Transformers

## Introduction

*Transformers* is a media franchise produced by American toy company Hasbro and Japanese toy company Takara Tomy. It primarily follows the Autobots and the Decepticons, two alien robot factions at war that can transform into other forms, such as vehicles and animals. The franchise encompasses toys, animation, comic books, video games and films. As of 2011, it generated more than ¥2 trillion ($25 billion) in revenue, making it one of the highest-grossing media franchises of all time.

**Synopsis:** **Transformers** is a franchise originating in 1984 containing numerous toylines, cartoons, animes, mangas, comics, text stories, video games, films, and OVAs. The plot usually revolves around the conflict between two races of robots, the Autobots and the Decepticons both from the planet Cybertron. As indicated by the name, they can transform into various alternate forms.

**Transformers** franchises have coexisted with one another, targeting varying demographics through different forms of media. (e.g. the 2007 film franchise and *Transformers Animated* both running through 2008 in different ways). Additionally, each franchise has the potential to evolve the brand further, taking characters, toys, or concepts in a radically different direction. What one franchise does can affect future storytelling decisions in other franchises — the rise of the AllSpark as a plot device, for instance, evolved out of its prominent usage in the live-action film series.

Transformers is an ever-expanding multiverse. Its cosmology divides its multiverse into various **"universal clusters"** which are themselves divided into numerous **"universal streams"** (countless divergences, timelines, etc.) While as many as fifteen quadrillion universes are currently known to exist, only a minute fraction of these universal streams have had their official Axiom Nexus catalogue classification revealed. These are those streams, and the continuity family or individual continuities they refer to.

## **Terminology**

The Cybertronians are a technologically advanced species of autonomous robotic life forms that originate from the planet Cybertron. They are a race of machines that possess a unique feature known as a "spark" that is located within their bodies. This spark serves as the source of their life force and allows them to be rebuilt and repaired, no matter the extent of damage they have sustained. However, if their spark is extinguished or destroyed, the Cybertronian is unable to be rebuilt and is considered permanently dead.

One of the most notable characteristics of the Cybertronians is their ability to change their form. This ability, known as transformation, allows them to adapt to different environments and situations. However, ancient Transformer governments sought to suppress this individuality by implementing a caste system known as functionism. This system organizes Cybertronians and their vocations based on their natural alternate mode, or their ability to transform into different forms. For example, a Transformer with a bulldozer alternate mode would be limited to performing construction jobs, while a Transformer who transforms into a microscope would be limited to a role as a scientist.

There are various subspecies of Cybertronians that exist, many of which have been known to inhabit colony worlds sponsored by the Thirteen Primes, who are a group of powerful Cybertronian leaders. These subspecies may have different abilities, characteristics, or forms, but all possess the ability to transform and carry a spark within their bodies. This spark is what makes them Cybertronians.
