Transformers: Universe is a Transformers comic series and toy line that was started to reintroduce repainted versions of past figures. The Transformers: Universe toy line traces its origins back to when Hasbro imported the Transformers: Car Robots toy line from Takara and called it Transformers: Robots in Disguise. Although they made Hasbro versions of most of the Car Robots characters, they also released a number of repainted molds from previous toy lines (yet uncharacterized in Car Robots; mostly Generation Two and unused Beast Machines concepts) and released them as part of the Robots in Disguise line. When the Robots in Disguise line ended and Transformers: Armada started, the repaint line was given its own title, Transformers: Universe.
Meanwhile the BotCon Covention Comics had a plotline set during and after Beast Machines. This plotline was wrapped up with the repainted figures from RiD and Universe to create the storyline of Transformers: Universe.
