transformers

Founded in 1984 by American toy company Hasbro in partnership with Japanese manufacturer Takara, Transformers is a globally recognized media and toy franchise. Originally adapted from Takara's Diaclone and Micro Change lines, the brand revolutionized the toy industry with its shape-shifting robot action figures that convert into vehicles, animals, and everyday objects. The franchise is anchored by the eternal conflict between the heroic Autobots and the villainous Decepticons, a narrative initially developed by Marvel Comics to give the toys a rich backstory.
