Transformers EZ Collection - Master Galvatron (Magazine Edition)

The Transformers is a line of toys produced by the American toy company Hasbro. The Transformers toyline was originally created and produced by Japanese company Takara Tomy (Formerly Takara) and branded as Diaclones and Microman. In 1984, Hasbro bought the distribution rights to the Diaclone and Microman toylines and rebranded them as the Transformers for distribution in North America. Hasbro would go on to buy the entire toy line from Takara shortly after giving them sole ownership of the Transformers toy-line, branding rights, and copyrights, while in exchange, Takara was given the rights to produce the toys and the rights to distribute them in the Japanese market. The premise behind the Transformers toyline is that an individual toy's parts can be shifted about to change it from a vehicle, a device, or an animal, to a robot action figure and back again. The taglines "More Than Meets The Eye" and "Robots In Disguise" reflect this ability.

Transformers Generation One - Mega Pretender - Crossblades

Transformers are alien robots of a popular Hasbro toy line and its spin-offs.
Transformers: G1, includes both the animated television series The Transformers and the Marvel Comics comic-book series of the same name, which is further divided into Japanese and British spin-offs, respectively. Sequels followed, such as the Generation 2 comic book and Beast Wars TV series which became its own mini-universe. Generation 1 characters underwent two reboots with Dreamwave in 2002 and IDW Publishing in 2006. There have been other incarnations of the story based on different toy lines during the 2000s. The first was the Robots in Disguise series, followed by three shows that consist of the "Unicron Trilogy" (consisting of Armada, Energon, and Cybertron). A live-action film was also released in 2007 and a sequel has since been released in 2009, again distinct from previous incarnations, while the Transformers Animated series merged concepts from the G1 story-arc and the 2007 live-action film.

TransformerToys.co.uk has been updated with a new news story called Reminder that the Generation One Transformers cartoon is on UK TV every .

Transformers Collectors Edition - Six Builder - Crush-Bull

The first Transformers toys were created from the different transforming robot toylines from Takara, notably the Diaclone and Micro Change (Microman) series. Hasbro acquired the rights to sell them in the United States but, instead of selling them under their original names, they were rebranded as "The Transformers." The first two years consisted primarily of reusing the Diaclone/Micro Change molds. Some of the models from the Diaclone line still have the pilot's seat in their design. The tagline to the Transformers is, "More Than Meets The Eye!" The earliest toys had some parts made of die-cast metal, which were eventually phased out.

It is worth noting that the line was released as "The Transformers" in the USA, Canada and the UK in 1984 but Takara was still marketing Diaclone at least during 1984. Hence in Japan "The Transformers" did not debut under that brand till 1985, when the line was also rolled out to the majority of the rest of the world between Takara and Hasbro. Hasbro Europe still will not accept, however, that the range was released in the UK in 1984, not even with evidence such as Argos 1984 catalogues containing the range, the UK comic launching in September 1984 or even the 1984 Transformers product catalogue produced by "Hasbro Industries (UK) Ltd, Wokingham." It is thought that Hasbro Europe as it now stands did not come into existence till 1985, hence no records of Transformers sales in 1984. UK Transformers toys were sold in identical boxes to those of their American counterparts up until around 1998/9 when the range started to have UK exclusives

Transformers Micromaster - Sixwing - Falcon

Micromaster Collection was a small Transformers toyline released by Takara which ran from 2002 to 2003. It consisted entirely of reissues and redecos of the Micromaster six-combiner teams originally created for Return of Convoy and Operation Combination, plus the Multiforce from Victory. The time-and-space-bending story of the series, told through six short prose excerpts printed on the pack-in fliers which came with the toys, was set in the Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity, and placed its action in the early 1980s prior to the awakening of the Autobots and Decepticons aboard the Ark.

For fans, Micromaster Collection is probably second-best known for being the first time any of the individual components of the combiner forms were given bios with complete personality writeups, over a decade after their original releases. (It is likely best known, of course, for inexpensively reissuing toys whose original versions commanded high prices on the secondary market due to their relative obscurity.)

Sequels followed, such as the Generation 2 comic book and Beast Wars TV series which became its own mini-universe. Generation 1 characters underwent two reboots with Dreamwave in 2002 and IDW Publishing in 2006. There have been other incarnations of the story based on different toy lines during the 2000s. The first was the Robots in Disguise series, followed by three shows that consist of the "Unicron Trilogy" (consisting of Armada, Energon, and Cybertron). A live-action film was also released in 2007 and a sequel has since been released in 2009, again distinct from previous incarnations, while the Transformers Animated series merged concepts from the G1 story-arc and the 2007 live-action film.

Transformers Generation One - Hosehead with Lug

There have also been a number of spin-offs based on the toys including a Marvel comic book series, an animated television series program presented by Claster Television, a television production company that Hasbro organized for this and similar purposes, that began transmissions in 1984 (Transformers series) and a feature-length movie, The Transformers: The Movie. The original series program was followed by a number of spin-offs with varying levels of popularity. A live-action remake, directed by Michael Bay under the sponsorship of Steven Spielberg, premiered on June 12, 2007 and opened in the North America on July 2, 2007 at 8:00 PM. A sequel to the Live-Action movie, titled Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, was released in North America on June 24th of 2009.

Transformers Generation One - Scoop with Tracer and Holepunch

The first Transformers toys were created from the different transforming robot toylines from Takara, notably the Diaclone and Micro Change (Microman) series. Hasbro acquired the rights to sell them in the United States but, instead of selling them under their original names, they were rebranded as "The Transformers." The first two years consisted primarily of reusing the Diaclone/Micro Change molds. Some of the models from the Diaclone line still have the pilot's seat in their design. The tagline to the Transformers is, "More Than Meets The Eye!" The earliest toys had some parts made of die-cast metal, which were eventually phased out.

It is worth noting that the line was released as "The Transformers" in the USA, Canada and the UK in 1984 but Takara was still marketing Diaclone at least during 1984. Hence in Japan "The Transformers" did not debut under that brand till 1985, when the line was also rolled out to the majority of the rest of the world between Takara and Hasbro. Hasbro Europe still will not accept, however, that the range was released in the UK in 1984, not even with evidence such as Argos 1984 catalogues containing the range, the UK comic launching in September 1984 or even the 1984 Transformers product catalogue produced by "Hasbro Industries (UK) Ltd, Wokingham." It is thought that Hasbro Europe as it now stands did not come into existence till 1985, hence no records of Transformers sales in 1984. UK Transformers toys were sold in identical boxes to those of their American counterparts up until around 1998/9 when the range started to have UK exclusives

Transformers Car Robots - Build Hurricane

The Transformers is a line of toys produced by the American toy company Hasbro. The Transformers toyline was originally created and produced by Japanese company Takara Tomy (Formerly Takara) and branded as Diaclones and Microman. In 1984, Hasbro bought the distribution rights to the Diaclone and Microman toylines and rebranded them as the Transformers for distribution in North America. Hasbro would go on to buy the entire toy line from Takara shortly after giving them sole ownership of the Transformers toy-line, branding rights, and copyrights, while in exchange, Takara was given the rights to produce the toys and the rights to distribute them in the Japanese market. The premise behind the Transformers toyline is that an individual toy's parts can be shifted about to change it from a vehicle, a device, or an animal, to a robot action figure and back again. The taglines "More Than Meets The Eye" and "Robots In Disguise" reflect this ability.

TransformerToys.co.uk has been updated with a new news story called Images of Freeway Jaz.

Chinese fansite, The-Arker, has posted some new images of Electrostatic Soundwave and Freeway Jazz in packaging.  The images also include their bio\'s which read as:

Electrostatic Soundwave
After a couple of years working alongside Laserbeak, Soundwave realized it was time for a change. His new partner, Ratbat, lets him lay down multiple tracks of sound at a time, creating frequencies that can do more than just control other robots. Now, Soundwave is into straight-up mind control. Using complex synch beats he can make people - and even the Autobots - do whatever he wants.

Freeway Jazz
With Decepticon activity at its peak near the galaxy rim, rumors begin to circulate that Earth may be getting more evil visitors as well. In anticipation of incoming Decepticons, Autobot Jazz goes undercover, inmersing himself in Earth culture where he hides in plain site. He can enjoy the sights and sound of Earth while planning the perfect moment to strike.

Uber rare 1941 iss

TransformerToys.co.uk has been updated with a new news story called Uber rare 1941 iss.

­­Though not Transformers related what-so-e­ver we thought this ebay auction was too cool not to share with everyone (considering many people reading this website will be fans of Marvel comics).  The auction is for a near perfect copy of Captain American Issue 2 from 1941­­ and is considered one of the rarest comics to find, especially in the condition that the seller has it.

Here is the information regarding the comic. \"The story behind this book is almost as unlikely as the book itself. It began with a late night phone call with the gracious and friendly seller of a small group of 80 original owner comics in Litchfield County, Connecticut. The young man was selling the books for his uncle, who purchased all of them on the newsstand in the same general area. Sitting untouched, unbagged, and unboarded for almost 70 years this freak of nature somehow managed to survive in Newsstand fresh shape for decades!!\"

The auction has to be seen to be believed, if nothing else just to see how much it finally sells for.  Currently its selling at over $55,000!

Hasbro to open a Russian Office

TransformerToys.co.uk has been updated with a new news story called Hasbro to open a Russian Office.

ToysNews, the UK toy news magazine, is reporting that Hasbro has opened an office in Russia with hopes that it will lead to a growing market for them.

Hasbro is targeting the Eastern European market with the opening of an office in Russia.

The firm has opened a Moscow office in order to improve brand awareness and distribution in its fastest-growing market in Eastern Europe.

\"Russia is the most attractive market for us... definitely we are coming here to increase our market share,\" Tomasz Micek, Hasbro\'s Russian head, said.

It estimates it has a three percent share of Russia\'s $1.5 billion toy market where it currently sells toys via two distributors.

It has run 12 television commercials this spring in Russia and plans another 20 by the end of the year, according to Micek.

Besides television, the company also plans to push magazine and Internet promotions.

\"The good thing about the toy and game business is that it does not tend to be as bumpy as the economy. It seems that parents want to continue to spend money on their children. I\'d rather be in my business than in cars, or houses, and that\'s where the swings are very very big,\" said John Harper, Hasbro\'s general manager for Europe.
