Revision as of 18:39, 7 October 2010
The Allspark Power sub-line was the first refresh line for the 2007 Transformers movie toyline. It was later followed by the Premium Series sub-line.
The AllSpark Power sub-line was composed primarily of redecos of existing toys from the movie line. A few new molds, based on vehicles that appeared in the movie, were also released, as were a handful of redecos of toys from previous lines that were available as store exclusives.
All AllSpark Power figures sported parts in varying levels of "Allspark blue", a rather garish shade of bright blue, using either paint operations or plastic parts molded in that color.
The Allspark Power packaging differed from the previous packaging as well. Although it retained the dark red colour and "battle damage" along the sides, the exposed mechanical parts had blue electricity (remniscient of the AllSpark's energy) overlaying them.
Only four AllSpark Power toys were available in Japan. All of them included a miniature AllSpark cube accessory that was not included with the Hasbro versions.
- French-Canadian name: Le Pouvoir de l'Étincelle Suprême
- South American Spanish name: El Poder de la Chispa Suprema
Toyline
United States mass market retail toys
AllSpark Battles (Legends Class two-packs)
- Cliffjumper vs. Recon Barricade
- Autobot Jazz vs. Bonecrusher
- Rescue Ratchet vs. Decepticon Brawl
- Ironhide vs. Desert Blackout
- Nightwatch Optimus Prime vs. Stealth Starscream
- Battle Jazz vs. Ice Megatron
- Bumblebee vs. Scorponok
Although not officially referred to as part of the AllSpark Power sub-line, the packaging for the AllSpark Battles two-packs of Legends Class toys used the same graphics and layouts as the other toys from the AllSpark Power sub-set otherwise.
Deluxe Class
The Japanese version of Landmine sported a slightly darker shade of green for the plastic used, as well as rubber tires (as compared to the Hasbro version's plastic tires). Like all Japanese AllSpark Power toys, he was available with a miniature AllSpark cube accessory.
Of the four AllSpark Power toys released in Japan, Stockade was the only one virtually indistinguishable from his Hasbro counterpart. Like all Japanese AllSpark Power toys, he was available with a miniature AllSpark cube accessory.
Voyager Class
The Japanese version of Incinerator replaced the different shades of gray with a predominantly black color, and sported additional "0025" markings on his tailfins. Like all Japanese AllSpark Power toys, he was available with a miniature AllSpark cube accessory.
Leader Class
United States market store exclusive releases
Scout Class (Target exclusives)
Deluxe Class (Target exclusives)
These four toys were also available as non-exclusive mass retail releases in Hong Kong, and as Sainsbury's exclusives in the United Kingdom.
Deluxe Class (Walmart exclusives)
Voyager Class (Toys "R" Us exclusives)
Ultra Class (Toys "R" Us exclusives)
Non-United States market releases
Deluxe Class
Black Arcee was exclusively available in Japan, in Hasbro-style packaging. Like all Japanese AllSpark Power toys, she was available with a miniature AllSpark cube accessory.
Legends Class
Although not officially referred to as part of the AllSpark Power sub-line (or any other sub-set, for that matter), the packaging for these four Legends Class toys, which were released as single packs in various countries in Europe, Asia and Oceania and are otherwise identical to the toys of the same names available as part of the AllSpark Battles two-packs on the United States market, used the same graphics and layouts as the other toys from the AllSpark Power sub-set.
Notes
- Although Leader Class Nightwatch Optimus Prime was available in Japan as well, the Japanese version - which was virtually identical to the version previously released in the United Kingdom - was lacking the "AllSpark Power" blue accents from the toy itself and all the characteristic "AllSpark Power" style elements from the packaging.
- The Target exclusive Deep Space Starscream redeco of Voyager Class Starscream, officially recognized as a Premium Series toy by Hasbro, sports several of the familiar "AllSpark Power" style elements (but not the name "AllSpark Power") on its packaging for reasons unknown.
