Trivia

The cartoon's artists and Hasbro's toy designers shared basic ideas with regards to the designs of the characters, but after a point, they separated, which resulted in a show whose characters are infamously different in appearance from the toys they represent. It is not unusual for the toys to have different shapes, colors, and even basic outlines than their in-show counterparts. Also, the characters were incredibly out of scale with each other in toy form (for instance Silverbolt, one of the tallest Maximals has the smallest toy, yet the relatively small sized Nightscream towers over his companions). Hasbro later on produced some toys that were a lot more accurate to the cartoon's depictions, although the scale issue was not resolved. Some characters, like the diagnostic drone and Botanica, who were prominently featured in the cartoon, never even had toys of their own. See more »
