Rediscover a unique chapter in Transformers history with Transformers Machine Wars, a short-lived yet cult-favorite toyline released exclusively in the U.S. during the 1990s. Developed by Kenner during a transitional period in the brand’s evolution, Machine Wars introduced classic characters in all-new molds, many of which had never been seen outside this line.

Machine Wars featured simple yet satisfying transformations, military-inspired alt modes, and bold new aesthetics that stood apart from both G1 and Beast Wars. With limited distribution and an entirely toy-based release (no supporting cartoon or comic), Machine Wars has become a sought-after subline for collectors interested in obscure or underrepresented eras of the franchise.

At TFSource, browse a rotating inventory of vintage Machine Wars Transformers, including sealed figures, collector-grade packaging, and hard-to-find characters. All backed by TFSource’s signature benefits like stackable preorders, Source Points rewards, and free shipping on qualified orders.
