Super Collection Figure or "SCF" is a series of non-transformable PVC figures that closely resemble characters from the various Transformers TV series. They were later released in the United States as Heroes of Cybertron.

SCF

Standard SCF figures were a mighty three inches tall, included a clear plastic stand, and were sold blind-packed in a case of twelve. There were ten waves or "Acts" released in Japan starting in late 2000. The first eight Acts featured characters from the Generation 1 continuity, whereas Acts Nine & Ten were based solely on Legends of the Microns characters.

Chase figures were found randomly dispersed in each wave. Some were repaints of existing figures, but many were new or retooled molds. From Act Three through Act Eight, pieces to construct larger-scale characters replaced the normal-sized chase figures. Additionally, there were exclusive figures available only at conventions, and one Lucky Draw prize that may or may not have ever seen actual release.

Each figure (including the larger chase constructs) was available in both the character's original animation colors as well as a second deco. In Acts One through Three this was clear plastic; Acts Four through Ten featured a metallic "pewter" finish.

Mega SCF

Mega SCF figures were five-inch versions of popular Transformers characters, seemingly inspired by Bandai's concurrent line of Mobile Suits in Action Gundam action figures. Each came with an assortment of accessories, alternately posed hands, and were more poseable than their three-inch counterparts. Like the smaller SCFs, the figures were initially based on characters from the original Transformers series, while later figures were characters from Legends of the Microns.

Of note is the hilarious engrish version of "More Than Meets the Eye" seen on the packaging of these figures.
