Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (変形!ヘンケイ!トランスフォーマー, "Transform! Transform! Transformers") is the name of the Japanese version of the Classics toyline (and part of the 2008 Universe toyline). Like the Beast Wars Returns toyline before it, this line features several redecoes of existing figures to make them look more like the original character models than their American counterparts.
Each toy is packaged with a short "mini-manga", while a different, full-length manga series was also been published in Comic Bun Bun. The two mangas are not in continuity with each other. Three short comics were also published in each of the three Transformers Generations 2009 guide books. Somewhat unbelievably for Japan, the mangas all opted to present the Henkei! universe as a new continuity, rather than shoehorning it somewhere into the cartoon continuity, as had been the default approach to new Generation 1 media up to that point.
