Transformers Encore

Transformers Encore is a series of Generation 1 reissues from TakaraTomy which began in 2007. The toys are packaged similarly to their Generation 1-styled boxes; the toys themselves are very close to the original releases, though there may be visible differences in plastic color tones or the substitution of extra paint applications for stickers. Fifteen packages have been released so far, with two in the wings.

List of Transformers Encore figures

#	Figure	Release date
1	Convoy (Optimus Prime)	September 2007
2	Megatron	September 2007
Additional figure: e-Hobby Black Megatron, not to be confused with the earlier e-Hobby version of Black Megatron.

5	Ironhide	December 2007
Additional figure: e-Hobby released a New Year Special Exclusive: "Black Protect Ironhide", which was available in April 2008. The text on e-Hobby's page for the toy indicates the black coloration is meant to homage Ironhide's original Diaclone version, but between the release of Emergency Green Ratchet and a hint in Ironhide's new bio, it's easy to see this is also an homage to the new Movie Ironhide. The packaging will be the same as the regular TF Encore Ironhide's. See the article on Ironhide for additional info.

Additional figure: A "Ratchet Emergency Green" redeco which homages Movie Ratchet is a Japanese mail-away exclusive available with a purchase of the book Transformers Visualworks.
