Transformers: Platinum Edition is a collector-oriented toyline which began in 2013. It is composed entirely of retools and redecos of existing molds, which are presented in premium packaging. It can be considered a spiritual successor to the Premium Series subline imprint of the 2007 Transformers movie toy line.
In 2014, it got absorbed into the Age of Extinction and in the process dropped its own unique packaging designs as well as its own logo in favor of the uniform Age of Extinction packaging design, reducing the title "Platinum Edition" to a small line in neutral text above the toys' names. In 2015, the same formula was continued under the Generations line.
The Platinum Edition branding seems to have been replaced by the Transformers Tribute branding in 2017 for the tenth anniversary of the live-action film series. It remains to be seen whether Platinum Edition will return in 2018.
