Transformers: The Japanese continuation of the original series

Covers the continuing Transformers storyline in Japan after the first three seasons and movie of the original Transformers animated series.

Transformers: The Headmasters

Throughout space the Cybertrons (Autobots) and Destrons (Decepticons) continue their eons-long war. Among the new recruits are the Headmasters, Targetmasters, and new leaders.

Transformers: Chohjin (Super God) Masterforce

Years later on Earth the Cybertron and Destron Pretenders are joined by more Headmasters and then the all-powerful Godmasters (Powermasters).

Transformers: Victory

In this continuation Deszaras' Destrons plot and battle Star Saber and his Cybertrons on Earth and in space as they collect energy to revive their deadly weapon.

Transformers: Zone

Dai Atlas takes over from Victory Saber as Violenjiger and the Destron veterans fight a losing war against the Powered Masters and Micro Transformers.

Transformers: The Battlestars - The Return of Convoy

It's Megatron versus Convoy (Optimus Prime) again as Super Megatron and Star Convoy in their final fight to the finish.

Transformers: Operation Combination

Meanwhile, Battle Gaea (recolored Bruticus) and the Predators face off against Guard City (recolored Defensor), the Turbomasters, and the six-combiners.

If you have ever wondered how the Decepticons were defeated eventually by the Autobots and how the Transformers could have ended up as described in the Beast Wars series, this is one possible official storyline.

For an exhaustive listing of Transformers released in Japan by Takara since 1985, check my compilation.

Transformers: Generation 2

Jose Negron's site covers various aspects of this intermediate Transformers series, including the Japanese manga and the UK and US G2 comics.

The Brave Series

Covers some figures from the various Brave series, a line of intermediate Japanese transformer shows between the original Japanese Transformers and Beast Wars. This page currently has pictures of White Dragon / Goryu (recolored Dai Atlas) and Dug-Base (recolored and remolded Grandus).

Transformers: The Beast Wars

Covers the Beast Transformers series, most set long after and before the events of the original American and Japanese Transformers series.

Transformers: Beast Wars

Tumbling through time and space, Optimus Primal's Maximals and Megatron's Predacons arrive on a world where things aren't what they seem. Its story continues in the next series, Beast Machines.

Transformers: Beast Wars II

On a different world, Lio Convoy's Cybertrons and Galvatron's Destrons wage their own battles, overseen by a pair of off-world sentries. This Transformers series aired in Japan along with the Japanese translation of the Beast Wars series.

Transformers: Beast Wars Neo

The continuation of Japan's Beast Wars II, Beast Wars Neo features Big Convoy's Cybertrons, Magmatron's Destrons, the Blentrons, and the return of an ancient enemy.

Transformers: Beast Wars Metals

This continuation of the Japanese Beast Wars series completes the Japanese translation of the remaining two seasons of the American Beast Wars series.

Transformers: Beast Machines (Beast Wars Returns)

Continuing from Beast Wars, the Maximals are back on Cybertron, but things there aren't what they should be. This series was aired in Japan much later along with Transformers: Galaxy Force.

Transformers: Robots In Disguise

Covers the return to mechanical Transformers.

Transformers: Car Robots

The Cybertrons under Super Fire Convoy's command face off against Gigatron's Destrongers and Anti-Cybertrons on Earth. It premiered in the year 2000. However, this may be an alternate timeline from the primary ones used by Generation One.

Transformers: Robots In Disguise

An English version of Transformers: Car Robots which premiered in fall 2001. This begins several series in which Takara first sells their Transformers and broadcasts its show, and Hasbro releases them later with some modifications and additional ones along with an English translation of the show.




Transformers: Armada (Micron Legend)

Leading the Autobots on Earth, Optimus Prime battles it out against Megatron and the Decepticons over the Mini-cons, who can give the larger Transformers new powers. In Japan the series actually is called "Micron Densetsu (Micron Legend)".

Transformers: Energon (Super Link)

Continuing from Transformers: Armada (Micron Legend), the Powerlinx-enabled Autobots face souped-up Decepticons allied with their legendary foe.

Transformers: Cybertron (Galaxy Force)

In this alternate timeline for Transformers: Armada (Micron Legend) and Transformers: Energon (Super Link), but also a sequel, the Autobots fight the Decepticons across the galaxy for the four Keys to the Omega Lock to save Cybertron from the black hole left behind by Unicron. Those Keys and Omega Lock unleash the ancient creator of the Transformers. This series completes "The Unicron Trilogy" started with Transformers: Armada (Micro Legend).




Transformers: Classic

Starting in fall 2006, this series largely revisits Generation 1 and a few other series with some new ideas and current technology until the new Transformers live-action movie to be released starting on July 4, 2007. The series' name, also known as Classics, isn't as obvious as others', so people could be mistaken into thinking it's "Robots In Disguise". 8)

Transformers Movie - 2007

In an alternate timeline from the others, the Autobots and Decepticons follow Bumblebee and Megatron to Earth in search of the powerful AllSpark in the early 21st century. This is the second Transformers movie ever, this time with live-action CGI.

Transformers Sublines

Various other Transformers series become rerelease lines, retcons, and/or additions to the Transformers primary timeline / toyline. The pages will contain my pictures of a few of my figures that I choose to pick up.

Transformers: Generation One

The ongoing return of Generation 1 (and 2) Transformers since 2000 on a much larger scale than Generation 2. This includes the Transformers Collections and Commemorative Series, Super Collection Figures (SCF) and Heroes of Cybertron, Micromasters, and World's Smallest Transformers.

Transformers: Beast Wars 10th Anniversary and Beast Wars Reborn

It is the return of Beast Wars Transformers.

Transformers: Universe

The ultimate cataclysmic battle in the Transformers war between Unicron and Optimus Primal. This vaguely semi-serious series allows Hasbro to rerelease various fairly recent Transformers as recolors, but has largely petered out by mid-2006.

Transformers: Titanium Series

Starting in mid-2006 for Transformers after having being used for Star Wars, this series by Hasbro features largely diecast versions of various Transformers across multiple sources, including 3" statues and 6" transformable figures, from Generation 1 to Beast Wars back to The War Within.

Transformers: Robot Masters

Attempting to modify history again, and to search for Solutrium energy, Beast Wars Megatron leads a combined force of bestial and mechanical Destrons from somewhere, some time, into the time period long before Transformers: The Movie. The Cybertrons rally with a similar force, led by an initial leader lineup of Generation One Convoy and Beast Wars Convoy. This Japanese line has largely ended by the end of 2005.

Transformers: Binaltech, Binaltech Asterisk, and Kiss Players (Alternators), and Masterpiece

Originating in Japan and first released in the fall of 2003, this lineup of series attempts to fill in more of the timeline between Transformers season 2 and Transformers: The Movie, with some changes to bring various other series together.

As their eons-long war begin to shift back to their home planet, the Destrons unleash an advanced version of cosmic rust upon the remaining Cybertrons on Earth. To save them, the EDC (Earth Defense Command) merge their technology with theirs, creating hybrids known as Binaltech (Alternators).

Binaltech Asterisk and Kiss Players take this further by partnering girls with the Cybertrons, leading to something resembling Masterforce, with girls taking on their robotic partners' form in the latter series. Generation 2 and Machine Wars very well may involve the eventual restoration of those Transformers to their original forms, with others getting upgrades.

Meanwhile, Masterpiece literally manifests Takara's intensive efforts to create ultimate versions of some Transformers, on the same level as the Binaltech-related series.

Videos

Here you can find video captures I've taken over time in AVI format. They are all from the Headmasters, Masterforce, Victory, and Zone series. The latter two series' archive of episodes are complete! I recommend using GetRight or a similar program to help download those video files, and a broadband Internet connection such as cable, DSL, satellite, or T1 to reduce download wait time.

Inserts

Here you can find some donated scans and scans I've taken of the catalogs, instruction sheets, sticker sheets, and mail-order forms found in Transformers packaging.

Miscellaneous Transformers-related items

Here you can find links to projects such as the transformable Transformer models that I made and still have, Transformers fanfics, and an old Transformers Winamp skin.
