The world is never what it seems. So outer space is inhabited not only by people. Among the myriad of star systems, mankind has neighbors. It is generally accepted that humanoid creatures are the main form of life, but this is not so. For many centuries, the fate of our universe depended on artificial intelligence, which is a whole high-tech race of robots - Autobots and Decepticons. Transformers is a series of films and comics about the epic confrontation between these two races.
Autobots and Decepticons
Autobots, according to the plot of the comics, are giant robots that live in the universe of transformers. Created Autobots race of Quintessons. In all comics and films, Autobots appear to their viewers as peaceful, honest and courageous characters. They maintain order in the universe.
Disepticons are a higher stage in the evolution of the Autobots. These warrior robots were created by Primus. This race is not friendly and wants to enslave new galaxies to establish dominance in them.
History of making movies and comics
It's hard to believe, but the story of the most popular Autobots and Decepticons began very modestly. So, all the films about transformers, which raised hundreds of millions of dollars, began with a small toy created in 1980 by a Japanese company. For the first time, a toy called "Mikromen" appeared at a fair in Tokyo, where the Hasbro company became interested in it. So began the serial production of toys. Due to the increased popularity, such large companies as Marvel began to show interest in it, having released the first comics and cartoons about transformers.
Animation
The list of animated series and films about transformers is very impressive. The plot was based on the comic books of the same name developed by Marvel. Since nothing was known about robots, the company began developing its own history of their appearance. Well-known designers worked on creating robots so that they could transform and look more attractive to children.
