Reveal the Shield is a subline imprint of the 2010 Transformers line that began in November 2010. As a toy line with loosely defined fiction continuity, it's both a continuation of the Hunt for the Decepticons segment of the 2010 Transformers line (which itself was a continuation of the Revenge of the Fallen toy line) and one of the spiritual successors of the 2006 Classics line. Confusingly, it runs concurrently with the Generations line, which is also a Classics successor. Supposedly, the main reason for this is Hasbro's desire to get out as much "Classic"-related product as possible, so the decision which line specific toys are released in seems arbitrary.
The main difference between Reveal the Shield and Generations, aside from the packaging, is the former's use of rubsigns (last seen in Classics), which reveal the character's true allegiance, much like the original Generation 1 toys.
