About transformer

Transformers is a mecha media franchise produced by American toy company Hasbro and Japanese toy company Takara Tomy. It primarily follows the heroic Autobots led by Optimus Prime and the villainous Decepticons led by Optimus Prime's arch-enemy Megatron, the 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 in revenue, making it one of the highest-grossing media franchises of all time. Theatrically-released Transformers films, including the live-action film series, make up the 15th-highest-grossing film series, with a total of $5.42 billion grossed over nine films to date. Ownership of the franchise is currently split between Hasbro and Tomy.
