Nowadays, Transformers is known by almost everyone due to the movie series’ success, which started in 2007. However, the history of this franchise began much earlier, more precisely in 1980, when Hasbro bought from the Japanese Takara Tomy the rights to a robot toy line that transformed into vehicles.

Then, in 1984, Hasbro launched the toy line in the North American market under Diaclone and Microman. The name Transformers came about in 1984 when Hasbro and Marvel partnered to release a comic book based on these toys, and later these stories became a TV series of the same name.

The Transformers movie franchise started in 1986. Yet, Transformers: The Film was a failure. As a result, the series had a twenty-one-year hiatus. In 2007, they returned to the big screen with Transformers directed by Michael Bay, responsible for spreading the Transformers name to the five continents in a sweeping way.
