Target is a major U.S. retailer. They have had a lot of Transformers exclusives over the years. They briefly had a Canadian subsidiary between 2013 and 2015, which carried some of those exclusives figures during that time as well.

There is also an Australian Target store chain that has officially no connection to the US Target company except the name. Target Australia has also carried many Transformers toys as exclusives as far as the Australian market was concerned.

List of Target exclusive toys

This list only refers to the United States market. Over the years, a lot of toys that were exclusive to Target stores in the USA were available at Zellers stores in Canada, and as mass retail releases in other places such as Australia or Europe.

Notes

  • Target teamed with Hasbro to promote the toyline for the live-action Transformers movie in its stores, working more closely with the company than perhaps any other retailer in the brand's history. Side effects of this included the Robo-Vision promotion, the transforming Optimus Prime Target gift card, and Target donating a gift pack (containing a free $5 gift card and comic) to every pre-registered attendee of BotCon 2007.
  • Luckily for Canadian Transformers fans, a lot of Target exclusive toys tended to be available either at general retail in Canada, or at Zellers. In 2013, many former Zellers stores were taken over by Target's newly formed Canadian subsidiary, which meant that instead of Zellers, Target was now selling its own exclusives in Canada. Following Target's withdrawal from the Canadian market in 2015, those few figures that were Target exclusives in the United States now ended up either as Walmart or Toys"R"Us exclusives in Canada.
  • Tania Gunadi, the voice of Miko Nakadai in Transformers: Prime, has recently done a Target Commercial where she's an elementary school teacher.
