| |
| | |
| [[TakaraTomy|Takara's]] [[1989]] '''Victory''' toyline was both a return to a more "traditional" ''Transformers'' line (as the prior [[Transformers: Super-God Masterforce (toyline)|''Masterforce'' line]] featured more humans piloting robot "suits" than actual Cybertronians) and a major departure, in that it is almost wholly different from the [[Hasbro]] product released that same year (which was heavy on the [[Micromaster]]s and [[Pretender]]s).
| |
| | |
| Where the prior Takara lines used most of the same molds as Hasbro's concurrent lines —with some color changes and the occasional additional mold— the majority of ''Victory'' toys are all-new molds designed wholly by Takara for their own market. The rest are significant [[retool]]ings of Hasbro molds in entirely new colors. Most of these toys, including the retools, never saw release in Hasbro's markets, and the few that did only came well after their ''Victory'' releases (and with significant changes to boot). The ''only'' toy in the series that is identical to a Hasbro release was available only via mail-order, not sold in stores.
| |
| | |
| ''Victory'' also has a heavy focus on combiner teams, every one of which was available both as individual releases and as a gift set.
| |
| | |
| Because of its uniqueness, ''Victory'' is a very popular line in the West for older fans and collectors, commanding a lot of money on the secondary market.

| ==Notes==
| |
| * Despite featuring prominently in the [[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Victory (cartoon)|''Victory'' cartoon]], the [[Micromaster]] [[Rescue Patrol Team]] were not actually sold as part of the ''Victory'' toyline. Kids had to wait for the early releases of the following toyline, ''[[Transformers: Zone (toyline)| Zone]]''.
| |
| * The combiner gift sets this year omitted the [[bio]]/[[Tech Spec]]s and trading cards for the individual toys, a practice that would continue going forward.
| |
| * Several ''Victory'' toys would be recycled in later lines:
| |
| ** The [[The Transformers (European toyline)|European-market ''Transformers'' series]] took the three car-mode [[Brainmaster]]s and four of the [[Breastforce]] members, took away their combiner-bot-bits, redecoed them, and sold them as the [[Motorvator]]s and [[Rescue Force]] (respectively).
| |
| ** The [[Multiforce]] got re-released as part of Takara's convenience-store-release ''[[The Transformers: Micromaster| Micromaster]]'' series as "Micromaster DX" toys in individual boxes.
| |
| ** [[Deathsaurus (Victory)#Toys|Deathsaurus]], [[Greatshot#Toys|Greatshot]], and [[Galaxy Shuttle#Toys|Galaxy Shuttle]] all got [[redeco]]ed and/or [[retool]]ed for Takara's later ''[[Brave (franchise)|Brave]]'' non-''Transformers'' giant transforming robot toylines.
