Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (franchise)

'''Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers' (戦え! 超ロボット生命体 トランスフォーマー Tatakae! Chō Robotto Seimeitai Transformers) is the typically ostentatious title given to the first year of the Generation 1'' franchise in Japan. Released in 1985, one year after the franchise had been launched in Hasbro markets, the various aspects of FSRLTF combined Hasbro's 1984 and 1985 products into one large line.

The franchise comprises:


 * A toyline, consisting of most of the toys released by Hasbro in 1984 and 1985. Among those not released as part of FSRLTF were Jetfire, Roadbuster, Whirl, Omega Supreme, and the Deluxe Insecticons.


 * A cartoon, consisting of the first two seasons of the Generation 1 cartoon. In addition to several of the episodes being substantially re-ordered (and heavily edited for time), two were not aired, and nine additional clip shows were created for the series, as well as the direct-to-video episode, "Scramble City: Mobilization".


 * A manga published in TV Magazine, the primary piece of original media created for the line.


 * A series of story pages, which ran alongside the manga and provided prose adventures with two page magazine spreads.

In 1986, the series was rebranded ''Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers 2010'', but only for the fiction. The toyline continued under its original title until 1990.
