| '''''Transformers: The Headmasters''''' (トランスフォーマー ザ★ヘッドマスターズ) was the first Japanese-exclusive ''Transformers'' [[franchise]], released in 1987. Following on from ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers 2010 (franchise)|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers 2010]]'' in 1986, ''The Headmasters'' began the period of distinction between American and Japanese products that would continue throughout the rest of ''Generation 1''.
| |
| | |
| The franchise consists of the following components:
| |
| | |
| *Toys released under the original ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)#1987 (The Headmasters)|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers]]'' branding (with only those figures sporting an actual ''The Headmasters'' branding that actually ''were'' Headmasters), consisting of most of the toys released in Hasbro markets in 1987, with several additional new figures.
| |
| *A [[Transformers: The Headmasters (cartoon)|television series]], which ignored the [[The Rebirth|final episodes]] of the American [[The Transformers (cartoon)|Generation 1]] animated series and began its own story.
| |
| *A [[Transformers: The Headmasters (manga)|manga]] series.
| |
| *A [[Transformers: The Headmasters (story page)|series of story pages]].
| |
| | |
| The gulf between American and Japanese fiction continued to widen the following year, when the franchise was rebranded as ''[[Transformers: Super-God Masterforce (franchise)|Super-God Masterforce]]''.
