Super7 is a toy manufacturer that creates action figures and merchandise of popular, typically '80s-nostalgia-driven brands. The properties that they cover include not only Transformers but also G.I. Joe, Star Wars, Disney, Alien, Power Rangers, Spongebob Squarepants, Peanuts, and basically everything else you'd see in the collectibles shelf at GameStop.

ReAction

ReAction toys are 3.75-inch "retro" action figures in the same vein as Kenner's Star Wars action figures of the late 1970s/early 1980s, with five points of articulation (swivel shoulders, legs, and neck). They even come on a similar style of cardback.

This series features a vast number of properties from across the media spectrum both nostalgic and new, indie comic-book characters, and even real-life athletes and musicians (and band-associated "characters"). Amusingly, this particular format did not get Star Wars. Hasbro got that one locked up tight and are making their own.

In 2020, Transformers joined the format with figures based on "Generation 1" characters, based heavily on the 80's animation models.

Super Cyborg

Billed on the packaging as the "X-Ray Action Figure", Super Cyborg is a line of roughly 12" tall action figures loosely inspired by Takara's Henshin Cyborg line. The main selling point of the figures is their removable chestplates, which allow you to see the elaborately sculpted and fully painted mechanical inner workings of the characters. Most characters also feature chestplates with transparent elements, allowing you to get a peak at some of the inner sculpting without removing the chestplate. Like ReAction, the Super Cyborg figures are rather limited in their articulation, featuring the same 5 points as their smaller brethren plus an additional two points at the figures' wrists.

    Transformers ULTIMATES!

    ULTIMATES! toys are basically the opposite of ReAction: highly-articulated 7-inch-tall action figures, based on numerous licensed nostalgia-toy properties, including He-Man, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Thundercats. The standard ULTIMATES! figure has multi-directional joints at the neck, shoulders, wrists, hips and ankles, plus swivels at the biceps, elbows, abs, waist and knees. All figures also have extra sets of hands in different poses, and some even have additional alternate heads, as well as numerous accessories. All figures are produced on a made-to-order basis.

    In 2021, Transformers joined the format with figures based on "Generation 1" characters, with styles both cartoon/comic-based and toy-based.

    Super Shogun

    A double-homage, the Super Shogun figures are meant to combine aspects of the 1980s Transformers with 1970s "Shogun Warriors" franchise. As such, the figures are 24" tall and made of hollow vinyl, with wheeled feet and spring-launching fists.
