Can anyone tell what transformer jr's are?

They are simplified scaled-down G1 TFs. Launched only in Japan, they come in a 3-box set which consists of Fort Max, Optimus Prime and Chromedome.

This is all news to me. How do the compare with WSTs, both size-wise and transformation/articulation-wise.

They came in a 3-pack.
I believe it was Prime, Chromedome, and Fortress Maximus.

Poor articulation, slightly smaller than the current deluxe-class figures, Prime is literally just scaled down.

any pics?

my cousin used to have the prime. the trailer is just folded cardboard, and the head is detachable, instead of foldable.

also, i'm not sure if these came in three packs. my cousin only had the optimus prime, and i remember seeing a rodimus prime version complete with foldable cardboard trailer on sale in a local mall.

There were more than just those three, and here's the list:

Transformers Jr. Series from Cobra Island Toys. Take note not all names are correct, namely those of the smaller partners.

http://www.transformertoys.co.uk/toy-gallery.php - this gallery is slightly better. A nice comparison on the Soundwaves.

There was also a truly horrible Galvatron Jr. I snagged an ebay pic of it. It's bad PVC, apparently.

It's also worth noting that there was another Rodimus Jr made. The first was just PVC like Galy and didn't transform. They second does transform. So ... if you think you have all the Rodimuses (that transform) ...

Edit: Oh, and in the show they were kids who got to turn into TFs.
