Transformers: G-2 was Takara's first foray back into Transformers after ending the line in 1992 with Operation Combination. Available for only the latter half of 1995, G-2 did not include any of the Generation 1 molds (including the later European ones) which were in the American and European versions of Generation 2. Only the more poseable toys newly created for the Generation 2 lines were used. In addition, three of the Go-Bots would be released (with minor changes) late in the year to grocery and convenience stores through Takara's subsidiary Seven. The G-2 toyline was not a major financial success for Takara. As a result, there would be another Transformers drought in Japan until the introduction of Beast Wars in 1997.

Notes
- While most of the brand new Generation 2 molds were released in G-2, the first Generation 2 Megatron, the Rotor Force, the Autorollers, and three of the six Go-Bots were all omitted. Megatron and the Autorollers would later see release in Beast Wars II while the three Go-Bots would be used in Car Robots.
- Due to being released through Seven, the Go-Bots did not receive ID numbers and were not part of the main G-2 line. They were packaged on cards which were identical to the US versions on the front except for some Japanese language stickers. The backs, however, were re-done for Japanese market.
