	:<u>Notes</u>: This ad is a reworked version of the earlier Optimus Prime and Megatron ad. The footage of Megatron transforming with streaking effects is replaced by footage of the Optimus Prime toy being "flown" in front of a mountain. The introductory stop-motion animation has also been dropped, the ad now starting with the early animation, followed by the excerpt of Prime and Megatron leading their troops from the cartoon intro. The change to introductory animation sequences appears to be where the transition from using stop-motion and animation from the Marvel #1 ad to using original animation segments began. The reason for Megatron's removal is unknown, but likely due to legal and/or ethical issues with advertising a toy that turns into a realistic looking gun. Given that it would've taken some time to re-do the ad after it was identified as needing a change, this ad would have first aired in very late 1984 at the earliest. It's possible it didn't air until 1985.		:<u>Notes</u>: This ad is a reworked version of the earlier Optimus Prime and Megatron ad.

	1989 continued Hasbro's trend of levereging their popular chaaracters from the beginning of the line. They continued to have Peter Cullen voice Optimus Prime in the animated segments, but also brought in [[Dan Gilvezan]] to reprise [[Bumblebee (G1)\|Bumblebee]] in a couple spots and Gregg Berger to reprise [[Grimlock (G1)\|Grimlock]] in the Classic Pretenders commercial. Despite this move, this would be the first year not to have new cartoon episodes and thus no advertisements for the cartoon. While the Marvel Comic was still in production, it too appears to have had iit's last advertisement in 1988. The only advertisement for Transformers media that has been found are variant toy ads that included a stinger for a $1.00 copy of ''The Transformers: The Movie'' on VHS if you bought two Transformers toys. Am interesting change in this year's approach to the shorter, 15 second versions of ads is that they aren't simply edited down. They take a 30 second ad that featured two groups of toys, pare it down to the content for one of the groups and then add new narration and often a new clip or two of toy footage. This would continue in 1990 for Micromaster ads but would ultimately be permanently abandonded from G2 on.		1989 continued Hasbro's trend of levereging their popular chaaracters from the beginning of the line.

	: <u>Notes</u>: Cutthroat is present in the opening scene of the animation, but isn't seen after that. The Autobot base bears some similarities to Fortress Maximus but is completely grey/silver, appears to not have armaments, and may be missing the ramp on the left side (though the angles we get make it difficult to tell for sure). It's similar enough that it's probably safe to say it's at least using Fort Max's animation model, albeit possibly misdrawn. Rodimus and Ultra Magnus's voices are provided by their regular series actors, Dick Gautier and Jack Angel respectively.		: <u>Notes</u>: Cutthroat is present in the opening scene of the animation, but isn't seen after that.
