Transformers (Cheap as Free toyline)
Released exclusively in Free Country, USA, this Transformers toyline was released by Cheap as Free, with the figures being designed by Hasbro. These figures are either new molds, or retools of existing figures.
Background[edit | edit source]
After Cheap as Free released the Cheat Commandos toyline, they were contacted by Hasbro, and were offered to import a few G1 Transformers figures to Free Country, which they accepted. They started by importing a few of the Autobot cars, Mini Vehicles, Decepticon planes, cassettes, Soundwave, and Optimus Prime, which soon became huge sellers. So huge in fact, that Cheap as Free soon started selling every Transformers toyline that they were offered, and were even offered to release figures exclusive to Free Country.
Figures[edit | edit source]
Optimus Prime (Scantron) (Autobot)[edit | edit source]
Accessories: Ion Blaster, Matrix of Leadership, So and So Titan Master
Optimus Prime is supposed to be a figure of Scantron, in the original Optimus Prime's colours. This figure transforms into Optimus Prime's truck mode. He comes with a Titan Master, So and So, a retool of the Titan Master Apex, with a new face sculpt, resembling Scantron's face. He also comes with an Ion Blaster accessory, as well as a Matrix of Leadership accessory.

Accessories: Fusion Cannon (Beefy arm), missile
Megatron transforms into Trogdor the Burninator, with his Fusion Cannon becoming Trogdor's famous beefy arm. The figure is a bit of a shellformer, with bits of the dragon mode opening up to show the robot mode inside, and there's lots of dragon mode bits hanging off the back of the robot mode. This figure's robot mode is based on the original Megatron, while the dragon mode is meant to homage Transmetals 2 Megatron in being a Megatron who transforms into a dragon. When first released, this figure was quickly sold out, and sold for a high price by scalpers, due to the popularity of Trogdor.
