Exclamation how many transformers have been made- total

hi guys, I was wondering if anybody knows how many transformers have been made in total since 1984. I'm including japanese, european, exclusives, all lines, including beast wars etc...

Even re-paints I'm counting as separate figures.
And if a figure came with a minicon, I'm counting the minicon as a separate figure.

Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated. thanks,
zp

Though I have no idea... I'd agree with Pascal. Not sure if we'll be able to find the answer on this one but i'd love to know.

I think the Hartman (was it their name?) bros had the biggest collection at some point. They might have an answer.

Re: how many transformers have been made- total

What do you classify as as Transformer? Must it Transform unlike the revoltech figures? Also, do you consider repaints as all one figure or two? Do you count Botcon exclusive retools / repaints?

In any case, you are asking a broad question with probably no answer.

You could start with a site like TFU and go from there. They have, as far as I know, a fairly complete database as to North American, European and Janpanese realease transformers.
