Every Transformers TV series arranged by release year, 1984–present
Movieweb has compiled a release-order list of every Transformers television series, beginning with 1984 entries such as The Transformers and Challenge of the GoBots and extending through 2022's EarthSpark (listed as 2022–present). The piece notes that television has been integral to the franchise, sustaining toy sales, deepening lore, establishing the brand outside America and experimenting with new designs.
It highlights the original 1984 The Transformers, which introduced Autobots led by Optimus Prime and Decepticons led by Megatron and expanded into a broader space opera; between 1984 and the end of the decade, Transformers toys generated several billion dollars in global revenue. The list also records early footnotes such as Challenge of the GoBots, a similar transforming-robot series derived from Bandai's Machine Robo and licensed in the U.S.
by Tonka that was never integrated into the Transformers franchise, and later entries including Beast Wars (1996–1999), an early fully CG revival, and the darker, divisive Beast Machines (1999–2000). The chronology covers subsequent series through the War for Cybertron Trilogy (2020–2021), BotBots (2022) and EarthSpark (2022–present).
