Toys - Generation One (jan 1, 1984 – dec 31, 1990)
Description:
The first Transformers toys were created from two different transforming robot toylines from Takara, the Diaclone and Micro Change (Microman) series. Hasbro acquired the rights to sell them in the United States but, instead of selling them under their original names, they were rebranded as "The Transformers". The first two years consisted primarily of reusing the Diaclone/Micro Change molds. Some of the models from the Diaclone line still have the pilot's seat in their design. The earliest toys had some parts made of die-cast metal, which were eventually phased out.http://tfwiki.net/wiki/The_Transformers_(toyline)
