Triplechanger Astrotrain gets the Classics treatment with this new posable mode that changes from shuttle to bullet train to robot and back again!

ASTROTRAIN thrives on panic and fear. Though he is mainly used as a transport vehicle for moving warriors and supplies, he only truly feels at home pounding AUTOBOT® warriors into scrap metal. His ionic displacer rifle can scramble AUTOBOT sensors, causing confusion in the enemy ranks, and his huge bulk casts a terrifying shadow across a battlefield. Those AUTOBOTS® who survive a fight with ASTROTRAIN often need only hear the echoing boom of his engines in the distance to once again quake in fear.

Overall Score: 7.8

Bumblebee gets his first new toy in 20 years with this rendition in Transformers Classics!

Small compared to most other TRANSFORMERS, BUMBLEBEE more than makes up for through his incredible bravery and willingness to go places larger robots won’t. Capable of aerial and underwater missions, he is more versatile than many other AUTOBOTS. His eagerness to do his part leads him to above and beyond the call of duty, often placing him in grave danger. It is a testament to his skill that he has never been captured.

Bumblebee makes his second appearance in Transformers Classics as a Legends figure!

BUMBLEBEE the AUTOBOT spy!

The Clear Skies Team join the Autobot ranks as Transformers Classics Mini-Cons!

Although the members of the CLEAR SKIES TEAM are as different as any AUTOBOTS can be, THUNDERWING (jet), STEEL WIND (A-10), and NIGHTSCREAM, all love to soar through the clear clean skies of a living world.

Cliffjumper returns as a repaint of Classics Bumblebee to rule the road mini-bot style once again!

CLIFFJUMPER includes a WAVE CRUSHER and trailer that create a jet pack. This AUTOBOT is always ready for a fight.

Constructicon Devastator Giftset

The incredible power of the Constructicon Devastator is rooted in the combination of five Decepticon Transformer warriors. Bonecrusher is a chaotic madman who lives to destroy. Long Haul is a brooding genius with a talent for constructing vast energy collection engines. Hightower is a chemistry lab on wheels with a dark passion for poisons and explosives.

Scavenger has an instinct for detecting valuable fuels and minerals. Finally, there is Decepticon Scrapper, a quiet psycho whose first love is building monuments to his enemies out of their mangled chassis.

In the TRANSFORMERS lore, CONSTRUCTICON DEVASTATOR was one of the first experiments in mass intellect. When the individual robots combined, each robot’s brain patterns were also to combine and form a greater whole. BONECRUSHER, LONG HAUL, HIGHTOWER, SCAVENGER, and DECEPTICON SCRAPPER all compete for full control of CONSTRUCTICON DEVASTATOR’s giant body—creating a rampaging giant.

Classics get some more Mini-Con action with the Decepticon Demolition Team!

If it can be built, the DECEPTICON Demolition Team of WIDELOAD, SLEDGE and BROADSIDE can bring it down. Every member of the team is an expert engineer, specializing in weakening and destroying the foundation of any structure they encounter. Before any important battle, you'll find the Demolition Team on site, tunneling beneath enemy fortifications. Entire AUTOBOT cities have collapsed in a thunderous cloud of dust because of the work of these three.

Overall Score: 10

Mini-Cons get some love in Transformers Classics with this homage to the G1 Dinobots!

The DINOBOTS fight where others fear to go. Adventurers through and through, KNOCKDOWN, TERRORSAUR and SWOOP are more at home in the thickest, most poisonous jungles of the galaxy than they are in the comfortable machine cities of CYBERTRON. When a mission requires animal instincts, sure feet and a laser-proof hide, the DINOBOTS are the ones to call.

Overall Score: 10

The Dirt Digger team bring automotive power to the Decepticon ranks in the Classics universe!

The DIRT DIGGER TEAM includes OIL SLICK (muscle car), DIRT ROCKET (dirt bike) and GRINDOR (monster truck). Although styled as backwoods brawlers, these DECEPTICONS are actually deal in slinging mud of a different kind. They are spies who find secrets and spread false information to throw off the AUTOBOTS.

The Legends line continues in Transformers Classics with these mini-versions of favorite characters!

Me Grimlock King! G1 Grimlock gets an updated transformation while retaining his classic colors and feel in Transformers Classics!

GRIMLOCK keeps a collection of the parts he's torn off his DECEPTICON enemies. His super-thick ultramantium skin - in both robot and dinosaur mode - is coated in energy-absorbing materials, making him nearly impervious to damage. There are many who might say much the same thing about his mind. He is actually quite smart, but a programming flaw in his speech centers gives him only the most basic communications skills. He dislikes the weak, but is dedicated to the protection of those he views as lesser creatures. The only thing he hates more than weakness, in fact, is those who exploit the weak.

Jetfire gets his second Classics offering as this mini-jet Legends figure!

JETFIRE the AUTOBOT air guardian!

Overall Score: 10

A mixture of G1 Cartoon "Skyfire" and G1 Toy "Jetfire" - this toy bridges the 2 into a modern version of them both!

JETFIRE is a great scientist and explorer and is also among the mightiest and bravest of the AUTOBOTS.

LEO PRIME - The supreme commander from planet CYBERTRON!

Megatron returns to his roots with this updated gun mode!

MEGATRON is the most feared and powerful leader in the history of CYBERTRON™. His might is legendary, and his name is spoken only in whispers. He will stop at nothing in his drive to conquer the universe. So great is his will to power that even his own followers are little more to him than fuel for his war machine, and his enemies are less than the dust he grinds beneath his heel. He is always at the front of any DECEPTICON charge, soaring into the sky and vaporizing enemy positions with his anti-proton pulse cannon. The mere sight of his snarling face is enough to break the spirit of many an AUTOBOT®.

Overall Score: 8.0

Even though he may look like Motormaster, Menasor gets released as a Legends figure in Transformers Classics!

MENASOR the DECEPTICON super warrior!

Overall Score: 10

G1 Mirage gets redone with this modern age Formula-1 racecar, sporting his classic color scheme to boot!

Together with BUMBLEBEE (sold separately), MIRAGE completes the AUTOBOT spy team. Where BUMBLEBEE focuses on information however, MIRAGE prefers sabotage. Smart and fast, he's always ready with a joke, even when the situation doesn't call for one. Though he is not totally dedicated to the cause, he cares deeply for his friends, and will do anything he can to protect them. His specialized electro-disruptor weapon can create complex illusions, and even allows him to turn invisible.

The Night Rescue Team fills in the classics line with Mini-Con love!

The NIGHT RESCUE TEAM features STRONGARM, DIVEBOMB and FIREBOT—three young and brave AUTOBOTS fresh out of primary programming and too inexperienced to ever be afraid. When there are other robots in danger, and nothing will save them except a foolish charge into the dangerous and unknown, it's always the Night Rescue Team that gets called in. Their motto: “We bring light to the darkness”

Generation One is reborn as Transformers Classics! Optimus Prime returns to his roots in an outstanding toy with amazing articulation and posability. Is he the best Prime ever? Read on!

The greatest in a long line of AUTOBOT leaders, OPTIMUS PRIME is a beacon of hope to those who suffer under the tyranny of MEGATRON®. He is devoted to the defense of weaker creatures, and has dedicated his life to fighting against MEGATRON wherever he goes. He is unwavering in his compassion, which sometimes allows his enemies to take advantage of him, but he is also utterly without fear in the face of overwhelming odds. Where freedom is threatened, he is an unstoppable force, and a mighty defender of justice and right.

Overall Score: 9.6

A re-release of the 20th Anniversary (of Transformers) Optimus Prime, this edition gets a fancy new paint scheme, talking base, and Classics packaging to commemorate the 20th Anniversary of the original Transformers The Movie DVD release!

OPTIMUS PRIME and his AUTOBOTS® captured the hearts and minds of a generation. He marched at the head of an army of giants – mechanical protectors from beyond the stars whose only goal was the preservation of life and freedom for all creatures against the evil forces of the DECEPTICONS®. Twenty years ago, that battle against evil reached its greatest pitch, and OPTIMUS PRIME exemplified heroism and sacrifice in the animated adventure TRANSFORMERS: The Movie.

"I would've waited an eternity for this... it's over, Prime." The legendary rivalry between Optimus Prime of the Autobots and Megatron of the Decepticons bursts into action in the Transformers Battle Through Time gift set, featuring Optimus Prime, Megatron, and a bonus DVD!

Long before the dawn of man on Earth, the war between AUTOBOTS and DECEPTICONS raged. Two titans - huge metal warriors, each committed to total victory - emerged as leaders. OPTIMUS PRIME, wise, just and gentle despite having strength enough to move mountains took command of the AUTOBOT forces, hoping to lead his people to peace and freedom. MEGATRON, an evil, destructive tyrant bent on total domination of the universe and all its resources led his DECEPTICONS on an endless war of conquest. For millions of years, their battle has raged like fire across the galaxy, and now they are here on Earth in a fight to the finish that will determine the fate of the planet and all its people.

The seekers continue in Transformers Classics with this remolding of Starscream to feature the cone-head styling of Generation 1!

The DECEPTICONS are known for fielding their craziest warriors in the skies, but RAMJET really outclasses them all. He's a born flier who loves nothing more than crashing. Sure, he's got a whole rack of concussion missiles and argon lasers strong enough to vaporize a DINOBOT, but he'd rather skip all that nonsense and just smash head first in to his targets - and anything else that gets in his way. He's just as likely to smash his allies out of the way as he is to destroy any AUTOBOTS in his path, but watching him plow through a battlefield is so fun MEGATRON keeps him around anyway.

Overall Score: 9.6

Rodimus aka HOT ROD gets an upgrade with this super posable version right out of Transformers The Movie!

Young and bold, RODIMUS races headlong into danger, throwing caution – and his orders – to the wind. He dreams of heroic deeds and hopes one day to gain the recognition his actions deserve. Despite his inexperience, he is a talented fighter. In battle, he can often be seen racing at speeds up to 180 miles per hour, dodging explosions and laser blasts in an attempt to close on his objective.

The original Soundwave toy from the 1980s gets re-released exclusively by Toys R Us, this time coming with 2 of his original cassettes, Lazerbeak and Ravage in modern Transformers Classics packaging!

(back of box)

It's a world where things are not what they seem. It's a world of heroic Autobots and evil Decepticons who are known as THE TRANSFORMERS!


You hold in your hands a reproduction of one of the most popular Generation 1 TRANSFORMERS characters of all time. Identical to the original toy, this convertible action figure lets you reproduce all the action of the sinister SOUNDWAVE.


(inside pop-out portion)

"Cries and screams are music to my ears."

It is said Soundwave can hear a fly sneeze. Uses anything he hears for blackmail to advance his status. Opportunist. Despised by all other Decepticons. Sensors can detect even lowest energy radio transmissions. Able to read minds by monitoring electrical brain impulses. Acts as a radio link for others. Locates and identifies Autobots, then informs Decepticons. Carries a concussion blaster gun. Often target of retaliation by his comrades.

Overall Score: 9.6

Decepticon Starscream returns as a Classics seeker in original form and colors!

Ruthless, cold-blooded, and capable, STARSCREAM makes no secret of the fact that he wants to replace MEGATRON® as leader of the DECEPTICONS®. The fastest flyer among the DECEPTICONS ranks and one of the most dangerous warriors ever to grace the skies of CYBERTRON™, he is still something of a coward. He cares too much for his own skin to ever take the risks the overthrow of MEGATRON would require.

From a gigantic Dinosaur that turns into a city base, to a mini dragon, Trypticon makes his return in Transformers Classics Legends!
