'''Super deformed''' (aka '''SD''' or '''chibi''') is a style of [[manga]] and anime art that features smaller, cuter versions of pre-existing characters, with distorted proportions.

* The ''[[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]]'' [[Mini Vehicle]]s' alt modes were based on ''[[Choro-Q]]'' toy cars, which themselves were super-deformed versions of actual cars. (This is particularly clear when you compare [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys|Cliffjumper]] to an actual [[wikipedia:Porsche 924|Porsche 924]].)
* The [[Pretender Monster]]s featured rubbery beast shells and robot monster modes that were scrunched and deformed enough to be considered super-deformed ([[Scowl (G1)|Scowl]]'s bio in particular makes note of this horrid cuteness).
* The [[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Victory (franchise)|Victory]] cartoon featured super-deformed characters in its [[commercial bumper]]s.
* In 1990, [[Kabaya]] produced a series of [[Parody Deformed|super-deformed ''Transformers'' candy toys]], packaged with [[Transformers PD Type]] mini-comics.
* [[MyClone]] figurines are also designed in a super-deformed style.
* Part of the [[Danglers Collection]] features super deformed characters.
* [[Geneon Universal Entertainment|Pioneer]]'s [[Wikipedia:LaserDisc|LaserDisc]] releases of ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (franchise)|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers]]'' featured two pieces of super deformed cover artwork, [http://www.tfarchive.com/cartoons/japanese/pioneer/SDLDAutobots.jpg one for the Autobots] and one for the Decepticons (''pictured right''), by [[Hidetsugu Yoshioka]]. The artist later created [http://www.tfarchive.com/cartoons/japanese/pioneer/SDLDpostmovie.jpg one large group shot of both factions] for the ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers 2010 (franchise)|Transformers 2010]]'' LaserDisc, then [http://www.tfarchive.com/cartoons/japanese/pioneer/SDLDRebirth.jpg another dual faction piece] for the LaserDisc release of "[[The Rebirth, Part 1|The Rebirth]]".
* The manual artwork and game sprites for ''[[Duel Fight Transformers Beast Wars: Beast Warriors' Strongest Decisive Battle]]'' were done in a super deformed style.
* The ''[[Super Lifeform Transformers: Beast Wars Metals (manga)|Beast Wars Metals]]'' manga occasionally veered into SD territory, along with numerous other affronts.
* The fan-made comic "[[Superdeformers]]", written by [[Matt Nelson]], was used in various official ''Transformers'' publications by [[3H Productions|3H]]. 
* [[Sky-Byte (RID)|Sky-Byte]] would on several occasions have fantasies about Megatron being pleased with him, all of which were super-deformed. And hilarious and disturbing in equal measure.
* Many of the Transformers (and [[Matrix of Leadership|non-Transformer]]) that show up in ''[[Q-Robo Transformer|Extremely Funny Transformer Gag Colosseum]]'' are mostly portrayed in SD form.
* Starting in 2006, the [[Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club (magazine)|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club magazine]] would include an illustration of a super deformed character by [[Richard Chang]] on the introductory page of each issue.
* Later, [[Matt Moylan]]'s ''[[Lil Formers]]'' fancomic had some instalments published in that same magazine.
* Much later, issues [[Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 65|#65]] to [[Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 71|#71]] of that magazine would run a strip by [[Josh Perez]] called ''[[SD SG]]'' - "Super Deformed Shattered Glass".
* [[First 4 Figures]] produced a super-deformed [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys|Ultra Magnus]] statue in 2006, based on an art contest at the Transformers World 2005 fansite.[http://www.first4figures.com/newsarticles.asp?newsid=33]
* Hasbro began releasing the ''[[Robot Heroes (toyline)|Robot Heroes]]'' line in 2007, consisting of super-deformed versions of classic Generation 1 characters such as [[Starscream (G1)/toys|Starscream]], [[Grimlock (G1)/toys|Grimlock]], and [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]], and later expanded to feature ''Beast Wars'', ''Beast Machines'', 2001 ''Robots in Disguise'' and live-action film series characters.
* In 2014, [[Kids Logic]] released two lines of licensed non-transforming Transformers SD figures, including the smaller (~3in) Kids Nations multi-packs and the larger (~6in) Mecha Nations articulated figures.
* The 2014 toyline ''[[Q-Transformers]]'' is a series of super deformed Transformers toys that turn into ''Choro Q'' versions of their respective alt-modes.
