Transformers Generations (series)

The name or term "Generations" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Generations (disambiguation).

Transformers Generations (トランスフォーマー ジェネレーション) is a series of yearly guidebooks detailing and chronicling the Transformers franchise, especially as it pertains to Japan. While they are, unsurprisingly, primarily concerned with acting as a catalog of the year's product, they also function as the primary regular source of interviews with TakaraTomy design team and other behind the scenes tidbits from the Japanese side of the brand.
