Bludgeon effect: the toyline!

The Precursor World, like Shattered Glass before it, is fairly unusual in the constellation of Transformers continuities in that it is populated almost entirely by toys originally from other Transformers toylines that have been repurposed by official fiction as Precursor World characters.

A few additional fiction-only Precursor character designs are based on existing toys/characters with new color schemes, meaning they potentially could be manufactured some day, or recreated by enterprising kitbashers.

Toys

[edit]

Precursor World toys

[edit]

The humble handful of toys created with the explicit intent of tying into the Precursor World storyline were released through TakaraTomy's Spin Off label of exclusives under the Legends banner.

Legends Megalligator


In a fairly unprecedented moment in the history of official repurposing (prepurposing?), the Shattered Glass Collection Ultra Magnus toy was triple billed as Shattered Glass Ultra Magnus, Delta Magnus, and Precursor World native Magna Convoy with devoted tooling and deco choices for each.[1]

    Accessories

    [edit]

    The Precursor World goes one step further than repurposing action figures, frequently repurposing bits and bobs from across Transformers history as new artifacts. Figures with which the accessories are packed are listed in parentheses.

    Virtual redecos

    [edit]

    Like Shattered Glass and Beast Wars: Uprising before it, the Precursor World makes use of real world molds in fictional color schemes, commonly referred to as "virtual" redecos.

    Sentinel Armada

    [edit]

    The Sentinel Armada are a fleet of Titans Return Sentinel Prime redecoes, each in the color scheme of their respective Order.

    Others

    [edit]

    Names are makeshift descriptors unless in bold.
