Toys
The Headmasters
- As part of the Headmasters line, the Trainbots were only available in Japan. They were available in either separate boxes or as a large Raiden multi-pack. Like the Constructicons, the Trainbots were based on Diaclone molds, and do not have interchangeable limbs when combining into Raiden like the "Scramble City" combiners.
Transform Jr
- Raiden (1987)
- An exceedingly simplified version of the entire Trainbot team was made available as part of the Transform Jr series. Each individual has a (stumpy) representation of their larger robot modes, and could combine to form a stumpy Raiden.
Zone
- The Trainbots were re-released during Zone in new packaging, and only as individuals, never in a box set. The toys are identical to their original Headmasters incarnations.
