| | |
| 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.
| |
| | |
| ===Heroics===
| |
| These versions of the Autobot cars have altered decos (to varying degrees) and new weapons usable in both robot and vehicle modes.

| |
| 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.

| 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. Each robot uses a hand-held cannon made of part of their vehicle mode; the Axelerators use their [[chrome]]d engine-blocks, while the Skyscorchers use their under-slung radar assemblies. The Axelerators continue to use transparent-maroon plastic for their windshields and robot eyes, as opposed to the US versions' smoky-gray transparent plastic.
