'''''Transform Jr'''''—originally called '''''Transform Gōkin''''' (トランスフォーム合金, "'''Transform Alloy'''")—is a Japanese-exclusive toyline that featured smaller versions of toys from the [[Generation 1]] era. (The "'''Transform Block'''" [[Sunstreaker]] toy, while technically not in the same line, did come in the same style packaging and is approximately the same size as the ''Jr'' toys.) They were released by a subsidiary of Takara called "[[Seven]]". These toys transform similarly to their larger counterparts but many leave out more complicated transformation steps, like Star Saber's Brainmaster gimmick, Ultra Magnus combining with a trailer, or Metroplex and Trypticon transforming into a third mode. Thick, folded paper was frequently used to substitute for missing accessories, such as Rodimus's, Optimus's, and Ultra Magnus's trailers, and Star Saber's nose cone. | '''''Transform Jr'''''—originally called '''''Transform Gōkin''''' (トランスフォーム合金, "'''Transform Alloy'''")—is a Japanese-exclusive toyline that featured smaller versions of toys from the [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] era.

Transform Jr—originally called Transform Gōkin (トランスフォーム合金, "Transform Alloy")—is a Japanese-exclusive toyline that featured smaller versions of toys from the Generation 1 era. (The "Transform Block" Sunstreaker toy, while technically not in the same line, did come in the same style packaging and is approximately the same size as the Jr toys.) They were released by a subsidiary of Takara called "Seven". These toys transform similarly to their larger counterparts but many leave out more complicated transformation steps, like Star Saber's Brainmaster gimmick, Ultra Magnus combining with a trailer, or Metroplex and Trypticon transforming into a third mode. Thick, folded paper was frequently used to substitute for missing accessories, such as Rodimus's, Optimus's, and Ultra Magnus's trailers, and Star Saber's nose cone.
