Transformers: Generations (toyline)

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

Generations is a line of Deluxe Class figures launched in 2010. Its ancestors are the 2006 Classics and 2008 Universe lines in that it, too, aims to recreate older Transformers characters as new toys and celebrate the history of the brand. Unlike Universe, there are no series or other indications on the toys' packaging regarding which continuity the characters hail from. This seems to follow Hasbro's recent trend of leaving as much of that kind of information as possible up to the imagination of the purchaser.

The range includes designs from the video game War for Cybertron with the ambiguous prefix "Cybertronian".

Early releases advertised for The Hub.

Notes

• Clicking "War For Cybertron Toys" on Hasbro's War For Cybertron webpage brings up the whole "Generations" toyline. Looking for War For Cybertron toys? Here you go.
• Since all the toys in the Generations toyline are Deluxe-sized, the Difficulty Level bar on the front packaging (which indicates how hard it is to convert a toy from mode to mode) now denotes each individual toy's challenge level (Cybertronian Bumblebee, for example, is a Level 4, while Thrust is a Level 2).
• The plastic-coated wire twist-ties, which were normally used to secure a toy in its packaging in past toylines, have been replaced with paper-based tie-downs. The paper tie-downs are also used in the 2010 Transformers toyline.
