Transform Jr—originally called Transform Gōkin (トランスフォーム合金, "Transform Alloy")—is a 1980s Japanese-exclusive toyline that featured smaller versions of toys from the Generation 1 era. They were released by Seven, a subsidiary of Takara. These toys transform similarly to their larger counterparts but many leave out more complicated transformation steps, like Star Saber's Brainmaster gimmick, Ultra Magnus combining with a trailer, or Metroplex and Trypticon transforming into a third mode. Thick, folded paper was frequently used to substitute for missing accessories, such as Rodimus's, Optimus's, and Ultra Magnus's trailers, and Star Saber's nose cone. Many of the Jr toys were released individually and in multipacks with Convoy, Chromedome, Fortress Maximus, and Star Saber all managing to get three releases.
