Generation 1 reissues

Many of the original Generation 1 Transformers toys have been reissued several times.

• Classics — A Hasbro European-market line of old-toy re-releases from 1990 and 1991.
• Collector's Edition — A 2001 Takara line-up of reissues made available as store and convention exclusives, mostly sold as sets, later supplemented with redecos of the Transformers Collection line (below).
• The Transformers Collection — The 2003–2006 Takara series of "bookbox"-style reissues.
  • This is also the line mainly associated with redecos of reissued toys made available through the Takara-affiliated e-HOBBY online store as part of the "Collector's Edition" line, though e-HOBBY have also carried redecos of toys from other lines, reissues and otherwise.
• Generation One Commemorative Series — The 2002–2005 Hasbro US-market, originally Toys"R"Us exclusive series of reissued toys that was similar to the Transformers Collection releases. Some tail-end releases were made available through other venues after Toys"R"Us had decided to discontinue the line.
• Transformers Encore — The 2007–present TakaraTomy series of classic-style reissues. Includes some figures never before re-released (and some never before released by Takara at all), such as Omega Supreme, Metroplex and Sky Lynx.
• A few assorted toys have also been reissued by Hasbro as store or convention exclusives as part of their 2006–2007 Classics and 2008–2009 Universe lines.
