Editing Transformers (2007 toyline)

{{nav-movie}}

[[File:Crosssell-movie.jpg|right|upright=2.2|thumb|These ain't your daddy's toys, kids.]]
The 2007 [[Transformers (film)|''Transformers'' film]] was accompanied by one of the largest product blitzes in the history of the [[Transformers brand]]. The prominence of the '''movie''' allowed [[Hasbro]] to push the toy line to new levels of complexity and diversity.  

In addition to the standard "main line" figures, several sub-lines were developed. Some, such as the [[Fast Action Battlers]] and [[Cyber Slammers]], are aimed at younger users. Others, such as [[Real Gear Robot]]s and the various role play toys, expand on the plot and concepts of the movie. Furthermore, many stores received various exclusive [[redeco]]s and multi-packs. Other markets, such as Japan and even Europe, also had their own exclusives.

Virtually all characters of the movie cast received multiple toy incarnations at various price points, from the tiny $4 [[Legends Class|Legends]] versions and two-for-$5 ''[[Robot Heroes (toyline)|Robot Heroes]]'' PVCs up to the massive, complex, [[Gimmick|electronic]] $80 Ultimate [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys|Bumblebee]]. Given the limited number of Transformers featured in the movie, the toyline naturally contains many additional characters. Many of these are featured in alternate movie-related media, such as prequel comics and video games.  

Following the success of the movie toyline, it was expanded with the [[AllSpark Power]] and [[Premium Series]] sub-lines, while the subsequent toyline, ''[[Transformers Animated (toyline)|Transformers Animated]]'', was officially pushed back from late 2007/early 2008 to July 2008.

==Toyline==
===Action figures ("main" line)===
[[File:Moviebonecrushertoy.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|Bonecrusher hates being a Deluxe.]]
The main line movie figures attempt to emulate the complex, multi-faceted appearance of the screen characters, succeeding to a remarkable degree given the radical style shift. Robot modes integrate and hide their vehicle mode [[kibble]] very well, avoiding most of the parts-clearance problems seen in many "[[shellformer]]" style designs. Even non-film characters match the overall aesthetic. Most alternate forms are realistically styled contemporary Earth vehicles, many of which are [[Licensed vehicle alternate modes|licensed replicas]].

The main line figures feature an above-average design complexity, packing an amazing number of moving parts into a small package. Transformations are fairly complex, and tend to capture the movie's visual spectacle of a vehicle flying apart into a thousand pieces as the robots transform. The primary gimmick of the main line is "[[Automorph Technology]]", a gimmick by which moving one piece of a toy will in turn move other pieces into their designated positions via hidden gears, furthering the parallel with the movie's visuals.   

[[File:Bumblebeemovietoydeluxe67.jpg|right|upright=1.1|thumb|Float like a butterfly and sting like a......wait- what's my name again?.]]

Another major aspect of the line is its heavy focus on "core cast", making sure most of the film Autobots and Decepticons were available at multiple price points, especially the budget-minded [[Legends Class|Legends]] [[size class]], which was once again available at all major retailers (instead of just at specialty and convenience stores). While the newly-created bots in the film were left out, the ''concept'' was represented by the [[Real Gear Robot]]s. Even major [[human]] characters got toys (rare for a ''Transformers'' toyline) in the "Screen Battles" diorama sets.

Unfortunately, due to issues of vehicle mode licensing and the fact that the robot designs are the shared intellectual property of [[Paramount Pictures|Paramount]], the movie series toys were not available to be [[redeco]]ed in non-film-based lines, not even as [[BotCon|convention]] [[exclusive]]s. (This rule would later be relaxed slightly to allow "offscreen" character molds to be used, but that's not til the [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|next movie-based line]]....)

;Allspark Battles 2-packs
"Allspark Battles" are two-packs that contain two Legends Class figures each. On the North American market, they replaced the Legends Class single packs in late 2007, coinciding with the launch of the "[[AllSpark Power]]" sub-line (see below), whereas other markets continued getting some of the toys included in these two-packs as single packs instead.

====Screen Battles====
"Screen Battles" are minor [[redeco]]s of Deluxe Class toys in more [[Show-accuracy|movie-accurate]] decos based on specific moments from the movie. They come packaged in nifty diorama boxes and include PVC figurines of both human and Transformers screen characters. The assortment was named "Battle Scenes" in international markets, simply using the English language name for European packaging and translated French and Spanish versions of the name alongside the United States market name "Screen Battles" for the trilingual packaging used for Canada and Latin America.

===Store exclusives===
While store [[exclusive]]s were certainly nothing new to ''Transformers'' by this point, the movie toyline positively blew the doors off past lines in terms of sheer numbers, both in the amount of product and in the number of outlets to get exclusives. It was pretty difficult to keep track of everything; what was a new deco, what was a plain repack, what was just-different-enough-to-make-you-mad, etc.

Of course, many of these store exclusives ended up as mass retail releases outside the US, or as exclusives to different chains (both regional and international). See individual entries for more details.

====Best Buy====
Yes, Best Buy the American electronics retail chain. For a brief while they dabbled in collectibles. It didn't last long, but long enough to get out a pair of Voyager molds with "Premium Series" level more screen-accurate, metallic paint jobs.

===Sub-lines===
====AllSpark Power====

====Premium Series====
{{main|Premium Series}}

===Notable international variants===
Even though the Movie toyline differed from previous Transformers toylines insofar as TakaraTomy's Japanese versions of the toys were almost identical to their Hasbro counterparts (as a matter of fact, the Japanese "mainline" toys even came in Hasbro packaging, with additional Japanese stickers on the packaging identifying them as the Japanese versions), there were a few genuine variants - and on top of that, one of those variants was also released in the United Kingdom, making it the first shared Japanese/European "variant" toy since red Armada Powerlinx [[Thrust (Armada)|Thrust]].

====UK variants====
* [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#UKNightwatch|Nightwatch Optimus Prime]] (Leader Class; missing the US version's "AllSpark Power" blue paint and coming in slightly different packaging)

{{note|This toy was available exclusively at Argos stores in the United Kingdom several months before the US version came out. Apparently this had originally been intended for the United States market, since the packaging sports various US market-specific logos and English-only texts.}}

====Japanese variants====
* Most of the initial decos of the [[Real Gear Robot]]s ([[Speed Dial 800]], [[Spy Shot 6]], [[Power Up VT6]], [[Longview (Movie)|Longview]] and [[Zoom Out 25X]]) featured different stickers in Japan, depicting scenes involving the [[Transformers (film)|Movie]] cast rather than screenshots from the [[Transformers: Cybertron (cartoon)|''Cybertron'' cartoon]], and replacing the time index "7:47" (hinting at the US release date of the movie, July 4) with "8:04" (as the movie wasn't released in Japan until August 4).
* MA-03 [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys|Bumblebee]] (Deluxe Class Classic Camaro; using clear blue plastic for the windows with painted over yellow car parts, instead of the US version's yellow plastic with [[tampograph]]ed blue windows)
* MA-18 [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys|Nightwatch Optimus Prime]] (Leader Class; identical to the UK version)
* MA-19 [[Landmine (Movie)|Landmine]] (different shade than the Hasbro version, and features tires made of rubber instead of plastic)
* MA-21 [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys|Battle Mode Optimus Prime]] (same mold as Hasbro's Leader Class [[Premium Series]] Optimus Prime, but features [[Vacuum metallizing|vacuum metallized]] rims, bumper/grill and gas tanks/toolboxes. His overall paint deco in [[robot mode]] is also slightly more detailed.)
* MD-22 [[Incinerator (Movie)|Incinerator]] (Voyager Class; sporting black as the main colour and a slightly different deco than the US version; also comes with a small AllSpark cube accessory)

===International exclusives===
{{note|Even though European countries got some of the US toyline's store exclusives (such as various Toys'R'Us exclusive releases) as well, some of them even at mass retail (such as the Target exclusive Scout Class redecos of ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' toys, or the "Evolution of a Hero" two-pack with the Deluxe Class Classic and Concept Camaro Bumblebee toys), and some toys that were released as store exclusives in Japan (such as Leader Class Decepticon Brawl) were available at general retail in the USA, there were also some multi-packs and redecos that were genuine exclusives to European countries or Japan.}}

====Non-US market Legends Class single packs====
'''Wave 4 (AllSpark Power Wave 1)'''
*[[Cliffjumper (Movie)|Cliffjumper]] ([[redeco]] of Legends Class [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys|Bumblebee]])
*[[Barricade (Movie)/toys|Recon Barricade]] (redeco of Legends Class [[Barricade (Movie)/toys|Barricade]])
*[[Jazz (Movie)|Autobot Jazz]] (minor redeco of Legends Class Autobot Jazz)
*[[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]]

{{note|The toys themselves are identical to those released as part of the "Allspark Battles" two-packs in the USA. However, these versions come on European-style single cards. They were available in various European markets, Hasbro's Asian markets, Australia and New Zealand.}}

====Non-US market Hasbro multi-packs====
* "Unleashed y Voyager" (two-pack of Unleashed [[Bumblebee (Movie)/merchandise#MexicoUnleashed|Bumblebee]] with either Voyager Class [[Ratchet (Movie)/toys#MexicoUnleashed|Autobot Ratchet]] or [[Blackout (Movie)#MexicoUnleashed|Blackout]])

{{note|These two-packs have only been released in Mexico.}}

* [[Jazz (Movie)#JazzPrimeBrawl3pack|Autobot Jazz]], [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#JazzPrimeBrawl3pack|Protoform Optimus Prime]] & [[Brawl (Movie)#JazzPrimeBrawl3pack|Decepticon Brawl]] three-pack (Deluxe Class Autobot Jazz, Deluxe Class Protoform Optimus Prime & Deluxe Class Decepticon Brawl)

{{note|This three-pack has only been available as a mass retail release in the United Kingdom.}}

* "[[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#BeePrimePack|Bumblebee]] and [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#BeePrimePack|Optimus Prime]]" two-pack (Deluxe Class Concept Camaro Bumblebee & Voyager Class Optimus Prime)

{{note|This two-pack has been available as a mass retail release in Hong Kong, as an Argos exclusive in the United Kingdom, as a Kmart exclusive in Australia, and with undetermined distribution in France. Apparently this had originally been intended for the United States market, since the packaging sports various logos and design elements usually only found on North American packaging, as well as English-only texts.}}

* "Towed to Safety" two-pack (Deluxe Class [[Longarm (Movie)#TowedToSafety|Longarm]] & Deluxe Class Classic Camaro [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#TowedToSafety|Bumblebee]])

{{note|This two-pack has only been available as a mass retail release in the United Kingdom.}}

====Non-US market Hasbro "special" single packs====
*[[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys|Autobot Optimus Prime]] (battle damaged redeco of Voyager Class Optimus Prime, identical to the one from the Sam's Club exclusive three-pack)
*[[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]] (battle damaged redeco of Deluxe Class Arcee, identical to the one from the Sam's Club exclusive three-pack)

{{note|These toys have only been released in Asia, but were also stocked by US-based online retailers. "Autobot Optimus Prime" comes in the same packaging style and sports the same assortment number as the Best Buy exclusive "Premium Series" redecos of [[Ratchet (Movie)/toys|Autobot Ratchet]] and [[Megatron (Movie)/toys|Megatron]], while Arcee comes on the same cardback as the regular release, with the only difference being an additional "exclusive battle damage" sticker on the blister bubble and a different barcode. An isolated sighting for Arcee has been reported from a [[Walmart]] store in the USA, which might or might not have been a fluke.<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-movie-toys--products-30/battle-damage-arcee-individual-carded-version-released-164343/]</ref>}}

==Notes==
*The "Scout" [[size class]] was made exclusive to Target stores for the run of the Movie toyline (although it was available as a mass retail assortment in other countries), and consisted solely of [[redeco]]s of toys from the ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' toylines. The ''[[Transformers Animated (toyline)|Animated]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]]'' lines didn't revisit this price point at all, but the Scout price point returned with the ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen toyline]]'', this time with entirely new molds.
* Likewise, the "Ultra" size class was originally not used during the Movie toyline's run either. Eventually, the only two "Ultra Class" releases were redecos of ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' toys that were exclusively available at Toys"R"Us stores. The 2008 ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]]'' line brought the price point back as a mass retail assortment.
*The Fracture, Crankcase, and Getaway exclusive toys were originally meant to be part of the 2008 ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]]'' line, but Wal*Mart insisted that they be placed into the Movie line instead. (The logic being that the old Universe line eventually failed in the market, while the Movie line was a dramatic hit.)

=="Drought"==
[[File:Movie Deluxe 2009 Bumblebee toy.jpg|right|upright=1.4|thumb|Oh well.  Better luck with the sequel toys!]]
For the remainder of 2007 following the movie's premiere, many fans complained of a severe toy shortage in most markets, particularly the U.S. Mainline figures had proven to be more difficult to locate at retail than in many years, if not '''ever'''. This was due to the convergence of several factors:

*The tremendous success and high profile of the movie has vastly broadened the toy-buying audience, with many more kids, adult collectors, and [[Toy scalping|scalpers]] seeking out product.
*Major retailers such as Wal-Mart and Target placed orders for TF movie product based on their sales records for ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' figures, as well as movie-related toylines in general, which tend not to do well (as the ''Spider-Man 3'' figures still warming shelves for many months can attest).
*Unusual congestion at Chinese factories and shipping docks lengthened the time necessary to produce and ship new figures to the West.  

Ironically for much of 2008, as supply began to overtake demand, the movie toys became shelf-warmers, appearing not to sell in huge numbers, and often to the detriment of shelf-space for the newer ''[[Transformers Animated (toyline)|Animated]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]]'' toylines.

==Legacy==
*While previous lines had occasionally featured multiple toys of the same [[character]] in different sizes, the ''Movie'' line considerably increased their number, with nearly ''all'' characters from the [[Transformers (film)|primary fiction]] getting a multitude of toys in various sizes and with different [[gimmick]]s, many of which were released around the same time.
*The ''Movie'' line also took the concept of auto-transforming parts and sections, which had occasionally been used by a few toys from previous lines, and made it a line-wide gimmick, here named "[[Automorph Technology]]".
