Transformer Toy Lines

Transformers anime was first seen on TV over 30 years ago. Ever since, animated series of many different editions, movies, Transformers games and manga growing more and more popular, they especially appeal to children of all ages but many adults enjoy these series just as well.  Just a few years ago multimillion budget blockbusters was released dedicated to Transformers.
Hasbro realized potential of Transformers long time ago and started selling their product (transformers action figures) throughout the world, which have become a huge success. Children from all over the world love transformers toys series and everything related to it.
Transformers animated toys have slightly different appearance than regular transformer toys; it’s more of a cartoonish style design and robotic form. These line was first presented at BotCon future panel. Launch in United States was however delayed and presented in June of 2008.
Another extremely popular toy line “Cyber Slammer” was introduced in 2007 and Bumper Battlers have been featured with a Bump and Transform movement or action, When bumper gets hit, toy transformers into robot form automatically. And when sigil is pushed, it makes sound effects and speech features.
Not everyone liked animated toy line though; there have been some criticisms about this line.  Some didn’t like the paintjob, people complained about toys having a poor application of pain. Also, there were complains about breakages of lockdown wrists and that toy functionalities been affected. The reason behind this limitation has been the support struts which were added to prevent breakage. These were experienced with the Cannon of Voyager Megatron and the wrong positioning of the Bumblebee stingers. This shouldn’t pose a long term issue since many of these are very fixable.
Hundreds and thousands online shops offer new, modern toy lines of transformer series as well as older lines which are difficult to find. At online shops and auctions, collectors can purchase even the rarest collections from the Transformer series, movies, Transformer games etc.
