Transformers: Generation 2 (franchise)
From MediaWiki
Generation 2 was the first of many rebirths for the Transformers brand. Although the original Transformers franchise had never stopped producing toys in Japan or Europe, the North American line had completely disappeared for nearly two years when G2 launched in 1993.
The G2 franchise featured the following primary components:
Although the G2 cartoon was merely a set of repackaged G1 cartoon episodes (featuring the flashy, computer-animated Cybernet Space Cube), the G2 comic book was a direct continuation of the story from the G1 comic which had ended at issue 80.
The Japanese version of Generation 2 followed the animated continuity rather than the comic book continuity. The Japanese G2 storyline was told through a combination of:
- Story pages published in TV Magazine
- Mini-comics packaged with the toys
- A manga special, "The Earth is in Danger", published in Comics Bom Bom
