1986 presented a major change in the franchise on several levels. The first being that ''Diaclone'' and ''Microchange'' were pretty much depleted of viable toys, so it was time for all-new toolings to get made.
The past lines still had a role to play in this, though. The Mini Vehicles were refreshed by taking the 1984 assortment and extensively [[retool]]ing them into all-new characters. Takara had been designing a different sort of [[combiner|combining robot team]] for ''Diaclone'', where the limb-bots were wholly interchangeable. These plans would come to life in ''Transformers'' as the "[[Scramble City (toyline)|Scramble City]]" style combiners (though that branding was only used in Takara's line; Hasbro called them the "[[Special Teams]]" in Europe, and... nothing special in the US). The combiners were actually advertised in the 1985 season of [[The Transformers (cartoon)|the cartoon]] (one team, the Aerialbots, were released in time for Christmas in 1985) in a bit of bleed-over as Hasbro prepared for the ''really'' big change... ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''.

[[File:Generationstoy-MetroplexTitanClass.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Thrilling 30 Metroplex]]
This media event ''really'' shook things (and kids) up. The older cast of not-shipping-any-more-1984-toys was shuffled out, with many characters openly and brutally ''killed'' in the film, to make way for all-new toy-characters who would take the forefront, including new faction leaders. These bots were developed for animation first then had toys developed based around those designs, a ''very'' rare move at the time (and still uncommon today, mostly only the [[live-action film series]] works this way). These new designs were very Cybertronian/futuristic in design, as the Movie was set in the far-flung future of ''[[2005]] ooooooohhhhh''. This more sci-fi look would stick with the line for a little while.
Another subtle but important change was that the two factions began to share [[subgroup]]s, with the Autobots gaining their own [[Mini-Cassette]]s and [[Triple Changer]]s, plus both sides had "Scramble City" style combiners. These groups shipped in mixed-allegiance assortments, which would become more and more common going forward.
This was also the year [[die-cast|die-cast metal]] started being phased out of the toys' construction. With petroleum prices lowering, plastics became the less-expensive alternative. Many of this year's toys shipped initially with painted die-cast bits, but were later replaced with plastic-parts [[variant]]s.

===1987: Headmasters and Targetmasters===
[[File:G1 Pointblank boxart.jpg|250px|thumb|Autobot Targetmaster Pointblank]]
[[File:G1 Pointblank boxart.jpg|250px|thumb|Autobot Targetmaster Pointblank]]
This year was almost completely dominated by "sci-fi" vehicle modes, following up on ''The Movie'' styling. On top of that, extra [[gimmick]]s beyond transformation began to play into the subgroups, with the [[Throttlebot]]s' [[pull-back motor]]s and the [[Sparking gimmick|spark-firing]] [[Monsterbot (G1)|Monsterbot]]s.
More importantly, this was the first year Hasbro would push a primary overarching [[gimmick]] as a large percentage of the line: the [[Nebulan]] "Master" partners. Where previous years tended to be a bit scattered with its transformation types, the [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]]s and [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmaster]]s presented a more unified theme across both factions and multiple price-points. This culminated in the mighty [[Fortress Maximus (G1)#Toys|Fortress Maximus]], a towering two-foot-tall Headmaster city-bot, with a hefty $100 price-tag (in 1987 dollars, which is about the same as a $200 Transformer today). For sheer size and mass, "Fort Max" remained the largest Transformer produced for over 25 years... and something of a "bragging rights" move on Hasbro's part, showing that they ''could'' demand that kind of shelf space from retailers. (They did the same thing with ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]]'' and the massive "[[USS Flagg]]" playset.)
However, this high point also marked the start of the franchise's waning. The [[The Transformers (cartoon)|cartoon]] was ended with a truncated [[The Rebirth|three-part special]], with reruns continuing on in syndication. Mail-away offers were also slowing down, with no new product available from this year on, only older items no longer in stores. Smaller figures were packaged with small soft-rubber [[Decoy]]s of older characters as an extra incentive, but they weren't a [[Mini-spy|fully transformable mini-Transformer]].

After four years and slowly-declining sales, the push to make ''Transformers'' live up to its new tagline ("More... Much More Than Meets the Eye!") was in full effect. Even toys in old subgroups gained new gimmicks: the new [[Mini-Cassette]]s were combiners, the [[Seacon (G1)|Seacon]] combiner team's limb-bots each had a cannon mode the super-robot could use as a handgun, and the [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmasters]] each had ''two'' [[Nebulan]]s who could also combine into a super-gun.
The big noise this year was the [[Pretender]]s, Transformers that wear outer shells in the guise of armored warriors, monsters, and more, effectively giving you two warriors in one purchase. However, the line didn't exactly excite kids, as most of the inner robots' vehicle modes could be generously described as "vague at best" due to the necessity of fitting inside their shells. And while the shells' minimal articulation (having only stiff shoulder swivels) would be fine for much younger children, the inner robots and number of small parts definitely put them outside of that age group.
The other big move was the return of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#PMOP|Optimus Prime]] as one of the [[Powermaster]]s, robots whose Nebulan partners unlocked the vehicle-to-robot conversion as engine-shaped "keys". Though the previous year saw [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Goldbug|Bumblebee return as "Goldbug"]], this large-scale toy of a returning character heralded a shift in Hasbro's strategy, which would get even stronger next year.
However, the decline that begun the year prior was made worse by a sudden splash in the action figure world: the arrival of the ''{{w|Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles action figures|Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles}}''. Kids flocked to this strange new line and its weird new cartoon, leaving ''Transformers''... sorry, there's no helping this... shell-shocked.
Sorry.

Facing stiff competition, Hasbro attempted to unify and re-brand ''Transformers'' with a new focus and a new look.
 
First, they eliminated the miscellaneous subgroups of the past, rolling ''everything'' under two overarching gimmicks: expansions of the [[Pretender]] concept, and the new 1-inch-tall [[Micromaster]]s, the latter being a response to the steadily-growing popularity of then-competitor [[Galoob]]'s ''Micro Machines'' micro-play vehicle line. Kids would buy packs of four Micromasters together, or would get a single Micromaster with a transforming vehicle or playset, with the larger vehicles themselves transforming into base-mode playsets that could interconnect with included ramps (again a response to ''Micro Machines''<nowiki>'</nowiki> heavy use of playsets).
 
The nostalgia-grab got larger, with new toys based on some of the most popular characters from the early years, now back as "[[Classic Pretender]]s". This year even saw the first store-[[exclusive]] Transformers, as those same four bots were sold without their Pretender shells as "[[Legends (G1)|Legends]]", available only at [[Kmart]] (which wasn't the decrepit shell of a retailer it is now).
 
On top of this, the packaging changed ''dramatically'', with a new look and logo design, although this change was gradual. As noted above, the first three Micromaster patrols released in late 1988 (the Air Strike Patrol, the Off Road Patrol and the Race Car Patrol) still came on old-style cards and featured a unique "Micro Transformers" logo; the Legends kept the overall packaging design but changed the "Transformers" logo to the all-new overall brand logo introduced this year, and changed the on-package [[Tech Spec]]s to an easier-to-read bar graph; and all other releases, including the remaining Micromaster Patrols, completely ditched the color-coded distinguation between Autobot/Decepticon (other than the aforementioned new "Transformers" logo itself), instead opting for a gimmick-specific color-coding with gold-carded and -boxed Pretenders, and silver-carded and-boxed Micromasters. Hasbro hoped that this would prove stronger from a marketing standpoint than the Autobot/Decepticon distinction from previous years, plus look new and fresh, rather than just another iteration of a now-six-year-old toyline.
 
You can kind of guess how well that worked.

By this time, ''Transformers'' was in serious trouble. ''Ninja Turtles'' was still dominating the toy aisle and TV ratings, and was even putting out a live-action movie that year. (Bet Hasbro wished they had a cartoon on the air ''then'', huh?) Home video games were getting even hotter and luring more kids away from toys altogether, especially with the release of the hugely-anticipated Super Nintendo Entertainment System.
 
Hasbro tried to rally with something that was very rare for its time: a large-scale appeal to nostalgia. While Micromasters continued on, the rest of the series was taken up by [[Action Master]]s, non-transforming ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]]''-scale action figures of ''Transformers'' characters, with a half-and-half mix of "classic" characters and all-new bots. As with the Micromasters, the focus was mainly on the low-price items, with the carded individual Action Masters getting the largest amount of product. Larger offerings included vehicles that transformed into battle stations or "attack modes" for the Action Masters to pilot.
 
Unfortunately, it simply wasn't enough, and ''Transformers'' was canceled in the US. While the [[The Transformers (European toyline)|European version of the line]] would continue on with both new product and a glut of "[[Classics (Europe)|Classics]]" re-releases, it would be two years before ''Transformers'' would come back to US toy shelves, as ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]''.

Notes

  1. ↑ There were four types of "Motorized Transformers" (called "Mini-spies" in the television commercial for the figures and "Koma cars" on Hasbro's shipping cases): "4WD Type" (or "Jeep Type"), "Buggy Type", "FX-1 Type" and "Porsche Type". Each was available alternatively in white, yellow or blue, with the color supposedly depending on which figure they were packaged with.
  2. ↑ The 1985 "Autobot Cars" price point was given a somewhat odd treatment with two separate assortments, each of which contained re-releases of six of the 1984 figures (packaged one per case in a case of 12) and three of the new 1985 figures (each packaged two per case). The only exception to this was Skids, who was actually released at least as early as December 1984, in 1984 packaging along with the other '84 Autobot Cars, in which he took the place of an extra Mirage that had previously been used to bring the number of figures contained in those cases up to twelve. Due to this, he was packed in the 1985 assortments like the '84 toys, at only one Skids per case.

    Notes

    1. ↑ The first three Micromaster Patrols shipped in their own assortment in late 1988, and were available in packaging that looked drastically different from the "proper" 1989 Micromaster output. Instead of the redesigned silver packaging with the all-new "Transformers" logo, they came on cards that pretty much still resembled the packaging style that had been used up to that point, and sported a fairly unique "Micro Transformers" logo.
