| | |
| 1987's '''''Transformers: The Headmasters''''' (トランスフォーマー ザ★ヘッドマースターズ) toyline is the third year of [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s [[The Transformers (toyline)|"Generation 1" toyline]]. It is largely just the same toys released by [[Hasbro]] in the West that year with little to no alteration. However, there are a number of toys [[exclusive]] to ''The Headmasters'', most of which still command large sums on the secondary market due to rarity (or at least perceived rarity in the West).
| |
| | |
| Most of the prior year's ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers 2010 (toyline)|Transformers 2010]]'' product was still available through 1987.
| |
| | |
| The ''Headmasters'' toyline also included the ''[[Beastformers]]'' subline, which Hasbro marketed in the West as the completely separate property ''Battle Beasts''.

| ===Beastformers===
| |
| Though ''[[Beastformers]]'' would eventually split off into its own tangentially-connected toyline, the initial set of twenty-eight toys was sold under the ''Transformers'' banner in similarly-designed boxes, with Autobot/Decepticon [[rubsign]]s. Though not ''technically'' branded under the ''The Headmasters'' label, we're putting them here for convenience's sake since they were advertised in the ''Headmasters'' pack-in [[catalog]]s.

| Some characters have returned to "modern" toy form in lines released well after the original ''Headmasters'' line ended. We'll only be listing those characters/decos unique to Takara's version of the line, though.
