Stratosphere (Transformers)


Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is a film which has an associated toy line released in 2009 by Hasbro (Takara Tomy in Japan). The film, and thus the toy line, is based on the original Transformers media franchise. Releases in this toy line ran from May 2009 to early 2010. The 2007 toy line proved to be a retail hit, selling even 18 months after the first film was released.

Pictures of the first Revenge of the Fallen toys started to appear in on the internet in late 2008. Hasbro files for a trademark on the name "Revenge of the Fallen" as a toy line in May 2008.

The toy line continued on mid-2010 simply as Transformers (also known as Hunt for the Decepticons).

MechAlive is a feature available on selected Deluxe, Voyager and Leader Class figures, as well as Combiner Class Constructicon Devastator. Characteristics of this feature include visible moving gears in the character's body and parts that move independently during transformation and/or when certain limbs or body parts are moved.

Legends Class (sold in Japan as EZ Collection) figures are smaller (about 3 inches tall) versions of the film franchise's characters. The Constructicons in this line are capable of not only transforming into robots, but also able to combine into Devastator. All figures are new molds except where indicated.

The Constructicons listed here are available individually only in the Japanese market. All other markets have them sold in the Constructicon Devastator gift pack (see Multi-Packs).

Scout Class toys are small-sized (about 4.5 inches tall) figures; many with simple transformation.

Deluxe Class figures (about 5.5 to 6 inches tall) comprise the bulk of the film's toy line. Many of these figures feature MechAlive technology. The Deluxe class Revenge of the Fallen toys were named one of the top 100 toys for under $10 in the 2009 holiday season by Walmart. There were a total of 45 Deluxe Class characters in the line, although it is uncertain if this number includes Bludgeon, Onslaught and Silverbolt, who are packaged in larger sets.

Voyager Class figures are larger (about 8 inches tall) and more detailed than the Deluxe Class toys. Like most Deluxe Class figures, Voyager Class figures feature MechAlive technologies. The Voyager Class Revenge of the Fallen toys were chose by the Sun to as one of the top 12 Christmas toys of 2009.
