| The name or term "Universe" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Universe (disambiguation). |
The 2008 Universe is the second Transformers franchise to use the name. Like the previous franchise, this line is intended to be something of a catch-all for toys that don't fit in the main line. While the contemporary main line for this Universe is Transformers Animated, for some reason Hasbro has actually included a few Animated figures in it too.
The franchise consists of:
- A toyline
- A Flash-animated web cartoon that Hasbro has probably forgotten about.
Additional fictional support has been provided by the contemporaneous comic book series, which uses a number of toy designs from the series.
Hasbro first announced the line at BotCon 2007, stating that it would not have an overall story arc. The "main" focus of the line are the price points Legends Class, Deluxe Class, Voyager Class and Ultra Class, which consist of new molds for "classic" characters from various previous lines, as well as redecos of existing toys from older lines (such as Cybertron and the 2006 Classics line). In addition, there are also numerous store exclusive single and multi-packs, which also consist of redecos of toys from older lines.
Many of the new-mold toys are meant to feature "realistic" vehicle modes (a niche left otherwise unfilled after the end of the 2007 movie line), although that aspect has since been muddled with the introduction of Legends Class toys for characters from the current Animated line (which have not-so-realistic vehicle modes) and Beast Wars characters (which have animal forms as their alternate modes, not vehicles). The G1 series also causes trouble, as suitcase-sized microcassetes aren't really that common, and flying spaceships aren't masters of disguise. Unless you're on Cybertron or something.
And just to break the vehicle-mode-based pattern completely, Universe also continues the non-transforming, super-cute Robot Heroes line.
The Universe toys are attributed to various "series". Those are:
- Classic Series, continuing the Classics franchise. This is by far the most prevalent sub-line.
- Generation 1 Series (alternatively also named G1 Series on some toys' packaging), rooted in the original Generation 1 franchise. The exact difference between "Classic Series" and "Generation 1 Series" is unclear, and further muddled as the line progresses. However, the one thing that can be said is that some characters can have their G1 altmodes instead of the insistence that everyone is a vehicle, like spaceships and suitcase sized microcassetes.
- War Within Series, based on the War Within comic. Thus far only used for one store exclusive two-pack.
- Armada Series, adding to the Armada franchise.
- Animated Series, representing the Transformers Animated franchise.
- Beast Wars Series
- Beast Machines Series
- Robots in Disguise Series
- Cybertron Series
In January 2008, Hasbro launched a web page for the new Universe line, featuring a preview of the first "Classic Series" wave and a CGI reimagining of the battle between Megatron and Optimus Prime from the original animated Transformers movie. The tagline for the video, in keeping with the toyline's theme, was "They were always real to me."
In 2009, the packaging gained a "25 Years" corner logo to commemorate Transformers' 25th anniversary, as the toyline's offerings expanded to include updates of key characters from every franchise.
