Transformers – 1987

Transformers – 1987


The fourth wave of Transformers, gave us a ton of new figures, spun across twelve different sub-sets based on either the heroic Autobots or evil Decepticons. Hasbro introduced two new series called Headmasters and Targetmasters, where the pilot merged with the vehicle to create a robot form. We also got two massive playsets with Scorponok and Fortress Maximus (the largest G1 Transformer ever created). Unfortunately, the Transformers animated series did come to an end in November of 1987.

Transformers (1987): Mail-Order/Promotions

For the first time since Hasbro began releasing Transformers toys, Hasbro did not offer any mail-order or promotional exclusives to the public in 1987.

After a wildly successful launch in 1984, the Transformers toy line was now a global phenomenon and Hasbro Toys was a force to be reckoned with in the action figure market. It seemed the public truly loved the Transformers concept and couldn’t get enough of them. Since being released in 1984, Hasbro had the luxury of choosing their characters from from the popular Japanese Diaclone series for their American Transformers line, but that well was now dry with most of the Diaclone characters having already been brought over to Transformers. Now, all new characters released by Hasbro were original concept designs. The Transformers line was still considered very successful but cracks were beginning to show in their armor. The Marvel Comics Transformers comic was still selling decently in 1987, but the biggest blow to the Transformers franchise happened when the animated television series came to a sudden end in November of 1987. The popular animated show ran for 98 episodes, and was a fantastic way for Hasbro to promote the characters for their toy line, but now without that promotion, Hasbro would have to step carefully on future Transformers releases. This trend carried over to other merchandising areas as well, where many items that normally featured familiar Transformers characters and logos were beginning to slow down.

The fourth wave of the Transformers line, gave us a ton of new figures, which was a trend in new waves. The figures were spun across twelve different sub-sets. Each sub-set was based on a specific team, whether it be the heroic Autobots or evil Decepticons. Hasbro introduced a two new series in 1987 called the Headmasters and Targetmasters. These two lines used a new concept where the sentient pilot of the vehicle would actually merge with the vehicle to create the robot form of the figure. The Autobots team got even bigger with more main characters added to the roster, including Fastlane, Punch/Counterpunch, Doublecross, Repugnus, and all of the incredibly cool Technobot and Throttlebot teams. For the the Decepticons, we also got some pretty great new characters, such as Pounce, Six Shot, Battle Trap, Apeface, Snapdragon, and of course the super cool Terrorcon team. These figures would continue to build the foundation of the Transformers world for future storylines and adventures. We also got two new massive playsets for the Transformers line with Scorponok and the largest Transformer ever created for the Generation one line, Fortress Maximus.

The packaging for the Transformers figures was basically identical as the previous years with a bright and eye catching design, that still kept that futuristic robot look. Keeping with the traditional Autobot and Decepticon color schemes, each blister pack or box matched the color of the affiliated team with the Autobots being red and Decepticons being purple. The carded blister packs were essentially the same design, with the figure in the center and artwork to either side and above. The packaging on the boxed figures also remained fairly consistent with the figure being across the bottom of the box and artwork being on the right side of the package. This is evident in the Clones, Duocons, Monsterbots, Headmasters, and Targetmasters series. Again, the color schemes were each different, depending on whether the figure was an Autobot or Decepticon. One thing that did not change with any of the packaging was the iconic Transformers logo. The logo was prominently splashed across the top of each type of package with the only variation being the color and team affiliation as described earlier.
