Transformers Toy, Ravage, 1984-1986
01
Artifact Overview
Some toys are "More than meets the eye." Transformers can change from vehicles into robots -- either good Autobots or evil Decepticons -- and back again. Released by Hasbro, Inc. in 1984, these successfully marketed action figures quickly transformed into an entertainment franchise with comic books, television shows, video games and several feature-length Hollywood movies.
