My Transformers Classics Collection
Classics was really the start of what would become an ongoing Generations line, though the term ‘Generations’ would not crop up for several more years. With the first live action movie on the way, Hasbro wanted to revisit the original G1 characters and figures rather than do yet another alternate-universe cartoon spin-off of them like Robots in Disguise (2001) or Armada, something that we hadn’t seen since Generation 2. So for the first time in over a decade we got characters designed to be updates of the G1 Bots and Cons many of us grew up with. The concept proved so successful that it is still being used to this day!

Transformers Robots in Disguise (15) was very much an “Eh – it was ok” entry into the Transformers multiverse. Set in the Aligned Continuity, it was meant to be the sequel toTransformers Prime and run cocurrent to Transformers Rescue Bots. However whilst Prime impressed fans with its ongoing mature storyline, impressive graphics and excellet figures, Robots in Disguise was far more simplistic and considered a downgrade. The cartoon became a The Tick like show where the team battled a differently themed bad guy each week, and the toyline introduced Warrior-class and 1-step changer toys – simplistic toys with simplistic transformations.
Whilst never hated like Kiss Players, Robots in Disguise (15) failed to impress anyone, and will remain a cartoon and toyline that the majority of fans feel ambivelent about. At least we got some better figures from other toylines RID crossed over with such as Adventure and Go!

In the 2nd installment of the Unicron Trilogy we got the Energon series. This saw a rise of 2-bot combination and the return of some classic characters such as Scorponok and Omega Supreme. Best of all, we got our first official Quintesson figure!
