According to this page as it stands, the Japanese versions of G1 Powerglide, Beachcomber and Seaspray were released in 1985. However, photos of the boxes show that those toys have the ID numbers C-62, C-63 and C-64 respectively. As far as I was aware, Japanese Transformers didn't start getting the C and D prefixes until the second year of releases (i.e. 1986). For context, C-60 and C-61 were the 1986 figures Pipes and Tailgate. So what gives? Is the Wiki wrong and these figures ought to be in the 1986 section, or is the Wiki correct and (for some weird reason) they just happened to have 1986 numbering despite being released in 1985? This page: [http://mostlytransformersredux.blogspot.co.uk/2012/01/1985-japanese-transformers-catalog.html] has a scan of the 85 toy catalogue and Powerglide, Beachcomber and Seaspray aren't on it. I'm inclined to believe these three toys should be moved to the 1986 list. Anyone concur?

:The entire formatting of the list is weird. It's all sorted based on United States assortments while completely omitting the Japanese ID numbers. Basically, this is the Japanese toyline from a US perspective, or something.--[[User:Nevermore|Nevermore]] ([[User talk:Nevermore|talk]]) 05:41, 13 October 2016 (EDT) | |||

2006 Primus toy go here?
Should the 2006 Primus toy go here? As far as I can tell it isn't on any other toyline page and it should probably go somewhere. It is retroactively given the lowest ID number (C-00) and it seems to just use the F!SRLT logo (but I don't read Japanese).
On the Primus page the toy is listed under "Generation 1" which is a little strange since I don't think Japan ever had anything called "Generation 1" but anyway. - Starfield 17:09, 28 March 2010 (EDT)
1985 Minibots?
According to this page as it stands, the Japanese versions of G1 Powerglide, Beachcomber and Seaspray were released in 1985. However, photos of the boxes show that those toys have the ID numbers C-62, C-63 and C-64 respectively. As far as I was aware, Japanese Transformers didn't start getting the C and D prefixes until the second year of releases (i.e. 1986). For context, C-60 and C-61 were the 1986 figures Pipes and Tailgate. So what gives? Is the Wiki wrong and these figures ought to be in the 1986 section, or is the Wiki correct and (for some weird reason) they just happened to have 1986 numbering despite being released in 1985? This page: [1] has a scan of the 85 toy catalogue and Powerglide, Beachcomber and Seaspray aren't on it. I'm inclined to believe these three toys should be moved to the 1986 list. Anyone concur?
