And watch the cartoon, too! It's not nearly this pretty, but it gives you time to blink.

Despite the existence of comics, cartoons, and other media intended to advertise Transformers toys, Hasbro has routinely commissioned standard television commercials to promote their current toy lines.

Commercials for Transformers typically use a combination of animation and live-action film featuring the characters/toys in question.

Notes: One of the kids had a poster for the 1986 animated movie in his room. The whole commercial has a dubbed over feel, as Megatron and Optimus Prime sound nothing like the voices used for the show (presumably because casting had not yet been done) and the sound quality of the narration seems below that of the rest of the commercial.

• Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus [15] - Same as previous commercial, but Neil Kaplan voices Optimus Prime and the narration is the actor used for the rest of the Robots in Disguise commercials. Also, the background music doesn't stop while the kids shout to each other from their windows.

Idyllic scenes of nature on earth are followed by scenes of the Decepticon army mobilizing with an epic choral tune playing the background. The mood shifts as scenes of the Autobots taking action are accompanied by a rock version of the Generation 1 theme.

Notes: The "Transformers, robots in disguise" clip used in the rock rendition of the theme seems to be taken from the original G1 Season 1 theme song. This trailer is composed mostly of actual gameplay footage with a smattering of cut scene footage thrown in.

Toy segment: Kids playing with the toys in what looks like a basement or maybe a warehouse.

Notes: Energon Unicron appears in the static shot of the toys at the end, as well as in the background of some of the other toy scenes. This suggests that a longer version of the commercial, which would feature Energon Unicron along with the other two toys, exists.

Eachsoldseparatelybatteriesnotincludedactualchangetimewillvary.
