Bios on toy packaging is nothing new, but for many G1 Transformers the bio seen on their toy box or tech specs is actually an abridged version of longer character bios written to develop the characters for the show and comic! This episode will cover a portion of the Autobots seen in the opening episodes, with the rest (and the Decepticons) being covered in the second part, or later after the episode they're introduced in. It's interesting to see what pieces of these character's bios continue to exist in the characters in the modern day vs what was forgotten or ignored. We also take a look at the original generation one toys for each character as we go! It's fun to see what got simplified or adjusted for animation.
