Hero Mashers

Has science gone too far... or not far enough???

Hero Mashers is a toyline of non-transforming action figures which can be easily disassembled, with the user being encouraged to mix and match parts to create a "Mash-Up" character. Its character designs draw inspiration from a variety of franchises, including Generation 1, Animated, Prime, Age of Extinction, Robots in Disguise (2015) and even Shattered Glass! The line is part of a Hasbro multi-property brand that also includes Star Wars and Jurassic World figures (also under the name Hero Mashers) and Marvel Comics characters (sold as Super Hero Mashers). The Transformers line of Hero Mashers debuted exclusively at Toys"R"Us in June 2014, with a subsequent wider release in August.

Action Figures are the line's basic assortment, including a figure and one or two simple weapon accessories. Waves 1 and 2 featured mostly Generation 1 characters, while waves 3 and 4 focused solely on Robots in Disguise characters.

Waves 3 and 4 were originally only available at retail in Canada, Australia and Europe. Wave 3 eventually saw release in the US through Marshalls and TJ Maxx stores during the 2015 holiday season. Wave 4... did not.

Multi-packs

• Bumblebee & Strafe Team Pack

Notes

• Perhaps due to cost cutting measures, none of the robot mode Hero Mashers had ankle articulation after the first wave of product.
• Transformers Hero Mashers packages prior to the Robots in Disguise-based figures bear the Beast Hunters logo on their back, even though the figures resemble characters from other continuities.
• Had the Transformers portion of the Hero Mashers line not been canceled, it would have continued with more Robots in Disguise-based figures such as Quillfire, Thunderhoof, Fracture, Bisk, Jazz and Drift, all of which were found listed at Amazon complete with assigned Hasbro product code numbers and UPC barcodes (but sadly without images).
