Transformers

Transformers is the long-running robot franchise created by Hasbro and Takara Tomy. Its core idea is the rivalry between sentient transforming robots, most famously the heroic Autobots and the villainous Decepticons.

Across toys, animation, comics, films and games, Transformers is known for characters who change between robot forms and vehicle, beast or object modes. Optimus Prime, Megatron, Bumblebee, Starscream, Arcee and Windblade are among the franchise’s most recognisable characters, with each continuity reinterpreting Cybertron, Earth and the relationship between robots and humans.
