Transformers Encore

« Encore Toyline

Transformers Encore (トランスフォーマーアンコール Toransufōmā Ankōru) is a series of Generation 1 reissues from TakaraTomy which began in 2007, succeeding The Transformers Collection. The toys are packaged similarly to their Generation 1-styled boxes; the toys themselves are very close to the original releases, though there may be visible differences in plastic color tones or the substitution of extra paint applications for stickers.

In 2018, the lineup returned and focused on reissuing post-Generation 1 toys until 2020.

List of Transformers Encore figures

#	Figure	Release date
01	Convoy	September 2007
02	Megatron	September 2007
Additional figure: e-HOBBY Black Megatron, not to be confused with the earlier e-HOBBY version of Black Megatron.

Additional figure: e-HOBBY released a New Year Special Exclusive: "Black Protect Ironhide", which was available in April 2008. The text on e-Hobby's page for the toy indicates the black coloration is meant to homage Ironhide's original Diaclone predecessor, but between the release of Ratchet Emergency Green and a hint in Ironhide's new bio, it's easy to see this is also an homage to the new live-action film series Ironhide. The packaging was the same as the regular Encore Ironhide's. See the article on Ironhide for additional info.
