Rediscover the roots of the Transformers legacy with Reveal the Shield, a fan-favorite Generations sub-line that pays tribute to the original G1 era. Released in 2010–2011, this line features updated versions of iconic Autobots and Decepticons—each with a throwback twist: the classic rubsigns that reveal faction allegiance with heat activation.

True to its name, the Reveal the Shield series blends modern articulation and sculpting with vintage inspiration. It includes standout reimaginings of characters like Jazz, Tracks, Perceptor, Bumblebee, and Optimus Prime—all redesigned with new molds while honoring their 1980s counterparts.

Notable highlights include:

• Classic Rubsign Gimmick – Each figure features a heat-sensitive shield emblem, just like the vintage G1 toys. Rub to reveal Autobot or Decepticon allegiance.

• G1-Inspired Design – Character-accurate head sculpts, color schemes, and alt modes closely match their original appearances from the cartoon and toy line.

• Collector-Favorite Engineering – These figures introduced some of the best articulation and detailing of their time, making them perfect for display or dynamic posing.

Many of these figures became the definitive versions of their characters for a generation of collectors—earning recognition for both accuracy and playability. The packaging even pays homage to the original look and feel of G1 boxes, further cementing its place as a love letter to longtime fans.
