Tiny Turbo Changers
Our faces will disturb-o!
Tiny Turbo Changers is a line of blind-bagged, transforming vinyl figures. The assortment originally began as part of the toyline for The Last Knight in 2017, the smallest of several easy-to-transform "Turbo Changer" pricepoints, and featured characters pulled from throughout the entire live-action film series. The Tiny Turbo Changers would subsequently outlive the toyline that spawned them, continuing into 2018 under the more general Movie Edition label, co-branded as Generations. While the movie-inspired assortment eventually ended after five series, the line was then relaunched under the Cyberverse franchise.
Long-time Takara designer Kōjin Ōno contributed to the line, which is Hasbro's first venture into transforming blind-bag vinyls, with previous efforts like Tiny Titans having simply been static figurines. It reportedly took almost a year to develop the concept to their satisfaction, with special focus given to incorporating a variety of transformation schemes. The vinyl construction of the figures also allowed these transformations to work in ways not possible with the hard ABS plastic of larger Transformers toys.
Despite them ostensibly being blind-bagged, it's possible to tell which figure you're getting thanks to a small clear window and embossed letter code on the reverse of the package.
