History Anime / TransformersGo

* StrictlyFormula: All episodes for both volumes except for the first and last two follow the same basic formula of "the main heroes travel back in time to meet a HistoricalDomainCharacter who teaches them AnAesop, the Predacons arrive to steal the Legendisc, the Swordbots combine and defeat the Predacons and everyone is sent back to the present with the Legendisc being sent to another pint in history".

* StockSoundEffects: the sound effects are the same from Michael Bay's {{Film/Transformers}}.

* BladeOnAStick: Ganoh and Go-Ganoh use a spear as main weapon.

The story takes place after the main team of Autobots have vanquished the Decepticons from earth, and follows the adventures of a team of Autobots who remain on the planet in order to fight off any remaining threats. Dragontron (Predaking) has stirred from his resting place, and Predacons have scattered around to find the Legend Discs to fully awaken him. Two have found their way to Japan's feudal era, while a pair of boys gained the remaining two. When the Predacons come after them, the Legend Discs each awaken a team of Autobots, the Samurai and Shinobi Swordbot Teams, to defend them.

* MerchandiseDriven: There's a lot of repaints and remolds of ''TransformersPrime'' toys to go with the few original ones in this line, plus recolored Arms Microns as exclusives - and still a bunch left over to fill out the 2015 ''Robots in Disguise'' adaptation!

** As a nod to other shows with trains, Optimus Exprime's toy [[Series/KamenRiderDenO plays a jingle while flashing color-changing lights]], and can also say [[ResshaSentaiToQger "Shuppatsu Shinkou!"]]
