Playskool

Playskool is Hasbro's brand name for toys designed for small children, famous for products such as Mr. Potato Head.

In Transformers fandom, Playskool (sometimes written "Playskoolish") is also a loosely defined adjective, often used to refer to vehicle modes which one does not like.

Traits commonly leading to a Playskool classication include:
 * Having proportions which, to the speaker, are unexpected for that vehicle type (also known as Tonka)
 * Lacking clear windows
 * Having bright colors
 * Being an Armada toy
 * Having a lower amount of sculpted detail than an Alternator

To be considered Playskool, a Transformer need not bear any resemblance of any kind to actual Playskool products.

Like most words used by fans in this fashion, Playskool is almost never applied to Generation 1 toys, regardless of the appearances of their vehicle modes.
