Transformers Encore
From MediaWiki
Transformers Encore is the latest series of Generation One reissues to be released from Takara. The toys are packaged similarly to their G1-styled boxes, and the toys themselves are very close to the original releases. Nine (incl. Laserbeak) figures have been released so far, with nine (counting Mini-bots individually) in the wings.

After the book release on December 4, 2007, purchasers could mail in a ticket from the book and purchase either one (5200yen) or two (10,000 yen) of the item.

| 6 | Ironhide | December, 2007 |
| Additional figure: E-Hobby released a New Year Special Exclusive: "Black Protect Ironhide", which was available in April 2008. The text on e-Hobby's page for the toy indicates the black coloration is meant to homage Ironhide's original Diaclone version, but between the release of Emergency Green Ratchet and a hint in Ironhide's new bio, it's easy to see this is also an homage to the new Movie Ironhide. The packaging will be the same as the regular TF Encore Ironhide's. See the article on Ironhide for additional info. | ||
