In 1994, Hasbro UK and Hasbro International followed [[Hasbro]]'s lead and released the Generation 2 line.
 
==1994==
The overwhelming bulk of this year's product was made up of repackaged re-releases of 1993 product from both the European and American toylines, the latter being "new" to most European markets, and newly-developed toys released concurrently with the American market.
 
This year's releases started the trend of the European toys having extremely condensed on-package [[bio]]s, as some specs only had the figure's name, function and motto. Many quotes were changed from their previous releases as well.

Repackaged re-releases of the 1993 "Generation 1" [[Obliterator]]s, only with new character names for some reason we have yet to discern. Each massive vehicle's back end separates from the main robot portion and converts to a missile-launching battle platform.

'''Decepticons'''

Repackaged re-releases of the 1993 "Generation 1" [[Lightformer]]s and [[Trakkon]]s. Each toy comes with a massive artillery platform usable in both modes. These platforms use a combination of [[light-piping]] and gears to simulate two beams of laser fire striking your target if you look through their targeting scopes (even though Fearswoop is the only one with a double-barreled blaster).

Repackaged re-releases of the 1993 "Generation 1" [[Axelerator]]s and [[Skyscorcher]]s.

The Axelerators continue to use transparent-maroon plastic for their windshields and robot eyes, as opposed to the US versions' smoky-gray transparent plastic.
