Keshi Surprise

TheKeshi Surpriseseries consisted of 1.75 "rubber figurines in the style of Japanesekeshigomufigures. Transformers fans may already be familiar with this format of toy thanks to theDecoys,butKeshi Surprise's aesthetic leans a bit more "chibi".Theseblind-packedfigures were sold either individually or in cases labeled only by their faction. Each included a foil trading card / sticker. Autobot figures were available in red, yellow, blue, or purple; Decepticons in red, orange, blue, or purple.

    ReAction

    ReActiontoys are 3.75-inch "retro" action figures in the same vein asKenner'sStar Warsaction figures of the late 1970s/early 1980s, with five points of articulation (swivel shoulders, legs, and neck). They even come on a similar style of cardback.

    This series features avastnumber of properties from across the media spectrum both nostalgic and new (though, ironically, notStar Warsitself), indie comic-book characters, and even real-life athletes and musicians (and band-associated "characters" ). In 2020,Transformersjoined the format with figures based on "Generation 1"characters, basedheavilyon the 80's animation models.Beast Warscharacters would join the lineup in 2023 with figures adhering closely to their designs from theMainframe Entertainmentseries.

    Super Cyborg

    Billed on the packaging as "the X-Ray Action Figure",Super Cyborgis a line of roughly 12 "tall action figures loosely inspired byTakara's classicHenshin Cyborgline. Each figure features an elaborately sculpted and fully painted rendition of the mechanical inner workings of the character, which are concealed beneath a removable chestplate. These chestplates also typically feature transparent elements, allowing you to get a peek at some of the inner sculpting without removing the chestplate. LikeReAction,theSuper Cyborgfigures are rather limited in their articulation, featuring the same five points as their smaller brethren plus an additional two points at the figures' wrists.

    Transformers ULTIMATES!

    ULTIMATES!toys are basically the opposite ofReAction:highly articulated 7-inch-tall action figures, based on numerous licensed nostalgia-toy properties, includingHe-Man,Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,andThundercats.The standardULTIMATES!figure has multi-directional joints at the neck, shoulders, wrists, hips and ankles, plus swivels at the biceps, elbows, abs, waist and knees. All figures also have extra sets of hands in different poses, and some even have additional alternate heads, as well as numerous accessories. All figures are produced on a made-to-order basis.

    In 2021,Transformersjoined the format with figures based on "Generation 1"characters, with styles both cartoon/comic-based and toy-based.

    In late 2024, a few of these figures were repackaged and rebranded asTransformers Deluxe,looking the same as theirULTIMATES!versions but losing nearly all of their accessories (and a little of their price tag).

    Various delays led to the originally-projected release windows being missed by asignificantamount. The first wave was solicited in late January 2021, and shipped in June the following year; it would be another year for wave 2 to hit, while wave 3 took nearlytwo yearsbetween solicitation and release.


    Super Shogun

    A double-homage, theSuper Shogunfigures are meant to combine aspects of the 1980s Transformers with 1970s "Shogun Warriors"franchise. As such, the figures are 24" tall and made of hollow vinyl, with wheeled feet and spring-launching fists.
