Transformers (トランスフォーマー,   Toransufōmā) is a famous Japanese-American media franchise created by toy companies Hasbro and TakaraTomy.

The series had several Godzilla references over the years. In 2024, a collaboration between Transformers and Godzilla was announced.

Products

Two Japan-exclusive Godzilla-themed retools of Transformers toys will be produced as part of the Synergenex line. Both are set for release in May 2025 and will retail for ¥9,350.

The figures are given a background story and biographies on the official webpage for the collaboration. The former reads:

In the year 2024, the Earth was at peace when the Emperor of Destruction, Megatron, attacked it using a space-traveling device called the Space Bridge. Sensing this, the strongest monster, Godzilla, appeared. Wanting to become the strongest power on Earth, Megatron scanned Godzilla and was reborn as Megatron TYPE Godzilla, gaining that power. A fierce battle between the two begins for the title of strongest, bringing the Earth to the brink of destruction.
Sensing something strange, Optimus Prime, the commander-in-chief, tries to stop Megatron. However, he is forced into a difficult battle against the two monsters, Megatron, who has gained Godzilla's power and gone berserk, and the original Godzilla.
In an attempt to revive the world, Optimus unleashes the power of the "Matrix", which is filled with the wisdom of the universe. From the wisdom, he discovers data on the "Type 3 Kiryu", an anti-Godzilla weapon from a different universe. By linking the space bridge with the matrix, he summons Kiryu, and at the same time, he updates his own appearance to "Optimus Prime Type 3 Kiryu", which reflects the Kiryu's data. Kiryu and Optimus stand up together to stop the battle between Godzilla and Megatron and protect the Earth.
Who will be the winner? And what will the fate of the Earth be?

Optimus Prime Type MFS-3 Kiryu (オプティマスプライム タイプ 3式機龍,   Oputimasu Puraimu Taipu San-shiki Kiryū, lit. "Optimus Prime Type Type-3 Kiryu") is a redecorated Transformers: Legacy Laser Optimus Prime figure. Its robot mode is almost completely silver, except for its navy-blue shoulder cannons and arm cannon (referencing Kiryu's Back Unit and Type-0 Railguns from Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla), as well as its yellow eyes and red face accents (also features of Kiryu). A Kiryu-themed collaboration logo and the text "MFS-3" are printed on its chest panels. Its truck mode consists of a blue cab pulling an army-green trailer which is made to resemble the Anti-Megalosaurus Force's ground vehicles. The collaboration logo is printed on the cab's doors, and the text "JXSDF" and "特生自衛隊" (the AMF's Japanese initialism and name, respectively) on the sides of the trailer.

The figure's accessories include the truck trailer, railgun, a yellow sword and axe, and a yellow Matrix stored under the robot mode's chest panels.

Online biography

In order to fight against Megatron who has gained the power of Godzilla, Optimus Prime has been updated with the cooperation of the Japanese Self-Defense Force. By scanning the design data of the Type 3 Kiryu, the anti-Godzilla weaponry has been recreated and equipped.
It is equipped with a Maser Blade and a Maser Axe as its main weapons. By connecting the two together, it becomes a powerful "Twin Maser Blade". It is also equipped with a "Type 3 Matrix" on its chest. It contains design data for Kiryu, and by recreating this data, it is possible to fire the Absolute Zero cannon.
The vehicle mode scans for the vehicles of the Special Self-Defense Forces, allowing for high-speed land movement, and allows for rapid deployment to the scene together with Kiryu.
At the rear, it pulls a trailer that serves as a maintenance base, allowing both Kiryu and Optimus to be repaired on-site.

Megatron Type Godzilla

Megatron Type Godzilla (メガトロン タイプ ゴジラ,   Megatoron Taipu Gojira) is a redecorated Transformers: Studio Series Generation 1 Grimlock figure with a new head sculpt.

Online biography

A new form for Megatron who, in his quest for great power, has obtained the power of Godzilla, the strongest creature on earth.
By scanning the DNA from Godzilla's cells, Godzilla's powerful energy and physical body have been recreated.
The main weapon, the fusion cannon, has been upgraded to the "Double-barreled G Cannon" with two turrets to make the most of Godzilla's energy, giving it a destructive power that rivals, if not surpasses, Godzilla's heat ray.
It also acquires a new transformation, a "beast mode," which closely resembles Godzilla.
Equipped with a "fusion heat ray circuit" in its neck, it is able to fire heat rays similar to those of Godzilla. Its armor is dyed black, and it has acquired the extraordinary defensive powers of Godzilla, making it flawless in both offense and defense.
However, having absorbed the power of "Godzilla cells" which only Godzilla can control, he has begun to be possessed by a destructive urge, and in exchange for this power, he appears to be at risk of going out of control.
