Set-VersionDescription
12
MicroChangePreTF line. Predecessor to the TF line. Part of the Takara MicroChange line.
13
JoustraCarded set, released under Diaclone name. Unsure if at same time or before PreTF Microchange line. Likely after since says Tavage says Japan instead of Taka
14
KO ShiantaiKnockoff cassettes made by company called Shiantai around the time Microchange toys were released
15
KO CassetteKnockoff cassettes made by company called Shiantai around the time Microchange toys were released. Instead of Shiantai markings they replaced with Cassette
16
G1 Japan DecalLikely 1st release of toy in Transformers line. Would make sense since all they'd be doing s replace Takara with Japan across sticker. And this is the only other legic release without manufacturer stamps besides MicroChange line
17
G1 Japan Decal (Takara)Likely 2nd release of toy in Transformers line. Would make sense since along with Japan across sticker they added the Takara Japan stamp
18
G1 Pre-Rub JapanLikely 3rd release of toy in Transformers line. Japan across sticker removed but Takara Japan stamp remained
19
G1 Pre-RubLikely 4th release of toy in Transformers line. Takara Japan stamp replaced with Takara Co Ltd Japan 1983 stamp
20
G1 Pre-Rub HasbroPossibly true 5th release? Right before rub signs. Unsure when Hasbro and Takara linked up. Figures first Ive seen stamped Hasbro with no Rub Sign.
21
G1 Rub SignLikely 5th release of toy in Transformers line. Same stamps as last release but now has rub stamps. And don't see any autobot cassettes with no Hasbro stamp
22
G1 Rub Sign HasbroLikely 6th release of toy in Transformers line. First time Hasbro stamp seen on figures. And 1st time autobot cassettes seen
23
G1 PlasticLikely released around time of G1 Rub Sign Hasbro. Same stamps. Only real difference is black plastic toes/joints
24
G1 Rub Sign MacauLikely 7th release. When TFs started to get manufactured in Macau, not just Japan. RIght before the Headmasters line
25
G1 Plastic MacauLikely released around time of G1 Rub Sign Macau/Hasbro. Same stamps, with Macau stamp. Only real difference is black plastic toes/joints and only stickered Frenzy with
26
G1 Milton BradleyCarded set, released in Europe under Milton Bradley. Have Rub Sign so had to have been released around the time of rub signs
27
HK - No RubSame as the HK set just no rub indents or rub signs. I'd guess these were released before th HK stuff, a precursor to the mostly tampo HK set
28
HKLikely 8th release. Released around the time of G1Rub Sign Macau. Kind of mix and match between tampograph and stickered. and some had no Macau stamp at all, plastic poured over it
29
HeadmasterReleased in Headmaster line after all the original G1 cartoon ended. Japan only releases.
30
KO HiFi RobotexKO carded set. Unsure when first released. Likely around hype of Microchange line or at beggining of TF line, since you only see Frenzy, Laserbeak, Ravage KOd
31
KO TransistorRobotKO carded set. Unsure when first released. Likely around hype of Microchange line or at beggining of TF line, since you only see Frenzy, Laserbeak, Ravage KOd
32
KO O-YangKO carded set. Unsure when first released. Likely around hype of Microchange line or at beggining of TF line, since you only see Frenzy KOd
33
KO KoreanKO carded set. Unsure when first released. Likely around hype of Microchange line or at beggining of TF line, since you only see Laserbeak KOd. Guessing might be other cassettes released. Also cheap quality matches the Korean KO. Might have been made by same company
34
KO MasterpieceKO boxed set. Released maybe within a year of originals.
35
Korean KOCame with KO Soundblaster with leg extensions. Likely came out around Headmaster line since its Soundblaster they KOd. Then again maybe they just thought it'd be cool to see a black Soundwave, before Hasbro did.
36
KO 5IN1KO carded set. Unsure when first released. Guessing between end of G! line and beginning of Headmaster line since all molds KOd except all but one of the dinocassettes. Maybe didn't have time to KO the rest or couldn't find a good way to KO the other 3.
37
