However, this line has a much, ''much'' broader scope, with most of the crossovers being with properties not owned or long-term-licensed by Hasbro. This has also led the line to have a very high percentage of original characters.


The first couple of ''Collaborative''... uh, collaborations received tie-in crossover comics during [[IDW Publishing]]'s time with the ''Transformers'' license.

Announced in the run-up to [[Toy Fair 2019]], preorders for Ectotron went up on [[Hasbro Pulse]] on [[February 15]], 2019, and was also sold online through [[GameStop]] in the [[United States of America|United States]], [[EB Games]] in [[Canada]], and [[Zing]] and EB Games in Australia. In [[2020]], additional online retailers offered it for sale. MP-10G Ecto-35 Edition Optimus Prime debuted as an exclusive at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] in 2019, with additional availability at Fan Expo Canada and the Hasbro Pulse online store.
{{note|Unlike most toy lists on this wiki, these are in chronological order, both in the order the crossovers are presented and and in the column contents. Items in the columns are alphabetized when toys are released simultaneously. There can sometimes be gaps between releases in a single crossover (sometimes years-long!), so if you see a jump in alphabetizing, that's a sign of a gap.}}


[[2021]]'s Ectotron was released as a [[Target]] [[exclusive]], going up for preorder on [[November 13]], 2020 and later made available as a Toyworld exclusive, in [[New Zealand]]. It is also available on Hasbro Pulse in the [[United Kingdom]].

Gigawatt was released in two separate versions: a [[Walmart]]-exclusive numbered edition was put up for preorder on [[July 2]], 2020 with added graphics on the box identifying the figure as one of a limited run of 1,985. A standard non-numbered version was made available through [[Hasbro Pulse]] and other "select retailers" on [[October 1]]. In July, [[TakaraTomy]] announced that they would be releasing Gigawatt as well, making it the first ''Collaborative'' product to be released in [[Japan]]. Gigawatt was later released in [[Italy]] initially as a Gamestop-exclusive and then on [[Amazon]] starting from January 2021. On [[September 27]], 2021, Gigawatt was sold as a Mighty Ape-exclusive in [[New Zealand]]. It was also available on Hasbro Pulse in the [[United Kingdom]].

A western release of the 2018 ''[[Street Fighter II × Transformers]]'' toyline, in celebration of the ''{{w|Street Fighter}}'' franchise's 35th anniversary. The toys were announced to be coming westward on [[June 24]], [[2022]], and were released as Target and Hasbro Pulse exclusives.
 
These are almost ''exactly'' the same as the TakaraTomy releases, even down to the packaging. The Hasbro versions just add a wraparound fake-box cover to the original Japanese packaging. Presumably the only differences are the addition of tampographed production stamping to the toys proper.

===''Volvo Trucks × Transformers''===
[[File:VNR-Optimus-Prime.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|''Volvo Trucks × Transformers'' VNR Optimus Prime]]
This collaboration with {{w|Volvo}} is a direct redeco of the quizzical [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#Holiday Optimus Prime|Holiday Optimus Prime]] toy with an idiosyncratic history. The figure seems to have its origins in a no-show [[Amazon (website)|Amazon Prime]] × ''Transformers Collaborative'' toy that was listed on Amazon.com.au in July 2022<ref>[https://tformers.com/leaked-transformers-x-amazon-prime-collaborative-optimus-prime-delivery-truck-listing/46484/news.html Tformers.com reports on a leaked Amazon Prime Collaborative listing]</ref> after its existence was first leaked by "secret inside sources" types in June the previous year.<ref>[https://tformers.com/41962 Tformers.com reports on mid-2021 rumours]</ref> Like VNR and Holiday Prime, the Amazon mashup was also specified to turn into a licensed Volvo truck in 37 steps. The mold ultimately surfaced as the suspiciously high effort Holiday Optimus Prime for the Christmas season 2022 before its rerelease in more traditional colors as the largely unmarked "VNR Optimus Prime" in 2023, identifiable as a ''Collaborative'' release solely by its internal paperwork. It seems this Volvo truck finally found its way back into ''Collaborative''... as a collab with Volvo themselves.

Transformers Collaborative is a subline of the Generations franchise that began in 2019, intended to incorporate entertainment properties originating outside of the Transformers brand, not unlike the Crossovers franchise (2008–2011) before it. However, this line has a much, much broader scope, with most of the crossovers being with properties not owned or long-term-licensed by Hasbro. This has also led the line to have a very high percentage of original characters.

The first couple of Collaborative... uh, collaborations received tie-in crossover comics during IDW Publishing's time with the Transformers license.

Transformers robots have always been—More Than Meets the Eye—but now, through the Transformers Collaborative, fans can experience these larger than life characters as they team-up, mash-up, and meet up with other characters, teams, and people who share this same special quality.{{#if:|{{{quote2}}}}}{{#if:Collaborative marketing blurb|Collaborative marketing blurb{{#if:|, {{{3}}}|}}|}}

Fiction

[edit]
Occurs in IDW's pre-existing ongoing Ghostbusters universe.

Toyline

[edit]
Unlike most toy lists on this wiki, these are in chronological order, both in the order the crossovers are presented and and in the column contents. Items in the columns are alphabetized when toys are released simultaneously. There can sometimes be gaps between releases in a single crossover (sometimes years-long!), so if you see a jump in alphabetizing, that's a sign of a gap.
