These new figures would build the foundation of the Transformers world for all future storylines and adventures. For the the Decepticons, we also got some pretty major characters, such as Soundwave, Starscream, Thundercracker, Skywarp, and the master of mayhem himself, Megatron. The Autobots got all of their initial main characters to include heavy hitters such as Bumblee, Ironhide, Jazz, Wheeljack and of course, the main robot himself, Optimus Prime. Each sub-set was based on a specific team, whether it be the heroic Autobots or evil Decepticons. The first premier wave of the Transformers line, gave us several new figures that were spun across six different sub-sets.

The animated series ushered in an unprecedented wave of popularity for Optimus Prime, Megatron and friends. This show promoted the characters of the world of Transformers in a way the toys could never do on their own. The Transformers animated television show first episode aired on Septemand ran for 98 episodes until 1987. The success of the comics led to the biggest Transformers promotion of all….the animated series. The toy line was released in 1984 and became an instant smash hit! The toy line was such a success, that Marvel Comics jumped on the bandwagon to create a new Comic Book Series that also debuted in 1984, and would run until 1990 after 80 issues. Hasbro, realizing the massive potential of this toy line, quickly jumped on the North American toy licensing rights to this line and went into production of a slightly revamped Diaclone line simply called, the Transformers. In 1982, Takara combined the robots and vehicles into what we now know as Transformers. Each of the vehicles were controlled by a miniature pilot called Micro Man. A toy company called Takara had been making transforming robots and vehicles since 1980 under the Diaclone line. It was quickly becoming a huge global success, but Hasbro still wanted more and ended up going across the planet to get it. In 1984, Hasbro Toys was beginning to gain a real foothold in the action figure market with their newly revamped GI Joe 3.75 inch line. 1993 – 1995 Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.Battlestar Galactica – Majestic Studios.
