Transformers Collaborative
Transformers Collaborative is a subline of the Generations franchise that began in 2019, intended to incorporate properties originating outside of the Transformers brand, not unlike the Crossovers franchise (2008–2011) before it.
Unlike its predecessor, some Collaborative toys feature tie-in crossover comics published by IDW Publishing.

Gigawatt was released in two separate versions: a Walmart-exclusive numbered edition was put up for preorder on July 2, 2020 with added graphics on the box identifying the figure as one of a limited run of 1,985. A standard non-numbered version was made available through Hasbro Pulse and other "select retailers" on October 1. In July, TakaraTomy announced that they would be releasing Gigawatt as well, making it the first Collaborative product to be released in Japan. Gigawatt was later released in Italy initially as a Gamestop-exclusive and then on Amazon starting from January 2021. On September 27, 2021, Gigawatt was sold as a Mighty Ape-exclusive in New Zealand. It was also available on Hasbro Pulse in the United Kingdom.

Notes
- Many of the toys released under the Collaborative banner had "Project" code-names with varying degrees of bizarreness:
{{ #if: {{#ifexpr: 3 }}
|
|
- Ectotron: "Project Mullet"
- Gigawatt: "Project Future"
- Maverick: "Project [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Tom Cruise|{{#if:Cruise|Cruise|Tom Cruise}}]]"
- Ultimate X-Spanse: "Project [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Blackbird (comics)|{{#if:Bird|Bird|Blackbird (comics)}}]]"
- Tyrannocon Rex/JP93: "Project Park"
- J. Balvintron/Energia Buzzsaw & Vibras Stripes: "Project Jam"
- Draculus: "Project Bat"

- As of 2021, only the second Ectotron, the Ultimate X-Spanse and Gigawatt figures have been released in New Zealand. The former two were available both through Toyworld and Mighty Ape, while the latter was only available through Toyworld.
