I did my best to find every Jada release (and unreleased announcement) so far, so I hope there's nothing missing from this page. I'll be updating each character's page for the next few days and then I'll come back to add the proper anchors.

The ''Metals Die Cast'' assortment features faithful vehicle recreations at three different scales: 1/24, 1/32 and 1/64. Similar to the [[Robot Powered Machines#Mini-Vehicles|RPM Mini-Vehicles]], all scales feature a sculpted image of the robot mode on the bottom of the vehicle.
The ''Metals Die Cast'' assortment features faithful die-cast vehicle recreations with rubber tires at various scale sizes. Similar to the ''[[Robot Powered Machines#Mini-Vehicles|Robot Powered Machines]]'', the 1/24 and 1/32 scales feature a sculpted image of the robot mode on the bottom of the vehicle, while the 1/64 scale has only the robot's face sculpted. Beginning in 2018, the ''Hollywood Rides'' brand started to be used simultaneously with (and sometimes in place of) the ''Metals Die Cast'' brand.

''[[Transformers: The Last Knight (film)|The Last Knight]]'' vehicles were made available in [[2017]] to tie-in with the film's release.

The ''Hollywood Rides'' assortment is essentially the successor to the ''Metals Die Cast'' above. It features the return of the 1/24 and 1/32 scales for die-cast replicas while also introducing the 1/12 and 1/16 scales for radio-controlled vehicle toys. All products were released in 2018.

To tie-in with the contemporary ''[[Studio Series]]'' toyline, Jada released replicas of Bumblebee and Optimus Prime based on their alternate modes from the [[Transformers (film)|first live-action movie]]. Their packagings even feature the same "Police Chase" and "Forest Fight" backdrops included with the first ''Studio Series'' release of each respective character. Both versions of Bumblebee are available with and without a collectible coin. A model based on Sideswipe's ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' vehicle mode was later announced, but was eventually cancelled.

Despite being branded as a ''Rescue Bots Academy'' product, the controllers feature a sticker with the old ''Rescue Bots'' logo and the figures themselves are based on the character designs from the original series rather than its sequel.

Jada Toys is an American toy company focused on manufacturing licensed die-cast figures and car replicas from popular brands and franchises.

Transformers characters from the live-action film series, Generation 1 and Rescue Bots have been included in a number of Jada's toylines, mostly in the form of vehicle mode replicas, and are usually co-branded with concurrently released Transformers toylines.

Metals Die Cast / Hollywood Rides

The Metals Die Cast assortment features faithful die-cast vehicle recreations with rubber tires at various scale sizes. Similar to the Robot Powered Machines, the 1/24 and 1/32 scales feature a sculpted image of the robot mode on the bottom of the vehicle, while the 1/64 scale has only the robot's face sculpted. Beginning in 2018, the Hollywood Rides brand started to be used simultaneously with (and sometimes in place of) the Metals Die Cast brand.

The Last Knight

The Last Knight vehicles were made available in 2017 to tie-in with the film's release. All 1/24 models except for Optimus Prime include a collectible coin, while most 1/64 models come with a display base with an image of the character's robot mode printed on them. The bases can be aligned side-by-side to create a unified backdrop.

The TakaraTomy Mall exclusive Optimus Prime is sold as a 1/64 model even though it's actually identical to the 1/32 release. The reason may be because the trailer is sized specifically to store 1/64 cars inside.

The Transformers

In 2018, two replicas of Generation 1 Optimus Prime were released in packaging directly based on the original The Transformers toyline. Other characters were later announced for this line, but never saw release.

Bumblebee

To tie-in with the release of the Bumblebee movie in 2018, two monster truck-style radio controlled Bumblebee alternate modes were released, as well as a more traditional robot-on-chassis replica of the character's VW mode which comes packaged with a static figurine of Charlie Watson.

Studio Series

To tie-in with the contemporary Studio Series toyline also in 2018, Jada released replicas of Bumblebee and Optimus Prime based on their alternate modes from the first live-action movie. Their packagings even feature the same "Police Chase" and "Forest Fight" backdrops included with the first Studio Series release of each character respectively. Both versions of Bumblebee are available with and without a collectible coin. Two models based on Sideswipe's Revenge of the Fallen vehicle mode were later announced, but eventually cancelled.

Metalfigs

Opposing all products above, the Metalfigs assortment features die-cast robot mode figures at two different sizes. The 4 inches tall figures are super deformed and feature three points of articulation, while the 2 3/4 inches tall figures are more standard-looking and completely static.

The Last Knight

Two figures based on The Last Knight characters were released in 2018.

The Transformers

2020 saw the release of figures based on Generation 1 characters instead. The 4" figures now feature light-up eyes and come with two accessories each.

Nano Hollywood Rides

The Nano Hollywood Rides assortment is comprised of very small vehicle replicas measuring approximately 1.65 inches long, similar in size to but less detailed than the 1/64 scaled Metals Die Cast models. They don't feature their robot modes embossed on their undersides, however. All products in this line are also branded as Die Cast Collector's Series and were released (or supposed to be released) in 3-packs.

The Last Knight

Only one 3-pack based on the first and fifth movies was released in 2019 in what was originally planned to be a larger toyline covering all live-action movies. Two more 3-packs were announced for a 2020 release but were left unreleased.

An image of the Age of Extinction Hot Shot toy was used for the announcement, but it was most likely just a placeholder for another character.

The Transformers

Similarly, only one 3-pack based on Generation 1 was released in 2020, with a second one announced but ultimately never released.

Rescue Bots Academy

Perhaps the most unexpected product made by Jada is their single addition to the Rescue Bots Academy toyline, a set released in 2019 comprised of two remote controlled bumper cars, each piloted by a removable robot figure. Despite being branded as a Rescue Bots Academy product, the controllers feature a sticker with the old Rescue Bots logo and the figures themselves are based on the character designs from the original series rather than its sequel.
