Transformers G1 was the 1st Transformers toy brand that produced from 1984 to 1991 and also lasted longer than the G1 eighties television series itself. The series was originally just known as The Transformers before relaunch in 1993 was titled Transformers: G2, then lovers applied the name Generation 1 (later made standard by Hasbro) like a method of separating the different Transformers eras. Usually the term "The" is omitted from the brand.
The line was created the moment when Hasbro representatives visited the 1983 TTS looking for potential toy characters that they could import to the North America industry. During the time, Takara was showcasing several transforming bots model lines, most particularly the Diaclone, Micro Modify and Mecha series. Hasbro bought the legal rights to create the toys, but decided to launcht hem under a single brand to stop difficult the market with a number of series with the same design.
Prior to the Hasbro deal, Takara quickly sold Diaclone toy characters in specialty toy shops in the United States under the "Diakron" moniker, during some parts of Europe, Diaclone loved a small following having a comic book collection for that market.
Hasbro had a business model with Marvel Comics, which had effectively produced the Hasbro tie-in comic book G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero, in line with the Hasbro action figure. Marvel was approached once more to provide a backstory for the fresh toy brand. Marvel editor-in-chief Jim Shooter and writer Dennis O'Neil produced an overall story, and editor Bob Budiansky was brought in to create titles and information for the heroes.
When the model series was released, it was based on the Marvel Comics line, an animated television series, and a gamut of other selling tie-ins. In 1986 a feature motion picture premiered, bringing $5,706,456 in the United states of america.
