Transformers United

Transformers: Generations is a 2010 toy line by Hasbro. Much like the preceding Universe toy line, Generations covers different eras of Transformers; here, the toys are based upon characters from Generation 1 and the video game Transformers: War for Cybertron, as well as the Transformers comics by IDW Publishing. The figures consist of new molds as well as redecos of ones originally used in the Classics and Universe lines. These Deluxe Class figures stand at about 5.5 to 6 inches tall and feature intermediate to moderate transformation levels.

The first wave of figures was released in July 2010. At the 2010 Cybertron Con in Shanghai, China, photos of upcoming figures set for release in Spring 2011 were unveiled.

The Generations line will continue from 2012 to 2013, which will include figures based on characters from the Transformers: Fall of Cybertron game. In addition, newer figures are released exclusively for the Asian market. These specific figures are known to collectors as "GDO" (Global Development Organization).

Transformers: Titans Return is a part of the Generations toy line that involves transforming action figures that are either Headmasters or Titanmasters (Headmasters that form the heads of titans) or just regular Metrotitans. The Headmasters are usually about 4-6 inches tall, while the Titanmasters are about 20-22 inches tall, same with the regular Titans. Voyager Class figures have spring loaded "horns" to make the head seem bigger, while Leader Class figures have helmets for the Titan Master to sit in. All Leader Class figures (apart from Six Shot) are Triple-Changers. Some Legends Class figures feature compartments to allow Titan Masters to sit in them when in their alternate modes, while other are Triple-Changing "Spy Tablets" that fit inside the chest compartments of Leader Class Blaster and Leader Class Soundwave.

Transformers: Reveal the Shield is a 2010-2011 expansion of the Generations line that also includes figures from or inspired by the live-action film series. The sub-line gets its name from the heat-activated silver sticker on each figure that reveals an Autobot or Decepticon insignia when rubbed. Over half of the Scout Class figures were canceled before production.
