Let's see what you can see...

This article is in need of images.

Super Collection Figure or "SCF" is a series of non-transformable PVC figures that closely resemble characters from the various Transformers TV series. They were later released in the United States as Heroes of Cybertron.

SCF

Standard SCF figures were a mighty three inches tall, included a clear plastic stand, and were sold blind-packed in a case of twelve. There were ten waves or "Acts" released in Japan starting in late 2000. The first eight Acts featured characters from the Generation 1 continuity, whereas Acts Nine & Ten were based solely on Micron Legend characters.

Chase figures were found randomly dispersed in each wave. Some were repaints of existing figures, but many were new or retooled molds. From Act Three through Act Eight, pieces to construct larger-scale characters replaced the normal-sized chase figures. Additionally, there were exclusive figures available only at conventions, and one Lucky Draw prize that may or may not have ever seen actual release.

Each figure (including the larger chase constructs) was available in both the character's original animation colors as well as a second deco. In Acts One through Three this was clear plastic; Acts Four through Ten featured a metallic "pewter" finish.

Mega SCF

Mega SCF figures were five-inch versions of popular Transformers characters. Each came with an assortment of accessories, alternately posed hands, and were more poseable than their three-inch counterparts. Like the smaller SCFs, the figures were initially based on characters from the original Transformers series, while later figures were characters from The Legend of the Microns.

Of note is the hilarious engrish version of "More Than Meets the Eye" seen on the packaging of these figures.

Regular figures

Exclusive figures

  • Convoy Damage Version — Robot Station 2002 (May 2002)
  • 03-X1 Megatron Metallic Version w/ Buzzsaw — Wonder Festival 2002 (July 2002)


Heroes of Cybertron

The Hasbro counterparts to SCF were the Heroes of Cyberton (or HOC), released in a total of five waves featuring only G1 characters. Some notable differences between the two lines:

  • Figures were sold on blister cards instead of blindpacked boxes
  • Each figure included a collector card depicting the character
  • Figures were available only as color versions; no clear or pewter variants were produced
  • Bonus figure components were included with each figure in waves 4 & 5, instead of 'replacing' a figure, as with SCF
  • Figures did not have the clear plastic stand included with the SCF versions
  • Figures were made of blue or red translucent plastic, and then painted to allow light-piping.

Wave 1

Wave 2

  • Optimus Prime w/ energy weapon
  • Megatron w/ energy weapon
  • Paradron Medic
  • Powermaster Optimus Prime Spark Attack (molded in clear orange)
  • Thundercracker

Heroes of Cybertron (2006)

Re-releases of Hasbro's first Heroes of Cybertron line, produced to coincide with the 2006 DVD release of the original The Transformers: The Movie and the upcoming Transformers (2007) movie.

The figures were virtually the same as the previous HOC releases, except for being cast in solid rather than translucent plastic, more in keeping with the SCF originals. The 2006 series did not include any bonus figures.

  • Megatron
  • Optimus Prime
  • Rodimus Prime
