transformerpalettes: Color Palettes Inspired by Transformers Toys, Cartoons and Comics

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.
