Transformers: Generation 2 (European toyline)

Generation 2

In 1994, Hasbro UK and Hasbro International followed Hasbro's lead and released the Generation 2 line.

1994

The overwhelming bulk of this year's product was made up of repackaged re-releases of 1993 product from both the European and American toylines, the latter being "new" to most European markets, and newly-developed toys released concurrently with the American market.

This year's releases started the trend of the European toys having extremely condensed on-package bios, as some specs only had the figure's name, function and motto. Many quotes were changed from their previous releases as well.

Obliterators


Spark	Colossus

Repackaged re-releases of the 1993 "Generation 1" Obliterators, only with new character names for some reason we have yet to discern. Each massive vehicle's back end separates from the main robot portion and converts to a missile-launching battle platform.

Autobots

Spark (formerly "Pyro") — Carmichael Cobra airport crash truck

Decepticons

Colossus (formerly "Clench") — Long-nosed truck cab

Lightformers / Trakkons


Ironfist	Fearswoop

Repackaged re-releases of the 1993 "Generation 1" Lightformers and Trakkons. Each toy comes with a massive artillery platform usable in both modes. These platforms use a combination of light-piping and gears to simulate two beams of laser fire striking your target if you look through their targeting scopes (even though Fearswoop is the only one with a double-barreled blaster).

The Axelerators continue to use transparent-maroon plastic for their windshields and robot eyes, as opposed to the US versions' smoky-gray transparent plastic.
