"Sloppiness is bad, cleanliness is good!"
"Sloppiness is bad, cleanliness is good!"

This article may require cleanup to meet the quality standards of MediaWiki.
Please discuss this issue on the talk page or append this tag with a more specific message.

Please provide a description of the cleanup needed.

For every Transformer that makes it to store shelves, there are always some that fall by the way. Lines get canceled, retailers back off on exclusives, designs go over budget, focus groups pass on a concept, or maybe they just weren't cool enough. Regardless of the whys and wherefores, this article aims to document the unreleased toys that never quite saw retail.

Note that this list will likely never be "complete," as for every concept design that makes it into collectors' hands, a countless number wind up in the garbage can.

(Quick! Get to the landfill outside Providence and START DIGGING.)
