Transformers Collaborative

Transformers Collaborative is a subline of the Generations franchise that began in 2019, intended to incorporate properties originating outside of the Transformers brand, not unlike the Crossovers franchise (2008–2011) before it.

Unlike its predecessor, some Collaborative toys feature tie-in crossover comics published by IDW Publishing.
