Originally released in 1991-92, the Micromaster Combiners were teams of six Micromasters who could combine into one larger robot!

Reissues of old Transformers toys in the early 2000s were cool, but these redecos that came out around the same time were even cooler!

The "Super Collection Figure" (SCF) series were two inch tall PVC figures depicting characters from the various eras of Transformers history.

Happy 40th birthday, Transformers! On this day in 1984, Marvel's Transformers #1 arrived in comic book stores everywhere, kicking off the franchise we know and love!

The Aquaspeeders and Stormtroopers - robots who spray water at each other and have colour-change "battle damage".

Released as a part of Transformers Generation 2, these Autobot cars and Decepticon jets are an awesome throwback to the original 1984 Transformers lineup.

The Lightformers and Trakkons: cool toys with a "laser fire" gimmick.

The Obliterators, Clench & Pyro
Their gimmick? Missiles, and lots of them!

1992 Transformers Predators: Another very cool "back to basics" assortment. I'm hopeful that Hasbro will revisit these guys with full articulation one day.

After years of assorted gimmicks, the Turbomasters were a return to form: they transform and they have missile launchers. Nothing more - no crazy gimmicks or anything like that. It's refreshing!

As Transformers began to wane in Japan, Takara decided to bring back Optimus Prime (Convoy) as a Micromaster-compatible playset.

Transformers remained popular internationally in 1991, leading to some Takara toys (including Masterforce Overlord!) being imported to fill out the line.

Introducing 1991's Action Master Elites, Action Masters that transform!

The final assortment of Action Master Transformers, only sold in a few international markets in 1991.
Arguably these are the best Action Master toys, too.

In the early 1990s, Transformers continued to be popular overseas, leading to the first reissues of the original toys.

1990: Japan does what Hasbro should have with Micromasters: make bases that turn into big robots!

Dear Hasbro, can we get new versions of a few more of these guys please?

Action Master Megatron brings back Transformers' original villain in a gigantic tank that can only be described as something Megatron would certainly drive.

There's something surreal about seeing an action figure of a robot who (usually) turns into a truck driving a truck, don't you agree?
