Generation One is a retroactive term for the
Transformers characters that appeared between
1984 and
1993.
The Transformers began with the
1980s Japanese toy lines Microman and Diaclone. The former utilized varying humanoid-type figures while the latter presented robots able to transform into everyday vehicles, electronic items or weapons. Hasbro, fresh from the success of the
G.I. Joe:
A Real American Hero toyline, which used the Microman technology to great success, bought the Diaclone toys, and partnered with
Takara.[4]
Jim Shooter and
Dennis O'Neil were hired by Hasbro to create the backstory;
O'Neil also created the name "
Optimus Prime."[5]
Afterwards,
Bob Budiansky created most of the Transformers characters, giving names and personalities to many unnamed Diaclone figures.[6] The primary concept of G1 is that the heroic Optimus Prime, the villainous
Megatron, and their finest soldiers crash land on pre-historic
Earth in the Ark and the
Nemesis before awakening in
1985, Cybertron hurtling through the
Neutral zone as an effect of the war. The
Marvel comic was originally part of the main
Marvel Universe, with appearances from Spider-Man and
Nick Fury, plus some cameos,[7] as well as a visit to the
Savage Land.[8]
The Transformers
TV series began around the same time. Produced by
Sunbow Productions and
Marvel Productions, later Hasbro Productions, from the start it contradicted Budiansky's backstories. The TV series shows the Autobots looking for new energy sources, and crash landing as the Decepticons attack.[9]
Marvel interpreted the Autobots as destroying a rogue asteroid approaching Cybertron.[10]
Shockwave is loyal to Megatron in the TV series, keeping Cybertron in a stalemate during his absence,[11] but in the comic book he attempts to take command of the Decepticons.[12] The TV series would also differ wildly from the origins Budiansky had created for the Dinobots,[13][14] the Decepticon turned Autobot Jetfire[15] (known as
Skyfire on
TV[16]), the Constructicons (who combine to form
Devastator),[17][18] and
Omega Supreme.[17][19] The Marvel comic establishes early on that
Prime wields the
Creation Matrix, which gives life to machines
. In the second season, the two-part episode
The Key to Vector Sigma introduced the ancient
Vector Sigma computer, which served the same original purpose as the Creation Matrix (giving life to
Transformers), and its guardian
Alpha Trion.
In
1986, the cartoon became the film The Transformers:
The Movie, which is set in the year
2005. It introduced the
Matrix as the "
Autobot Matrix of Leadership", as a fatally wounded Prime gives it to
Ultra Magnus; however, as Prime dies he drops the matrix, which is then caught by
Hot Rod who subsequently becomes
Rodimus Prime later on in the film. Unicron, a transformer who devours planets, fears its power and recreates a heavily damaged Megatron as Galvatron, as well as
Bombshell becoming Cyclonus, one of the
Seekers becoming
Scourge and two other Insecticons becoming Scourge's huntsmen, the Sweeps.
Eventually, Rodimus Prime takes out the Matrix and destroys Unicron.[20] In the
United Kingdom, the weekly comic book interspliced original material to keep up with
U.S. reprints,[21] and The Movie provided much new material.
Writer Simon Furman proceeded to expand the continuity with movie spin-offs involving the time travelling Galvatron
.[22][23] The Movie also featured guest voices from
Leonard Nimoy as Galvatron,
Scatman Crothers as
Jazz,
Casey Kasem as Cliffjumper,
Orson Welles as Unicron and
Eric Idle as the leader of the Junkions (Wreck-Gar, though unnamed in the movie). The Transformers theme tune for the film was performed by
Lion with "
Weird Al" Yankovic adding a song to the soundtrack.
