==Galaxy Version==
==Galaxy Version==
''Galaxy Version'' launched in 2023 and is a series of fairly simple buildable 4" SD (slightly deformed) figures released in blind boxes based mostly on characters from G1 (although later waves have started to branch out into other media such as IDW). Figures come in waves of 9 unique figures, with one figure getting a metallic 'chase' version, and all feature a similar assembly out of the box. Many of the figures share parts to various degrees, although some are almost completely unique. Each figure comes with a pair of extra hands, some weapons, as well as a display base.
''Galaxy Version'' is a series of buildable 4" figures released in nine-figure blind box waves. Focusing primarily on Generation 1 (with [[Shattered Glass (disambiguation)|the]] [[2005 IDW continuity|occasional]] [[Transformers One (franchise)|detour]]), these snap-build kits are built on a standard body template, with 22 points of articulation. A select figure in each wave also has a chase variant, featuring extra accessories and a metallic paintjob.

==Shining Version==
''Shining Version'' launched in early 2024, featuring a smaller selection of blind-packed figures per wave built around a similar light-up torso piece as the ''Classic Edition'' figures. While initially consisting solely of repaints of ''Galaxy Version'' figures with light-up features and additional accessories (some of which were previously available with the chase variants of certain figures), wave 2 appears to include brand new molds- time will tell if these will be released in ''GV'' later. These sets also have a 1-in-6 chance of coming with a metallic chase figure.  
''Shining Version'' launched in early 2024, with six blind-packed figures per wave each equipped with the light-up torsos of ''Classic Class'' figures. These figures consist mostly of parts from ''Galaxy Version'', boasting new decos and additional accessories. Starting in Wave 2, wholly new figures have been addded to the mix—time will tell if these will be released in ''GV'' later. Metallic chase figures drop at a rate of 1 in every 6 cases.

''Classic Class'' is series of figures that debuted in 2023 alongside ''Galaxy Version'' in the same 4" scale and 'SD' style, but this time based on the live action movies and consisting of more expensive and intricate buildable figures with the same light-up feature as ''Shining Version''. At first going heavy on the cast of 'Rise of the Beasts' (the most recent movie as of their release), later waves have branched out into other live action films. Initially some of these figures were released in 2-packs alongside dioramas meant emulate moments from 'RotB', but eventually they did all get standalone releases.

Action Edition began around mid-2024, containing one-off releases of larger model kits based on Transformers characters at a higher complexity more similar to Flame Toys' Kurai Transformers models or Bandai's Master Grade Gunpla kits compared to the simpler construction of their other lines, and containing more special features such as glowing elements, opening compartments and articulated hands but still similarly stylised to their smaller offerings. The only figure currently available in this line is a G1 version of Optimus Prime.
Launched in 2024, ''Action Edition'' delivers a larger model kit with a more involved build experience compared to their other offerings, with accessories and features galore. A sneaky magnetic component in Optimus Prime's base activates his light features, vigorous shaking not required.
