Imagine all the anniversary toys coming in 3 years time...![]()
I don't remember anything noteworthy happening in 1994 for Transformers' 10th anniversary... although Transformers was at a low point then since it was midway into G2. 1994 did see some nice toys coming out and the advent of articulated robot modes, but there was nothing specifically done to commemorate the 10th anniversary as far as I can recall. Ozformers didn't exist yet.
2004 was a lot bigger and we had more things coming out to commemorate the 20th anniversary.
+ A lot of Transformer toys from both Hasbro and Takara sported the 20th anniversary logo on the packaging.
+ We got _lots_ of G1 reissues, Binaltech/Alternators and Masterpiece. Hasbro's version of Masterpiece Convoy was called "20th Anniversary Optimus Prime."
+ In Australia we held the first full Transformers convention in Sydney's Ashfield with exclusive merchandise (unlicensed, but given free to attendees).
+ Dreamwave releases Don Figueroa's 20th Anniversary lithograph
+ 2004 was also the 30th anniversary of Microman, so to mark the duel anniversary Takara released Kicker - a Microman toy as part of the Transformers Super Link toy line (the character even featured prominently in the cartoon and comics). Hasbro also released their own version, but heavily modified where a lot of the articulation was lost (so the Microman homage was arguably lost).
