We're back for another look at individual years of Transformers toys, and today it's all about the 1989 Micromasters! One of the biggest resets in the original line, these mini-marvels didn't scrimp on the fun factor, as evidenced by our enthusiasm in talking about them. But how many does Jason own?

Following the Scramble City combiners of the previous year, the Technobots & Terrorcons arrived in 1987 with a fresh spin on a familiar design. Computron & Abominus have become fan-favourite toys over the years, but which do we think is best?

The recently announced MPG-17 means we have a fourth Transformers Masterpiece Optimus Prime on the way soon! But what sets it apart from the previous attempts from over the years and just how has the line evolved since its 2003 beginnings?

The early 2000s began a major period of nostalgia for Transformers that has continued ever since, and a significant part of that was the 2002-6 Takara Transformers Collection series, often known as the 'book box' reissues. Today, we take a look at just what made this line of G1 re-releases so magic.

Despite being one of the formative Transformers toy lines of the pre-movie mid-2000s era, it's fair to say that Takara's Robotmasters is now largely forgotten by many collectors. However, a deep dive into this rather odd 2004 line-up may reveal a few gems - and some definite giggles along the way!

It's our 100th episode extravaganza, so we thought we'd bring back two of our favourite ever guests! When that fell through, we got James Roberts & Nick Roche on instead, but at least they blessed us with some epic chat about one of the best Transformers comic stories of all time.

With the recent reveal of Liokaiser, the whole subject of the Haslab crowdfund campaign has come up for debate again! What are the big pros and cons of this method of getting toys made? And do they represent good value for money?

As Transformers began to wane at the turn of the '90s, Takara stepped forward with a bold new series of toys in the form of Brave! Many of the initial designs began life as robots in disguise, but it quickly became a popular Japanese series in its own right, and today, we sit and look at the first year of Exkaiser figures from 1990. Feeling Brave?
