TRANSFORMERS
Transformers (トランスフォーマー Toransufōmā?) is an entertainment
franchise co-produced between the Japanese Takara Tomy and American Hasbro toy
companies. Initially developed as a brand by Hasbro and made up of renamed,
rebranded transforming toys from Takara's Diaclone and Microman toylines, the
franchise began in 1984 with the Transformers toy line, and centers on factions
of transforming alien robots (often the Autobots and the Decepticons) in an
endless struggle for dominance or eventual peace. In its decades-long history,
the franchise has expanded to encompass comic books, animation, video games and
films.
The term "Generation 1" covers both the animated
television series The Transformers and the comic book series of the same name,
which are further divided into Japanese and British spin-offs, respectively.
Sequels followed, such as the Generation 2 comic book and Beast Wars TV series,
which became its own mini-universe. Generation 1 characters underwent two
reboots with Dreamwave in 2001 and IDW Publishing in 2005, also as a remastered
series. There have been other incarnations of the story based on different toy
lines during and after the 20th-Century. The first was the Robots in Disguise
series, followed by three shows (Armada, Energon, and Cybertron) that
constitute a single universe called the "Unicron Trilogy". A
live-action film was also released in 2007, with a sequel in 2009, a second
sequel in 2011, and a third sequel coming out in 2014, again distinct from
previous incarnations, while the Transformers: Animated series merged concepts
from the G1 story-arc, the 2007 live-action film and the "Unicron
Trilogy". Transformers: Prime previously aired on The Hub.
Although initially a separate and competing franchise started
in 1983, Tonka's Gobots became the intellectual property of Hasbro after their
buyout of Tonka in 1991. Subsequently, the universe depicted in the animated
series Challenge of the GoBots and follow-up film GoBots: Battle of the Rock
Lords was retroactively established as an alternate universe within the
Transformers franchise.
In 2007, a live action film of Transformers was directed by
Michael Bay and produced by Steven Spielberg. The main focus of the film
revolved around the creator of the Transformers, which in the film is described
as the Allspark, as well as their home planet Cybertron. The film portrayed the
Allspark as a large cube of energy that can create life from mechanical
objects. During the Cybertronian Civil War, the Allspark was sent off the
planet and eventually landed on Earth, where it was discovered by the U.S.
government and the Hoover Dam was built over it as a top-secret research
facility and government base. Megatron searched for the Allspark and eventually
found Earth, but he crash-landed in the Arctic and was frozen. Many years later
he was found and also brought to the same facility as the Allspark. With their
homeworld ravaged by war, the Autobots were dispersed throughout space. But a
group of Autobots led by Optimus Prime traveled to Earth in search of the
Allspark, in an attempt to revitalize their planet. However, the Decepticons
also race towards Earth to find the Allspark, as well as their leader,
Megatron. The film depicts the battle over the Allspark on Earth. The Transformers
are depicted as mechanical beings that can reconstruct their outside appearance
through scanning or touching a mechanical object of relative size to each Transformer's
body. Steven Spielberg, who is credited as executive producer, said that
Transformers is a dream come true because, he explains, since it started
marketing the Toys conceived the idea of giving them life in a summer movie.
"And here's the movie", he says. "I must
confess that I am a fan of Transformers since they left, rather than to buy
them for my children, then bought the comics and toys." Spielberg, other
producers had the same idea of bringing the Transformers movie, as the former
studio executive Lorenzo DiBonaventura, as well as Hasbro's chief operating
officer, Brian Goldner, among others. Spielberg and his team decided to find a
director with sufficient skill and experience to take on the challenge of
combining a fantastic story, special effects and lots of action. "I
thought Michael (Bay) because I consider it perfect for Transformers. You need
to touch and a clear vision of how it could be this film, "says
Spielberg.[citation needed]
To market the film, IDW Publishing published Transformers:
Movie Prequel. The comic expanded upon Optimus Prime's referral to Megatron as
"brother", revealing they co-ruled Cybertron before Megatron's
corruption. Furthermore, Optimus sent the Allspark into space in a last-ditch
attempt to defeat Megatron. Megatron is responsible for Bumblebee's muteness in
the film, as a direct result of distracting him from the Allspark's launch.
Alan Dean Foster also wrote the prequel novel Transformers: Ghosts of
Yesterday. The novel shows that Starscream hated Megatron and wanted him to
never be found, so he could remain as leader, explaining Megatron's line in the
film: "You failed me, yet again, Starscream." Blackout is also
depicted as deeply loyal to Megatron, explaining his line "All hail
Megatron!" However, the novel contradicts the film with Megatron's body
moved into the Hoover Dam in 1969, instead of the 1930s. IDW plans to continue
the film's fictional universe with additional prequels and sequels.
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, the sequel to the 2007
film, made its debut in theaters on June 24, 2009.
As a preemptive measure, Paramount and DreamWorks announced a
July 1, 2011 release date for a third Transformers film before completion of
Revenge of the Fallen. Bay responded, "I said I was taking off a year from
Transformers. Paramount made a mistake in dating Transformers 3—they asked me
on the phone—I said yes to July 1—but for 2012—whoops! Not 2011! That would
mean I would have to start prep in September. No way. My brain needs a break
from fighting robots." As in Revenge of the Fallen, Orci refused to
guarantee whether he and Kurtzman would return to a sequel, because "we
risk getting stale". Orci has mentioned he would like to introduce Unicron
"for scale's sake". The co-writer also said focusing on more Triple
Changers would be interesting.
On October 1, 2009, Michael Bay revealed that Transformers 3
had already gone into pre-production, and its planned release was back to its
original date of July 1, 2011 instead of 2012. Also Ehren Kruger was said to be
again involved in the writing, and Shia LaBeouf to reprise his roles as Sam.
Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, having written the first two films, did not
return for the third installment in the series.
In a hidden extra for the Blu-ray version of Revenge of the
Fallen, Bay expressed his intention to make Transformers 3 not necessarily
larger than Revenge of the Fallen, but instead go deeper into the mythos, give
it more character development, and make it darker and more emotional. The video
also shows images of Unicron.
