Transformers: The Headmasters (toyline)

| |||||||||||||||
The Transformers: The Headmasters (トランスフォーマー ザ★ヘッドマースターズ) toyline was introduced in Japan in 1987 as a continuation of the main Generation 1 toyline. Its lineup included not only most of the same toys released by Hasbro in the West that year, but also a variety of Japanese-exclusive toys, including Soundblaster and Twincast (redecoed and retooled versions of Soundwave and Blaster, respectively), Stepper, Artfire, the Trainbots, the Autobot Master Warriors, and the W Cassettebots.
The Headmasters toyline also included the Beastformers subline, which Hasbro marketed in the West as the completely separate property Battle Beasts.

Beastformers
Though Beastformers would eventually split off into its own tangentially-connected toyline, the initial set of 28 toys was sold under the Transformers banner in similarly-designed boxes, with Autobot/Decepticon rubsigns. Though not technically branded under the The Headmasters label, we're putting them here for convenience's sake since they were advertized in the Headmasters pack-in catalogs.
