Transformers: Universe

Transformers: Universe is a line of toys that consists of re-painted and re-released toys from various Transformers lines of toys. For the comic book series see Transformers Universe (comic book).

Toy line

Transformers: Universe is a Transformers comic series and toy line that introduced repainted versions of past figures. The Transformers: Universe toy line traces its origins back to when Hasbro imported the Transformers: Car Robots toy line from Takara and called it Transformers: Robots in Disguise. Although they made most Hasbro versions of the Car Robots characters, they also released a number of repainted molds from previous toy lines and released them as part of the Robots in Disguise line. When the Robots in Disguise line ended and Transformers: Armada started, the repainted product line was given its own title: Transformers: Universe.
