The Transformers (toyline)

The Transformers (retroactively called Generation One or G1) started as a joint venture between two companies: Hasbro of America and Takara of Japan. After an idea to rebrand and sell Takara's Diaclone and Microchange robot toys as a whole new line with a new concept behind it, Hasbro unknowingly would wind up making what would be one of the longest running toy franchises.

Autobots
Autobot Mini-Cars
 * Bumblebee
 * Cliffjumper
 * Although the official catalogs and the box artwork depict Bumblebee in yellow and Cliffjumper in red, both toys were actually available in both colors. Additionally, a third toy of a simmilar design was also available in yellow, sold on Cliffjumper cards. That toy was never officially marketed by Hasbro as a separate character, but was later dubbed "Bumblejumper" or "Bumper" by fans.
