| '''Super Collection Figure''' or '''"SCF"''' is a series of non-transformable [[Plastic|PVC]] figures that closely resemble characters from the various Transformers TV series. They were later released in the United States as '''Heroes of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]'''.
| |
| | |
| ==SCF==
| |
| Standard SCF figures were a mighty three inches tall, included a clear plastic stand, and were sold [[Blindpacking|blind-packed]] in a case of twelve. There were ten [[wave]]s or "Acts" released in Japan starting in late 2000. The first eight Acts featured characters from the [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[continuity]], whereas Acts Nine & Ten were based solely on ''[[Armada (franchise)|Micron Legend]]'' characters.
| |
| | |
| [[Chase figure]]s were found randomly dispersed in each wave. Some were [[repaint]]s of existing figures, but many were new or [[retool]]ed [[mold]]s. From Act Three through Act Eight, pieces to construct larger-[[scale]] characters replaced the normal-sized chase figures. Additionally, there were [[exclusive]] figures available only at [[convention]]s, and one [[Lucky Draw figure|Lucky Draw]] prize that may or may not have ever seen actual release.
| |
| | |
| Each figure (including the larger chase constructs) was available in both the character's original animation colors as well as a second deco. In Acts One through Three this was clear plastic; Acts Four through Ten featured a metallic "pewter" finish.

| |
| Mega SCF figures were five-inch versions of popular Transformers characters.

The first wave was based on characters from the Generation One continuity, the second featured characters from Micron Legend.

| ==Heroes of Cybertron==
| |
| The Hasbro counterparts to SCF were the '''Heroes of Cyberton''' (or '''HOC'''), released in a total of five waves featuring only G1 characters. Some notable differences between the two lines:
| |
| | |
| *Figures were sold on blister cards instead of blindpacked boxes
| |
| | |
| *Each figure included a collector card depicting the character
| |
| | |
| *Figures were available only as color versions; no clear or pewter [[variant]]s were produced
| |
| | |
| *Bonus figure components were included with each figure in waves 4 & 5, instead of 'replacing' a figure, as with SCF
| |
| | |
| *Figures did not have the clear plastic stand included with the SCF versions
| |
| | |
| *Figures were made of blue or red translucent plastic, and then painted to allow [[light-piping]].
