title: 'transformerpalettes: Color Palettes Inspired by Transformers Toys, Cartoons
  and Comics'
version: 0.4.0
abstract: Color palettes drawn from the Transformers franchise, centered on the 1984-1989
  Generation 1 toys and extending to their Generation 2 re-releases, the cartoon animation
  models and the Marvel comics. Covers the leaders, every member and combined form
  of the combiner teams (Aerialbots, Protectobots, Technobots, Constructicons, Stunticons,
  Combaticons, Terrorcons, Predacons, Seacons, Pretender Monsters and Breastforce),
  the Dinobots, the Seeker jets, Soundwave and the cassettes, the Insecticons, the
  1984 Autobot cars and Mini Vehicles and the 1986 movie cast, with separate palettes
  for the toy, the cartoon animation model, the Marvel comic coloring and the Generation
  2 re-release where each exists. Includes 'ggplot2' color and fill scales for discrete
  and continuous data, team palettes that take one color from each member of a combiner
  team, metadata linking each palette to its character, faction, team and reference
  page, and helpers to shortlist palettes that suit categorical, color-blind-safe,
  sequential or diverging use. Hex values are approximations of the toys' plastic
  and paint colors; the package is a fan project and is not affiliated with or endorsed
  by Hasbro or Takara Tomy.
