	Note that the first six items on the following list—everything up to the first ''Beast Wars'' franchise—are ~~in some sense~~ a part of Generation 1. The term "Generation 1" is used to refer to several things in the fandom, including the original franchise, a continuity family, and also the grouping of all Transformers franchises until the advent of ''Generation 2''. ''~~Masterforce~~'', ~~for example,~~ is not part of the ''franchise'' ~~called Generation 1~~, ~~but it is~~ part of ~~a historical and continuity-based grouping which is also called Generation 1~~.		Note that the first six items on the following list—everything up to the first ''Beast Wars'' franchise—are a part of Generation 1. The term "Generation 1" is used to refer to several things in the fandom, including the original franchise, a continuity family, and also the grouping of all Transformers franchises until the advent of ''Generation 2''. As these franchises were treated as sub-lines of the original toyline in Japan, with toys in these lines being released under that branding, we have elected to treat characters introduced in these sub-franchises as "G1", and are disambiguated as such except in instances where another character already had the name, in which case the name of the individual line is used. In contrast, while fiction like ''Kiss Players'' is canonically treated as part of "G1 the story continuity", it is not part of "G1 the toyline and multimedia franchise". To further complicate things, the American G1 franchise was presented in Japan as two separate franchises: '''''Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers''''' and '''''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers 2010 (franchise)\|Transformers 2010]]'''''. However, as before, we treat them both as a part of what we consider "G1".

	~~To make things slightly more complicated~~, the ~~American G1 franchise was presented in Japan as two separate franchises:~~ ''''~~'[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (franchise)\|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers]]~~''''~~' and '~~''''~~[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers 2010 (~~franchise~~)\|Transformers 2010]]'''''~~.		Confused yet? Trust us, we get it.

			By the same token, ''Beast Wars II'' and ''Beast Wars Neo'' are treated as sub-lines to the larger ''Beast Wars'' franchise, as their toys were all similarly released under the same shared branding rather than as independent toylines.
