Transformers Generation 2 began in 1993 and ran through until 1995. It represented a major push on Hasbro’s part to reclaim some of the popularity that Transformers had enjoyed in their heyday in the 1980’s. The line began with repainted Generation 1 toys, but soon introduced many new designs, including colour-changing gimmicks and even light up engines and weapons. Toward the end of the line, though, the best gimmick of all was introduced – articulation. Finally, Transformers became poseable in their robot mode.
A small number of toys came out in Japan, however, they were not very popular and later Japanese releases were very scarce. On the opposite side of the scale, Europe, Australia and Canada saw many toys that did not make it to the US.
