One might safely assume that our readership is split into two camps: those who played with Hasbro Transformers as children from the 1980s onward and those who dutifully bought them for those children, while slightly baffled by the toys’ phenomenon in all its spin-off guises—animated TV shows, comic books, movies, and video games.
For the uninitiated, Transformers are humanoid robots that can transform into vehicles, animals, and other objects. Discovered in concept by Hasbro at the Tokyo Toy Fair in 1983, they were on show as a Japanese toy line called Microman, by the Takara company, and have been going strong ever since. It’s inevitably more complicated than this, but, broadly, Transformers come in two flavors, Autobots (good) and Decepticons (evil).
