'''''Thrilling 30''''' is the overall title given to [[Hasbro]]'s promotional campaign in celebration of the 30th anniversary of the [[Transformers brand]] in [[2014]]. Beginning in mid-[[2013]], the campaign aims to celebrate the history of the brand, with a large number of [[Fandom|collector]]-orientated [[homage]] toys released under the banner.

==''Generations''==
In mid-2013, the ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' toyline was refreshed to sport the ''Thrilling 30'' logo and returned to a focus on "''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]''-style" reimaginings of past characters. Although initially focusing on physical translations of [[IDW Publishing]] comic designs, the line would quickly expand to star toys based on other franchises such as ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (franchise)|Beast Wars]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|Armada]]''.
