What is Transformers?
Transformers is a beloved franchise created by Takara Tomy, rooted in the unique concept of "Robots in disguise," where these incredible robotic beings can transform into everyday objects. The franchise began its journey with toys released in the U.S. in 1984, quickly gaining popularity through animated series and comics. The franchise expanded to Japan in 1985, and the cinematic adaptations, directed by Steven Spielberg and Michael Bay from 2007, catapulted the brand to global fame. The latest entry, "Transformers: Rise of the Beasts," opened in August 2023, followed by an exciting new dimension film, "Transformers: ONE," slated for simultaneous release in Japan and the USA in September 2024.
With over 730 million units sold across more than 130 countries as of February 2025, Transformers continues to be a celebrated cultural phenomenon.
