in catalogue leaflet is [[The_Transformers_(European_toyline)#United_Kingdom_4|1988's]] [[Powermaster]] [[Optimus_Prime_(G1)/toys#PMOP|Optimus Prime]]. There is very strong evidence that this continues to be produced at least through 1989 with appearances in Argos catalogues into 1990 and boxed examples being found with the 1989 catalogue leaflet within.

===France, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Spain===

In 1989, all releases received French names, but not Dutch names. 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.

Confirmed releases include:

===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==
===Main Transformers Toyline===
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 releases, re-releases and exclusives in a pattern similar (if not exactly the same) to that of the European market; this would continue at least as far as ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]''.

Presumably, Germany got the UK versions of the 1990 [[Action Master]]s 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 include:

==="Classics" (Europe & Australasia)===

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, under the name "[[Classics (Europe)|Classics]]". Germany got the "Classics" toys in English packaging. Unlike the English and French/Dutch versions, the Italian and Spanish "Classics" don't actually say "Classic" anywhere on the packaging. The toys themselves are functionally identical to their original releases, complete with [[rubsign]]s. (Some toys released this year were altered the following year, but we'll talk about the details of that then.)

''Why'' this line happened is currently unknown, but there are several possibilities. It is known that the ''Transformers'' line was only ''just'' starting up in China (thanks to some legal shenanigans), and it appears the "Classics" toys were produced in the same Chinese factories, so the molds suddenly being available for production presented possibilities. It is unknown if Hasbro had originally intended for the toys to be released in the US market as well as in Europe, Australia and New Zealand, but the line's cancellation in the US killed that.

==1991==
===Main Transformers Toyline===
Although ''Transformers'' had come to a stop in the US, Hasbro continued releasing new toys to the European and Australasian markets. Following directly on from 1990's lineup was a number of new Action Masters, including an additional assortment of standard figures, figures with transforming exo-suit armour, and the infamously-paradoxical [[Action Master Elite]]s who could ''themselves'' transform. Again, Action Masters were available in English packaging in Germany.

The "Classic" range of older toys was also expanded with new and updated assortments, and was further complemented by a small quantity of toys from moulds previously exclusive to Japan—while these releases did not sport the "Classic" branding and had their own distinct box-back mural, they were released in the same style of gold packaging.

Confirmed releases include:

===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. As the rubsigns were the ''only'' faction symbols on the Throttlebots, they were replaced with paper Autobot symbol stickers.

==1992==

[[File:G1Stalker toy.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.44|Predator [[Stalker (G1)#Toys|Stalker]] (with [[Snare#Toys|Snare]] attached in the lower-right)]]
'92 is when the European ''Transformers'' line really began to kick into high gear, even if the amount of product was a little on the light side. Hasbro produced new toys exclusively designed for the European market (though some did get imported to Japan), which had a far more cohesive design aesthetic than... well, the line ever had in its past. The Autobots trended towards brighter colors and generally had more "human" faces, and each one used bright-magenta fluorescent translucent plastic for vehicle-mode windscreens and a new innovation in the line, [[light-piping|light-piped]] eyes which appear to "glow" when light shines through them from behind. The Decepticons trended towards darker, cooler colors, their faces much more "robotic" (usually with facemasks and visor-eyes), and using bright-green translucent plastic for their canopies/optics. Both sides also included spring-loaded missile launchers, a [[gimmick]] that had been all but abandoned in Hasbro's markets due to more stringent [[for safety reasons|safety regulations for projectiles]] in the US.

Rounding out the year's product are a strange pair of re-released combiner teams ''lacking'' their combining ability... or individual names.

After this year, Hasbro decided European sales were good enough to [[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|try to revive ''Transformers'' in the US again]].<ref>[http://www.tfarchive.com/fandom/interviews/george_dunsay/george_dunsay_interview.php George Dunsay interview at TFArchive]: "At the time it was discontinued in the US, it was not a temporary decision. It is only after the success in Europe that the US people decided to reintroduce it"</ref>

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.

While Hasbro rolled out the new ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' toyline in the US, the European line continued under the original branding, with a slew of new all-new-mold toys, in the same style as the previous year's, with a variety of new gimmicks… though curiously with the "Generation 2" Autobot and Decepticon symbols applied to them. (A popular [[Misconceptions and urban legends about Transformers#Generation 2|rumor]] claims that this was due to the international licence for the original symbols having expired, which sounds highly dubious.) Some toys even got the "Autobot/Decepticon" text-stamp that was added to every ''Generation 2'' toy in the US.

On top of all these new molds, last year's Turbomasters, Predators, Rescue Force and Constructicons were still shipping to stores, making for quite a full assortment of toys for the final year of the original ''Transformers'' toyline globally. ''Salut!''

Many fans consider this year a sort of "Generation 1.5", further buoyed by the fact that all of the new molds got re-released in 1994 under the ''Generation 2'' branding in European markets.

The Transformers (European toyline)

2025-11-27T22:25:34Z

Payres: /* Main Transformers Toyline */ added remaining Action Masters

{{nav-G1}}

Originally, European countries got the same [[The Transformers (toyline)| ''The Transformers'']] toys [[Hasbro]] had previously released in the USA, although different countries got different toys (with a few getting regional manufacturers that'd in turn also produce a few occasional noticeable [[variant|variants]]). Initially, numerous sub-contracted companies were responsible for releasing the toys in the individual European countries (which involved [[multilingual packaging|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.

As the ''Transformers'' toyline faded in popularity across North America and Japan throughout the early 90s, the franchise conversely experienced a small parallel renaissance of sorts in Europe, with the region earning several unique figures during this time. After ''The Transformers'' toyline ended in the US, the line continued in Europe until it was renamed into ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)#|Generation 2]]'' in 1994, thus making Europe the only market where the toyline wasn't cancelled at any point.
{{picsneeded|GiG cars with ridiculous "bopper" missiles}}

==1984==
While ''The Transformers'' would not reach most of Europe until 1985, a number of the toys from the 1984 US line were also available in the UK the same year. Given that the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)#Marvel UK|Marvel UK comic]] launched in September '84 (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.

Little is known about the earliest toys released in the UK. Common consensus is that they came in English-only packaging virtually indistinguishable from the US packaging. Recounts of which toys were and weren't available in the UK vary depending on who you ask. This has not been helped by the passing of the years diminishing memory, toys missing one year showing up in a later year, [[Parallel_import|grey imports]] and non UK distributed toys being brought back from trips overseas. In general the pack in catalogue leaflets are considered a good guide but there are a few instances of toys being out in a particular year but not being shown on the catalogue leaflets. For 1984 the general consensus is that the catalogue leaflet is an accurate reflection on what was available, with five Autobot Cars not appearing till 1985. A surprising confirmed omission from the initial wave of 1984 toys is [[Megatron (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Megatron]], whose absence on the shelves was even noted in the letters page of the Marvel UK comic. Also of note is that the line's UK tag-line initially was "''Warrior'' Robots in Disguise", seen in the comic and on much of the early ancillary merchandise.

The assortment names used below are those seen in the leaflet which accompanied the 1984 range.

{{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.}}

==1985==
The ''Transformers'' toy line officially started in most European countries in 1985. It should be noted, though, that various European companies had already released licensed versions of [[TakaraTomy|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; Takara themselves released ''Diaclone'' in Finland). Some of the toys in those lines sported Hasbro-series changes, including color schemes and even Autobot symbols(!), as Takara was already shifting production of the toys from ''Diaclone'' to their own domestic release of ''Transformers''. But it wasn't until 1985 that ''Transformers'' toys were ''officially'' introduced to the various European markets under that name.

===United Kingdom===

All 1984 toys were still available in 1985, now with the addition of [[rubsign]]s. 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. Alongside with a variation of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Optimus Prime]] that sported red instead of blue feet, Megatron was manufactured by French company Ceji as part of a deal with Hasbro, and the red-footed version of Optimus Prime was also released by [[Milton Bradley]] in mainland Europe (see below).<ref name="redfoot1">[http://www.tf-1.com/articles/eurous_frame.php?art=redfoot "Red Footed Optimus Prime"] at TF-1.com</ref><ref name="mbjoustra">[http://20thcenturytoycollector.com/mb-transformers-part-4/ "The MB & Joustra Connection"] at 20th Century Toy Collector</ref>

Oddly, numerous toys were left out of the UK range, never to see official release: notably [[Swoop (G1)/toys#Toys|Swoop]], [[Shockwave (G1)/toys#Toys|Shockwave]] and [[Blaster (G1)/toys#Toys|Blaster]]. The [[Constructicon (G1)#Toys|Constructicon]]s were also missing; in the early 90s they got a semi-official import release, and a de-combiner'ed [[redeco]] release ([[The_Transformers_(European_toyline)#1992|see "1992" below]]). Some of the non-Takara sculpts were likely dropped due to licensing arrangements ([[Omega Supreme (G1)#Toys|Omega Supreme]], for example, was available as part of the competing Grandstand ''Convertors'' line around this time as "Omegatron"). Due to his absence from the 1985 Hasbro [[catalog]], [[Jetfire (G1)/toys#Toys|Jetfire]] has long been believed to have been held over until the 1986 range, but he was featured in the Autumn 1985 Argos catalog.<ref name="argos85">[http://issuu.com/retromash/docs/argos-no24-1985-autumn Fall 1985 Argos catalog] at Issuu.com.</ref>)

<center>[[File:Milton_Bradley_logo.png|140px||link=Milton Bradley]] [[File:Joustra1.jpg|200px||link=Joustra]]</center>
{{main|Joustra}}

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 German, French, Dutch and Spanish text. Therefore, MB covered the markets where Joustra's ''Diaclone'' toys were previously available, with the addition of Spain. The first wave of MB-branded toys was a rather odd selection, a result of Joustra holding the rights to many of the remaining toys, among them Optimus Prime. As a consequence, Jetfire was initially marketed as Autobot leader. Following a deal between Hasbro Bradley and Joustra's struggling parent company Ceji, a large amount of unsold Joustra toys were ''literally'' repackaged and released as the second wave of MB ''Transformers''.<ref name="mbjoustra"/>

Special Note: the tech specs feature inconsistencies for the Dutch (Functie / Funktie) & Spanish (Función / Cometido) across the line. Usage appears to be figure consistent, meaning you will only see use of one or the other within the wave.

An odd one-off addition to the 1985 French Transformers offering was [[Horloge Robot]], a small robot that splits into 14 different vehicles and features a working watch on his chest, released by [[AVI France]] in collaboration with [[wikipedia:Canal+ (French TV channel)|Canal+]]. Weirdly enough, he is none other than a repackaging of a common bootleg of ''[[Diaclone]]'' [[Diaclone#Gats Blocker|Gats Blocker]], now released under the official ''Transformers'' brand... For some reason.

<center>[[Image:Giglogo.jpg|140px|link=GiG]]‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎ㅤ‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎ㅤ[[Image:Trasformer_logo.png|200px|link=Trasformer]]</center>
{{main|GiG}}
[[GiG]] ("Geegh", but sometimes misspelled "GiGi") originally released licensed ''Diaclone'' toys under the name "[[Trasformer]]", occasionally sporting color schemes only found on Hasbro's ''Transformers'' versions (very likely because Takara was shifting production of the toys from ''Diaclone'' to ''Transformers'' at the time). Whether it was pressure from Hasbro or a mere marketing decision, GiG eventually acquired an additional license from Hasbro and 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").<ref name="chicken">[http://tfsource.com/blog/the-chicken-or-the-gig-part-1/ "The Chicken or the Gig?", Part 1] and [http://tfsource.com/blog/the-chicken-or-the-gig-part-2/ Part 2] at TFSource</ref> In addition to the official ''Transformers'' logo, a small remainder of the old ''Trasformer'' logo would remain on the packaging until 1987.

Speaking of ''Trasformer'' remnants, the "Autorobot Cars" and the "Distructor Planes" all sported unique "safety" missiles with large rubber boppers on the end instead of the individual missiles the versions released everywhere else had.

The [[Mini-Vehicle|Autobot Minicars/Mini Vehicles]] were apparently never released by GiG. The Italian names for their characters come from the Italian dub of the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|animated series]].

==1986==
===United Kingdom===

1986 was the first year that the UK lost toys that had been available in previous years. 4 cars survived from the initial 1984 [[Autobot#Generation_1_.2F_Beast_Era|Autobot]] car assortment, none from the 1984 Autobot cars held over till 1985 in the UK and 6 of the 7 new 1985 cars: [[Skids_(G1)#Generation_1|Skids]] misses out on a second year of availability. 5 of the six original [[Mini-Vehicle|Minibots]] are gone, only [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys|Bumblebee]] survives. Gone are the [[Mini-Cassette|tape]] 2 packs, although they continue till 1988 in the US line, as are [[Soundwave (G1)/toys|Soundwave]] & [[Buzzsaw (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Buzzsaw]]].

The catalogue does not show [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]] & [[Megatron (G1)/toys|Megatron]] - at one point the Transformers UK comic claimed they were still available in 1986.

The catalogue also does not show [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys|Rodimus Prime]] & [[Wreck-Gar (G1)|Wreck-Gar]]: they make a very late appearance on UK shelves towards the end of 1986 tying in with the release of Transformers The Movie.

Missing from the Hasbro UK releases are the [[Predacon_(G1)#toys|Predacons]] & [[Gnaw (G1)#toys|Gnaw]], [[Sky Lynx (G1)#Toys|Sky Lynx]], [[Trypticon (G1)#Toys|Trypticon]], who was seen "[[parallel_import|grey imported]]" at the time, and the Autobot [[Mini-Cassette|tapes]] & [[Ratbat (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Ratbat]] / [[Frenzy (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Frenzy]], who later had Chinese stock grey imports in the early 1990s.

Confirmed UK Hasbro releases from 1986 are:

===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 ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|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:

===Italy===

[[GiG]] was still doing their own thing at this point, with a bit of mix of Hasbro and Takara-style packaging. Notably, GiG's versions of the Aeriabolts, Protectobots, Stunticons and Combaticons came in boxes based on the Takara versions (including prominent "C" and "D" numbers and "Takara" instead of "Hasbro" logos), just like the previous year's Constructicons. 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.

Known Italian releases of 1986 toys are:

===Greece===
[[File:ElGreco-Logo.png|center|125px|link=El Greco]]
{{main|El Greco}}

[[El Greco]] manufactured and released a small number of ''Transformers'' toys to the Greek market, with the only known El Greco releases this year being seven Autobot Mini-Vehicles. These are mostly identical to their international versions safe for a few minor coloration differences, with the used plastics generally being a bit brighter or darker than their Hasbro and Joustra equivalents. The cards the toys were available on were based on the Hasbro cards but fully translated to Greek (including the character names) and sported Hasbro logos in addition to the "El Greco" logo.

It's not entirely clear when exactly the following toys were first available in Greece; however, they couldn't have been released before 1986, since they depict the "[[Decipher the Decepticon]]" poster artwork on the back of their cards.

==1987==
===United Kingdom===
In the UK in 1987 the line lost all the pre 1986 toys. Most of the new toys for 1986 survive apart from the [[Mini-Vehicle|Minibot]] & [[Battlecharger]] assortments. As per the [[1987#US|main US line]] the cars & planes introduced in 1986 received a [[Targetmaster_(technology)|Targetmaster]] upgrade

[[Fortress_Maximus_(G1)#Generation_1|Fortress Maximius]] was not offered for sale through Hasbro UK but a number were given away as colouring competition prizes: a toy promoting this was on display in Hamley's in Regents Street, London, well into the 1990s.

Also missing in the UK were the new [[Decepticon#Generation_1_continuity_family|Decepticon]] [[Mini-Cassette|tapes]], both factions' [[Clone_(subgroup)|Clones]], [[Punch_(G1)#Toys|Doublespy Punch/Countepunch]], [[Sixshot_(G1)|Sixshot]] and [[Monsterbot_(G1)|the Monsterbots]]. Sixshot, the Decepticon Clones and Punch/Counterpunch would later be sold in the UK as Chinese Grey Imports in the early 1990s as would the standard size Autobot & Decepticon [[Headmaster_(technology)|Headmasters]].

===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:

{{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.}}

===Italy===

[[GiG]] continued to have their own slightly-different take on ''Transformers'', mainly in packaging; the "Racerbots" (Throttlebots), "Tecnobots" and "Terrorbots" (it should be obvious) came in Takara-styled boxes complete with Japanese ID numbers. "Tundertron" (Abominus) was available as a giftset even though Hasbro hadn't released the toys in that form in the USA; the box layout was again based very closely on the standard Hasbro combiner giftsets at that time, but lacking the Hasbro logo, and sporting the toys' Takara ID numbers. The "Tecnobot" and "Terrorbot" advertisement flyers depict Scattershot and Hun-Gurrr erroneously wearing their respective combiner heads in their uncombined robot modes. The Monsterbots' boxes were based on the Hasbro versions, but sported "Takara" instead of "Hasbro" logos and Takara ID numbers.

==1988==
===United Kingdom===
In 1988 all the previously available toys were eliminated from the catalogue, but there are hints, in the Argos catalogue and elsewhere, that some may have continued to be distributed. There is some debate as to if the [[Triggerbot|Triggerbots]] & [[Triggercon|Triggercons]] were available in the UK in 1988: they are not shown on the catalogue.

As in previous years, the new US released [[Mini-Cassette|tapes]] were not offered in the UK. The UK also missed out on the "second wave" US [[Pretender#Toys|Pretenders]]: [[Autobot#Generation_1_.2F_Beast_Era|Autobots]] [[Groundbreaker#Toys|Groundbreaker]], [[Sky High (Pretender)#Toys|Sky High]] and [[Splashdown#Toys|Splashdown]], and [[Decepticon#Generation_1_continuity_family|Decepticons]] [[Bugly (G1)#Toys|Bugly]], [[Finback#Toys|Finback]] & [[Iguanus (G1)#Toys|Iguanus]].

The [[Pretender Vehicle|Pretender Vehicles]] were a Woolworths exclusive in 1988 before becoming more generally available in 1989.

Towards the end of the year, the [[Micromaster#Toys|Micromaster]] [[Off Road Patrol|Off Road]], [[Race Car Patrol|Race Car]] and [[Air Strike Patrol|Air Strike]] patrols were available in the UK in their "Micro Transformer" packaging.

===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 (all of the toys on this list have been found in both English stickered packaging and French/Dutch packaging):

===Italy===

Starting with the Pretenders, [[GiG]] finally dropped the small remainder of the old ''Trasformer'' logo from their packaging. The most interesting releases this year are the "Grandi Set Transformers" (also called "Superset Transformers" in the 1988 Christmas catalog), re-releases of the prior Combiner giftsets with a pack of five random "Exogini Transformers" ([[Decoy]]s) as a freebie.

Known Italian releases from 1988 are:

==1989==

===United Kingdom===

For the first time the UK received all of [[1989#U.S.|this year's new mainline western Transformers the same year they were released in the USA]]. Unfortunately this was also the first year the US had store exclusives, the [[Kmart|Kmart]] [[Legends_(G1)|Legends]] which the UK misses out on.

The [[Pretender_Monsters#toys|Pretender Monsters]] & [[Countdown (G1)|Countdown]] were Woolworths exclusives in 1989, with Countdown being more generally available the following year

Not shown on the pack in catalogue leaflet is [[The_Transformers_(European_toyline)#United_Kingdom_4|1988's]] [[Powermaster]] [[Optimus_Prime_(G1)/toys#PMOP|Optimus Prime]]. There is very strong evidence that this continues to be produced at least through 1989 with appearances in Argos catalogues into 1990 and boxed examples being found with the 1989 catalogue leaflet within.

===France, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Spain===

In 1989, all releases received French names, but not Dutch names. 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.

Confirmed releases include:

===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==
===Main Transformers Toyline===
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 releases, re-releases and exclusives in a pattern similar (if not exactly the same) to that of the European market; this would continue at least as far as ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]''.

Presumably, Germany got the UK versions of the 1990 [[Action Master]]s 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 include:

==="Classics" (Europe & Australasia)===

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, under the name "[[Classics (Europe)|Classics]]". Germany got the "Classics" toys in English packaging. Unlike the English and French/Dutch versions, the Italian and Spanish "Classics" don't actually say "Classic" anywhere on the packaging. The toys themselves are functionally identical to their original releases, complete with [[rubsign]]s. (Some toys released this year were altered the following year, but we'll talk about the details of that then.)

''Why'' this line happened is currently unknown, but there are several possibilities. It is known that the ''Transformers'' line was only ''just'' starting up in China (thanks to some legal shenanigans), and it appears the "Classics" toys were produced in the same Chinese factories, so the molds suddenly being available for production presented possibilities. It is unknown if Hasbro had originally intended for the toys to be released in the US market as well as in Europe, Australia and New Zealand, but the line's cancellation in the US killed that.

==1991==
===Main Transformers Toyline===
Although ''Transformers'' had come to a stop in the US, Hasbro continued releasing new toys to the European and Australasian markets. Following directly on from 1990's lineup was a number of new Action Masters, including an additional assortment of standard figures, figures with transforming exo-suit armour, and the infamously-paradoxical [[Action Master Elite]]s who could ''themselves'' transform. Again, Action Masters were available in English packaging in Germany.

The "Classic" range of older toys was also expanded with new and updated assortments, and was further complemented by a small quantity of toys from moulds previously exclusive to Japan—while these releases did not sport the "Classic" branding and had their own distinct box-back mural, they were released in the same style of gold packaging.

Confirmed releases include:

===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. As the rubsigns were the ''only'' faction symbols on the Throttlebots, they were replaced with paper Autobot symbol stickers.

[[File:G1Stalker toy.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.44|Predator [[Stalker (G1)#Toys|Stalker]] (with [[Snare#Toys|Snare]] attached in the lower-right)]]
'92 is when the European ''Transformers'' line really began to kick into high gear, even if the amount of product was a little on the light side. Hasbro produced new toys exclusively designed for the European market (though some did get imported to Japan), which had a far more cohesive design aesthetic than... well, the line ever had in its past. The Autobots trended towards brighter colors and generally had more "human" faces, and each one used bright-magenta fluorescent translucent plastic for vehicle-mode windscreens and a new innovation in the line, [[light-piping|light-piped]] eyes which appear to "glow" when light shines through them from behind. The Decepticons trended towards darker, cooler colors, their faces much more "robotic" (usually with facemasks and visor-eyes), and using bright-green translucent plastic for their canopies/optics. Both sides also included spring-loaded missile launchers, a [[gimmick]] that had been all but abandoned in Hasbro's markets due to more stringent [[for safety reasons|safety regulations for projectiles]] in the US.

Rounding out the year's product are a strange pair of re-released combiner teams ''lacking'' their combining ability... or individual names.

After this year, Hasbro decided European sales were good enough to [[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|try to revive ''Transformers'' in the US again]].<ref>[http://www.tfarchive.com/fandom/interviews/george_dunsay/george_dunsay_interview.php George Dunsay interview at TFArchive]: "At the time it was discontinued in the US, it was not a temporary decision. It is only after the success in Europe that the US people decided to reintroduce it"</ref>

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.

While Hasbro rolled out the new ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' toyline in the US, the European line continued under the original branding, with a slew of new all-new-mold toys, in the same style as the previous year's, with a variety of new gimmicks… though curiously with the "Generation 2" Autobot and Decepticon symbols applied to them. (A popular [[Misconceptions and urban legends about Transformers#Generation 2|rumor]] claims that this was due to the international licence for the original symbols having expired, which sounds highly dubious.) Some toys even got the "Autobot/Decepticon" text-stamp that was added to every ''Generation 2'' toy in the US.

On top of all these new molds, last year's Turbomasters, Predators, Rescue Force and Constructicons were still shipping to stores, making for quite a full assortment of toys for the final year of the original ''Transformers'' toyline globally. ''Salut!''

Many fans consider this year a sort of "Generation 1.5", further buoyed by the fact that all of the new molds got re-released in 1994 under the ''Generation 2'' branding in European markets.

The Transformers (European toyline)

2025-11-27T18:55:07Z

Payres: /* 1984 */

{{nav-G1}}

Originally, European countries got the same [[The Transformers (toyline)| ''The Transformers'']] toys [[Hasbro]] had previously released in the USA, although different countries got different toys (with a few getting regional manufacturers that'd in turn also produce a few occasional noticeable [[variant|variants]]). Initially, numerous sub-contracted companies were responsible for releasing the toys in the individual European countries (which involved [[multilingual packaging|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.

As the ''Transformers'' toyline faded in popularity across North America and Japan throughout the early 90s, the franchise conversely experienced a small parallel renaissance of sorts in Europe, with the region earning several unique figures during this time. After ''The Transformers'' toyline ended in the US, the line continued in Europe until it was renamed into ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)#|Generation 2]]'' in 1994, thus making Europe the only market where the toyline wasn't cancelled at any point.
{{picsneeded|GiG cars with ridiculous "bopper" missiles}}

==1984==
While ''The Transformers'' would not reach most of Europe until 1985, a number of the toys from the 1984 US line were also available in the UK the same year. Given that the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)#Marvel UK|Marvel UK comic]] launched in September '84 (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.

Little is known about the earliest toys released in the UK. Common consensus is that they came in English-only packaging virtually indistinguishable from the US packaging. Recounts of which toys were and weren't available in the UK vary depending on who you ask. This has not been helped by the passing of the years diminishing memory, toys missing one year showing up in a later year, [[Parallel_import|grey imports]] and non UK distributed toys being brought back from trips overseas. In general the pack in catalogue leaflets are considered a good guide but there are a few instances of toys being out in a particular year but not being shown on the catalogue leaflets. For 1984 the general consensus is that the catalogue leaflet is an accurate reflection on what was available, with five Autobot Cars not appearing till 1985. A surprising confirmed omission from the initial wave of 1984 toys is [[Megatron (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Megatron]], whose absence on the shelves was even noted in the letters page of the Marvel UK comic. Also of note is that the line's UK tag-line initially was "''Warrior'' Robots in Disguise", seen in the comic and on much of the early ancillary merchandise.

The assortment names used below are those seen in the leaflet which accompanied the 1984 range.

{{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.}}

==1985==
The ''Transformers'' toy line officially started in most European countries in 1985. It should be noted, though, that various European companies had already released licensed versions of [[TakaraTomy|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; Takara themselves released ''Diaclone'' in Finland). Some of the toys in those lines sported Hasbro-series changes, including color schemes and even Autobot symbols(!), as Takara was already shifting production of the toys from ''Diaclone'' to their own domestic release of ''Transformers''. But it wasn't until 1985 that ''Transformers'' toys were ''officially'' introduced to the various European markets under that name.

===United Kingdom===

All 1984 toys were still available in 1985, now with the addition of [[rubsign]]s. 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. Alongside with a variation of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Optimus Prime]] that sported red instead of blue feet, Megatron was manufactured by French company Ceji as part of a deal with Hasbro, and the red-footed version of Optimus Prime was also released by [[Milton Bradley]] in mainland Europe (see below).<ref name="redfoot1">[http://www.tf-1.com/articles/eurous_frame.php?art=redfoot "Red Footed Optimus Prime"] at TF-1.com</ref><ref name="mbjoustra">[http://20thcenturytoycollector.com/mb-transformers-part-4/ "The MB & Joustra Connection"] at 20th Century Toy Collector</ref>

Oddly, numerous toys were left out of the UK range, never to see official release: notably [[Swoop (G1)/toys#Toys|Swoop]], [[Shockwave (G1)/toys#Toys|Shockwave]] and [[Blaster (G1)/toys#Toys|Blaster]]. The [[Constructicon (G1)#Toys|Constructicon]]s were also missing; in the early 90s they got a semi-official import release, and a de-combiner'ed [[redeco]] release ([[The_Transformers_(European_toyline)#1992|see "1992" below]]). Some of the non-Takara sculpts were likely dropped due to licensing arrangements ([[Omega Supreme (G1)#Toys|Omega Supreme]], for example, was available as part of the competing Grandstand ''Convertors'' line around this time as "Omegatron"). Due to his absence from the 1985 Hasbro [[catalog]], [[Jetfire (G1)/toys#Toys|Jetfire]] has long been believed to have been held over until the 1986 range, but he was featured in the Autumn 1985 Argos catalog.<ref name="argos85">[http://issuu.com/retromash/docs/argos-no24-1985-autumn Fall 1985 Argos catalog] at Issuu.com.</ref>)

{{main|Joustra}}

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 German, French, Dutch and Spanish text. Therefore, MB covered the markets where Joustra's ''Diaclone'' toys were previously available, with the addition of Spain. The first wave of MB-branded toys was a rather odd selection, a result of Joustra holding the rights to many of the remaining toys, among them Optimus Prime. As a consequence, Jetfire was initially marketed as Autobot leader. Following a deal between Hasbro Bradley and Joustra's struggling parent company Ceji, a large amount of unsold Joustra toys were ''literally'' repackaged and released as the second wave of MB ''Transformers''.<ref name="mbjoustra"/>

Special Note: the tech specs feature inconsistencies for the Dutch (Functie / Funktie) & Spanish (Función / Cometido) across the line. Usage appears to be figure consistent, meaning you will only see use of one or the other within the wave.

An odd one-off addition to the 1985 French Transformers offering was [[Horloge Robot]], a small robot that splits into 14 different vehicles and features a working watch on his chest, released by [[AVI France]] in collaboration with [[wikipedia:Canal+ (French TV channel)|Canal+]]. Weirdly enough, he is none other than a repackaging of a common bootleg of ''[[Diaclone]]'' [[Diaclone#Gats Blocker|Gats Blocker]], now released under the official ''Transformers'' brand... For some reason.

{{main|GiG}}
[[GiG]] ("Geegh", but sometimes misspelled "GiGi") originally released licensed ''Diaclone'' toys under the name "[[Trasformer]]", occasionally sporting color schemes only found on Hasbro's ''Transformers'' versions (very likely because Takara was shifting production of the toys from ''Diaclone'' to ''Transformers'' at the time). Whether it was pressure from Hasbro or a mere marketing decision, GiG eventually acquired an additional license from Hasbro and 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").<ref name="chicken">[http://tfsource.com/blog/the-chicken-or-the-gig-part-1/ "The Chicken or the Gig?", Part 1] and [http://tfsource.com/blog/the-chicken-or-the-gig-part-2/ Part 2] at TFSource</ref> In addition to the official ''Transformers'' logo, a small remainder of the old ''Trasformer'' logo would remain on the packaging until 1987.

Speaking of ''Trasformer'' remnants, the "Autorobot Cars" and the "Distructor Planes" all sported unique "safety" missiles with large rubber boppers on the end instead of the individual missiles the versions released everywhere else had.

The [[Mini-Vehicle|Autobot Minicars/Mini Vehicles]] were apparently never released by GiG. The Italian names for their characters come from the Italian dub of the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|animated series]].

==1986==
===United Kingdom===

1986 was the first year that the UK lost toys that had been available in previous years. 4 cars survived from the initial 1984 [[Autobot#Generation_1_.2F_Beast_Era|Autobot]] car assortment, none from the 1984 Autobot cars held over till 1985 in the UK and 6 of the 7 new 1985 cars: [[Skids_(G1)#Generation_1|Skids]] misses out on a second year of availability. 5 of the six original [[Mini-Vehicle|Minibots]] are gone, only [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys|Bumblebee]] survives. Gone are the [[Mini-Cassette|tape]] 2 packs, although they continue till 1988 in the US line, as are [[Soundwave (G1)/toys|Soundwave]] & [[Buzzsaw (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Buzzsaw]]].

The catalogue does not show [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]] & [[Megatron (G1)/toys|Megatron]] - at one point the Transformers UK comic claimed they were still available in 1986.

The catalogue also does not show [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys|Rodimus Prime]] & [[Wreck-Gar (G1)|Wreck-Gar]]: they make a very late appearance on UK shelves towards the end of 1986 tying in with the release of Transformers The Movie.

Missing from the Hasbro UK releases are the [[Predacon_(G1)#toys|Predacons]] & [[Gnaw (G1)#toys|Gnaw]], [[Sky Lynx (G1)#Toys|Sky Lynx]], [[Trypticon (G1)#Toys|Trypticon]], who was seen "[[parallel_import|grey imported]]" at the time, and the Autobot [[Mini-Cassette|tapes]] & [[Ratbat (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Ratbat]] / [[Frenzy (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Frenzy]], who later had Chinese stock grey imports in the early 1990s.

Confirmed UK Hasbro releases from 1986 are:

===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 ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|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:

===Italy===

[[GiG]] was still doing their own thing at this point, with a bit of mix of Hasbro and Takara-style packaging. Notably, GiG's versions of the Aeriabolts, Protectobots, Stunticons and Combaticons came in boxes based on the Takara versions (including prominent "C" and "D" numbers and "Takara" instead of "Hasbro" logos), just like the previous year's Constructicons. 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.

Known Italian releases of 1986 toys are:

===Greece===
[[File:ElGreco-Logo.png|center|125px|link=El Greco]]
{{main|El Greco}}

[[El Greco]] manufactured and released a small number of ''Transformers'' toys to the Greek market, with the only known El Greco releases this year being seven Autobot Mini-Vehicles. These are mostly identical to their international versions safe for a few minor coloration differences, with the used plastics generally being a bit brighter or darker than their Hasbro and Joustra equivalents. The cards the toys were available on were based on the Hasbro cards but fully translated to Greek (including the character names) and sported Hasbro logos in addition to the "El Greco" logo.

It's not entirely clear when exactly the following toys were first available in Greece; however, they couldn't have been released before 1986, since they depict the "[[Decipher the Decepticon]]" poster artwork on the back of their cards.

==1987==
===United Kingdom===
In the UK in 1987 the line lost all the pre 1986 toys. Most of the new toys for 1986 survive apart from the [[Mini-Vehicle|Minibot]] & [[Battlecharger]] assortments. As per the [[1987#US|main US line]] the cars & planes introduced in 1986 received a [[Targetmaster_(technology)|Targetmaster]] upgrade

[[Fortress_Maximus_(G1)#Generation_1|Fortress Maximius]] was not offered for sale through Hasbro UK but a number were given away as colouring competition prizes: a toy promoting this was on display in Hamley's in Regents Street, London, well into the 1990s.

Also missing in the UK were the new [[Decepticon#Generation_1_continuity_family|Decepticon]] [[Mini-Cassette|tapes]], both factions' [[Clone_(subgroup)|Clones]], [[Punch_(G1)#Toys|Doublespy Punch/Countepunch]], [[Sixshot_(G1)|Sixshot]] and [[Monsterbot_(G1)|the Monsterbots]]. Sixshot, the Decepticon Clones and Punch/Counterpunch would later be sold in the UK as Chinese Grey Imports in the early 1990s as would the standard size Autobot & Decepticon [[Headmaster_(technology)|Headmasters]].

===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:

{{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.}}

===Italy===

[[GiG]] continued to have their own slightly-different take on ''Transformers'', mainly in packaging; the "Racerbots" (Throttlebots), "Tecnobots" and "Terrorbots" (it should be obvious) came in Takara-styled boxes complete with Japanese ID numbers. "Tundertron" (Abominus) was available as a giftset even though Hasbro hadn't released the toys in that form in the USA; the box layout was again based very closely on the standard Hasbro combiner giftsets at that time, but lacking the Hasbro logo, and sporting the toys' Takara ID numbers. The "Tecnobot" and "Terrorbot" advertisement flyers depict Scattershot and Hun-Gurrr erroneously wearing their respective combiner heads in their uncombined robot modes. The Monsterbots' boxes were based on the Hasbro versions, but sported "Takara" instead of "Hasbro" logos and Takara ID numbers.

==1988==
===United Kingdom===
In 1988 all the previously available toys were eliminated from the catalogue, but there are hints, in the Argos catalogue and elsewhere, that some may have continued to be distributed. There is some debate as to if the [[Triggerbot|Triggerbots]] & [[Triggercon|Triggercons]] were available in the UK in 1988: they are not shown on the catalogue.

As in previous years, the new US released [[Mini-Cassette|tapes]] were not offered in the UK. The UK also missed out on the "second wave" US [[Pretender#Toys|Pretenders]]: [[Autobot#Generation_1_.2F_Beast_Era|Autobots]] [[Groundbreaker#Toys|Groundbreaker]], [[Sky High (Pretender)#Toys|Sky High]] and [[Splashdown#Toys|Splashdown]], and [[Decepticon#Generation_1_continuity_family|Decepticons]] [[Bugly (G1)#Toys|Bugly]], [[Finback#Toys|Finback]] & [[Iguanus (G1)#Toys|Iguanus]].

The [[Pretender Vehicle|Pretender Vehicles]] were a Woolworths exclusive in 1988 before becoming more generally available in 1989.

Towards the end of the year, the [[Micromaster#Toys|Micromaster]] [[Off Road Patrol|Off Road]], [[Race Car Patrol|Race Car]] and [[Air Strike Patrol|Air Strike]] patrols were available in the UK in their "Micro Transformer" packaging.

===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 (all of the toys on this list have been found in both English stickered packaging and French/Dutch packaging):

===Italy===

Starting with the Pretenders, [[GiG]] finally dropped the small remainder of the old ''Trasformer'' logo from their packaging. The most interesting releases this year are the "Grandi Set Transformers" (also called "Superset Transformers" in the 1988 Christmas catalog), re-releases of the prior Combiner giftsets with a pack of five random "Exogini Transformers" ([[Decoy]]s) as a freebie.

Known Italian releases from 1988 are:

==1989==

===United Kingdom===

For the first time the UK received all of [[1989#U.S.|this year's new mainline western Transformers the same year they were released in the USA]]. Unfortunately this was also the first year the US had store exclusives, the [[Kmart|Kmart]] [[Legends_(G1)|Legends]] which the UK misses out on.

The [[Pretender_Monsters#toys|Pretender Monsters]] & [[Countdown (G1)|Countdown]] were Woolworths exclusives in 1989, with Countdown being more generally available the following year

Not shown on the pack in catalogue leaflet is [[The_Transformers_(European_toyline)#United_Kingdom_4|1988's]] [[Powermaster]] [[Optimus_Prime_(G1)/toys#PMOP|Optimus Prime]]. There is very strong evidence that this continues to be produced at least through 1989 with appearances in Argos catalogues into 1990 and boxed examples being found with the 1989 catalogue leaflet within.

===France, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Spain===

In 1989, all releases received French names, but not Dutch names. 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.

Confirmed releases include:

===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==
===Main Transformers Toyline===
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 releases, re-releases and exclusives in a pattern similar (if not exactly the same) to that of the European market; this would continue at least as far as ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]''.

Presumably, Germany got the UK versions of the 1990 [[Action Master]]s 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 include:

==="Classics" (Europe & Australasia)===

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, under the name "[[Classics (Europe)|Classics]]". Germany got the "Classics" toys in English packaging. Unlike the English and French/Dutch versions, the Italian and Spanish "Classics" don't actually say "Classic" anywhere on the packaging. The toys themselves are functionally identical to their original releases, complete with [[rubsign]]s. (Some toys released this year were altered the following year, but we'll talk about the details of that then.)

''Why'' this line happened is currently unknown, but there are several possibilities. It is known that the ''Transformers'' line was only ''just'' starting up in China (thanks to some legal shenanigans), and it appears the "Classics" toys were produced in the same Chinese factories, so the molds suddenly being available for production presented possibilities. It is unknown if Hasbro had originally intended for the toys to be released in the US market as well as in Europe, Australia and New Zealand, but the line's cancellation in the US killed that.

==1991==
===Main Transformers Toyline===
Although ''Transformers'' had come to a stop in the US, Hasbro continued releasing new toys to the European and Australasian markets. Following directly on from 1990's lineup was a number of new Action Masters, including an additional assortment of standard figures, figures with transforming exo-suit armour, and the infamously-paradoxical [[Action Master Elite]]s who could ''themselves'' transform. Again, Action Masters were available in English packaging in Germany.

The "Classic" range of older toys was also expanded with new and updated assortments, and was further complemented by a small quantity of toys from moulds previously exclusive to Japan—while these releases did not sport the "Classic" branding and had their own distinct box-back mural, they were released in the same style of gold packaging.

===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. As the rubsigns were the ''only'' faction symbols on the Throttlebots, they were replaced with paper Autobot symbol stickers.

==1992==
[[File:G1-thirdlogo.png|center|250px]]

[[File:G1Stalker toy.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.44|Predator [[Stalker (G1)#Toys|Stalker]] (with [[Snare#Toys|Snare]] attached in the lower-right)]]
'92 is when the European ''Transformers'' line really began to kick into high gear, even if the amount of product was a little on the light side. Hasbro produced new toys exclusively designed for the European market (though some did get imported to Japan), which had a far more cohesive design aesthetic than... well, the line ever had in its past. The Autobots trended towards brighter colors and generally had more "human" faces, and each one used bright-magenta fluorescent translucent plastic for vehicle-mode windscreens and a new innovation in the line, [[light-piping|light-piped]] eyes which appear to "glow" when light shines through them from behind. The Decepticons trended towards darker, cooler colors, their faces much more "robotic" (usually with facemasks and visor-eyes), and using bright-green translucent plastic for their canopies/optics. Both sides also included spring-loaded missile launchers, a [[gimmick]] that had been all but abandoned in Hasbro's markets due to more stringent [[for safety reasons|safety regulations for projectiles]] in the US.

Rounding out the year's product are a strange pair of re-released combiner teams ''lacking'' their combining ability... or individual names.

After this year, Hasbro decided European sales were good enough to [[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|try to revive ''Transformers'' in the US again]].<ref>[http://www.tfarchive.com/fandom/interviews/george_dunsay/george_dunsay_interview.php George Dunsay interview at TFArchive]: "At the time it was discontinued in the US, it was not a temporary decision. It is only after the success in Europe that the US people decided to reintroduce it"</ref>

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.

Confirmed releases include:

While Hasbro rolled out the new ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' toyline in the US, the European line continued under the original branding, with a slew of new all-new-mold toys, in the same style as the previous year's, with a variety of new gimmicks… though curiously with the "Generation 2" Autobot and Decepticon symbols applied to them. (A popular [[Misconceptions and urban legends about Transformers#Generation 2|rumor]] claims that this was due to the international licence for the original symbols having expired, which sounds highly dubious.) Some toys even got the "Autobot/Decepticon" text-stamp that was added to every ''Generation 2'' toy in the US.

On top of all these new molds, last year's Turbomasters, Predators, Rescue Force and Constructicons were still shipping to stores, making for quite a full assortment of toys for the final year of the original ''Transformers'' toyline globally. ''Salut!''

Many fans consider this year a sort of "Generation 1.5", further buoyed by the fact that all of the new molds got re-released in 1994 under the ''Generation 2'' branding in European markets.

The Transformers (European toyline)

2025-11-27T17:05:34Z

Payres: /* United Kingdom */ added notes on PMOp's probable survival

{{nav-G1}}

Originally, European countries got the same [[The Transformers (toyline)| ''The Transformers'']] toys [[Hasbro]] had previously released in the USA, although different countries got different toys (with a few getting regional manufacturers that'd in turn also produce a few occasional noticeable [[variant|variants]]). Initially, numerous sub-contracted companies were responsible for releasing the toys in the individual European countries (which involved [[multilingual packaging|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.

As the ''Transformers'' toyline faded in popularity across North America and Japan throughout the early 90s, the franchise conversely experienced a small parallel renaissance of sorts in Europe, with the region earning several unique figures during this time. After ''The Transformers'' toyline ended in the US, the line continued in Europe until it was renamed into ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)#|Generation 2]]'' in 1994, thus making Europe the only market where the toyline wasn't cancelled at any point.
{{picsneeded|GiG cars with ridiculous "bopper" missiles}}

==1984==
While ''The Transformers'' would not reach most of Europe until 1985, a number of the toys from the 1984 US line were also available in the UK the same year. Given that the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)#Marvel UK|Marvel UK comic]] launched in September '84 (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.

Little is known about the earliest toys released in the UK. Common consensus is that they came in English-only packaging virtually indistinguishable from the US packaging. Recounts of which toys were and weren't available in the UK vary depending on who you ask. A surprising confirmed omission from the initial wave of 1984 toys is [[Megatron (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Megatron]], whose absence on the shelves was even noted in the letters page of the Marvel UK comic. Also of note is that the line's UK tag-line initially was "''Warrior'' Robots in Disguise", seen in the comic and on much of the early ancillary merchandise.

The assortment names used below are those seen in the leaflet which accompanied the 1984 range.

{{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.}}

==1985==
The ''Transformers'' toy line officially started in most European countries in 1985. It should be noted, though, that various European companies had already released licensed versions of [[TakaraTomy|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; Takara themselves released ''Diaclone'' in Finland). Some of the toys in those lines sported Hasbro-series changes, including color schemes and even Autobot symbols(!), as Takara was already shifting production of the toys from ''Diaclone'' to their own domestic release of ''Transformers''. But it wasn't until 1985 that ''Transformers'' toys were ''officially'' introduced to the various European markets under that name.

===United Kingdom===

All 1984 toys were still available in 1985, now with the addition of [[rubsign]]s. 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. Alongside with a variation of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Optimus Prime]] that sported red instead of blue feet, Megatron was manufactured by French company Ceji as part of a deal with Hasbro, and the red-footed version of Optimus Prime was also released by [[Milton Bradley]] in mainland Europe (see below).<ref name="redfoot1">[http://www.tf-1.com/articles/eurous_frame.php?art=redfoot "Red Footed Optimus Prime"] at TF-1.com</ref><ref name="mbjoustra">[http://20thcenturytoycollector.com/mb-transformers-part-4/ "The MB & Joustra Connection"] at 20th Century Toy Collector</ref>

Oddly, numerous toys were left out of the UK range, never to see official release: notably [[Swoop (G1)/toys#Toys|Swoop]], [[Shockwave (G1)/toys#Toys|Shockwave]] and [[Blaster (G1)/toys#Toys|Blaster]]. The [[Constructicon (G1)#Toys|Constructicon]]s were also missing; in the early 90s they got a semi-official import release, and a de-combiner'ed [[redeco]] release ([[The_Transformers_(European_toyline)#1992|see "1992" below]]). Some of the non-Takara sculpts were likely dropped due to licensing arrangements ([[Omega Supreme (G1)#Toys|Omega Supreme]], for example, was available as part of the competing Grandstand ''Convertors'' line around this time as "Omegatron"). Due to his absence from the 1985 Hasbro [[catalog]], [[Jetfire (G1)/toys#Toys|Jetfire]] has long been believed to have been held over until the 1986 range, but he was featured in the Autumn 1985 Argos catalog.<ref name="argos85">[http://issuu.com/retromash/docs/argos-no24-1985-autumn Fall 1985 Argos catalog] at Issuu.com.</ref>)

===Germany, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain===
<center>[[File:Milton_Bradley_logo.png|140px||link=Milton Bradley]] [[File:Joustra1.jpg|200px||link=Joustra]]</center>
{{main|Joustra}}

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 German, French, Dutch and Spanish text. Therefore, MB covered the markets where Joustra's ''Diaclone'' toys were previously available, with the addition of Spain. The first wave of MB-branded toys was a rather odd selection, a result of Joustra holding the rights to many of the remaining toys, among them Optimus Prime. As a consequence, Jetfire was initially marketed as Autobot leader. Following a deal between Hasbro Bradley and Joustra's struggling parent company Ceji, a large amount of unsold Joustra toys were ''literally'' repackaged and released as the second wave of MB ''Transformers''.<ref name="mbjoustra"/>

Special Note: the tech specs feature inconsistencies for the Dutch (Functie / Funktie) & Spanish (Función / Cometido) across the line. Usage appears to be figure consistent, meaning you will only see use of one or the other within the wave.

An odd one-off addition to the 1985 French Transformers offering was [[Horloge Robot]], a small robot that splits into 14 different vehicles and features a working watch on his chest, released by [[AVI France]] in collaboration with [[wikipedia:Canal+ (French TV channel)|Canal+]]. Weirdly enough, he is none other than a repackaging of a common bootleg of ''[[Diaclone]]'' [[Diaclone#Gats Blocker|Gats Blocker]], now released under the official ''Transformers'' brand... For some reason.

{{main|GiG}}
[[GiG]] ("Geegh", but sometimes misspelled "GiGi") originally released licensed ''Diaclone'' toys under the name "[[Trasformer]]", occasionally sporting color schemes only found on Hasbro's ''Transformers'' versions (very likely because Takara was shifting production of the toys from ''Diaclone'' to ''Transformers'' at the time). Whether it was pressure from Hasbro or a mere marketing decision, GiG eventually acquired an additional license from Hasbro and 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").<ref name="chicken">[http://tfsource.com/blog/the-chicken-or-the-gig-part-1/ "The Chicken or the Gig?", Part 1] and [http://tfsource.com/blog/the-chicken-or-the-gig-part-2/ Part 2] at TFSource</ref> In addition to the official ''Transformers'' logo, a small remainder of the old ''Trasformer'' logo would remain on the packaging until 1987.

Speaking of ''Trasformer'' remnants, the "Autorobot Cars" and the "Distructor Planes" all sported unique "safety" missiles with large rubber boppers on the end instead of the individual missiles the versions released everywhere else had.

The [[Mini-Vehicle|Autobot Minicars/Mini Vehicles]] were apparently never released by GiG. The Italian names for their characters come from the Italian dub of the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|animated series]].

==1986==
===United Kingdom===

1986 was the first year that the UK lost toys that had been available in previous years. 4 cars survived from the initial 1984 [[Autobot#Generation_1_.2F_Beast_Era|Autobot]] car assortment, none from the 1984 Autobot cars held over till 1985 in the UK and 6 of the 7 new 1985 cars: [[Skids_(G1)#Generation_1|Skids]] misses out on a second year of availability. 5 of the six original [[Mini-Vehicle|Minibots]] are gone, only [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys|Bumblebee]] survives. Gone are the [[Mini-Cassette|tape]] 2 packs, although they continue till 1988 in the US line, as are [[Soundwave (G1)/toys|Soundwave]] & [[Buzzsaw (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Buzzsaw]]].

The catalogue does not show [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]] & [[Megatron (G1)/toys|Megatron]] - at one point the Transformers UK comic claimed they were still available in 1986.

The catalogue also does not show [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys|Rodimus Prime]] & [[Wreck-Gar (G1)|Wreck-Gar]]: they make a very late appearance on UK shelves towards the end of 1986 tying in with the release of Transformers The Movie.

Missing from the Hasbro UK releases are the [[Predacon_(G1)#toys|Predacons]] & [[Gnaw (G1)#toys|Gnaw]], [[Sky Lynx (G1)#Toys|Sky Lynx]], [[Trypticon (G1)#Toys|Trypticon]], who was seen "[[parallel_import|grey imported]]" at the time, and the Autobot [[Mini-Cassette|tapes]] & [[Ratbat (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Ratbat]] / [[Frenzy (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Frenzy]], who later had Chinese stock grey imports in the early 1990s.

Confirmed UK Hasbro releases from 1986 are:

===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 ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|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:

===Italy===

[[GiG]] was still doing their own thing at this point, with a bit of mix of Hasbro and Takara-style packaging. Notably, GiG's versions of the Aeriabolts, Protectobots, Stunticons and Combaticons came in boxes based on the Takara versions (including prominent "C" and "D" numbers and "Takara" instead of "Hasbro" logos), just like the previous year's Constructicons. 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.

===Greece===
[[File:ElGreco-Logo.png|center|125px|link=El Greco]]
{{main|El Greco}}

[[El Greco]] manufactured and released a small number of ''Transformers'' toys to the Greek market, with the only known El Greco releases this year being seven Autobot Mini-Vehicles. These are mostly identical to their international versions safe for a few minor coloration differences, with the used plastics generally being a bit brighter or darker than their Hasbro and Joustra equivalents. The cards the toys were available on were based on the Hasbro cards but fully translated to Greek (including the character names) and sported Hasbro logos in addition to the "El Greco" logo.

It's not entirely clear when exactly the following toys were first available in Greece; however, they couldn't have been released before 1986, since they depict the "[[Decipher the Decepticon]]" poster artwork on the back of their cards.

==1987==
===United Kingdom===
In the UK in 1987 the line lost all the pre 1986 toys. Most of the new toys for 1986 survive apart from the [[Mini-Vehicle|Minibot]] & [[Battlecharger]] assortments. As per the [[1987#US|main US line]] the cars & planes introduced in 1986 received a [[Targetmaster_(technology)|Targetmaster]] upgrade

[[Fortress_Maximus_(G1)#Generation_1|Fortress Maximius]] was not offered for sale through Hasbro UK but a number were given away as colouring competition prizes: a toy promoting this was on display in Hamley's in Regents Street, London, well into the 1990s.

Also missing in the UK were the new [[Decepticon#Generation_1_continuity_family|Decepticon]] [[Mini-Cassette|tapes]], both factions' [[Clone_(subgroup)|Clones]], [[Punch_(G1)#Toys|Doublespy Punch/Countepunch]], [[Sixshot_(G1)|Sixshot]] and [[Monsterbot_(G1)|the Monsterbots]]. Sixshot, the Decepticon Clones and Punch/Counterpunch would later be sold in the UK as Chinese Grey Imports in the early 1990s as would the standard size Autobot & Decepticon [[Headmaster_(technology)|Headmasters]].

===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:

{{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.}}

===Italy===

[[GiG]] continued to have their own slightly-different take on ''Transformers'', mainly in packaging; the "Racerbots" (Throttlebots), "Tecnobots" and "Terrorbots" (it should be obvious) came in Takara-styled boxes complete with Japanese ID numbers. "Tundertron" (Abominus) was available as a giftset even though Hasbro hadn't released the toys in that form in the USA; the box layout was again based very closely on the standard Hasbro combiner giftsets at that time, but lacking the Hasbro logo, and sporting the toys' Takara ID numbers. The "Tecnobot" and "Terrorbot" advertisement flyers depict Scattershot and Hun-Gurrr erroneously wearing their respective combiner heads in their uncombined robot modes. The Monsterbots' boxes were based on the Hasbro versions, but sported "Takara" instead of "Hasbro" logos and Takara ID numbers.

==1988==
===United Kingdom===
In 1988 all the previously available toys were eliminated from the catalogue, but there are hints, in the Argos catalogue and elsewhere, that some may have continued to be distributed. There is some debate as to if the [[Triggerbot|Triggerbots]] & [[Triggercon|Triggercons]] were available in the UK in 1988: they are not shown on the catalogue.

As in previous years, the new US released [[Mini-Cassette|tapes]] were not offered in the UK. The UK also missed out on the "second wave" US [[Pretender#Toys|Pretenders]]: [[Autobot#Generation_1_.2F_Beast_Era|Autobots]] [[Groundbreaker#Toys|Groundbreaker]], [[Sky High (Pretender)#Toys|Sky High]] and [[Splashdown#Toys|Splashdown]], and [[Decepticon#Generation_1_continuity_family|Decepticons]] [[Bugly (G1)#Toys|Bugly]], [[Finback#Toys|Finback]] & [[Iguanus (G1)#Toys|Iguanus]].

The [[Pretender Vehicle|Pretender Vehicles]] were a Woolworths exclusive in 1988 before becoming more generally available in 1989.

Towards the end of the year, the [[Micromaster#Toys|Micromaster]] [[Off Road Patrol|Off Road]], [[Race Car Patrol|Race Car]] and [[Air Strike Patrol|Air Strike]] patrols were available in the UK in their "Micro Transformer" packaging.

===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 (all of the toys on this list have been found in both English stickered packaging and French/Dutch packaging):

===Italy===

Starting with the Pretenders, [[GiG]] finally dropped the small remainder of the old ''Trasformer'' logo from their packaging. The most interesting releases this year are the "Grandi Set Transformers" (also called "Superset Transformers" in the 1988 Christmas catalog), re-releases of the prior Combiner giftsets with a pack of five random "Exogini Transformers" ([[Decoy]]s) as a freebie.

Known Italian releases from 1988 are:

==1989==

===United Kingdom===

For the first time the UK received all of [[1989#U.S.|this year's new mainline western Transformers the same year they were released in the USA]]. Unfortunately this was also the first year the US had store exclusives, the [[Kmart|Kmart]] [[Legends_(G1)|Legends]] which the UK misses out on.

The [[Pretender_Monsters#toys|Pretender Monsters]] & [[Countdown (G1)|Countdown]] were Woolworths exclusives in 1989, with Countdown being more generally available the following year

Not shown on the pack in catalogue leaflet is [[The_Transformers_(European_toyline)#United_Kingdom_4|1988's]] [[Powermaster]] [[Optimus_Prime_(G1)/toys#PMOP|Optimus Prime]]. There is very strong evidence that this continues to be produced at least through 1989 with appearances in Argos catalogues into 1990 and boxed examples being found with the 1989 catalogue leaflet within.

===France, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Spain===

In 1989, all releases received French names, but not Dutch names. 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.

Confirmed releases include:

===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==
===Main Transformers Toyline===
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 releases, re-releases and exclusives in a pattern similar (if not exactly the same) to that of the European market; this would continue at least as far as ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]''.

Presumably, Germany got the UK versions of the 1990 [[Action Master]]s 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 include:

==="Classics" (Europe & Australasia)===

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, under the name "[[Classics (Europe)|Classics]]". Germany got the "Classics" toys in English packaging. Unlike the English and French/Dutch versions, the Italian and Spanish "Classics" don't actually say "Classic" anywhere on the packaging. The toys themselves are functionally identical to their original releases, complete with [[rubsign]]s. (Some toys released this year were altered the following year, but we'll talk about the details of that then.)

''Why'' this line happened is currently unknown, but there are several possibilities. It is known that the ''Transformers'' line was only ''just'' starting up in China (thanks to some legal shenanigans), and it appears the "Classics" toys were produced in the same Chinese factories, so the molds suddenly being available for production presented possibilities. It is unknown if Hasbro had originally intended for the toys to be released in the US market as well as in Europe, Australia and New Zealand, but the line's cancellation in the US killed that.

==1991==
===Main Transformers Toyline===
Although ''Transformers'' had come to a stop in the US, Hasbro continued releasing new toys to the European and Australasian markets. Following directly on from 1990's lineup was a number of new Action Masters, including an additional assortment of standard figures, figures with transforming exo-suit armour, and the infamously-paradoxical [[Action Master Elite]]s who could ''themselves'' transform. Again, Action Masters were available in English packaging in Germany.

The "Classic" range of older toys was also expanded with new and updated assortments, and was further complemented by a small quantity of toys from moulds previously exclusive to Japan—while these releases did not sport the "Classic" branding and had their own distinct box-back mural, they were released in the same style of gold packaging.

===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. As the rubsigns were the ''only'' faction symbols on the Throttlebots, they were replaced with paper Autobot symbol stickers.

'92 is when the European ''Transformers'' line really began to kick into high gear, even if the amount of product was a little on the light side. Hasbro produced new toys exclusively designed for the European market (though some did get imported to Japan), which had a far more cohesive design aesthetic than... well, the line ever had in its past. The Autobots trended towards brighter colors and generally had more "human" faces, and each one used bright-magenta fluorescent translucent plastic for vehicle-mode windscreens and a new innovation in the line, [[light-piping|light-piped]] eyes which appear to "glow" when light shines through them from behind. The Decepticons trended towards darker, cooler colors, their faces much more "robotic" (usually with facemasks and visor-eyes), and using bright-green translucent plastic for their canopies/optics. Both sides also included spring-loaded missile launchers, a [[gimmick]] that had been all but abandoned in Hasbro's markets due to more stringent [[for safety reasons|safety regulations for projectiles]] in the US.

Rounding out the year's product are a strange pair of re-released combiner teams ''lacking'' their combining ability... or individual names.

After this year, Hasbro decided European sales were good enough to [[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|try to revive ''Transformers'' in the US again]].<ref>[http://www.tfarchive.com/fandom/interviews/george_dunsay/george_dunsay_interview.php George Dunsay interview at TFArchive]: "At the time it was discontinued in the US, it was not a temporary decision. It is only after the success in Europe that the US people decided to reintroduce it"</ref>

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.

Confirmed releases include:

While Hasbro rolled out the new ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' toyline in the US, the European line continued under the original branding, with a slew of new all-new-mold toys, in the same style as the previous year's, with a variety of new gimmicks… though curiously with the "Generation 2" Autobot and Decepticon symbols applied to them. (A popular [[Misconceptions and urban legends about Transformers#Generation 2|rumor]] claims that this was due to the international licence for the original symbols having expired, which sounds highly dubious.) Some toys even got the "Autobot/Decepticon" text-stamp that was added to every ''Generation 2'' toy in the US.

On top of all these new molds, last year's Turbomasters, Predators, Rescue Force and Constructicons were still shipping to stores, making for quite a full assortment of toys for the final year of the original ''Transformers'' toyline globally. ''Salut!''

Many fans consider this year a sort of "Generation 1.5", further buoyed by the fact that all of the new molds got re-released in 1994 under the ''Generation 2'' branding in European markets.

The Transformers (European toyline)

2025-11-27T16:49:04Z

Payres: /* United Kingdom */

{{nav-G1}}

Originally, European countries got the same [[The Transformers (toyline)| ''The Transformers'']] toys [[Hasbro]] had previously released in the USA, although different countries got different toys (with a few getting regional manufacturers that'd in turn also produce a few occasional noticeable [[variant|variants]]). Initially, numerous sub-contracted companies were responsible for releasing the toys in the individual European countries (which involved [[multilingual packaging|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.

As the ''Transformers'' toyline faded in popularity across North America and Japan throughout the early 90s, the franchise conversely experienced a small parallel renaissance of sorts in Europe, with the region earning several unique figures during this time. After ''The Transformers'' toyline ended in the US, the line continued in Europe until it was renamed into ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)#|Generation 2]]'' in 1994, thus making Europe the only market where the toyline wasn't cancelled at any point.
{{picsneeded|GiG cars with ridiculous "bopper" missiles}}

==1984==
While ''The Transformers'' would not reach most of Europe until 1985, a number of the toys from the 1984 US line were also available in the UK the same year. Given that the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)#Marvel UK|Marvel UK comic]] launched in September '84 (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.

Little is known about the earliest toys released in the UK. Common consensus is that they came in English-only packaging virtually indistinguishable from the US packaging. Recounts of which toys were and weren't available in the UK vary depending on who you ask. A surprising confirmed omission from the initial wave of 1984 toys is [[Megatron (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Megatron]], whose absence on the shelves was even noted in the letters page of the Marvel UK comic. Also of note is that the line's UK tag-line initially was "''Warrior'' Robots in Disguise", seen in the comic and on much of the early ancillary merchandise.

The assortment names used below are those seen in the leaflet which accompanied the 1984 range.

{{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.}}

==1985==
The ''Transformers'' toy line officially started in most European countries in 1985. It should be noted, though, that various European companies had already released licensed versions of [[TakaraTomy|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; Takara themselves released ''Diaclone'' in Finland). Some of the toys in those lines sported Hasbro-series changes, including color schemes and even Autobot symbols(!), as Takara was already shifting production of the toys from ''Diaclone'' to their own domestic release of ''Transformers''. But it wasn't until 1985 that ''Transformers'' toys were ''officially'' introduced to the various European markets under that name.

===United Kingdom===

All 1984 toys were still available in 1985, now with the addition of [[rubsign]]s. 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. Alongside with a variation of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Optimus Prime]] that sported red instead of blue feet, Megatron was manufactured by French company Ceji as part of a deal with Hasbro, and the red-footed version of Optimus Prime was also released by [[Milton Bradley]] in mainland Europe (see below).<ref name="redfoot1">[http://www.tf-1.com/articles/eurous_frame.php?art=redfoot "Red Footed Optimus Prime"] at TF-1.com</ref><ref name="mbjoustra">[http://20thcenturytoycollector.com/mb-transformers-part-4/ "The MB & Joustra Connection"] at 20th Century Toy Collector</ref>

Oddly, numerous toys were left out of the UK range, never to see official release: notably [[Swoop (G1)/toys#Toys|Swoop]], [[Shockwave (G1)/toys#Toys|Shockwave]] and [[Blaster (G1)/toys#Toys|Blaster]]. The [[Constructicon (G1)#Toys|Constructicon]]s were also missing; in the early 90s they got a semi-official import release, and a de-combiner'ed [[redeco]] release ([[The_Transformers_(European_toyline)#1992|see "1992" below]]). Some of the non-Takara sculpts were likely dropped due to licensing arrangements ([[Omega Supreme (G1)#Toys|Omega Supreme]], for example, was available as part of the competing Grandstand ''Convertors'' line around this time as "Omegatron"). Due to his absence from the 1985 Hasbro [[catalog]], [[Jetfire (G1)/toys#Toys|Jetfire]] has long been believed to have been held over until the 1986 range, but he was featured in the Autumn 1985 Argos catalog.<ref name="argos85">[http://issuu.com/retromash/docs/argos-no24-1985-autumn Fall 1985 Argos catalog] at Issuu.com.</ref>)

<center>[[File:Milton_Bradley_logo.png|140px||link=Milton Bradley]] [[File:Joustra1.jpg|200px||link=Joustra]]</center>
{{main|Joustra}}

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 German, French, Dutch and Spanish text. Therefore, MB covered the markets where Joustra's ''Diaclone'' toys were previously available, with the addition of Spain. The first wave of MB-branded toys was a rather odd selection, a result of Joustra holding the rights to many of the remaining toys, among them Optimus Prime. As a consequence, Jetfire was initially marketed as Autobot leader. Following a deal between Hasbro Bradley and Joustra's struggling parent company Ceji, a large amount of unsold Joustra toys were ''literally'' repackaged and released as the second wave of MB ''Transformers''.<ref name="mbjoustra"/>

Special Note: the tech specs feature inconsistencies for the Dutch (Functie / Funktie) & Spanish (Función / Cometido) across the line. Usage appears to be figure consistent, meaning you will only see use of one or the other within the wave.

An odd one-off addition to the 1985 French Transformers offering was [[Horloge Robot]], a small robot that splits into 14 different vehicles and features a working watch on his chest, released by [[AVI France]] in collaboration with [[wikipedia:Canal+ (French TV channel)|Canal+]]. Weirdly enough, he is none other than a repackaging of a common bootleg of ''[[Diaclone]]'' [[Diaclone#Gats Blocker|Gats Blocker]], now released under the official ''Transformers'' brand... For some reason.

{{main|GiG}}
[[GiG]] ("Geegh", but sometimes misspelled "GiGi") originally released licensed ''Diaclone'' toys under the name "[[Trasformer]]", occasionally sporting color schemes only found on Hasbro's ''Transformers'' versions (very likely because Takara was shifting production of the toys from ''Diaclone'' to ''Transformers'' at the time). Whether it was pressure from Hasbro or a mere marketing decision, GiG eventually acquired an additional license from Hasbro and 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").<ref name="chicken">[http://tfsource.com/blog/the-chicken-or-the-gig-part-1/ "The Chicken or the Gig?", Part 1] and [http://tfsource.com/blog/the-chicken-or-the-gig-part-2/ Part 2] at TFSource</ref> In addition to the official ''Transformers'' logo, a small remainder of the old ''Trasformer'' logo would remain on the packaging until 1987.

Speaking of ''Trasformer'' remnants, the "Autorobot Cars" and the "Distructor Planes" all sported unique "safety" missiles with large rubber boppers on the end instead of the individual missiles the versions released everywhere else had.

The [[Mini-Vehicle|Autobot Minicars/Mini Vehicles]] were apparently never released by GiG. The Italian names for their characters come from the Italian dub of the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|animated series]].

==1986==
===United Kingdom===

1986 was the first year that the UK lost toys that had been available in previous years. 4 cars survived from the initial 1984 [[Autobot#Generation_1_.2F_Beast_Era|Autobot]] car assortment, none from the 1984 Autobot cars held over till 1985 in the UK and 6 of the 7 new 1985 cars: [[Skids_(G1)#Generation_1|Skids]] misses out on a second year of availability. 5 of the six original [[Mini-Vehicle|Minibots]] are gone, only [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys|Bumblebee]] survives. Gone are the [[Mini-Cassette|tape]] 2 packs, although they continue till 1988 in the US line, as are [[Soundwave (G1)/toys|Soundwave]] & [[Buzzsaw (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Buzzsaw]]].

The catalogue does not show [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]] & [[Megatron (G1)/toys|Megatron]] - at one point the Transformers UK comic claimed they were still available in 1986.

The catalogue also does not show [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys|Rodimus Prime]] & [[Wreck-Gar (G1)|Wreck-Gar]]: they make a very late appearance on UK shelves towards the end of 1986 tying in with the release of Transformers The Movie.

Missing from the Hasbro UK releases are the [[Predacon_(G1)#toys|Predacons]] & [[Gnaw (G1)#toys|Gnaw]], [[Sky Lynx (G1)#Toys|Sky Lynx]], [[Trypticon (G1)#Toys|Trypticon]], who was seen "[[parallel_import|grey imported]]" at the time, and the Autobot [[Mini-Cassette|tapes]] & [[Ratbat (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Ratbat]] / [[Frenzy (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Frenzy]], who later had Chinese stock grey imports in the early 1990s.

===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 ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|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).

===Italy===

[[GiG]] was still doing their own thing at this point, with a bit of mix of Hasbro and Takara-style packaging. Notably, GiG's versions of the Aeriabolts, Protectobots, Stunticons and Combaticons came in boxes based on the Takara versions (including prominent "C" and "D" numbers and "Takara" instead of "Hasbro" logos), just like the previous year's Constructicons. 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.

Known Italian releases of 1986 toys are:

===Greece===
[[File:ElGreco-Logo.png|center|125px|link=El Greco]]
{{main|El Greco}}

[[El Greco]] manufactured and released a small number of ''Transformers'' toys to the Greek market, with the only known El Greco releases this year being seven Autobot Mini-Vehicles. These are mostly identical to their international versions safe for a few minor coloration differences, with the used plastics generally being a bit brighter or darker than their Hasbro and Joustra equivalents. The cards the toys were available on were based on the Hasbro cards but fully translated to Greek (including the character names) and sported Hasbro logos in addition to the "El Greco" logo.

It's not entirely clear when exactly the following toys were first available in Greece; however, they couldn't have been released before 1986, since they depict the "[[Decipher the Decepticon]]" poster artwork on the back of their cards.

==1987==
===United Kingdom===
In the UK in 1987 the line lost all the pre 1986 toys. Most of the new toys for 1986 survive apart from the [[Mini-Vehicle|Minibot]] & [[Battlecharger]] assortments. As per the [[1987#US|main US line]] the cars & planes introduced in 1986 received a [[Targetmaster_(technology)|Targetmaster]] upgrade

[[Fortress_Maximus_(G1)#Generation_1|Fortress Maximius]] was not offered for sale through Hasbro UK but a number were given away as colouring competition prizes: a toy promoting this was on display in Hamley's in Regents Street, London, well into the 1990s.

Also missing in the UK were the new [[Decepticon#Generation_1_continuity_family|Decepticon]] [[Mini-Cassette|tapes]], both factions' [[Clone_(subgroup)|Clones]], [[Punch_(G1)#Toys|Doublespy Punch/Countepunch]], [[Sixshot_(G1)|Sixshot]] and [[Monsterbot_(G1)|the Monsterbots]]. Sixshot, the Decepticon Clones and Punch/Counterpunch would later be sold in the UK as Chinese Grey Imports in the early 1990s as would the standard size Autobot & Decepticon [[Headmaster_(technology)|Headmasters]].

===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:

{{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.}}

===Italy===

[[GiG]] continued to have their own slightly-different take on ''Transformers'', mainly in packaging; the "Racerbots" (Throttlebots), "Tecnobots" and "Terrorbots" (it should be obvious) came in Takara-styled boxes complete with Japanese ID numbers. "Tundertron" (Abominus) was available as a giftset even though Hasbro hadn't released the toys in that form in the USA; the box layout was again based very closely on the standard Hasbro combiner giftsets at that time, but lacking the Hasbro logo, and sporting the toys' Takara ID numbers. The "Tecnobot" and "Terrorbot" advertisement flyers depict Scattershot and Hun-Gurrr erroneously wearing their respective combiner heads in their uncombined robot modes. The Monsterbots' boxes were based on the Hasbro versions, but sported "Takara" instead of "Hasbro" logos and Takara ID numbers.

==1988==
===United Kingdom===
In 1988 all the previously available toys were eliminated from the catalogue, but there are hints, in the Argos catalogue and elsewhere, that some may have continued to be distributed. There is some debate as to if the [[Triggerbot|Triggerbots]] & [[Triggercon|Triggercons]] were available in the UK in 1988: they are not shown on the catalogue.

As in previous years, the new US released [[Mini-Cassette|tapes]] were not offered in the UK. The UK also missed out on the "second wave" US [[Pretender#Toys|Pretenders]]: [[Autobot#Generation_1_.2F_Beast_Era|Autobots]] [[Groundbreaker#Toys|Groundbreaker]], [[Sky High (Pretender)#Toys|Sky High]] and [[Splashdown#Toys|Splashdown]], and [[Decepticon#Generation_1_continuity_family|Decepticons]] [[Bugly (G1)#Toys|Bugly]], [[Finback#Toys|Finback]] & [[Iguanus (G1)#Toys|Iguanus]].

The [[Pretender Vehicle|Pretender Vehicles]] were a Woolworths exclusive in 1988 before becoming more generally available in 1989.

Towards the end of the year, the [[Micromaster#Toys|Micromaster]] [[Off Road Patrol|Off Road]], [[Race Car Patrol|Race Car]] and [[Air Strike Patrol|Air Strike]] patrols were available in the UK in their "Micro Transformer" packaging.

===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 (all of the toys on this list have been found in both English stickered packaging and French/Dutch packaging):

===Italy===

Starting with the Pretenders, [[GiG]] finally dropped the small remainder of the old ''Trasformer'' logo from their packaging. The most interesting releases this year are the "Grandi Set Transformers" (also called "Superset Transformers" in the 1988 Christmas catalog), re-releases of the prior Combiner giftsets with a pack of five random "Exogini Transformers" ([[Decoy]]s) as a freebie.

Known Italian releases from 1988 are:

==1989==

===United Kingdom===

For the first time the UK received all of [[1989#U.S.|this year's new western Transformers the same year they were released in the USA]].

The [[Pretender_Monsters#toys|Pretender Monsters]] & [[Countdown (G1)|Countdown]] were Woolworths exclusives in 1989, with Countdown being more generally available the following year

===France, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Spain===

In 1989, all releases received French names, but not Dutch names. 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.

Confirmed releases include:

===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==
===Main Transformers Toyline===
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 releases, re-releases and exclusives in a pattern similar (if not exactly the same) to that of the European market; this would continue at least as far as ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]''.

Presumably, Germany got the UK versions of the 1990 [[Action Master]]s 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 include:

==="Classics" (Europe & Australasia)===

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, under the name "[[Classics (Europe)|Classics]]". Germany got the "Classics" toys in English packaging. Unlike the English and French/Dutch versions, the Italian and Spanish "Classics" don't actually say "Classic" anywhere on the packaging. The toys themselves are functionally identical to their original releases, complete with [[rubsign]]s. (Some toys released this year were altered the following year, but we'll talk about the details of that then.)

''Why'' this line happened is currently unknown, but there are several possibilities. It is known that the ''Transformers'' line was only ''just'' starting up in China (thanks to some legal shenanigans), and it appears the "Classics" toys were produced in the same Chinese factories, so the molds suddenly being available for production presented possibilities. It is unknown if Hasbro had originally intended for the toys to be released in the US market as well as in Europe, Australia and New Zealand, but the line's cancellation in the US killed that.

Confirmed European/Australasian "Classic" releases from 1990:<ref>http://www.fredsworkshop.com/veurolist.html</ref>

==1991==
===Main Transformers Toyline===
Although ''Transformers'' had come to a stop in the US, Hasbro continued releasing new toys to the European and Australasian markets. Following directly on from 1990's lineup was a number of new Action Masters, including an additional assortment of standard figures, figures with transforming exo-suit armour, and the infamously-paradoxical [[Action Master Elite]]s who could ''themselves'' transform. Again, Action Masters were available in English packaging in Germany.

The "Classic" range of older toys was also expanded with new and updated assortments, and was further complemented by a small quantity of toys from moulds previously exclusive to Japan—while these releases did not sport the "Classic" branding and had their own distinct box-back mural, they were released in the same style of gold packaging.

Confirmed releases include:

===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. As the rubsigns were the ''only'' faction symbols on the Throttlebots, they were replaced with paper Autobot symbol stickers.

==1992==
[[File:G1-thirdlogo.png|center|250px]]

[[File:G1Stalker toy.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.44|Predator [[Stalker (G1)#Toys|Stalker]] (with [[Snare#Toys|Snare]] attached in the lower-right)]]
'92 is when the European ''Transformers'' line really began to kick into high gear, even if the amount of product was a little on the light side. Hasbro produced new toys exclusively designed for the European market (though some did get imported to Japan), which had a far more cohesive design aesthetic than... well, the line ever had in its past. The Autobots trended towards brighter colors and generally had more "human" faces, and each one used bright-magenta fluorescent translucent plastic for vehicle-mode windscreens and a new innovation in the line, [[light-piping|light-piped]] eyes which appear to "glow" when light shines through them from behind. The Decepticons trended towards darker, cooler colors, their faces much more "robotic" (usually with facemasks and visor-eyes), and using bright-green translucent plastic for their canopies/optics. Both sides also included spring-loaded missile launchers, a [[gimmick]] that had been all but abandoned in Hasbro's markets due to more stringent [[for safety reasons|safety regulations for projectiles]] in the US.

Rounding out the year's product are a strange pair of re-released combiner teams ''lacking'' their combining ability... or individual names.

After this year, Hasbro decided European sales were good enough to [[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|try to revive ''Transformers'' in the US again]].<ref>[http://www.tfarchive.com/fandom/interviews/george_dunsay/george_dunsay_interview.php George Dunsay interview at TFArchive]: "At the time it was discontinued in the US, it was not a temporary decision. It is only after the success in Europe that the US people decided to reintroduce it"</ref>

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.

Confirmed releases include:

[[File:G1Trakkon-MISB.jpg|right|215px|thumb|Trakkon Calcar in packaging.]]
While Hasbro rolled out the new ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' toyline in the US, the European line continued under the original branding, with a slew of new all-new-mold toys, in the same style as the previous year's, with a variety of new gimmicks… though curiously with the "Generation 2" Autobot and Decepticon symbols applied to them. (A popular [[Misconceptions and urban legends about Transformers#Generation 2|rumor]] claims that this was due to the international licence for the original symbols having expired, which sounds highly dubious.) Some toys even got the "Autobot/Decepticon" text-stamp that was added to every ''Generation 2'' toy in the US.

On top of all these new molds, last year's Turbomasters, Predators, Rescue Force and Constructicons were still shipping to stores, making for quite a full assortment of toys for the final year of the original ''Transformers'' toyline globally. ''Salut!''

Many fans consider this year a sort of "Generation 1.5", further buoyed by the fact that all of the new molds got re-released in 1994 under the ''Generation 2'' branding in European markets.

The Transformers (European toyline)

2025-11-27T16:46:19Z

Payres: /* United Kingdom */ corrected error in 1986 Autobot cars

{{nav-G1}}

Originally, European countries got the same [[The Transformers (toyline)| ''The Transformers'']] toys [[Hasbro]] had previously released in the USA, although different countries got different toys (with a few getting regional manufacturers that'd in turn also produce a few occasional noticeable [[variant|variants]]). Initially, numerous sub-contracted companies were responsible for releasing the toys in the individual European countries (which involved [[multilingual packaging|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.

As the ''Transformers'' toyline faded in popularity across North America and Japan throughout the early 90s, the franchise conversely experienced a small parallel renaissance of sorts in Europe, with the region earning several unique figures during this time. After ''The Transformers'' toyline ended in the US, the line continued in Europe until it was renamed into ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)#|Generation 2]]'' in 1994, thus making Europe the only market where the toyline wasn't cancelled at any point.
{{picsneeded|GiG cars with ridiculous "bopper" missiles}}

==1984==
While ''The Transformers'' would not reach most of Europe until 1985, a number of the toys from the 1984 US line were also available in the UK the same year. Given that the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)#Marvel UK|Marvel UK comic]] launched in September '84 (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.

Little is known about the earliest toys released in the UK. Common consensus is that they came in English-only packaging virtually indistinguishable from the US packaging. Recounts of which toys were and weren't available in the UK vary depending on who you ask. A surprising confirmed omission from the initial wave of 1984 toys is [[Megatron (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Megatron]], whose absence on the shelves was even noted in the letters page of the Marvel UK comic. Also of note is that the line's UK tag-line initially was "''Warrior'' Robots in Disguise", seen in the comic and on much of the early ancillary merchandise.

The assortment names used below are those seen in the leaflet which accompanied the 1984 range.

{{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.}}

==1985==
The ''Transformers'' toy line officially started in most European countries in 1985. It should be noted, though, that various European companies had already released licensed versions of [[TakaraTomy|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; Takara themselves released ''Diaclone'' in Finland). Some of the toys in those lines sported Hasbro-series changes, including color schemes and even Autobot symbols(!), as Takara was already shifting production of the toys from ''Diaclone'' to their own domestic release of ''Transformers''. But it wasn't until 1985 that ''Transformers'' toys were ''officially'' introduced to the various European markets under that name.

===United Kingdom===

All 1984 toys were still available in 1985, now with the addition of [[rubsign]]s. 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. Alongside with a variation of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Optimus Prime]] that sported red instead of blue feet, Megatron was manufactured by French company Ceji as part of a deal with Hasbro, and the red-footed version of Optimus Prime was also released by [[Milton Bradley]] in mainland Europe (see below).<ref name="redfoot1">[http://www.tf-1.com/articles/eurous_frame.php?art=redfoot "Red Footed Optimus Prime"] at TF-1.com</ref><ref name="mbjoustra">[http://20thcenturytoycollector.com/mb-transformers-part-4/ "The MB & Joustra Connection"] at 20th Century Toy Collector</ref>

Oddly, numerous toys were left out of the UK range, never to see official release: notably [[Swoop (G1)/toys#Toys|Swoop]], [[Shockwave (G1)/toys#Toys|Shockwave]] and [[Blaster (G1)/toys#Toys|Blaster]]. The [[Constructicon (G1)#Toys|Constructicon]]s were also missing; in the early 90s they got a semi-official import release, and a de-combiner'ed [[redeco]] release ([[The_Transformers_(European_toyline)#1992|see "1992" below]]). Some of the non-Takara sculpts were likely dropped due to licensing arrangements ([[Omega Supreme (G1)#Toys|Omega Supreme]], for example, was available as part of the competing Grandstand ''Convertors'' line around this time as "Omegatron"). Due to his absence from the 1985 Hasbro [[catalog]], [[Jetfire (G1)/toys#Toys|Jetfire]] has long been believed to have been held over until the 1986 range, but he was featured in the Autumn 1985 Argos catalog.<ref name="argos85">[http://issuu.com/retromash/docs/argos-no24-1985-autumn Fall 1985 Argos catalog] at Issuu.com.</ref>)

{{main|Joustra}}

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 German, French, Dutch and Spanish text. Therefore, MB covered the markets where Joustra's ''Diaclone'' toys were previously available, with the addition of Spain. The first wave of MB-branded toys was a rather odd selection, a result of Joustra holding the rights to many of the remaining toys, among them Optimus Prime. As a consequence, Jetfire was initially marketed as Autobot leader. Following a deal between Hasbro Bradley and Joustra's struggling parent company Ceji, a large amount of unsold Joustra toys were ''literally'' repackaged and released as the second wave of MB ''Transformers''.<ref name="mbjoustra"/>

Special Note: the tech specs feature inconsistencies for the Dutch (Functie / Funktie) & Spanish (Función / Cometido) across the line. Usage appears to be figure consistent, meaning you will only see use of one or the other within the wave.

An odd one-off addition to the 1985 French Transformers offering was [[Horloge Robot]], a small robot that splits into 14 different vehicles and features a working watch on his chest, released by [[AVI France]] in collaboration with [[wikipedia:Canal+ (French TV channel)|Canal+]]. Weirdly enough, he is none other than a repackaging of a common bootleg of ''[[Diaclone]]'' [[Diaclone#Gats Blocker|Gats Blocker]], now released under the official ''Transformers'' brand... For some reason.

<center>[[Image:Giglogo.jpg|140px|link=GiG]]‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎ㅤ‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎ㅤ[[Image:Trasformer_logo.png|200px|link=Trasformer]]</center>
{{main|GiG}}
[[GiG]] ("Geegh", but sometimes misspelled "GiGi") originally released licensed ''Diaclone'' toys under the name "[[Trasformer]]", occasionally sporting color schemes only found on Hasbro's ''Transformers'' versions (very likely because Takara was shifting production of the toys from ''Diaclone'' to ''Transformers'' at the time). Whether it was pressure from Hasbro or a mere marketing decision, GiG eventually acquired an additional license from Hasbro and 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").<ref name="chicken">[http://tfsource.com/blog/the-chicken-or-the-gig-part-1/ "The Chicken or the Gig?", Part 1] and [http://tfsource.com/blog/the-chicken-or-the-gig-part-2/ Part 2] at TFSource</ref> In addition to the official ''Transformers'' logo, a small remainder of the old ''Trasformer'' logo would remain on the packaging until 1987.

Speaking of ''Trasformer'' remnants, the "Autorobot Cars" and the "Distructor Planes" all sported unique "safety" missiles with large rubber boppers on the end instead of the individual missiles the versions released everywhere else had.

The [[Mini-Vehicle|Autobot Minicars/Mini Vehicles]] were apparently never released by GiG. The Italian names for their characters come from the Italian dub of the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|animated series]].

==1986==
===United Kingdom===

1986 was the first year that the UK lost toys that had been available in previous years. 4 cars survived from the initial 1984 [[Autobot#Generation_1_.2F_Beast_Era|Autobot]] car assortment, none from the 1984 Autobot cars held over till 1985 in the UK and 6 of the 7 new 1985 cars: [[Skids_(G1)#Generation_1|Skids]] misses out on a second year of availability. 5 of the six original [[Mini-Vehicle|Minibots]] are gone, only [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys|Bumblebee]] survives. Gone are the [[Mini-Cassette|tape]] 2 packs, although they continue till 1988 in the US line, as are [[Soundwave (G1)/toys|Soundwave]] & [[Buzzsaw (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Buzzsaw]]].

The catalogue does not show [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]] & [[Megatron (G1)/toys|Megatron]] - at one point the Transformers UK comic claimed they were still available in 1986.

The catalogue also does not show [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys|Rodimus Prime]] & [[Wreck-Gar (G1)|Wreck-Gar]]: they make a very late appearance on UK shelves towards the end of 1986 tying in with the release of Transformers The Movie.

Missing from the Hasbro UK releases are the [[Predacon_(G1)#toys|Predacons]] & [[Gnaw (G1)#toys|Gnaw]], [[Sky Lynx (G1)#Toys|Sky Lynx]], [[Trypticon (G1)#Toys|Trypticon]], who was seen "grey imported" as the time and the Autobot [[Mini-Cassette|tapes]] & [[Ratbat (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Ratbat]] / [[Frenzy (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Frenzy]], who later had Chinese stock grey imports in the early 1990s.

Presumably, ''Transformers'' didn't sell well in Germany in 1985, as German was dropped as a language from the packaging until ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|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).

===Italy===

[[GiG]] was still doing their own thing at this point, with a bit of mix of Hasbro and Takara-style packaging. Notably, GiG's versions of the Aeriabolts, Protectobots, Stunticons and Combaticons came in boxes based on the Takara versions (including prominent "C" and "D" numbers and "Takara" instead of "Hasbro" logos), just like the previous year's Constructicons. 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.

Known Italian releases of 1986 toys are:

===Greece===
[[File:ElGreco-Logo.png|center|125px|link=El Greco]]
{{main|El Greco}}

[[El Greco]] manufactured and released a small number of ''Transformers'' toys to the Greek market, with the only known El Greco releases this year being seven Autobot Mini-Vehicles. These are mostly identical to their international versions safe for a few minor coloration differences, with the used plastics generally being a bit brighter or darker than their Hasbro and Joustra equivalents. The cards the toys were available on were based on the Hasbro cards but fully translated to Greek (including the character names) and sported Hasbro logos in addition to the "El Greco" logo.

It's not entirely clear when exactly the following toys were first available in Greece; however, they couldn't have been released before 1986, since they depict the "[[Decipher the Decepticon]]" poster artwork on the back of their cards.

==1987==
===United Kingdom===
In the UK in 1987 the line lost all the pre 1986 toys. Most of the new toys for 1986 survive apart from the [[Mini-Vehicle|Minibot]] & [[Battlecharger]] assortments. As per the [[1987#US|main US line]] the cars & planes introduced in 1986 received a [[Targetmaster_(technology)|Targetmaster]] upgrade

[[Fortress_Maximus_(G1)#Generation_1|Fortress Maximius]] was not offered for sale through Hasbro UK but a number were given away as colouring competition prizes: a toy promoting this was on display in Hamley's in Regents Street, London, well into the 1990s.

Also missing in the UK were the new [[Decepticon#Generation_1_continuity_family|Decepticon]] [[Mini-Cassette|tapes]], both factions' [[Clone_(subgroup)|Clones]], [[Punch_(G1)#Toys|Doublespy Punch/Countepunch]], [[Sixshot_(G1)|Sixshot]] and [[Monsterbot_(G1)|the Monsterbots]]. Sixshot, the Decepticon Clones and Punch/Counterpunch would later be sold in the UK as Chinese Grey Imports in the early 1990s as would the standard size Autobot & Decepticon [[Headmaster_(technology)|Headmasters]].

===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:

===Italy===

[[GiG]] continued to have their own slightly-different take on ''Transformers'', mainly in packaging; the "Racerbots" (Throttlebots), "Tecnobots" and "Terrorbots" (it should be obvious) came in Takara-styled boxes complete with Japanese ID numbers. "Tundertron" (Abominus) was available as a giftset even though Hasbro hadn't released the toys in that form in the USA; the box layout was again based very closely on the standard Hasbro combiner giftsets at that time, but lacking the Hasbro logo, and sporting the toys' Takara ID numbers. The "Tecnobot" and "Terrorbot" advertisement flyers depict Scattershot and Hun-Gurrr erroneously wearing their respective combiner heads in their uncombined robot modes. The Monsterbots' boxes were based on the Hasbro versions, but sported "Takara" instead of "Hasbro" logos and Takara ID numbers.

==1988==
===United Kingdom===
In 1988 all the previously available toys were eliminated from the catalogue, but there are hints, in the Argos catalogue and elsewhere, that some may have continued to be distributed. There is some debate as to if the [[Triggerbot|Triggerbots]] & [[Triggercon|Triggercons]] were available in the UK in 1988: they are not shown on the catalogue.

As in previous years, the new US released [[Mini-Cassette|tapes]] were not offered in the UK. The UK also missed out on the "second wave" US [[Pretender#Toys|Pretenders]]: [[Autobot#Generation_1_.2F_Beast_Era|Autobots]] [[Groundbreaker#Toys|Groundbreaker]], [[Sky High (Pretender)#Toys|Sky High]] and [[Splashdown#Toys|Splashdown]], and [[Decepticon#Generation_1_continuity_family|Decepticons]] [[Bugly (G1)#Toys|Bugly]], [[Finback#Toys|Finback]] & [[Iguanus (G1)#Toys|Iguanus]].

The [[Pretender Vehicle|Pretender Vehicles]] were a Woolworths exclusive in 1988 before becoming more generally available in 1989.

Towards the end of the year, the [[Micromaster#Toys|Micromaster]] [[Off Road Patrol|Off Road]], [[Race Car Patrol|Race Car]] and [[Air Strike Patrol|Air Strike]] patrols were available in the UK in their "Micro Transformer" packaging.

===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 (all of the toys on this list have been found in both English stickered packaging and French/Dutch packaging):

===Italy===

Starting with the Pretenders, [[GiG]] finally dropped the small remainder of the old ''Trasformer'' logo from their packaging. The most interesting releases this year are the "Grandi Set Transformers" (also called "Superset Transformers" in the 1988 Christmas catalog), re-releases of the prior Combiner giftsets with a pack of five random "Exogini Transformers" ([[Decoy]]s) as a freebie.

Known Italian releases from 1988 are:

==1989==

===United Kingdom===

For the first time the UK received all of [[1989#U.S.|this year's new western Transformers the same year they were released in the USA]].

The [[Pretender_Monsters#toys|Pretender Monsters]] & [[Countdown (G1)|Countdown]] were Woolworths exclusives in 1989, with Countdown being more generally available the following year

===France, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Spain===

In 1989, all releases received French names, but not Dutch names. 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.

Confirmed releases include:

===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==
===Main Transformers Toyline===
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 releases, re-releases and exclusives in a pattern similar (if not exactly the same) to that of the European market; this would continue at least as far as ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]''.

Presumably, Germany got the UK versions of the 1990 [[Action Master]]s 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 include:

==="Classics" (Europe & Australasia)===

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, under the name "[[Classics (Europe)|Classics]]". Germany got the "Classics" toys in English packaging. Unlike the English and French/Dutch versions, the Italian and Spanish "Classics" don't actually say "Classic" anywhere on the packaging. The toys themselves are functionally identical to their original releases, complete with [[rubsign]]s. (Some toys released this year were altered the following year, but we'll talk about the details of that then.)

''Why'' this line happened is currently unknown, but there are several possibilities. It is known that the ''Transformers'' line was only ''just'' starting up in China (thanks to some legal shenanigans), and it appears the "Classics" toys were produced in the same Chinese factories, so the molds suddenly being available for production presented possibilities. It is unknown if Hasbro had originally intended for the toys to be released in the US market as well as in Europe, Australia and New Zealand, but the line's cancellation in the US killed that.

==1991==
===Main Transformers Toyline===
Although ''Transformers'' had come to a stop in the US, Hasbro continued releasing new toys to the European and Australasian markets. Following directly on from 1990's lineup was a number of new Action Masters, including an additional assortment of standard figures, figures with transforming exo-suit armour, and the infamously-paradoxical [[Action Master Elite]]s who could ''themselves'' transform. Again, Action Masters were available in English packaging in Germany.

The "Classic" range of older toys was also expanded with new and updated assortments, and was further complemented by a small quantity of toys from moulds previously exclusive to Japan—while these releases did not sport the "Classic" branding and had their own distinct box-back mural, they were released in the same style of gold packaging.

Confirmed releases include:

===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. As the rubsigns were the ''only'' faction symbols on the Throttlebots, they were replaced with paper Autobot symbol stickers.

==1992==

[[File:G1Stalker toy.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.44|Predator [[Stalker (G1)#Toys|Stalker]] (with [[Snare#Toys|Snare]] attached in the lower-right)]]
'92 is when the European ''Transformers'' line really began to kick into high gear, even if the amount of product was a little on the light side. Hasbro produced new toys exclusively designed for the European market (though some did get imported to Japan), which had a far more cohesive design aesthetic than... well, the line ever had in its past. The Autobots trended towards brighter colors and generally had more "human" faces, and each one used bright-magenta fluorescent translucent plastic for vehicle-mode windscreens and a new innovation in the line, [[light-piping|light-piped]] eyes which appear to "glow" when light shines through them from behind. The Decepticons trended towards darker, cooler colors, their faces much more "robotic" (usually with facemasks and visor-eyes), and using bright-green translucent plastic for their canopies/optics. Both sides also included spring-loaded missile launchers, a [[gimmick]] that had been all but abandoned in Hasbro's markets due to more stringent [[for safety reasons|safety regulations for projectiles]] in the US.

Rounding out the year's product are a strange pair of re-released combiner teams ''lacking'' their combining ability... or individual names.

After this year, Hasbro decided European sales were good enough to [[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|try to revive ''Transformers'' in the US again]].<ref>[http://www.tfarchive.com/fandom/interviews/george_dunsay/george_dunsay_interview.php George Dunsay interview at TFArchive]: "At the time it was discontinued in the US, it was not a temporary decision. It is only after the success in Europe that the US people decided to reintroduce it"</ref>

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.

While Hasbro rolled out the new ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' toyline in the US, the European line continued under the original branding, with a slew of new all-new-mold toys, in the same style as the previous year's, with a variety of new gimmicks… though curiously with the "Generation 2" Autobot and Decepticon symbols applied to them. (A popular [[Misconceptions and urban legends about Transformers#Generation 2|rumor]] claims that this was due to the international licence for the original symbols having expired, which sounds highly dubious.) Some toys even got the "Autobot/Decepticon" text-stamp that was added to every ''Generation 2'' toy in the US.

On top of all these new molds, last year's Turbomasters, Predators, Rescue Force and Constructicons were still shipping to stores, making for quite a full assortment of toys for the final year of the original ''Transformers'' toyline globally. ''Salut!''

Many fans consider this year a sort of "Generation 1.5", further buoyed by the fact that all of the new molds got re-released in 1994 under the ''Generation 2'' branding in European markets.

The Transformers (European toyline)

2025-11-27T08:32:30Z

Payres: /* United Kingdom */

{{nav-G1}}

Originally, European countries got the same [[The Transformers (toyline)| ''The Transformers'']] toys [[Hasbro]] had previously released in the USA, although different countries got different toys (with a few getting regional manufacturers that'd in turn also produce a few occasional noticeable [[variant|variants]]). Initially, numerous sub-contracted companies were responsible for releasing the toys in the individual European countries (which involved [[multilingual packaging|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.

As the ''Transformers'' toyline faded in popularity across North America and Japan throughout the early 90s, the franchise conversely experienced a small parallel renaissance of sorts in Europe, with the region earning several unique figures during this time. After ''The Transformers'' toyline ended in the US, the line continued in Europe until it was renamed into ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)#|Generation 2]]'' in 1994, thus making Europe the only market where the toyline wasn't cancelled at any point.
{{picsneeded|GiG cars with ridiculous "bopper" missiles}}

==1984==
While ''The Transformers'' would not reach most of Europe until 1985, a number of the toys from the 1984 US line were also available in the UK the same year. Given that the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)#Marvel UK|Marvel UK comic]] launched in September '84 (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.

Little is known about the earliest toys released in the UK. Common consensus is that they came in English-only packaging virtually indistinguishable from the US packaging. Recounts of which toys were and weren't available in the UK vary depending on who you ask. A surprising confirmed omission from the initial wave of 1984 toys is [[Megatron (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Megatron]], whose absence on the shelves was even noted in the letters page of the Marvel UK comic. Also of note is that the line's UK tag-line initially was "''Warrior'' Robots in Disguise", seen in the comic and on much of the early ancillary merchandise.

The assortment names used below are those seen in the leaflet which accompanied the 1984 range.

{{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.}}

==1985==
The ''Transformers'' toy line officially started in most European countries in 1985. It should be noted, though, that various European companies had already released licensed versions of [[TakaraTomy|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; Takara themselves released ''Diaclone'' in Finland). Some of the toys in those lines sported Hasbro-series changes, including color schemes and even Autobot symbols(!), as Takara was already shifting production of the toys from ''Diaclone'' to their own domestic release of ''Transformers''. But it wasn't until 1985 that ''Transformers'' toys were ''officially'' introduced to the various European markets under that name.

===United Kingdom===

All 1984 toys were still available in 1985, now with the addition of [[rubsign]]s. 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. Alongside with a variation of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Optimus Prime]] that sported red instead of blue feet, Megatron was manufactured by French company Ceji as part of a deal with Hasbro, and the red-footed version of Optimus Prime was also released by [[Milton Bradley]] in mainland Europe (see below).<ref name="redfoot1">[http://www.tf-1.com/articles/eurous_frame.php?art=redfoot "Red Footed Optimus Prime"] at TF-1.com</ref><ref name="mbjoustra">[http://20thcenturytoycollector.com/mb-transformers-part-4/ "The MB & Joustra Connection"] at 20th Century Toy Collector</ref>

Oddly, numerous toys were left out of the UK range, never to see official release: notably [[Swoop (G1)/toys#Toys|Swoop]], [[Shockwave (G1)/toys#Toys|Shockwave]] and [[Blaster (G1)/toys#Toys|Blaster]]. The [[Constructicon (G1)#Toys|Constructicon]]s were also missing; in the early 90s they got a semi-official import release, and a de-combiner'ed [[redeco]] release ([[The_Transformers_(European_toyline)#1992|see "1992" below]]). Some of the non-Takara sculpts were likely dropped due to licensing arrangements ([[Omega Supreme (G1)#Toys|Omega Supreme]], for example, was available as part of the competing Grandstand ''Convertors'' line around this time as "Omegatron"). Due to his absence from the 1985 Hasbro [[catalog]], [[Jetfire (G1)/toys#Toys|Jetfire]] has long been believed to have been held over until the 1986 range, but he was featured in the Autumn 1985 Argos catalog.<ref name="argos85">[http://issuu.com/retromash/docs/argos-no24-1985-autumn Fall 1985 Argos catalog] at Issuu.com.</ref>)

===Germany, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain===
<center>[[File:Milton_Bradley_logo.png|140px||link=Milton Bradley]] [[File:Joustra1.jpg|200px||link=Joustra]]</center>
{{main|Joustra}}

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 German, French, Dutch and Spanish text. Therefore, MB covered the markets where Joustra's ''Diaclone'' toys were previously available, with the addition of Spain. The first wave of MB-branded toys was a rather odd selection, a result of Joustra holding the rights to many of the remaining toys, among them Optimus Prime. As a consequence, Jetfire was initially marketed as Autobot leader. Following a deal between Hasbro Bradley and Joustra's struggling parent company Ceji, a large amount of unsold Joustra toys were ''literally'' repackaged and released as the second wave of MB ''Transformers''.<ref name="mbjoustra"/>

Special Note: the tech specs feature inconsistencies for the Dutch (Functie / Funktie) & Spanish (Función / Cometido) across the line. Usage appears to be figure consistent, meaning you will only see use of one or the other within the wave.

An odd one-off addition to the 1985 French Transformers offering was [[Horloge Robot]], a small robot that splits into 14 different vehicles and features a working watch on his chest, released by [[AVI France]] in collaboration with [[wikipedia:Canal+ (French TV channel)|Canal+]]. Weirdly enough, he is none other than a repackaging of a common bootleg of ''[[Diaclone]]'' [[Diaclone#Gats Blocker|Gats Blocker]], now released under the official ''Transformers'' brand... For some reason.

<center>[[Image:Giglogo.jpg|140px|link=GiG]]‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎ㅤ‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎ㅤ[[Image:Trasformer_logo.png|200px|link=Trasformer]]</center>
{{main|GiG}}
[[GiG]] ("Geegh", but sometimes misspelled "GiGi") originally released licensed ''Diaclone'' toys under the name "[[Trasformer]]", occasionally sporting color schemes only found on Hasbro's ''Transformers'' versions (very likely because Takara was shifting production of the toys from ''Diaclone'' to ''Transformers'' at the time). Whether it was pressure from Hasbro or a mere marketing decision, GiG eventually acquired an additional license from Hasbro and 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").<ref name="chicken">[http://tfsource.com/blog/the-chicken-or-the-gig-part-1/ "The Chicken or the Gig?", Part 1] and [http://tfsource.com/blog/the-chicken-or-the-gig-part-2/ Part 2] at TFSource</ref> In addition to the official ''Transformers'' logo, a small remainder of the old ''Trasformer'' logo would remain on the packaging until 1987.

Speaking of ''Trasformer'' remnants, the "Autorobot Cars" and the "Distructor Planes" all sported unique "safety" missiles with large rubber boppers on the end instead of the individual missiles the versions released everywhere else had.

The [[Mini-Vehicle|Autobot Minicars/Mini Vehicles]] were apparently never released by GiG. The Italian names for their characters come from the Italian dub of the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|animated series]].

==1986==
===United Kingdom===

1986 was the first year that the UK lost toys that had been available in previous years. 4 cars survived from the initial 1984 [[Autobot#Generation_1_.2F_Beast_Era|Autobot]] car assortment, none from the 1984 Autobot cars held over till 1985 in the UK and 6 of the 7 new 1985 cars: [[Skids_(G1)#Generation_1|Skids]] misses out on a second year of availability. 5 of the six original [[Mini-Vehicle|Minibots]] are gone, only [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys|Bumblebee]] survives. Gone are the [[Mini-Cassette|tape]] 2 packs, although they continue till 1988 in the US line, as are [[Soundwave (G1)/toys|Soundwave]] & [[Buzzsaw (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Buzzsaw]]].

The catalogue does not show [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]] & [[Megatron (G1)/toys|Megatron]] - at one point the Transformers UK comic claimed they were still available in 1986.

The catalogue also does not show [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys|Rodimus Prime]] & [[Wreck-Gar (G1)|Wreck-Gar]]: they make a very late appearance on UK shelves towards the end of 1986 tying in with the release of Transformers The Movie.

Missing from the Hasbro UK releases are the [[Predacon_(G1)#toys|Predacons]] & [[Gnaw (G1)#toys|Gnaw]], [[Sky Lynx (G1)#Toys|Sky Lynx]], [[Trypticon (G1)#Toys|Trypticon]], who was seen "grey imported" as the time and the Autobot [[Mini-Cassette|tapes]] & [[Ratbat (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Ratbat]] / [[Frenzy (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Frenzy]], who later had Chinese stock grey imports in the early 1990s.

Confirmed UK Hasbro releases from 1986 are:

===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 ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|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:

===Italy===

[[GiG]] was still doing their own thing at this point, with a bit of mix of Hasbro and Takara-style packaging. Notably, GiG's versions of the Aeriabolts, Protectobots, Stunticons and Combaticons came in boxes based on the Takara versions (including prominent "C" and "D" numbers and "Takara" instead of "Hasbro" logos), just like the previous year's Constructicons. 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.

Known Italian releases of 1986 toys are:

===Greece===
[[File:ElGreco-Logo.png|center|125px|link=El Greco]]
{{main|El Greco}}

[[El Greco]] manufactured and released a small number of ''Transformers'' toys to the Greek market, with the only known El Greco releases this year being seven Autobot Mini-Vehicles. These are mostly identical to their international versions safe for a few minor coloration differences, with the used plastics generally being a bit brighter or darker than their Hasbro and Joustra equivalents. The cards the toys were available on were based on the Hasbro cards but fully translated to Greek (including the character names) and sported Hasbro logos in addition to the "El Greco" logo.

It's not entirely clear when exactly the following toys were first available in Greece; however, they couldn't have been released before 1986, since they depict the "[[Decipher the Decepticon]]" poster artwork on the back of their cards.

==1987==
===United Kingdom===
In the UK in 1987 the line lost all the pre 1986 toys. Most of the new toys for 1986 survive apart from the [[Mini-Vehicle|Minibot]] & [[Battlecharger]] assortments. As per the [[1987#US|main US line]] the cars & planes introduced in 1986 received a [[Targetmaster_(technology)|Targetmaster]] upgrade

[[Fortress_Maximus_(G1)#Generation_1|Fortress Maximius]] was not offered for sale through Hasbro UK but a number were given away as colouring competition prizes: a toy promoting this was on display in Hamley's in Regents Street, London, well into the 1990s.

Also missing in the UK were the new [[Decepticon#Generation_1_continuity_family|Decepticon]] [[Mini-Cassette|tapes]], both factions' [[Clone_(subgroup)|Clones]], [[Punch_(G1)#Toys|Doublespy Punch/Countepunch]], [[Sixshot_(G1)|Sixshot]] and [[Monsterbot_(G1)|the Monsterbots]]. Sixshot, the Decepticon Clones and Punch/Counterpunch would later be sold in the UK as Chinese Grey Imports in the early 1990s as would the standard size Autobot & Decepticon [[Headmaster_(technology)|Headmasters]].

===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:

===Italy===

[[GiG]] continued to have their own slightly-different take on ''Transformers'', mainly in packaging; the "Racerbots" (Throttlebots), "Tecnobots" and "Terrorbots" (it should be obvious) came in Takara-styled boxes complete with Japanese ID numbers. "Tundertron" (Abominus) was available as a giftset even though Hasbro hadn't released the toys in that form in the USA; the box layout was again based very closely on the standard Hasbro combiner giftsets at that time, but lacking the Hasbro logo, and sporting the toys' Takara ID numbers. The "Tecnobot" and "Terrorbot" advertisement flyers depict Scattershot and Hun-Gurrr erroneously wearing their respective combiner heads in their uncombined robot modes. The Monsterbots' boxes were based on the Hasbro versions, but sported "Takara" instead of "Hasbro" logos and Takara ID numbers.

==1988==
===United Kingdom===
In 1988 all the previously available toys were eliminated from the catalogue, but there are hints, in the Argos catalogue and elsewhere, that some may have continued to be distributed. There is some debate as to if the [[Triggerbot|Triggerbots]] & [[Triggercon|Triggercons]] were available in the UK in 1988: they are not shown on the catalogue.

As in previous years, the new US released [[Mini-Cassette|tapes]] were not offered in the UK. The UK also missed out on the "second wave" US [[Pretender#Toys|Pretenders]]: [[Autobot#Generation_1_.2F_Beast_Era|Autobots]] [[Groundbreaker#Toys|Groundbreaker]], [[Sky High (Pretender)#Toys|Sky High]] and [[Splashdown#Toys|Splashdown]], and [[Decepticon#Generation_1_continuity_family|Decepticons]] [[Bugly (G1)#Toys|Bugly]], [[Finback#Toys|Finback]] & [[Iguanus (G1)#Toys|Iguanus]].

The [[Pretender Vehicle|Pretender Vehicles]] were a Woolworths exclusive in 1988 before becoming more generally available in 1989.

Towards the end of the year, the [[Micromaster#Toys|Micromaster]] [[Off Road Patrol|Off Road]], [[Race Car Patrol|Race Car]] and [[Air Strike Patrol|Air Strike]] patrols were available in the UK in their "Micro Transformer" packaging.

===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 (all of the toys on this list have been found in both English stickered packaging and French/Dutch packaging):

===Italy===

Starting with the Pretenders, [[GiG]] finally dropped the small remainder of the old ''Trasformer'' logo from their packaging. The most interesting releases this year are the "Grandi Set Transformers" (also called "Superset Transformers" in the 1988 Christmas catalog), re-releases of the prior Combiner giftsets with a pack of five random "Exogini Transformers" ([[Decoy]]s) as a freebie.

Known Italian releases from 1988 are:

===France, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Spain===

In 1989, all releases received French names, but not Dutch names. 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.

Confirmed releases include:

===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==
===Main Transformers Toyline===
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 releases, re-releases and exclusives in a pattern similar (if not exactly the same) to that of the European market; this would continue at least as far as ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]''.

Presumably, Germany got the UK versions of the 1990 [[Action Master]]s 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 include:

==="Classics" (Europe & Australasia)===

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, under the name "[[Classics (Europe)|Classics]]". Germany got the "Classics" toys in English packaging. Unlike the English and French/Dutch versions, the Italian and Spanish "Classics" don't actually say "Classic" anywhere on the packaging. The toys themselves are functionally identical to their original releases, complete with [[rubsign]]s. (Some toys released this year were altered the following year, but we'll talk about the details of that then.)

''Why'' this line happened is currently unknown, but there are several possibilities. It is known that the ''Transformers'' line was only ''just'' starting up in China (thanks to some legal shenanigans), and it appears the "Classics" toys were produced in the same Chinese factories, so the molds suddenly being available for production presented possibilities. It is unknown if Hasbro had originally intended for the toys to be released in the US market as well as in Europe, Australia and New Zealand, but the line's cancellation in the US killed that.

==1991==
===Main Transformers Toyline===
Although ''Transformers'' had come to a stop in the US, Hasbro continued releasing new toys to the European and Australasian markets. Following directly on from 1990's lineup was a number of new Action Masters, including an additional assortment of standard figures, figures with transforming exo-suit armour, and the infamously-paradoxical [[Action Master Elite]]s who could ''themselves'' transform. Again, Action Masters were available in English packaging in Germany.

The "Classic" range of older toys was also expanded with new and updated assortments, and was further complemented by a small quantity of toys from moulds previously exclusive to Japan—while these releases did not sport the "Classic" branding and had their own distinct box-back mural, they were released in the same style of gold packaging.

===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. As the rubsigns were the ''only'' faction symbols on the Throttlebots, they were replaced with paper Autobot symbol stickers.

[[File:G1Stalker toy.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.44|Predator [[Stalker (G1)#Toys|Stalker]] (with [[Snare#Toys|Snare]] attached in the lower-right)]]
'92 is when the European ''Transformers'' line really began to kick into high gear, even if the amount of product was a little on the light side. Hasbro produced new toys exclusively designed for the European market (though some did get imported to Japan), which had a far more cohesive design aesthetic than... well, the line ever had in its past. The Autobots trended towards brighter colors and generally had more "human" faces, and each one used bright-magenta fluorescent translucent plastic for vehicle-mode windscreens and a new innovation in the line, [[light-piping|light-piped]] eyes which appear to "glow" when light shines through them from behind. The Decepticons trended towards darker, cooler colors, their faces much more "robotic" (usually with facemasks and visor-eyes), and using bright-green translucent plastic for their canopies/optics. Both sides also included spring-loaded missile launchers, a [[gimmick]] that had been all but abandoned in Hasbro's markets due to more stringent [[for safety reasons|safety regulations for projectiles]] in the US.

Rounding out the year's product are a strange pair of re-released combiner teams ''lacking'' their combining ability... or individual names.

After this year, Hasbro decided European sales were good enough to [[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|try to revive ''Transformers'' in the US again]].<ref>[http://www.tfarchive.com/fandom/interviews/george_dunsay/george_dunsay_interview.php George Dunsay interview at TFArchive]: "At the time it was discontinued in the US, it was not a temporary decision. It is only after the success in Europe that the US people decided to reintroduce it"</ref>

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.

While Hasbro rolled out the new ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' toyline in the US, the European line continued under the original branding, with a slew of new all-new-mold toys, in the same style as the previous year's, with a variety of new gimmicks… though curiously with the "Generation 2" Autobot and Decepticon symbols applied to them. (A popular [[Misconceptions and urban legends about Transformers#Generation 2|rumor]] claims that this was due to the international licence for the original symbols having expired, which sounds highly dubious.) Some toys even got the "Autobot/Decepticon" text-stamp that was added to every ''Generation 2'' toy in the US.

On top of all these new molds, last year's Turbomasters, Predators, Rescue Force and Constructicons were still shipping to stores, making for quite a full assortment of toys for the final year of the original ''Transformers'' toyline globally. ''Salut!''

Many fans consider this year a sort of "Generation 1.5", further buoyed by the fact that all of the new molds got re-released in 1994 under the ''Generation 2'' branding in European markets.

The Transformers (European toyline)

2025-11-27T08:28:27Z

Payres: /* United Kingdom */

{{nav-G1}}

Originally, European countries got the same [[The Transformers (toyline)| ''The Transformers'']] toys [[Hasbro]] had previously released in the USA, although different countries got different toys (with a few getting regional manufacturers that'd in turn also produce a few occasional noticeable [[variant|variants]]). Initially, numerous sub-contracted companies were responsible for releasing the toys in the individual European countries (which involved [[multilingual packaging|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.

As the ''Transformers'' toyline faded in popularity across North America and Japan throughout the early 90s, the franchise conversely experienced a small parallel renaissance of sorts in Europe, with the region earning several unique figures during this time. After ''The Transformers'' toyline ended in the US, the line continued in Europe until it was renamed into ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)#|Generation 2]]'' in 1994, thus making Europe the only market where the toyline wasn't cancelled at any point.
{{picsneeded|GiG cars with ridiculous "bopper" missiles}}

==1984==
While ''The Transformers'' would not reach most of Europe until 1985, a number of the toys from the 1984 US line were also available in the UK the same year. Given that the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)#Marvel UK|Marvel UK comic]] launched in September '84 (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.

Little is known about the earliest toys released in the UK. Common consensus is that they came in English-only packaging virtually indistinguishable from the US packaging. Recounts of which toys were and weren't available in the UK vary depending on who you ask. A surprising confirmed omission from the initial wave of 1984 toys is [[Megatron (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Megatron]], whose absence on the shelves was even noted in the letters page of the Marvel UK comic. Also of note is that the line's UK tag-line initially was "''Warrior'' Robots in Disguise", seen in the comic and on much of the early ancillary merchandise.

The assortment names used below are those seen in the leaflet which accompanied the 1984 range.

{{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.}}

==1985==
The ''Transformers'' toy line officially started in most European countries in 1985. It should be noted, though, that various European companies had already released licensed versions of [[TakaraTomy|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; Takara themselves released ''Diaclone'' in Finland). Some of the toys in those lines sported Hasbro-series changes, including color schemes and even Autobot symbols(!), as Takara was already shifting production of the toys from ''Diaclone'' to their own domestic release of ''Transformers''. But it wasn't until 1985 that ''Transformers'' toys were ''officially'' introduced to the various European markets under that name.

===United Kingdom===

All 1984 toys were still available in 1985, now with the addition of [[rubsign]]s. 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. Alongside with a variation of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Optimus Prime]] that sported red instead of blue feet, Megatron was manufactured by French company Ceji as part of a deal with Hasbro, and the red-footed version of Optimus Prime was also released by [[Milton Bradley]] in mainland Europe (see below).<ref name="redfoot1">[http://www.tf-1.com/articles/eurous_frame.php?art=redfoot "Red Footed Optimus Prime"] at TF-1.com</ref><ref name="mbjoustra">[http://20thcenturytoycollector.com/mb-transformers-part-4/ "The MB & Joustra Connection"] at 20th Century Toy Collector</ref>

Oddly, numerous toys were left out of the UK range, never to see official release: notably [[Swoop (G1)/toys#Toys|Swoop]], [[Shockwave (G1)/toys#Toys|Shockwave]] and [[Blaster (G1)/toys#Toys|Blaster]]. The [[Constructicon (G1)#Toys|Constructicon]]s were also missing; in the early 90s they got a semi-official import release, and a de-combiner'ed [[redeco]] release ([[The_Transformers_(European_toyline)#1992|see "1992" below]]). Some of the non-Takara sculpts were likely dropped due to licensing arrangements ([[Omega Supreme (G1)#Toys|Omega Supreme]], for example, was available as part of the competing Grandstand ''Convertors'' line around this time as "Omegatron"). Due to his absence from the 1985 Hasbro [[catalog]], [[Jetfire (G1)/toys#Toys|Jetfire]] has long been believed to have been held over until the 1986 range, but he was featured in the Autumn 1985 Argos catalog.<ref name="argos85">[http://issuu.com/retromash/docs/argos-no24-1985-autumn Fall 1985 Argos catalog] at Issuu.com.</ref>)

{{main|Joustra}}

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 German, French, Dutch and Spanish text. Therefore, MB covered the markets where Joustra's ''Diaclone'' toys were previously available, with the addition of Spain. The first wave of MB-branded toys was a rather odd selection, a result of Joustra holding the rights to many of the remaining toys, among them Optimus Prime. As a consequence, Jetfire was initially marketed as Autobot leader. Following a deal between Hasbro Bradley and Joustra's struggling parent company Ceji, a large amount of unsold Joustra toys were ''literally'' repackaged and released as the second wave of MB ''Transformers''.<ref name="mbjoustra"/>

Special Note: the tech specs feature inconsistencies for the Dutch (Functie / Funktie) & Spanish (Función / Cometido) across the line. Usage appears to be figure consistent, meaning you will only see use of one or the other within the wave.

An odd one-off addition to the 1985 French Transformers offering was [[Horloge Robot]], a small robot that splits into 14 different vehicles and features a working watch on his chest, released by [[AVI France]] in collaboration with [[wikipedia:Canal+ (French TV channel)|Canal+]]. Weirdly enough, he is none other than a repackaging of a common bootleg of ''[[Diaclone]]'' [[Diaclone#Gats Blocker|Gats Blocker]], now released under the official ''Transformers'' brand... For some reason.

{{main|GiG}}
[[GiG]] ("Geegh", but sometimes misspelled "GiGi") originally released licensed ''Diaclone'' toys under the name "[[Trasformer]]", occasionally sporting color schemes only found on Hasbro's ''Transformers'' versions (very likely because Takara was shifting production of the toys from ''Diaclone'' to ''Transformers'' at the time). Whether it was pressure from Hasbro or a mere marketing decision, GiG eventually acquired an additional license from Hasbro and 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").<ref name="chicken">[http://tfsource.com/blog/the-chicken-or-the-gig-part-1/ "The Chicken or the Gig?", Part 1] and [http://tfsource.com/blog/the-chicken-or-the-gig-part-2/ Part 2] at TFSource</ref> In addition to the official ''Transformers'' logo, a small remainder of the old ''Trasformer'' logo would remain on the packaging until 1987.

Speaking of ''Trasformer'' remnants, the "Autorobot Cars" and the "Distructor Planes" all sported unique "safety" missiles with large rubber boppers on the end instead of the individual missiles the versions released everywhere else had.

The [[Mini-Vehicle|Autobot Minicars/Mini Vehicles]] were apparently never released by GiG. The Italian names for their characters come from the Italian dub of the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|animated series]].

1986 was the first year that the UK lost toys that had been available in previous years. 4 cars survived from the initial 1984 [[Autobot#Generation_1_.2F_Beast_Era|Autobot]] car assortment, none from the 1984 Autobot cars held over till 1985 in the UK and 6 of the 7 new 1985 cars: [[Skids_(G1)#Generation_1|Skids]] misses out on a second year of availability. 5 of the six original [[Mini-Vehicle|Minibots]] are gone, only [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys|Bumblebee]] survives. Gone are the [[Mini-Cassette|tape]] 2 packs, although they continue till 1988 in the US line, as are [[Soundwave (G1)/toys|Soundwave]] & [[Buzzsaw (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Buzzsaw]]].

The catalogue does not show [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]] & [[Megatron (G1)/toys|Megatron]] - at one point the Transformers UK comic claimed they were still available in 1986.

The catalogue also does not show [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys|Rodimus Prime]] & [[Wreck-Gar (G1)|Wreck-Gar]]: they make a very late appearance on UK shelves towards the end of 1986 tying in with the release of Transformers The Movie.

Missing from the Hasbro UK releases are the [[Predacon_(G1)#toys|Predacons]] & [[Gnaw (G1)#toys|Gnaw]], [[Sky Lynx (G1)#Toys|Sky Lynx]], [[Trypticon (G1)#Toys|Trypticon]], who was seen "grey imported" as the time and the Autobot [[Mini-Cassette|tapes]] & [[Ratbat (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Ratbat]] / [[Frenzy (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Frenzy]], who later had Chinese stock grey imports in the early 1990s.

Confirmed UK Hasbro releases from 1986 are:

===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 ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|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:

===Italy===

[[GiG]] was still doing their own thing at this point, with a bit of mix of Hasbro and Takara-style packaging. Notably, GiG's versions of the Aeriabolts, Protectobots, Stunticons and Combaticons came in boxes based on the Takara versions (including prominent "C" and "D" numbers and "Takara" instead of "Hasbro" logos), just like the previous year's Constructicons. 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.

Known Italian releases of 1986 toys are:

===Greece===
[[File:ElGreco-Logo.png|center|125px|link=El Greco]]
{{main|El Greco}}

[[El Greco]] manufactured and released a small number of ''Transformers'' toys to the Greek market, with the only known El Greco releases this year being seven Autobot Mini-Vehicles. These are mostly identical to their international versions safe for a few minor coloration differences, with the used plastics generally being a bit brighter or darker than their Hasbro and Joustra equivalents. The cards the toys were available on were based on the Hasbro cards but fully translated to Greek (including the character names) and sported Hasbro logos in addition to the "El Greco" logo.

It's not entirely clear when exactly the following toys were first available in Greece; however, they couldn't have been released before 1986, since they depict the "[[Decipher the Decepticon]]" poster artwork on the back of their cards.

==1987==
===United Kingdom===
In the UK in 1987 the line lost all the pre 1986 toys. Most of the new toys for 1986 survive apart from the [[Mini-Vehicle|Minibot]] & [[Battlecharger]] assortments. As per the [[1987#US|main US line]] the cars & planes introduced in 1986 received a [[Targetmaster_(technology)|Targetmaster]] upgrade

[[Fortress_Maximus_(G1)#Generation_1|Fortress Maximius]] was not offered for sale through Hasbro UK but a number were given away as colouring competition prizes: a toy promoting this was on display in Hamley's in Regents Street, London, well into the 1990s.

Also missing in the UK were the new [[Decepticon#Generation_1_continuity_family|Decepticon]] [[Mini-Cassette|tapes]], both factions' [[Clone_(subgroup)|Clones]], [[Punch_(G1)#Toys|Doublespy Punch/Countepunch]], [[Sixshot_(G1)|Sixshot]] and [[Monsterbot_(G1)|the Monsterbots]]. Sixshot, the Decepticon Clones and Punch/Counterpunch would later be sold in the UK as Chinese Grey Imports in the early 1990s as would the standard size Autobot & Decepticon [[Headmaster_(technology)|Headmasters]].

===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:

{{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.}}

===Italy===

[[GiG]] continued to have their own slightly-different take on ''Transformers'', mainly in packaging; the "Racerbots" (Throttlebots), "Tecnobots" and "Terrorbots" (it should be obvious) came in Takara-styled boxes complete with Japanese ID numbers. "Tundertron" (Abominus) was available as a giftset even though Hasbro hadn't released the toys in that form in the USA; the box layout was again based very closely on the standard Hasbro combiner giftsets at that time, but lacking the Hasbro logo, and sporting the toys' Takara ID numbers. The "Tecnobot" and "Terrorbot" advertisement flyers depict Scattershot and Hun-Gurrr erroneously wearing their respective combiner heads in their uncombined robot modes. The Monsterbots' boxes were based on the Hasbro versions, but sported "Takara" instead of "Hasbro" logos and Takara ID numbers.

==1988==
===United Kingdom===
In 1988 all the previously available toys were eliminated from the catalogue, but there are hints, in the Argos catalogue and elsewhere, that some may have continued to be distributed. There is some debate as to if the [[Triggerbot|Triggerbots]] & [[Triggercon|Triggercons]] were available in the UK in 1988: they are not shown on the catalogue.

As in previous years, the new US released [[Mini-Cassette|tapes]] were not offered in the UK. The UK also missed out on the "second wave" US [[Pretender#Toys|Pretenders]]: [[Autobot#Generation_1_.2F_Beast_Era|Autobots]] [[Groundbreaker#Toys|Groundbreaker]], [[Sky High (Pretender)#Toys|Sky High]] and [[Splashdown#Toys|Splashdown]], and [[Decepticon#Generation_1_continuity_family|Decepticons]] [[Bugly (G1)#Toys|Bugly]], [[Finback#Toys|Finback]] & [[Iguanus (G1)#Toys|Iguanus]].

The [[Pretender Vehicle|Pretender Vehicles]] were a Woolworths exclusive in 1988 before becoming more generally available in 1989.

Towards the end of the year, the [[Micromaster#Toys|Micromaster]] [[Off Road Patrol|Off Road]], [[Race Car Patrol|Race Car]] and [[Air Strike Patrol|Air Strike]] patrols were available in the UK in their "Micro Transformer" packaging.

===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 (all of the toys on this list have been found in both English stickered packaging and French/Dutch packaging):

===Italy===

Starting with the Pretenders, [[GiG]] finally dropped the small remainder of the old ''Trasformer'' logo from their packaging. The most interesting releases this year are the "Grandi Set Transformers" (also called "Superset Transformers" in the 1988 Christmas catalog), re-releases of the prior Combiner giftsets with a pack of five random "Exogini Transformers" ([[Decoy]]s) as a freebie.

Known Italian releases from 1988 are:

The [[Pretender_Monsters#toys|Pretender Monsters]] & [[Countdown (G1)|Countdown]] were Woolworths exclusives in 1989, with Countdown being more generally available the following year

===France, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Spain===

In 1989, all releases received French names, but not Dutch names. 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.

Confirmed releases include:

===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==
===Main Transformers Toyline===
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 releases, re-releases and exclusives in a pattern similar (if not exactly the same) to that of the European market; this would continue at least as far as ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]''.

Presumably, Germany got the UK versions of the 1990 [[Action Master]]s 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 include:

==="Classics" (Europe & Australasia)===

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, under the name "[[Classics (Europe)|Classics]]". Germany got the "Classics" toys in English packaging. Unlike the English and French/Dutch versions, the Italian and Spanish "Classics" don't actually say "Classic" anywhere on the packaging. The toys themselves are functionally identical to their original releases, complete with [[rubsign]]s. (Some toys released this year were altered the following year, but we'll talk about the details of that then.)

''Why'' this line happened is currently unknown, but there are several possibilities. It is known that the ''Transformers'' line was only ''just'' starting up in China (thanks to some legal shenanigans), and it appears the "Classics" toys were produced in the same Chinese factories, so the molds suddenly being available for production presented possibilities. It is unknown if Hasbro had originally intended for the toys to be released in the US market as well as in Europe, Australia and New Zealand, but the line's cancellation in the US killed that.

==1991==
===Main Transformers Toyline===
Although ''Transformers'' had come to a stop in the US, Hasbro continued releasing new toys to the European and Australasian markets. Following directly on from 1990's lineup was a number of new Action Masters, including an additional assortment of standard figures, figures with transforming exo-suit armour, and the infamously-paradoxical [[Action Master Elite]]s who could ''themselves'' transform. Again, Action Masters were available in English packaging in Germany.

The "Classic" range of older toys was also expanded with new and updated assortments, and was further complemented by a small quantity of toys from moulds previously exclusive to Japan—while these releases did not sport the "Classic" branding and had their own distinct box-back mural, they were released in the same style of gold packaging.

===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. As the rubsigns were the ''only'' faction symbols on the Throttlebots, they were replaced with paper Autobot symbol stickers.

[[File:G1Stalker toy.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.44|Predator [[Stalker (G1)#Toys|Stalker]] (with [[Snare#Toys|Snare]] attached in the lower-right)]]
'92 is when the European ''Transformers'' line really began to kick into high gear, even if the amount of product was a little on the light side. Hasbro produced new toys exclusively designed for the European market (though some did get imported to Japan), which had a far more cohesive design aesthetic than... well, the line ever had in its past. The Autobots trended towards brighter colors and generally had more "human" faces, and each one used bright-magenta fluorescent translucent plastic for vehicle-mode windscreens and a new innovation in the line, [[light-piping|light-piped]] eyes which appear to "glow" when light shines through them from behind. The Decepticons trended towards darker, cooler colors, their faces much more "robotic" (usually with facemasks and visor-eyes), and using bright-green translucent plastic for their canopies/optics. Both sides also included spring-loaded missile launchers, a [[gimmick]] that had been all but abandoned in Hasbro's markets due to more stringent [[for safety reasons|safety regulations for projectiles]] in the US.

Rounding out the year's product are a strange pair of re-released combiner teams ''lacking'' their combining ability... or individual names.

After this year, Hasbro decided European sales were good enough to [[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|try to revive ''Transformers'' in the US again]].<ref>[http://www.tfarchive.com/fandom/interviews/george_dunsay/george_dunsay_interview.php George Dunsay interview at TFArchive]: "At the time it was discontinued in the US, it was not a temporary decision. It is only after the success in Europe that the US people decided to reintroduce it"</ref>

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.

Confirmed releases include:

While Hasbro rolled out the new ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' toyline in the US, the European line continued under the original branding, with a slew of new all-new-mold toys, in the same style as the previous year's, with a variety of new gimmicks… though curiously with the "Generation 2" Autobot and Decepticon symbols applied to them. (A popular [[Misconceptions and urban legends about Transformers#Generation 2|rumor]] claims that this was due to the international licence for the original symbols having expired, which sounds highly dubious.) Some toys even got the "Autobot/Decepticon" text-stamp that was added to every ''Generation 2'' toy in the US.

On top of all these new molds, last year's Turbomasters, Predators, Rescue Force and Constructicons were still shipping to stores, making for quite a full assortment of toys for the final year of the original ''Transformers'' toyline globally. ''Salut!''

Many fans consider this year a sort of "Generation 1.5", further buoyed by the fact that all of the new molds got re-released in 1994 under the ''Generation 2'' branding in European markets.

The Transformers (European toyline)

2025-11-26T23:58:15Z

Payres: /* United Kingdom */ added 1989 description hyperlinks

{{nav-G1}}

Originally, European countries got the same [[The Transformers (toyline)| ''The Transformers'']] toys [[Hasbro]] had previously released in the USA, although different countries got different toys (with a few getting regional manufacturers that'd in turn also produce a few occasional noticeable [[variant|variants]]). Initially, numerous sub-contracted companies were responsible for releasing the toys in the individual European countries (which involved [[multilingual packaging|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.

As the ''Transformers'' toyline faded in popularity across North America and Japan throughout the early 90s, the franchise conversely experienced a small parallel renaissance of sorts in Europe, with the region earning several unique figures during this time. After ''The Transformers'' toyline ended in the US, the line continued in Europe until it was renamed into ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)#|Generation 2]]'' in 1994, thus making Europe the only market where the toyline wasn't cancelled at any point.
{{picsneeded|GiG cars with ridiculous "bopper" missiles}}

==1984==
While ''The Transformers'' would not reach most of Europe until 1985, a number of the toys from the 1984 US line were also available in the UK the same year. Given that the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)#Marvel UK|Marvel UK comic]] launched in September '84 (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.

Little is known about the earliest toys released in the UK. Common consensus is that they came in English-only packaging virtually indistinguishable from the US packaging. Recounts of which toys were and weren't available in the UK vary depending on who you ask. A surprising confirmed omission from the initial wave of 1984 toys is [[Megatron (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Megatron]], whose absence on the shelves was even noted in the letters page of the Marvel UK comic. Also of note is that the line's UK tag-line initially was "''Warrior'' Robots in Disguise", seen in the comic and on much of the early ancillary merchandise.

The assortment names used below are those seen in the leaflet which accompanied the 1984 range.

{{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.}}

==1985==
The ''Transformers'' toy line officially started in most European countries in 1985. It should be noted, though, that various European companies had already released licensed versions of [[TakaraTomy|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; Takara themselves released ''Diaclone'' in Finland). Some of the toys in those lines sported Hasbro-series changes, including color schemes and even Autobot symbols(!), as Takara was already shifting production of the toys from ''Diaclone'' to their own domestic release of ''Transformers''. But it wasn't until 1985 that ''Transformers'' toys were ''officially'' introduced to the various European markets under that name.

===United Kingdom===

All 1984 toys were still available in 1985, now with the addition of [[rubsign]]s. 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. Alongside with a variation of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Optimus Prime]] that sported red instead of blue feet, Megatron was manufactured by French company Ceji as part of a deal with Hasbro, and the red-footed version of Optimus Prime was also released by [[Milton Bradley]] in mainland Europe (see below).<ref name="redfoot1">[http://www.tf-1.com/articles/eurous_frame.php?art=redfoot "Red Footed Optimus Prime"] at TF-1.com</ref><ref name="mbjoustra">[http://20thcenturytoycollector.com/mb-transformers-part-4/ "The MB & Joustra Connection"] at 20th Century Toy Collector</ref>

Oddly, numerous toys were left out of the UK range, never to see official release: notably [[Swoop (G1)/toys#Toys|Swoop]], [[Shockwave (G1)/toys#Toys|Shockwave]] and [[Blaster (G1)/toys#Toys|Blaster]]. The [[Constructicon (G1)#Toys|Constructicon]]s were also missing; in the early 90s they got a semi-official import release, and a de-combiner'ed [[redeco]] release ([[The_Transformers_(European_toyline)#1992|see "1992" below]]). Some of the non-Takara sculpts were likely dropped due to licensing arrangements ([[Omega Supreme (G1)#Toys|Omega Supreme]], for example, was available as part of the competing Grandstand ''Convertors'' line around this time as "Omegatron"). Due to his absence from the 1985 Hasbro [[catalog]], [[Jetfire (G1)/toys#Toys|Jetfire]] has long been believed to have been held over until the 1986 range, but he was featured in the Autumn 1985 Argos catalog.<ref name="argos85">[http://issuu.com/retromash/docs/argos-no24-1985-autumn Fall 1985 Argos catalog] at Issuu.com.</ref>)

===Germany, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain===
<center>[[File:Milton_Bradley_logo.png|140px||link=Milton Bradley]] [[File:Joustra1.jpg|200px||link=Joustra]]</center>
{{main|Joustra}}

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 German, French, Dutch and Spanish text. Therefore, MB covered the markets where Joustra's ''Diaclone'' toys were previously available, with the addition of Spain. The first wave of MB-branded toys was a rather odd selection, a result of Joustra holding the rights to many of the remaining toys, among them Optimus Prime. As a consequence, Jetfire was initially marketed as Autobot leader. Following a deal between Hasbro Bradley and Joustra's struggling parent company Ceji, a large amount of unsold Joustra toys were ''literally'' repackaged and released as the second wave of MB ''Transformers''.<ref name="mbjoustra"/>

Special Note: the tech specs feature inconsistencies for the Dutch (Functie / Funktie) & Spanish (Función / Cometido) across the line. Usage appears to be figure consistent, meaning you will only see use of one or the other within the wave.

An odd one-off addition to the 1985 French Transformers offering was [[Horloge Robot]], a small robot that splits into 14 different vehicles and features a working watch on his chest, released by [[AVI France]] in collaboration with [[wikipedia:Canal+ (French TV channel)|Canal+]]. Weirdly enough, he is none other than a repackaging of a common bootleg of ''[[Diaclone]]'' [[Diaclone#Gats Blocker|Gats Blocker]], now released under the official ''Transformers'' brand... For some reason.

{{main|GiG}}
[[GiG]] ("Geegh", but sometimes misspelled "GiGi") originally released licensed ''Diaclone'' toys under the name "[[Trasformer]]", occasionally sporting color schemes only found on Hasbro's ''Transformers'' versions (very likely because Takara was shifting production of the toys from ''Diaclone'' to ''Transformers'' at the time). Whether it was pressure from Hasbro or a mere marketing decision, GiG eventually acquired an additional license from Hasbro and 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").<ref name="chicken">[http://tfsource.com/blog/the-chicken-or-the-gig-part-1/ "The Chicken or the Gig?", Part 1] and [http://tfsource.com/blog/the-chicken-or-the-gig-part-2/ Part 2] at TFSource</ref> In addition to the official ''Transformers'' logo, a small remainder of the old ''Trasformer'' logo would remain on the packaging until 1987.

Speaking of ''Trasformer'' remnants, the "Autorobot Cars" and the "Distructor Planes" all sported unique "safety" missiles with large rubber boppers on the end instead of the individual missiles the versions released everywhere else had.

The [[Mini-Vehicle|Autobot Minicars/Mini Vehicles]] were apparently never released by GiG. The Italian names for their characters come from the Italian dub of the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|animated series]].

==1986==
===United Kingdom===

1986 was the first year that the UK lost toys that had been available in previous years. 4 cars survived from the initial 1984 [[Autobot#Generation_1_.2F_Beast_Era|Autobot]] car assortment, none from the 1984 Autobot cars held over till 1985 in the UK and 6 of the 7 new 1985 cars: [[Skids_(G1)#Generation_1|Skids]] misses out on a second year of availability. 5 of the six original [[Mini-Vehicle|Minibots]] are gone, only [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys|Bumblebee]] survives. Gone are the [[Mini-Cassette|tape]] 2 packs, although they continue till 1988 in the US line, as are [[Soundwave (G1)/toys|Soundwave]] & [[Buzzsaw (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Buzzsaw]]].

The catalogue does not show [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]] & [[Megatron (G1)/toys|Megatron]] - at one point the Transformers UK comic claimed they were still available in 1986.

The catalogue also does not show [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys|Rodimus Prime]] & [[Wreck-Gar (G1)|Wreck-Gar]]: they make a very late appearance on UK shelves towards the end of 1986 tying in with the release of Transformers The Movie.

Missing from the Hasbro UK releases are the [[Predacon_(G1)#toys|Predacons]] & [[Gnaw (G1)#toys|Gnaw]], [[Sky Lynx (G1)#Toys|Sky Lynx]], [[Trypticon (G1)#Toys|Trypticon]], who was seen "grey imported" as the time and the Autobot [[Mini-Cassette|tapes]] & [[Ratbat (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Ratbat]] / [[Frenzy (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Frenzy]], who later had Chinese stock grey imports in the early 1990s.

Confirmed UK Hasbro releases from 1986 are:

===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 ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|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).

===Italy===

[[GiG]] was still doing their own thing at this point, with a bit of mix of Hasbro and Takara-style packaging. Notably, GiG's versions of the Aeriabolts, Protectobots, Stunticons and Combaticons came in boxes based on the Takara versions (including prominent "C" and "D" numbers and "Takara" instead of "Hasbro" logos), just like the previous year's Constructicons. 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.

===Greece===
[[File:ElGreco-Logo.png|center|125px|link=El Greco]]
{{main|El Greco}}

[[El Greco]] manufactured and released a small number of ''Transformers'' toys to the Greek market, with the only known El Greco releases this year being seven Autobot Mini-Vehicles. These are mostly identical to their international versions safe for a few minor coloration differences, with the used plastics generally being a bit brighter or darker than their Hasbro and Joustra equivalents. The cards the toys were available on were based on the Hasbro cards but fully translated to Greek (including the character names) and sported Hasbro logos in addition to the "El Greco" logo.

It's not entirely clear when exactly the following toys were first available in Greece; however, they couldn't have been released before 1986, since they depict the "[[Decipher the Decepticon]]" poster artwork on the back of their cards.

==1987==
===United Kingdom===
In the UK in 1987 the line lost all the pre 1986 toys. Most of the new toys for 1986 survive apart from the [[Mini-Vehicle|Minibot]] & [[Battlecharger]] assortments. As per the [[1987#US|main US line]] the cars & planes introduced in 1986 received a [[Targetmaster_(technology)|Targetmaster]] upgrade

[[Fortress_Maximus_(G1)#Generation_1|Fortress Maximius]] was not offered for sale through Hasbro UK but a number were given away as colouring competition prizes: a toy promoting this was on display in Hamley's in Regents Street, London, well into the 1990s.

Also missing in the UK were the new [[Decepticon#Generation_1_continuity_family|Decepticon]] [[Mini-Cassette|tapes]], both factions' [[Clone_(subgroup)|Clones]], [[Punch_(G1)#Toys|Doublespy Punch/Countepunch]], [[Sixshot_(G1)|Sixshot]] and [[Monsterbot_(G1)|the Monsterbots]]. Sixshot, the Decepticon Clones and Punch/Counterpunch would later be sold in the UK as Chinese Grey Imports in the early 1990s as would the standard size Autobot & Decepticon [[Headmaster_(technology)|Headmasters]].

===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:

{{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.}}

===Italy===

[[GiG]] continued to have their own slightly-different take on ''Transformers'', mainly in packaging; the "Racerbots" (Throttlebots), "Tecnobots" and "Terrorbots" (it should be obvious) came in Takara-styled boxes complete with Japanese ID numbers. "Tundertron" (Abominus) was available as a giftset even though Hasbro hadn't released the toys in that form in the USA; the box layout was again based very closely on the standard Hasbro combiner giftsets at that time, but lacking the Hasbro logo, and sporting the toys' Takara ID numbers. The "Tecnobot" and "Terrorbot" advertisement flyers depict Scattershot and Hun-Gurrr erroneously wearing their respective combiner heads in their uncombined robot modes. The Monsterbots' boxes were based on the Hasbro versions, but sported "Takara" instead of "Hasbro" logos and Takara ID numbers.

==1988==
===United Kingdom===
In 1988 all the previously available toys were eliminated from the catalogue, but there are hints, in the Argos catalogue and elsewhere, that some may have continued to be distributed. There is some debate as to if the [[Triggerbot|Triggerbots]] & [[Triggercon|Triggercons]] were available in the UK in 1988: they are not shown on the catalogue.

As in previous years, the new US released [[Mini-Cassette|tapes]] were not offered in the UK. The UK also missed out on the "second wave" US [[Pretender#Toys|Pretenders]]: [[Autobot#Generation_1_.2F_Beast_Era|Autobots]] [[Groundbreaker#Toys|Groundbreaker]], [[Sky High (Pretender)#Toys|Sky High]] and [[Splashdown#Toys|Splashdown]], and [[Decepticon#Generation_1_continuity_family|Decepticons]] [[Bugly (G1)#Toys|Bugly]], [[Finback#Toys|Finback]] & [[Iguanus (G1)#Toys|Iguanus]].

The [[Pretender Vehicle|Pretender Vehicles]] were a Woolworths exclusive in 1988 before becoming more generally available in 1989.

Towards the end of the year, the [[Micromaster#Toys|Micromaster]] [[Off Road Patrol|Off Road]], [[Race Car Patrol|Race Car]] and [[Air Strike Patrol|Air Strike]] patrols were available in the UK in their "Micro Transformer" packaging.

===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 (all of the toys on this list have been found in both English stickered packaging and French/Dutch packaging):

===Italy===

Starting with the Pretenders, [[GiG]] finally dropped the small remainder of the old ''Trasformer'' logo from their packaging. The most interesting releases this year are the "Grandi Set Transformers" (also called "Superset Transformers" in the 1988 Christmas catalog), re-releases of the prior Combiner giftsets with a pack of five random "Exogini Transformers" ([[Decoy]]s) as a freebie.

Known Italian releases from 1988 are:

==1989==

===United Kingdom===

For the first time the UK received all of [[1989#U.S.|this year's new western Transformers the same year they were released in the USA]].

The [[Pretender_Monsters#toys|Pretender Monsters] & [[Countdown (G1)|Countdown]] were Woolworths exclusives in 1989, with Countdown being more generally available the following year

===France, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Spain===

In 1989, all releases received French names, but not Dutch names. 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.

Confirmed releases include:

===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==
===Main Transformers Toyline===
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 releases, re-releases and exclusives in a pattern similar (if not exactly the same) to that of the European market; this would continue at least as far as ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]''.

Presumably, Germany got the UK versions of the 1990 [[Action Master]]s 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 include:

==="Classics" (Europe & Australasia)===

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, under the name "[[Classics (Europe)|Classics]]". Germany got the "Classics" toys in English packaging. Unlike the English and French/Dutch versions, the Italian and Spanish "Classics" don't actually say "Classic" anywhere on the packaging. The toys themselves are functionally identical to their original releases, complete with [[rubsign]]s. (Some toys released this year were altered the following year, but we'll talk about the details of that then.)

''Why'' this line happened is currently unknown, but there are several possibilities. It is known that the ''Transformers'' line was only ''just'' starting up in China (thanks to some legal shenanigans), and it appears the "Classics" toys were produced in the same Chinese factories, so the molds suddenly being available for production presented possibilities. It is unknown if Hasbro had originally intended for the toys to be released in the US market as well as in Europe, Australia and New Zealand, but the line's cancellation in the US killed that.

==1991==
===Main Transformers Toyline===
Although ''Transformers'' had come to a stop in the US, Hasbro continued releasing new toys to the European and Australasian markets. Following directly on from 1990's lineup was a number of new Action Masters, including an additional assortment of standard figures, figures with transforming exo-suit armour, and the infamously-paradoxical [[Action Master Elite]]s who could ''themselves'' transform. Again, Action Masters were available in English packaging in Germany.

The "Classic" range of older toys was also expanded with new and updated assortments, and was further complemented by a small quantity of toys from moulds previously exclusive to Japan—while these releases did not sport the "Classic" branding and had their own distinct box-back mural, they were released in the same style of gold packaging.

Confirmed releases include:

===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. As the rubsigns were the ''only'' faction symbols on the Throttlebots, they were replaced with paper Autobot symbol stickers.

'92 is when the European ''Transformers'' line really began to kick into high gear, even if the amount of product was a little on the light side. Hasbro produced new toys exclusively designed for the European market (though some did get imported to Japan), which had a far more cohesive design aesthetic than... well, the line ever had in its past. The Autobots trended towards brighter colors and generally had more "human" faces, and each one used bright-magenta fluorescent translucent plastic for vehicle-mode windscreens and a new innovation in the line, [[light-piping|light-piped]] eyes which appear to "glow" when light shines through them from behind. The Decepticons trended towards darker, cooler colors, their faces much more "robotic" (usually with facemasks and visor-eyes), and using bright-green translucent plastic for their canopies/optics. Both sides also included spring-loaded missile launchers, a [[gimmick]] that had been all but abandoned in Hasbro's markets due to more stringent [[for safety reasons|safety regulations for projectiles]] in the US.

Rounding out the year's product are a strange pair of re-released combiner teams ''lacking'' their combining ability... or individual names.

After this year, Hasbro decided European sales were good enough to [[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|try to revive ''Transformers'' in the US again]].<ref>[http://www.tfarchive.com/fandom/interviews/george_dunsay/george_dunsay_interview.php George Dunsay interview at TFArchive]: "At the time it was discontinued in the US, it was not a temporary decision. It is only after the success in Europe that the US people decided to reintroduce it"</ref>

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.

Confirmed releases include:

While Hasbro rolled out the new ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' toyline in the US, the European line continued under the original branding, with a slew of new all-new-mold toys, in the same style as the previous year's, with a variety of new gimmicks… though curiously with the "Generation 2" Autobot and Decepticon symbols applied to them. (A popular [[Misconceptions and urban legends about Transformers#Generation 2|rumor]] claims that this was due to the international licence for the original symbols having expired, which sounds highly dubious.) Some toys even got the "Autobot/Decepticon" text-stamp that was added to every ''Generation 2'' toy in the US.

On top of all these new molds, last year's Turbomasters, Predators, Rescue Force and Constructicons were still shipping to stores, making for quite a full assortment of toys for the final year of the original ''Transformers'' toyline globally. ''Salut!''

Many fans consider this year a sort of "Generation 1.5", further buoyed by the fact that all of the new molds got re-released in 1994 under the ''Generation 2'' branding in European markets.

The Transformers (European toyline)

2025-11-26T23:52:56Z

Payres: /* United Kingdom */ added 1992 hyperlink

{{nav-G1}}

Originally, European countries got the same [[The Transformers (toyline)| ''The Transformers'']] toys [[Hasbro]] had previously released in the USA, although different countries got different toys (with a few getting regional manufacturers that'd in turn also produce a few occasional noticeable [[variant|variants]]). Initially, numerous sub-contracted companies were responsible for releasing the toys in the individual European countries (which involved [[multilingual packaging|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.

As the ''Transformers'' toyline faded in popularity across North America and Japan throughout the early 90s, the franchise conversely experienced a small parallel renaissance of sorts in Europe, with the region earning several unique figures during this time. After ''The Transformers'' toyline ended in the US, the line continued in Europe until it was renamed into ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)#|Generation 2]]'' in 1994, thus making Europe the only market where the toyline wasn't cancelled at any point.
{{picsneeded|GiG cars with ridiculous "bopper" missiles}}

==1984==
While ''The Transformers'' would not reach most of Europe until 1985, a number of the toys from the 1984 US line were also available in the UK the same year. Given that the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)#Marvel UK|Marvel UK comic]] launched in September '84 (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.

Little is known about the earliest toys released in the UK. Common consensus is that they came in English-only packaging virtually indistinguishable from the US packaging. Recounts of which toys were and weren't available in the UK vary depending on who you ask. A surprising confirmed omission from the initial wave of 1984 toys is [[Megatron (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Megatron]], whose absence on the shelves was even noted in the letters page of the Marvel UK comic. Also of note is that the line's UK tag-line initially was "''Warrior'' Robots in Disguise", seen in the comic and on much of the early ancillary merchandise.

The assortment names used below are those seen in the leaflet which accompanied the 1984 range.

{{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.}}

==1985==
The ''Transformers'' toy line officially started in most European countries in 1985. It should be noted, though, that various European companies had already released licensed versions of [[TakaraTomy|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; Takara themselves released ''Diaclone'' in Finland). Some of the toys in those lines sported Hasbro-series changes, including color schemes and even Autobot symbols(!), as Takara was already shifting production of the toys from ''Diaclone'' to their own domestic release of ''Transformers''. But it wasn't until 1985 that ''Transformers'' toys were ''officially'' introduced to the various European markets under that name.

===United Kingdom===

All 1984 toys were still available in 1985, now with the addition of [[rubsign]]s. 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. Alongside with a variation of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Optimus Prime]] that sported red instead of blue feet, Megatron was manufactured by French company Ceji as part of a deal with Hasbro, and the red-footed version of Optimus Prime was also released by [[Milton Bradley]] in mainland Europe (see below).<ref name="redfoot1">[http://www.tf-1.com/articles/eurous_frame.php?art=redfoot "Red Footed Optimus Prime"] at TF-1.com</ref><ref name="mbjoustra">[http://20thcenturytoycollector.com/mb-transformers-part-4/ "The MB & Joustra Connection"] at 20th Century Toy Collector</ref>

Oddly, numerous toys were left out of the UK range, never to see official release: notably [[Swoop (G1)/toys#Toys|Swoop]], [[Shockwave (G1)/toys#Toys|Shockwave]] and [[Blaster (G1)/toys#Toys|Blaster]]. The [[Constructicon (G1)#Toys|Constructicon]]s were also missing; in the early 90s they got a semi-official import release, and a de-combiner'ed [[redeco]] release ([[The_Transformers_(European_toyline)#1992|see "1992" below]]). Some of the non-Takara sculpts were likely dropped due to licensing arrangements ([[Omega Supreme (G1)#Toys|Omega Supreme]], for example, was available as part of the competing Grandstand ''Convertors'' line around this time as "Omegatron"). Due to his absence from the 1985 Hasbro [[catalog]], [[Jetfire (G1)/toys#Toys|Jetfire]] has long been believed to have been held over until the 1986 range, but he was featured in the Autumn 1985 Argos catalog.<ref name="argos85">[http://issuu.com/retromash/docs/argos-no24-1985-autumn Fall 1985 Argos catalog] at Issuu.com.</ref>)

<center>[[File:Milton_Bradley_logo.png|140px||link=Milton Bradley]] [[File:Joustra1.jpg|200px||link=Joustra]]</center>
{{main|Joustra}}

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 German, French, Dutch and Spanish text. Therefore, MB covered the markets where Joustra's ''Diaclone'' toys were previously available, with the addition of Spain. The first wave of MB-branded toys was a rather odd selection, a result of Joustra holding the rights to many of the remaining toys, among them Optimus Prime. As a consequence, Jetfire was initially marketed as Autobot leader. Following a deal between Hasbro Bradley and Joustra's struggling parent company Ceji, a large amount of unsold Joustra toys were ''literally'' repackaged and released as the second wave of MB ''Transformers''.<ref name="mbjoustra"/>

Special Note: the tech specs feature inconsistencies for the Dutch (Functie / Funktie) & Spanish (Función / Cometido) across the line. Usage appears to be figure consistent, meaning you will only see use of one or the other within the wave.

An odd one-off addition to the 1985 French Transformers offering was [[Horloge Robot]], a small robot that splits into 14 different vehicles and features a working watch on his chest, released by [[AVI France]] in collaboration with [[wikipedia:Canal+ (French TV channel)|Canal+]]. Weirdly enough, he is none other than a repackaging of a common bootleg of ''[[Diaclone]]'' [[Diaclone#Gats Blocker|Gats Blocker]], now released under the official ''Transformers'' brand... For some reason.

{{main|GiG}}
[[GiG]] ("Geegh", but sometimes misspelled "GiGi") originally released licensed ''Diaclone'' toys under the name "[[Trasformer]]", occasionally sporting color schemes only found on Hasbro's ''Transformers'' versions (very likely because Takara was shifting production of the toys from ''Diaclone'' to ''Transformers'' at the time). Whether it was pressure from Hasbro or a mere marketing decision, GiG eventually acquired an additional license from Hasbro and 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").<ref name="chicken">[http://tfsource.com/blog/the-chicken-or-the-gig-part-1/ "The Chicken or the Gig?", Part 1] and [http://tfsource.com/blog/the-chicken-or-the-gig-part-2/ Part 2] at TFSource</ref> In addition to the official ''Transformers'' logo, a small remainder of the old ''Trasformer'' logo would remain on the packaging until 1987.

Speaking of ''Trasformer'' remnants, the "Autorobot Cars" and the "Distructor Planes" all sported unique "safety" missiles with large rubber boppers on the end instead of the individual missiles the versions released everywhere else had.

The [[Mini-Vehicle|Autobot Minicars/Mini Vehicles]] were apparently never released by GiG. The Italian names for their characters come from the Italian dub of the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|animated series]].

==1986==
===United Kingdom===

1986 was the first year that the UK lost toys that had been available in previous years. 4 cars survived from the initial 1984 [[Autobot#Generation_1_.2F_Beast_Era|Autobot]] car assortment, none from the 1984 Autobot cars held over till 1985 in the UK and 6 of the 7 new 1985 cars: [[Skids_(G1)#Generation_1|Skids]] misses out on a second year of availability. 5 of the six original [[Mini-Vehicle|Minibots]] are gone, only [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys|Bumblebee]] survives. Gone are the [[Mini-Cassette|tape]] 2 packs, although they continue till 1988 in the US line, as are [[Soundwave (G1)/toys|Soundwave]] & [[Buzzsaw (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Buzzsaw]]].

The catalogue does not show [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]] & [[Megatron (G1)/toys|Megatron]] - at one point the Transformers UK comic claimed they were still available in 1986.

The catalogue also does not show [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys|Rodimus Prime]] & [[Wreck-Gar (G1)|Wreck-Gar]]: they make a very late appearance on UK shelves towards the end of 1986 tying in with the release of Transformers The Movie.

Missing from the Hasbro UK releases are the [[Predacon_(G1)#toys|Predacons]] & [[Gnaw (G1)#toys|Gnaw]], [[Sky Lynx (G1)#Toys|Sky Lynx]], [[Trypticon (G1)#Toys|Trypticon]], who was seen "grey imported" as the time and the Autobot [[Mini-Cassette|tapes]] & [[Ratbat (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Ratbat]] / [[Frenzy (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Frenzy]], who later had Chinese stock grey imports in the early 1990s.

Confirmed UK Hasbro releases from 1986 are:

===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 ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|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).

===Italy===

[[GiG]] was still doing their own thing at this point, with a bit of mix of Hasbro and Takara-style packaging. Notably, GiG's versions of the Aeriabolts, Protectobots, Stunticons and Combaticons came in boxes based on the Takara versions (including prominent "C" and "D" numbers and "Takara" instead of "Hasbro" logos), just like the previous year's Constructicons. 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.

===Greece===
[[File:ElGreco-Logo.png|center|125px|link=El Greco]]
{{main|El Greco}}

[[El Greco]] manufactured and released a small number of ''Transformers'' toys to the Greek market, with the only known El Greco releases this year being seven Autobot Mini-Vehicles. These are mostly identical to their international versions safe for a few minor coloration differences, with the used plastics generally being a bit brighter or darker than their Hasbro and Joustra equivalents. The cards the toys were available on were based on the Hasbro cards but fully translated to Greek (including the character names) and sported Hasbro logos in addition to the "El Greco" logo.

It's not entirely clear when exactly the following toys were first available in Greece; however, they couldn't have been released before 1986, since they depict the "[[Decipher the Decepticon]]" poster artwork on the back of their cards.

==1987==
===United Kingdom===
In the UK in 1987 the line lost all the pre 1986 toys. Most of the new toys for 1986 survive apart from the [[Mini-Vehicle|Minibot]] & [[Battlecharger]] assortments. As per the [[1987#US|main US line]] the cars & planes introduced in 1986 received a [[Targetmaster_(technology)|Targetmaster]] upgrade

[[Fortress_Maximus_(G1)#Generation_1|Fortress Maximius]] was not offered for sale through Hasbro UK but a number were given away as colouring competition prizes: a toy promoting this was on display in Hamley's in Regents Street, London, well into the 1990s.

Also missing in the UK were the new [[Decepticon#Generation_1_continuity_family|Decepticon]] [[Mini-Cassette|tapes]], both factions' [[Clone_(subgroup)|Clones]], [[Punch_(G1)#Toys|Doublespy Punch/Countepunch]], [[Sixshot_(G1)|Sixshot]] and [[Monsterbot_(G1)|the Monsterbots]]. Sixshot, the Decepticon Clones and Punch/Counterpunch would later be sold in the UK as Chinese Grey Imports in the early 1990s as would the standard size Autobot & Decepticon [[Headmaster_(technology)|Headmasters]].

===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:

{{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.}}

===Italy===

[[GiG]] continued to have their own slightly-different take on ''Transformers'', mainly in packaging; the "Racerbots" (Throttlebots), "Tecnobots" and "Terrorbots" (it should be obvious) came in Takara-styled boxes complete with Japanese ID numbers. "Tundertron" (Abominus) was available as a giftset even though Hasbro hadn't released the toys in that form in the USA; the box layout was again based very closely on the standard Hasbro combiner giftsets at that time, but lacking the Hasbro logo, and sporting the toys' Takara ID numbers. The "Tecnobot" and "Terrorbot" advertisement flyers depict Scattershot and Hun-Gurrr erroneously wearing their respective combiner heads in their uncombined robot modes. The Monsterbots' boxes were based on the Hasbro versions, but sported "Takara" instead of "Hasbro" logos and Takara ID numbers.

==1988==
===United Kingdom===
In 1988 all the previously available toys were eliminated from the catalogue, but there are hints, in the Argos catalogue and elsewhere, that some may have continued to be distributed. There is some debate as to if the [[Triggerbot|Triggerbots]] & [[Triggercon|Triggercons]] were available in the UK in 1988: they are not shown on the catalogue.

As in previous years, the new US released [[Mini-Cassette|tapes]] were not offered in the UK. The UK also missed out on the "second wave" US [[Pretender#Toys|Pretenders]]: [[Autobot#Generation_1_.2F_Beast_Era|Autobots]] [[Groundbreaker#Toys|Groundbreaker]], [[Sky High (Pretender)#Toys|Sky High]] and [[Splashdown#Toys|Splashdown]], and [[Decepticon#Generation_1_continuity_family|Decepticons]] [[Bugly (G1)#Toys|Bugly]], [[Finback#Toys|Finback]] & [[Iguanus (G1)#Toys|Iguanus]].

The [[Pretender Vehicle|Pretender Vehicles]] were a Woolworths exclusive in 1988 before becoming more generally available in 1989.

Towards the end of the year, the [[Micromaster#Toys|Micromaster]] [[Off Road Patrol|Off Road]], [[Race Car Patrol|Race Car]] and [[Air Strike Patrol|Air Strike]] patrols were available in the UK in their "Micro Transformer" packaging.

===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 (all of the toys on this list have been found in both English stickered packaging and French/Dutch packaging):

===Italy===

Starting with the Pretenders, [[GiG]] finally dropped the small remainder of the old ''Trasformer'' logo from their packaging. The most interesting releases this year are the "Grandi Set Transformers" (also called "Superset Transformers" in the 1988 Christmas catalog), re-releases of the prior Combiner giftsets with a pack of five random "Exogini Transformers" ([[Decoy]]s) as a freebie.

Known Italian releases from 1988 are:

==1989==

===United Kingdom===

For the first time the UK received all of this year's new western Transformers the same year they were released in the USA.

The Pretender Monsters & Countdown were Woolworths exclusives in 1989, with Countdown being more generally available the following year

===France, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Spain===

In 1989, all releases received French names, but not Dutch names. 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.

Confirmed releases include:

===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==
===Main Transformers Toyline===
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 releases, re-releases and exclusives in a pattern similar (if not exactly the same) to that of the European market; this would continue at least as far as ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]''.

Presumably, Germany got the UK versions of the 1990 [[Action Master]]s 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 include:

==="Classics" (Europe & Australasia)===

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, under the name "[[Classics (Europe)|Classics]]". Germany got the "Classics" toys in English packaging. Unlike the English and French/Dutch versions, the Italian and Spanish "Classics" don't actually say "Classic" anywhere on the packaging. The toys themselves are functionally identical to their original releases, complete with [[rubsign]]s. (Some toys released this year were altered the following year, but we'll talk about the details of that then.)

''Why'' this line happened is currently unknown, but there are several possibilities. It is known that the ''Transformers'' line was only ''just'' starting up in China (thanks to some legal shenanigans), and it appears the "Classics" toys were produced in the same Chinese factories, so the molds suddenly being available for production presented possibilities. It is unknown if Hasbro had originally intended for the toys to be released in the US market as well as in Europe, Australia and New Zealand, but the line's cancellation in the US killed that.

==1991==
===Main Transformers Toyline===
Although ''Transformers'' had come to a stop in the US, Hasbro continued releasing new toys to the European and Australasian markets. Following directly on from 1990's lineup was a number of new Action Masters, including an additional assortment of standard figures, figures with transforming exo-suit armour, and the infamously-paradoxical [[Action Master Elite]]s who could ''themselves'' transform. Again, Action Masters were available in English packaging in Germany.

The "Classic" range of older toys was also expanded with new and updated assortments, and was further complemented by a small quantity of toys from moulds previously exclusive to Japan—while these releases did not sport the "Classic" branding and had their own distinct box-back mural, they were released in the same style of gold packaging.

Confirmed releases include:

===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. As the rubsigns were the ''only'' faction symbols on the Throttlebots, they were replaced with paper Autobot symbol stickers.

==1992==
[[File:G1-thirdlogo.png|center|250px]]

[[File:G1Stalker toy.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.44|Predator [[Stalker (G1)#Toys|Stalker]] (with [[Snare#Toys|Snare]] attached in the lower-right)]]
'92 is when the European ''Transformers'' line really began to kick into high gear, even if the amount of product was a little on the light side. Hasbro produced new toys exclusively designed for the European market (though some did get imported to Japan), which had a far more cohesive design aesthetic than... well, the line ever had in its past. The Autobots trended towards brighter colors and generally had more "human" faces, and each one used bright-magenta fluorescent translucent plastic for vehicle-mode windscreens and a new innovation in the line, [[light-piping|light-piped]] eyes which appear to "glow" when light shines through them from behind. The Decepticons trended towards darker, cooler colors, their faces much more "robotic" (usually with facemasks and visor-eyes), and using bright-green translucent plastic for their canopies/optics. Both sides also included spring-loaded missile launchers, a [[gimmick]] that had been all but abandoned in Hasbro's markets due to more stringent [[for safety reasons|safety regulations for projectiles]] in the US.

Rounding out the year's product are a strange pair of re-released combiner teams ''lacking'' their combining ability... or individual names.

After this year, Hasbro decided European sales were good enough to [[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|try to revive ''Transformers'' in the US again]].<ref>[http://www.tfarchive.com/fandom/interviews/george_dunsay/george_dunsay_interview.php George Dunsay interview at TFArchive]: "At the time it was discontinued in the US, it was not a temporary decision. It is only after the success in Europe that the US people decided to reintroduce it"</ref>

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.

[[File:G1Trakkon-MISB.jpg|right|215px|thumb|Trakkon Calcar in packaging.]]
While Hasbro rolled out the new ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' toyline in the US, the European line continued under the original branding, with a slew of new all-new-mold toys, in the same style as the previous year's, with a variety of new gimmicks… though curiously with the "Generation 2" Autobot and Decepticon symbols applied to them. (A popular [[Misconceptions and urban legends about Transformers#Generation 2|rumor]] claims that this was due to the international licence for the original symbols having expired, which sounds highly dubious.) Some toys even got the "Autobot/Decepticon" text-stamp that was added to every ''Generation 2'' toy in the US.

On top of all these new molds, last year's Turbomasters, Predators, Rescue Force and Constructicons were still shipping to stores, making for quite a full assortment of toys for the final year of the original ''Transformers'' toyline globally. ''Salut!''

Many fans consider this year a sort of "Generation 1.5", further buoyed by the fact that all of the new molds got re-released in 1994 under the ''Generation 2'' branding in European markets.

The Transformers (European toyline)

2025-11-26T23:51:10Z

Payres: /* United Kingdom */ added 1988 description hyperlinks

{{nav-G1}}

Originally, European countries got the same [[The Transformers (toyline)| ''The Transformers'']] toys [[Hasbro]] had previously released in the USA, although different countries got different toys (with a few getting regional manufacturers that'd in turn also produce a few occasional noticeable [[variant|variants]]). Initially, numerous sub-contracted companies were responsible for releasing the toys in the individual European countries (which involved [[multilingual packaging|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.

As the ''Transformers'' toyline faded in popularity across North America and Japan throughout the early 90s, the franchise conversely experienced a small parallel renaissance of sorts in Europe, with the region earning several unique figures during this time. After ''The Transformers'' toyline ended in the US, the line continued in Europe until it was renamed into ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)#|Generation 2]]'' in 1994, thus making Europe the only market where the toyline wasn't cancelled at any point.
{{picsneeded|GiG cars with ridiculous "bopper" missiles}}

==1984==
While ''The Transformers'' would not reach most of Europe until 1985, a number of the toys from the 1984 US line were also available in the UK the same year. Given that the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)#Marvel UK|Marvel UK comic]] launched in September '84 (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.

Little is known about the earliest toys released in the UK. Common consensus is that they came in English-only packaging virtually indistinguishable from the US packaging. Recounts of which toys were and weren't available in the UK vary depending on who you ask. A surprising confirmed omission from the initial wave of 1984 toys is [[Megatron (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Megatron]], whose absence on the shelves was even noted in the letters page of the Marvel UK comic. Also of note is that the line's UK tag-line initially was "''Warrior'' Robots in Disguise", seen in the comic and on much of the early ancillary merchandise.

The assortment names used below are those seen in the leaflet which accompanied the 1984 range.

{{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.}}

==1985==
The ''Transformers'' toy line officially started in most European countries in 1985. It should be noted, though, that various European companies had already released licensed versions of [[TakaraTomy|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; Takara themselves released ''Diaclone'' in Finland). Some of the toys in those lines sported Hasbro-series changes, including color schemes and even Autobot symbols(!), as Takara was already shifting production of the toys from ''Diaclone'' to their own domestic release of ''Transformers''. But it wasn't until 1985 that ''Transformers'' toys were ''officially'' introduced to the various European markets under that name.

===United Kingdom===

All 1984 toys were still available in 1985, now with the addition of [[rubsign]]s. 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. Alongside with a variation of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Optimus Prime]] that sported red instead of blue feet, Megatron was manufactured by French company Ceji as part of a deal with Hasbro, and the red-footed version of Optimus Prime was also released by [[Milton Bradley]] in mainland Europe (see below).<ref name="redfoot1">[http://www.tf-1.com/articles/eurous_frame.php?art=redfoot "Red Footed Optimus Prime"] at TF-1.com</ref><ref name="mbjoustra">[http://20thcenturytoycollector.com/mb-transformers-part-4/ "The MB & Joustra Connection"] at 20th Century Toy Collector</ref>

Oddly, numerous toys were left out of the UK range, never to see official release: notably [[Swoop (G1)/toys#Toys|Swoop]], [[Shockwave (G1)/toys#Toys|Shockwave]] and [[Blaster (G1)/toys#Toys|Blaster]]. The [[Constructicon (G1)#Toys|Constructicon]]s were also missing; in the early 90s they got a semi-official import release, and a de-combiner'ed [[redeco]] release (see "1992" below). Some of the non-Takara sculpts were likely dropped due to licensing arrangements ([[Omega Supreme (G1)#Toys|Omega Supreme]], for example, was available as part of the competing Grandstand ''Convertors'' line around this time as "Omegatron"). Due to his absence from the 1985 Hasbro [[catalog]], [[Jetfire (G1)/toys#Toys|Jetfire]] has long been believed to have been held over until the 1986 range, but he was featured in the Autumn 1985 Argos catalog.<ref name="argos85">[http://issuu.com/retromash/docs/argos-no24-1985-autumn Fall 1985 Argos catalog] at Issuu.com.</ref>)

{{main|Joustra}}

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 German, French, Dutch and Spanish text. Therefore, MB covered the markets where Joustra's ''Diaclone'' toys were previously available, with the addition of Spain. The first wave of MB-branded toys was a rather odd selection, a result of Joustra holding the rights to many of the remaining toys, among them Optimus Prime. As a consequence, Jetfire was initially marketed as Autobot leader. Following a deal between Hasbro Bradley and Joustra's struggling parent company Ceji, a large amount of unsold Joustra toys were ''literally'' repackaged and released as the second wave of MB ''Transformers''.<ref name="mbjoustra"/>

Special Note: the tech specs feature inconsistencies for the Dutch (Functie / Funktie) & Spanish (Función / Cometido) across the line. Usage appears to be figure consistent, meaning you will only see use of one or the other within the wave.

An odd one-off addition to the 1985 French Transformers offering was [[Horloge Robot]], a small robot that splits into 14 different vehicles and features a working watch on his chest, released by [[AVI France]] in collaboration with [[wikipedia:Canal+ (French TV channel)|Canal+]]. Weirdly enough, he is none other than a repackaging of a common bootleg of ''[[Diaclone]]'' [[Diaclone#Gats Blocker|Gats Blocker]], now released under the official ''Transformers'' brand... For some reason.

<center>[[Image:Giglogo.jpg|140px|link=GiG]]‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎ㅤ‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎ㅤ[[Image:Trasformer_logo.png|200px|link=Trasformer]]</center>
{{main|GiG}}
[[GiG]] ("Geegh", but sometimes misspelled "GiGi") originally released licensed ''Diaclone'' toys under the name "[[Trasformer]]", occasionally sporting color schemes only found on Hasbro's ''Transformers'' versions (very likely because Takara was shifting production of the toys from ''Diaclone'' to ''Transformers'' at the time). Whether it was pressure from Hasbro or a mere marketing decision, GiG eventually acquired an additional license from Hasbro and 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").<ref name="chicken">[http://tfsource.com/blog/the-chicken-or-the-gig-part-1/ "The Chicken or the Gig?", Part 1] and [http://tfsource.com/blog/the-chicken-or-the-gig-part-2/ Part 2] at TFSource</ref> In addition to the official ''Transformers'' logo, a small remainder of the old ''Trasformer'' logo would remain on the packaging until 1987.

Speaking of ''Trasformer'' remnants, the "Autorobot Cars" and the "Distructor Planes" all sported unique "safety" missiles with large rubber boppers on the end instead of the individual missiles the versions released everywhere else had.

The [[Mini-Vehicle|Autobot Minicars/Mini Vehicles]] were apparently never released by GiG. The Italian names for their characters come from the Italian dub of the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|animated series]].

==1986==
===United Kingdom===

1986 was the first year that the UK lost toys that had been available in previous years. 4 cars survived from the initial 1984 [[Autobot#Generation_1_.2F_Beast_Era|Autobot]] car assortment, none from the 1984 Autobot cars held over till 1985 in the UK and 6 of the 7 new 1985 cars: [[Skids_(G1)#Generation_1|Skids]] misses out on a second year of availability. 5 of the six original [[Mini-Vehicle|Minibots]] are gone, only [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys|Bumblebee]] survives. Gone are the [[Mini-Cassette|tape]] 2 packs, although they continue till 1988 in the US line, as are [[Soundwave (G1)/toys|Soundwave]] & [[Buzzsaw (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Buzzsaw]]].

The catalogue does not show [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]] & [[Megatron (G1)/toys|Megatron]] - at one point the Transformers UK comic claimed they were still available in 1986.

The catalogue also does not show [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys|Rodimus Prime]] & [[Wreck-Gar (G1)|Wreck-Gar]]: they make a very late appearance on UK shelves towards the end of 1986 tying in with the release of Transformers The Movie.

Missing from the Hasbro UK releases are the [[Predacon_(G1)#toys|Predacons]] & [[Gnaw (G1)#toys|Gnaw]], [[Sky Lynx (G1)#Toys|Sky Lynx]], [[Trypticon (G1)#Toys|Trypticon]], who was seen "grey imported" as the time and the Autobot [[Mini-Cassette|tapes]] & [[Ratbat (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Ratbat]] / [[Frenzy (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Frenzy]], who later had Chinese stock grey imports in the early 1990s.

Presumably, ''Transformers'' didn't sell well in Germany in 1985, as German was dropped as a language from the packaging until ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|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).

===Italy===

[[GiG]] was still doing their own thing at this point, with a bit of mix of Hasbro and Takara-style packaging. Notably, GiG's versions of the Aeriabolts, Protectobots, Stunticons and Combaticons came in boxes based on the Takara versions (including prominent "C" and "D" numbers and "Takara" instead of "Hasbro" logos), just like the previous year's Constructicons. 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.

Known Italian releases of 1986 toys are:

===Greece===
[[File:ElGreco-Logo.png|center|125px|link=El Greco]]
{{main|El Greco}}

[[El Greco]] manufactured and released a small number of ''Transformers'' toys to the Greek market, with the only known El Greco releases this year being seven Autobot Mini-Vehicles. These are mostly identical to their international versions safe for a few minor coloration differences, with the used plastics generally being a bit brighter or darker than their Hasbro and Joustra equivalents. The cards the toys were available on were based on the Hasbro cards but fully translated to Greek (including the character names) and sported Hasbro logos in addition to the "El Greco" logo.

It's not entirely clear when exactly the following toys were first available in Greece; however, they couldn't have been released before 1986, since they depict the "[[Decipher the Decepticon]]" poster artwork on the back of their cards.

==1987==
===United Kingdom===
In the UK in 1987 the line lost all the pre 1986 toys. Most of the new toys for 1986 survive apart from the [[Mini-Vehicle|Minibot]] & [[Battlecharger]] assortments. As per the [[1987#US|main US line]] the cars & planes introduced in 1986 received a [[Targetmaster_(technology)|Targetmaster]] upgrade

[[Fortress_Maximus_(G1)#Generation_1|Fortress Maximius]] was not offered for sale through Hasbro UK but a number were given away as colouring competition prizes: a toy promoting this was on display in Hamley's in Regents Street, London, well into the 1990s.

Also missing in the UK were the new [[Decepticon#Generation_1_continuity_family|Decepticon]] [[Mini-Cassette|tapes]], both factions' [[Clone_(subgroup)|Clones]], [[Punch_(G1)#Toys|Doublespy Punch/Countepunch]], [[Sixshot_(G1)|Sixshot]] and [[Monsterbot_(G1)|the Monsterbots]]. Sixshot, the Decepticon Clones and Punch/Counterpunch would later be sold in the UK as Chinese Grey Imports in the early 1990s as would the standard size Autobot & Decepticon [[Headmaster_(technology)|Headmasters]].

===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:

===Italy===

[[GiG]] continued to have their own slightly-different take on ''Transformers'', mainly in packaging; the "Racerbots" (Throttlebots), "Tecnobots" and "Terrorbots" (it should be obvious) came in Takara-styled boxes complete with Japanese ID numbers. "Tundertron" (Abominus) was available as a giftset even though Hasbro hadn't released the toys in that form in the USA; the box layout was again based very closely on the standard Hasbro combiner giftsets at that time, but lacking the Hasbro logo, and sporting the toys' Takara ID numbers. The "Tecnobot" and "Terrorbot" advertisement flyers depict Scattershot and Hun-Gurrr erroneously wearing their respective combiner heads in their uncombined robot modes. The Monsterbots' boxes were based on the Hasbro versions, but sported "Takara" instead of "Hasbro" logos and Takara ID numbers.

==1988==
===United Kingdom===
In 1988 all the previously available toys were eliminated from the catalogue, but there are hints, in the Argos catalogue and elsewhere, that some may have continued to be distributed. There is some debate as to if the [[Triggerbot|Triggerbots]] & [[Triggercon|Triggercons]] were available in the UK in 1988: they are not shown on the catalogue.

As in previous years, the new US released [[Mini-Cassette|tapes]] were not offered in the UK. The UK also missed out on the "second wave" US [[Pretender#Toys|Pretenders]]: [[Autobot#Generation_1_.2F_Beast_Era|Autobots]] [[Groundbreaker#Toys|Groundbreaker]], [[Sky High (Pretender)#Toys|Sky High]] and [[Splashdown#Toys|Splashdown]], and [[Decepticon#Generation_1_continuity_family|Decepticons]] [[Bugly (G1)#Toys|Bugly]], [[Finback#Toys|Finback]] & [[Iguanus (G1)#Toys|Iguanus]].

The [[Pretender Vehicle|Pretender Vehicles]] were a Woolworths exclusive in 1988 before becoming more generally available in 1989.

Towards the end of the year, the [[Micromaster#Toys|Micromaster]] [[Off Road Patrol|Off Road]], [[Race Car Patrol|Race Car]] and [[Air Strike Patrol|Air Strike]] patrols were available in the UK in their "Micro Transformer" packaging.

===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 (all of the toys on this list have been found in both English stickered packaging and French/Dutch packaging):

===Italy===

Starting with the Pretenders, [[GiG]] finally dropped the small remainder of the old ''Trasformer'' logo from their packaging. The most interesting releases this year are the "Grandi Set Transformers" (also called "Superset Transformers" in the 1988 Christmas catalog), re-releases of the prior Combiner giftsets with a pack of five random "Exogini Transformers" ([[Decoy]]s) as a freebie.

Known Italian releases from 1988 are:

==1989==

===United Kingdom===

For the first time the UK received all of this year's new western Transformers the same year they were released in the USA.

The Pretender Monsters & Countdown were Woolworths exclusives in 1989, with Countdown being more generally available the following year

===France, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Spain===

In 1989, all releases received French names, but not Dutch names. 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.

Confirmed releases include:

===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==
===Main Transformers Toyline===
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 releases, re-releases and exclusives in a pattern similar (if not exactly the same) to that of the European market; this would continue at least as far as ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]''.

Presumably, Germany got the UK versions of the 1990 [[Action Master]]s 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 include:

==="Classics" (Europe & Australasia)===

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, under the name "[[Classics (Europe)|Classics]]". Germany got the "Classics" toys in English packaging. Unlike the English and French/Dutch versions, the Italian and Spanish "Classics" don't actually say "Classic" anywhere on the packaging. The toys themselves are functionally identical to their original releases, complete with [[rubsign]]s. (Some toys released this year were altered the following year, but we'll talk about the details of that then.)

''Why'' this line happened is currently unknown, but there are several possibilities. It is known that the ''Transformers'' line was only ''just'' starting up in China (thanks to some legal shenanigans), and it appears the "Classics" toys were produced in the same Chinese factories, so the molds suddenly being available for production presented possibilities. It is unknown if Hasbro had originally intended for the toys to be released in the US market as well as in Europe, Australia and New Zealand, but the line's cancellation in the US killed that.

==1991==
===Main Transformers Toyline===
Although ''Transformers'' had come to a stop in the US, Hasbro continued releasing new toys to the European and Australasian markets. Following directly on from 1990's lineup was a number of new Action Masters, including an additional assortment of standard figures, figures with transforming exo-suit armour, and the infamously-paradoxical [[Action Master Elite]]s who could ''themselves'' transform. Again, Action Masters were available in English packaging in Germany.

The "Classic" range of older toys was also expanded with new and updated assortments, and was further complemented by a small quantity of toys from moulds previously exclusive to Japan—while these releases did not sport the "Classic" branding and had their own distinct box-back mural, they were released in the same style of gold packaging.

Confirmed releases include:

===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. As the rubsigns were the ''only'' faction symbols on the Throttlebots, they were replaced with paper Autobot symbol stickers.

[[File:G1Stalker toy.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.44|Predator [[Stalker (G1)#Toys|Stalker]] (with [[Snare#Toys|Snare]] attached in the lower-right)]]
'92 is when the European ''Transformers'' line really began to kick into high gear, even if the amount of product was a little on the light side. Hasbro produced new toys exclusively designed for the European market (though some did get imported to Japan), which had a far more cohesive design aesthetic than... well, the line ever had in its past. The Autobots trended towards brighter colors and generally had more "human" faces, and each one used bright-magenta fluorescent translucent plastic for vehicle-mode windscreens and a new innovation in the line, [[light-piping|light-piped]] eyes which appear to "glow" when light shines through them from behind. The Decepticons trended towards darker, cooler colors, their faces much more "robotic" (usually with facemasks and visor-eyes), and using bright-green translucent plastic for their canopies/optics. Both sides also included spring-loaded missile launchers, a [[gimmick]] that had been all but abandoned in Hasbro's markets due to more stringent [[for safety reasons|safety regulations for projectiles]] in the US.

Rounding out the year's product are a strange pair of re-released combiner teams ''lacking'' their combining ability... or individual names.

After this year, Hasbro decided European sales were good enough to [[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|try to revive ''Transformers'' in the US again]].<ref>[http://www.tfarchive.com/fandom/interviews/george_dunsay/george_dunsay_interview.php George Dunsay interview at TFArchive]: "At the time it was discontinued in the US, it was not a temporary decision. It is only after the success in Europe that the US people decided to reintroduce it"</ref>

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.

While Hasbro rolled out the new ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' toyline in the US, the European line continued under the original branding, with a slew of new all-new-mold toys, in the same style as the previous year's, with a variety of new gimmicks… though curiously with the "Generation 2" Autobot and Decepticon symbols applied to them. (A popular [[Misconceptions and urban legends about Transformers#Generation 2|rumor]] claims that this was due to the international licence for the original symbols having expired, which sounds highly dubious.) Some toys even got the "Autobot/Decepticon" text-stamp that was added to every ''Generation 2'' toy in the US.

On top of all these new molds, last year's Turbomasters, Predators, Rescue Force and Constructicons were still shipping to stores, making for quite a full assortment of toys for the final year of the original ''Transformers'' toyline globally. ''Salut!''

Many fans consider this year a sort of "Generation 1.5", further buoyed by the fact that all of the new molds got re-released in 1994 under the ''Generation 2'' branding in European markets.

The Transformers (European toyline)

2025-11-26T23:36:51Z

Payres: /* United Kingdom */ finished 1987 description hyperlinks

{{nav-G1}}

Originally, European countries got the same [[The Transformers (toyline)| ''The Transformers'']] toys [[Hasbro]] had previously released in the USA, although different countries got different toys (with a few getting regional manufacturers that'd in turn also produce a few occasional noticeable [[variant|variants]]). Initially, numerous sub-contracted companies were responsible for releasing the toys in the individual European countries (which involved [[multilingual packaging|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.

As the ''Transformers'' toyline faded in popularity across North America and Japan throughout the early 90s, the franchise conversely experienced a small parallel renaissance of sorts in Europe, with the region earning several unique figures during this time. After ''The Transformers'' toyline ended in the US, the line continued in Europe until it was renamed into ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)#|Generation 2]]'' in 1994, thus making Europe the only market where the toyline wasn't cancelled at any point.
{{picsneeded|GiG cars with ridiculous "bopper" missiles}}

==1984==
While ''The Transformers'' would not reach most of Europe until 1985, a number of the toys from the 1984 US line were also available in the UK the same year. Given that the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)#Marvel UK|Marvel UK comic]] launched in September '84 (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.

Little is known about the earliest toys released in the UK. Common consensus is that they came in English-only packaging virtually indistinguishable from the US packaging. Recounts of which toys were and weren't available in the UK vary depending on who you ask. A surprising confirmed omission from the initial wave of 1984 toys is [[Megatron (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Megatron]], whose absence on the shelves was even noted in the letters page of the Marvel UK comic. Also of note is that the line's UK tag-line initially was "''Warrior'' Robots in Disguise", seen in the comic and on much of the early ancillary merchandise.

The assortment names used below are those seen in the leaflet which accompanied the 1984 range.

{{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.}}

==1985==
The ''Transformers'' toy line officially started in most European countries in 1985. It should be noted, though, that various European companies had already released licensed versions of [[TakaraTomy|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; Takara themselves released ''Diaclone'' in Finland). Some of the toys in those lines sported Hasbro-series changes, including color schemes and even Autobot symbols(!), as Takara was already shifting production of the toys from ''Diaclone'' to their own domestic release of ''Transformers''. But it wasn't until 1985 that ''Transformers'' toys were ''officially'' introduced to the various European markets under that name.

===United Kingdom===

All 1984 toys were still available in 1985, now with the addition of [[rubsign]]s. 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. Alongside with a variation of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Optimus Prime]] that sported red instead of blue feet, Megatron was manufactured by French company Ceji as part of a deal with Hasbro, and the red-footed version of Optimus Prime was also released by [[Milton Bradley]] in mainland Europe (see below).<ref name="redfoot1">[http://www.tf-1.com/articles/eurous_frame.php?art=redfoot "Red Footed Optimus Prime"] at TF-1.com</ref><ref name="mbjoustra">[http://20thcenturytoycollector.com/mb-transformers-part-4/ "The MB & Joustra Connection"] at 20th Century Toy Collector</ref>

Oddly, numerous toys were left out of the UK range, never to see official release: notably [[Swoop (G1)/toys#Toys|Swoop]], [[Shockwave (G1)/toys#Toys|Shockwave]] and [[Blaster (G1)/toys#Toys|Blaster]]. The [[Constructicon (G1)#Toys|Constructicon]]s were also missing; in the early 90s they got a semi-official import release, and a de-combiner'ed [[redeco]] release (see "1992" below). Some of the non-Takara sculpts were likely dropped due to licensing arrangements ([[Omega Supreme (G1)#Toys|Omega Supreme]], for example, was available as part of the competing Grandstand ''Convertors'' line around this time as "Omegatron"). Due to his absence from the 1985 Hasbro [[catalog]], [[Jetfire (G1)/toys#Toys|Jetfire]] has long been believed to have been held over until the 1986 range, but he was featured in the Autumn 1985 Argos catalog.<ref name="argos85">[http://issuu.com/retromash/docs/argos-no24-1985-autumn Fall 1985 Argos catalog] at Issuu.com.</ref>)

===Germany, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain===
<center>[[File:Milton_Bradley_logo.png|140px||link=Milton Bradley]] [[File:Joustra1.jpg|200px||link=Joustra]]</center>
{{main|Joustra}}

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 German, French, Dutch and Spanish text. Therefore, MB covered the markets where Joustra's ''Diaclone'' toys were previously available, with the addition of Spain. The first wave of MB-branded toys was a rather odd selection, a result of Joustra holding the rights to many of the remaining toys, among them Optimus Prime. As a consequence, Jetfire was initially marketed as Autobot leader. Following a deal between Hasbro Bradley and Joustra's struggling parent company Ceji, a large amount of unsold Joustra toys were ''literally'' repackaged and released as the second wave of MB ''Transformers''.<ref name="mbjoustra"/>

Special Note: the tech specs feature inconsistencies for the Dutch (Functie / Funktie) & Spanish (Función / Cometido) across the line. Usage appears to be figure consistent, meaning you will only see use of one or the other within the wave.

An odd one-off addition to the 1985 French Transformers offering was [[Horloge Robot]], a small robot that splits into 14 different vehicles and features a working watch on his chest, released by [[AVI France]] in collaboration with [[wikipedia:Canal+ (French TV channel)|Canal+]]. Weirdly enough, he is none other than a repackaging of a common bootleg of ''[[Diaclone]]'' [[Diaclone#Gats Blocker|Gats Blocker]], now released under the official ''Transformers'' brand... For some reason.

{{main|GiG}}
[[GiG]] ("Geegh", but sometimes misspelled "GiGi") originally released licensed ''Diaclone'' toys under the name "[[Trasformer]]", occasionally sporting color schemes only found on Hasbro's ''Transformers'' versions (very likely because Takara was shifting production of the toys from ''Diaclone'' to ''Transformers'' at the time). Whether it was pressure from Hasbro or a mere marketing decision, GiG eventually acquired an additional license from Hasbro and 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").<ref name="chicken">[http://tfsource.com/blog/the-chicken-or-the-gig-part-1/ "The Chicken or the Gig?", Part 1] and [http://tfsource.com/blog/the-chicken-or-the-gig-part-2/ Part 2] at TFSource</ref> In addition to the official ''Transformers'' logo, a small remainder of the old ''Trasformer'' logo would remain on the packaging until 1987.

Speaking of ''Trasformer'' remnants, the "Autorobot Cars" and the "Distructor Planes" all sported unique "safety" missiles with large rubber boppers on the end instead of the individual missiles the versions released everywhere else had.

The [[Mini-Vehicle|Autobot Minicars/Mini Vehicles]] were apparently never released by GiG. The Italian names for their characters come from the Italian dub of the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|animated series]].

==1986==
===United Kingdom===

1986 was the first year that the UK lost toys that had been available in previous years. 4 cars survived from the initial 1984 [[Autobot#Generation_1_.2F_Beast_Era|Autobot]] car assortment, none from the 1984 Autobot cars held over till 1985 in the UK and 6 of the 7 new 1985 cars: [[Skids_(G1)#Generation_1|Skids]] misses out on a second year of availability. 5 of the six original [[Mini-Vehicle|Minibots]] are gone, only [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys|Bumblebee]] survives. Gone are the [[Mini-Cassette|tape]] 2 packs, although they continue till 1988 in the US line, as are [[Soundwave (G1)/toys|Soundwave]] & [[Buzzsaw (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Buzzsaw]]].

The catalogue does not show [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]] & [[Megatron (G1)/toys|Megatron]] - at one point the Transformers UK comic claimed they were still available in 1986.

The catalogue also does not show [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys|Rodimus Prime]] & [[Wreck-Gar (G1)|Wreck-Gar]]: they make a very late appearance on UK shelves towards the end of 1986 tying in with the release of Transformers The Movie.

Missing from the Hasbro UK releases are the [[Predacon_(G1)#toys|Predacons]] & [[Gnaw (G1)#toys|Gnaw]], [[Sky Lynx (G1)#Toys|Sky Lynx]], [[Trypticon (G1)#Toys|Trypticon]], who was seen "grey imported" as the time and the Autobot [[Mini-Cassette|tapes]] & [[Ratbat (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Ratbat]] / [[Frenzy (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Frenzy]], who later had Chinese stock grey imports in the early 1990s.

Confirmed UK Hasbro releases from 1986 are:

===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 ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|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:

===Italy===

[[GiG]] was still doing their own thing at this point, with a bit of mix of Hasbro and Takara-style packaging. Notably, GiG's versions of the Aeriabolts, Protectobots, Stunticons and Combaticons came in boxes based on the Takara versions (including prominent "C" and "D" numbers and "Takara" instead of "Hasbro" logos), just like the previous year's Constructicons. 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.

Known Italian releases of 1986 toys are:

===Greece===
[[File:ElGreco-Logo.png|center|125px|link=El Greco]]
{{main|El Greco}}

[[El Greco]] manufactured and released a small number of ''Transformers'' toys to the Greek market, with the only known El Greco releases this year being seven Autobot Mini-Vehicles. These are mostly identical to their international versions safe for a few minor coloration differences, with the used plastics generally being a bit brighter or darker than their Hasbro and Joustra equivalents. The cards the toys were available on were based on the Hasbro cards but fully translated to Greek (including the character names) and sported Hasbro logos in addition to the "El Greco" logo.

It's not entirely clear when exactly the following toys were first available in Greece; however, they couldn't have been released before 1986, since they depict the "[[Decipher the Decepticon]]" poster artwork on the back of their cards.

==1987==
===United Kingdom===
In the UK in 1987 the line lost all the pre 1986 toys. Most of the new toys for 1986 survive apart from the [[Mini-Vehicle|Minibot]] & [[Battlecharger]] assortments. As per the [[1987#US|main US line]] the cars & planes introduced in 1986 received a [[Targetmaster_(technology)|Targetmaster]] upgrade

[[Fortress_Maximus_(G1)#Generation_1|Fortress Maximius]] was not offered for sale through Hasbro UK but a number were given away as colouring competition prizes: a toy promoting this was on display in Hamley's in Regents Street, London, well into the 1990s.

Also missing in the UK were the new [[Decepticon#Generation_1_continuity_family|Decepticon]] [[Mini-Cassette|tapes]], both factions' [[Clone_(subgroup)|Clones]], [[Punch_(G1)#Toys|Doublespy Punch/Countepunch]], [[Sixshot_(G1)|Sixshot]] and [[Monsterbot_(G1)|the Monsterbots]]. Sixshot, the Decepticon Clones and Punch/Counterpunch would later be sold in the UK as Chinese Grey Imports in the early 1990s as would the standard size Autobot & Decepticon [[Headmaster_(technology)|Headmasters]].

===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:

{{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.}}

===Italy===

[[GiG]] continued to have their own slightly-different take on ''Transformers'', mainly in packaging; the "Racerbots" (Throttlebots), "Tecnobots" and "Terrorbots" (it should be obvious) came in Takara-styled boxes complete with Japanese ID numbers. "Tundertron" (Abominus) was available as a giftset even though Hasbro hadn't released the toys in that form in the USA; the box layout was again based very closely on the standard Hasbro combiner giftsets at that time, but lacking the Hasbro logo, and sporting the toys' Takara ID numbers. The "Tecnobot" and "Terrorbot" advertisement flyers depict Scattershot and Hun-Gurrr erroneously wearing their respective combiner heads in their uncombined robot modes. The Monsterbots' boxes were based on the Hasbro versions, but sported "Takara" instead of "Hasbro" logos and Takara ID numbers.

Known Italian toys from 1987 are:

==1988==
===United Kingdom===
In 1988 all the previously available toys were eliminated from the catalogue, but there are hints, in the Argos catalogue and elsewhere, that some may have continued to be distributed. There is some debate as to if the Triggerbots & Triggercons were available in the UK in 1988: they are not shown on the catalogue.

As in previous years, the new US tapes were not offered in the UK. The UK also missed out on the "second wave" US Pretenders: Autobots [[Groundbreaker#Toys|Groundbreaker]], [[Sky High (Pretender)#Toys|Sky High]] and [[Splashdown#Toys|Splashdown]], and Decepticons [[Bugly (G1)#Toys|Bugly]], [[Finback#Toys|Finback]] & [[Iguanus (G1)#Toys|Iguanus]].

The Pretender Vehicles were a Woolworths exclusive in 1988 before becoming more generally available in 1989.

Towards the end of the year, the Micromaster Off Road, Race Car and Air Strike patrols were available in the UK in their "Micro Transformer" packaging.

===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 (all of the toys on this list have been found in both English stickered packaging and French/Dutch packaging):

===Italy===

Starting with the Pretenders, [[GiG]] finally dropped the small remainder of the old ''Trasformer'' logo from their packaging. The most interesting releases this year are the "Grandi Set Transformers" (also called "Superset Transformers" in the 1988 Christmas catalog), re-releases of the prior Combiner giftsets with a pack of five random "Exogini Transformers" ([[Decoy]]s) as a freebie.

Known Italian releases from 1988 are:

==1989==

===United Kingdom===

For the first time the UK received all of this year's new western Transformers the same year they were released in the USA.

The Pretender Monsters & Countdown were Woolworths exclusives in 1989, with Countdown being more generally available the following year

===France, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Spain===

In 1989, all releases received French names, but not Dutch names. 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.

Confirmed releases include:

===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==
===Main Transformers Toyline===
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 releases, re-releases and exclusives in a pattern similar (if not exactly the same) to that of the European market; this would continue at least as far as ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]''.

Presumably, Germany got the UK versions of the 1990 [[Action Master]]s 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 include:

==="Classics" (Europe & Australasia)===

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, under the name "[[Classics (Europe)|Classics]]". Germany got the "Classics" toys in English packaging. Unlike the English and French/Dutch versions, the Italian and Spanish "Classics" don't actually say "Classic" anywhere on the packaging. The toys themselves are functionally identical to their original releases, complete with [[rubsign]]s. (Some toys released this year were altered the following year, but we'll talk about the details of that then.)

''Why'' this line happened is currently unknown, but there are several possibilities. It is known that the ''Transformers'' line was only ''just'' starting up in China (thanks to some legal shenanigans), and it appears the "Classics" toys were produced in the same Chinese factories, so the molds suddenly being available for production presented possibilities. It is unknown if Hasbro had originally intended for the toys to be released in the US market as well as in Europe, Australia and New Zealand, but the line's cancellation in the US killed that.

==1991==
===Main Transformers Toyline===
Although ''Transformers'' had come to a stop in the US, Hasbro continued releasing new toys to the European and Australasian markets. Following directly on from 1990's lineup was a number of new Action Masters, including an additional assortment of standard figures, figures with transforming exo-suit armour, and the infamously-paradoxical [[Action Master Elite]]s who could ''themselves'' transform. Again, Action Masters were available in English packaging in Germany.

The "Classic" range of older toys was also expanded with new and updated assortments, and was further complemented by a small quantity of toys from moulds previously exclusive to Japan—while these releases did not sport the "Classic" branding and had their own distinct box-back mural, they were released in the same style of gold packaging.

===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. As the rubsigns were the ''only'' faction symbols on the Throttlebots, they were replaced with paper Autobot symbol stickers.

[[File:G1Stalker toy.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.44|Predator [[Stalker (G1)#Toys|Stalker]] (with [[Snare#Toys|Snare]] attached in the lower-right)]]
'92 is when the European ''Transformers'' line really began to kick into high gear, even if the amount of product was a little on the light side. Hasbro produced new toys exclusively designed for the European market (though some did get imported to Japan), which had a far more cohesive design aesthetic than... well, the line ever had in its past. The Autobots trended towards brighter colors and generally had more "human" faces, and each one used bright-magenta fluorescent translucent plastic for vehicle-mode windscreens and a new innovation in the line, [[light-piping|light-piped]] eyes which appear to "glow" when light shines through them from behind. The Decepticons trended towards darker, cooler colors, their faces much more "robotic" (usually with facemasks and visor-eyes), and using bright-green translucent plastic for their canopies/optics. Both sides also included spring-loaded missile launchers, a [[gimmick]] that had been all but abandoned in Hasbro's markets due to more stringent [[for safety reasons|safety regulations for projectiles]] in the US.

Rounding out the year's product are a strange pair of re-released combiner teams ''lacking'' their combining ability... or individual names.

After this year, Hasbro decided European sales were good enough to [[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|try to revive ''Transformers'' in the US again]].<ref>[http://www.tfarchive.com/fandom/interviews/george_dunsay/george_dunsay_interview.php George Dunsay interview at TFArchive]: "At the time it was discontinued in the US, it was not a temporary decision. It is only after the success in Europe that the US people decided to reintroduce it"</ref>

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.

While Hasbro rolled out the new ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' toyline in the US, the European line continued under the original branding, with a slew of new all-new-mold toys, in the same style as the previous year's, with a variety of new gimmicks… though curiously with the "Generation 2" Autobot and Decepticon symbols applied to them. (A popular [[Misconceptions and urban legends about Transformers#Generation 2|rumor]] claims that this was due to the international licence for the original symbols having expired, which sounds highly dubious.) Some toys even got the "Autobot/Decepticon" text-stamp that was added to every ''Generation 2'' toy in the US.

On top of all these new molds, last year's Turbomasters, Predators, Rescue Force and Constructicons were still shipping to stores, making for quite a full assortment of toys for the final year of the original ''Transformers'' toyline globally. ''Salut!''

Many fans consider this year a sort of "Generation 1.5", further buoyed by the fact that all of the new molds got re-released in 1994 under the ''Generation 2'' branding in European markets.
