Hasbro would go on to buy the entire toy line from Takara, giving them sole ownership of the Transformers toy-line, branding rights, and copyrights, while in exchange, Takara was given the rights to produce the toys and the rights to distribute them in the Japanese market. The designs for the original 28 figures were made by Shōji Kawamori, Kojin Ono, Takashi Matsuda, Hideaki Yoke, Hiroyuki Obara, and Satoshi Koizumi. They approached Marvel Comics to create a backstory with names and short descriptions for each character, which were written by Bob Budiansky. In 1984, Hasbro bought the distribution rights to the molds and rebranded them as the Transformers for distribution in North America. Other toy molds from other companies such as Bandai were used as well. The Transformers toy line was created from toy molds mostly produced by Japanese company Takara in the toy lines Diaclone and Micro Change. 2.6 Transformers: Universe (2002–present).2.3 Beast Wars and Beast Machines (1996–2001).A live-action film series was launched in 2007 by director Michael Bay. The original TV series has a number of spin-offs and reboots. Many spin-offs are based on the toys including a comic book series, an animated television series, and the feature-length animated The Transformers: The Movie. They are known in Japan as the Cybertrons and Destrons, respectively, although more recent releases often use the English terms. The Transformers toy-line is typically divided into two main factions: the heroic Autobots and their opponents, the evil Decepticons. The franchise's taglines, "More Than Meets the Eye" and "Robots in Disguise", reflect this ability. The premise behind the Transformers toy line is that an individual toy's parts can be shifted about to change it from a vehicle, a device, or an animal, to a robot action figure and back again. Initially a line of transforming mecha toys rebranded from Takara's Diaclone and Micro Change toy lines, it spawned the Transformers media franchise.

The Transformers ( トランスフォーマー, Toransufōmā) is a line of mecha toys produced by Japanese company Takara (now known as Takara Tomy) and American toy company Hasbro. ( Learn how and when to remove this template message) ( April 2021) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)
