First look at last knight story and toys The story continued where Age Of Extinction left off.

Halfway through space, Autobot commander Optimus Prime was captured and tortured by his Creator with the condition that if he is to save his own kind and live, he will have to betray all humans and Autobots who allied with them.

Meanwhile on Earth, his fellow Autobot Bumblebee and human saviour Cade Yeager forms an unlikely alliance with an English Lord and Oxford Professor to uncover the secret past of Transformers in order to save the future.

Question is will they succeed?

Even it means fighting and defeating the now single-blooded and ruthless Optimus they once looked to as inspiration and depended upon?

How it all began

According to Wikipedia, Transformers is a media franchise produced by American toy company Hasbro and Japanese toy company Takara Tomy.

Initially a line of transforming toys rebranded from Takara's Diaclone and Microman toylines, the franchise began in 1984 with the Transformers toy line.

The story focuses on 2 factions of transforming alien robots called Autobots and the Decepticons in an endless battles for victory.

In its decades-long history, the franchise has expanded to encompass comic books, animation, video games and films.

Generation 1 or G1 covers both the original animated television series The Transformers and the comic book series of the same name, which are further divided into Japanese and British spin-offs respectively.

Sequels followed, such as the Generation 2 comic book and Beast Wars TV series, which became its own mini-universe.

ALL ABOUT TRANSFORMERS

Generation 1 characters underwent two reboots with Dreamwave in 2001 and IDW Publishing in 2005, also as a remastered series.

There have been other incarnations of the story based on different toy lines during and after the 20th-Century.

The first was the Robots in Disguise series, followed by 3 shows Armada, Energon and

Cybertron.

They constitute a single universe called the Unicron Trilogy.

For movies, the first animated feature Transformers The Movie was released in 1986 between Seasons 2 and 3 while the live-action version was finally released in 2007, followed by sequels in 2009, 2011 and 2014.

The Transformers Animated Series merged concepts from the G1 story-arc, the 2007 live-action film and the Unicron Trilogy.

Transformers Prime previously aired on The Hub. Although initially a separate and competing franchise started in 1983, Tonka's Gobots became the intellectual property of Hasbro after their buyout of Tonka in 1991.

Subsequently, the universe depicted in the animated series Challenge Of The Gobots and follow-up film GoBots: Battle Of The Rock Lords was retroactively established as an alternate universe within the Transformers franchise.

Birth of transformers

Before the dawn of time, the One - also known as the Source and the sentient core of the Universe - is an extra-dimensional entity in whom order and chaos exist in perfect harmony.

The One created the astral being Unicron, which was then split into half. One remained Unicron while the other became Primus.

While Primus embodied order and justice upon his birth, Unicron was left with chaos and evil, which gave him a sense of fallen existence.

Thus began the long-time battle between the two. Later their rampaging feud brought them to the physical world where they were accidentally trapped inside metallic elements – which eventually paved their way to become gigantic robots.

Then Primus turned into the planet Cybertron and created the original 13 Primes, who were each infused with a fragment of Primus' life essence known as the Autobot Matrix Of Leadership, to help himself in his war against Unicron.

When the war was over, Unicron was sucked into a black hole and vanished from reality until Transformers The Movie in 1986.

Meanwhile, Primus entered his eons-long slumber while the original 13 Primes began to create other robots and thus began the Transformers story.

3

GENERATION ONE Generation One is a retroactive term for the Transformers characters that appeared between 1984 and 1993.

The Transformers began with the 1980s Japanese toy lines Microman and Diaclone.

The former utilized varying humanoid-type figures while the latter presented robots able to transform into everyday vehicles, electronic items or weapons.

Takara Tomy has completely redesigned the newest Masterpiece Convoy for this figure release and what an amazing job they did.

Convoy, or Optimus Prime as many know him, is fully transformable and comes with his trailer which also transforms.

Convoy, as leader of the Autobots, carries the Matrix in his chest and the figure's chest opens up to reveal it showing the amazing detail.

Leader of the Autobots, Optimus Prime is the largest, strongest and wisest of all Autobots.

Jazz loves Earth culture and always looking to learn more.

His knowledge of Earth is what makes him the indispensable right-hand man to Optimus Prime aka second-incommand.

Known as Skyfire in animated series Once good friends and now arch-rival to Starscream after discovering the latter’s real intentions to join and fight for Decepticons.

Last line of defense for the Autobots, Omega Supreme is a titanic guardian robot capable of instilling fear and panic into the sparks of Decepticons that dare face him on the field of battle.

Autobots' first combiner group based on the old Cybertonian jets they found abandoned on their home planet.

Seeing humans as if they are his own children, Defensor will do anything to protect them.

For he is a combination of all 5 Autobot protection, search and rescue vehicles together.

One of the new Decepticon jets introduced in Transformers Season 2 along with Ramjet and Thrust.

Thrust rattles the air with the roar of his jets.

Mid-air collisions are Ramjet's specialty.

Makes little difference if target is opponent or not, he will crash into it for fun.

22

Creating confusion is Astrotrain's speciality.

One of the first Decepticon and Transformers’ triple changers that switch from train to robot to shuttle and back.

Ability as elite Triple Changer to rapidly transform makes Blizwing a prime asset to Megatron and his fellow Decepticons but danger to Autobots and humans.

A clanking and crushing terror that destroys all in his path the ultimate Decepticon weapon if he was not so confused by the opposing thoughts of the 5 Stunticons who formed him.

23

Revelling only in war and destruction, Bruticus is a towering combination of 5 Combaticons - a group of World War II military vehicles and aircraft found abandoned by Starscream on the island he was exiled to by Megatron for his defiance.

Sandstorm lives for action.

His only real fear is a fear of boredom.

26

If not for the high-octane fuel he supplies to them, other Decepticons would call Tankor a dirtbag.

A sleazy liar who will steal or manipulate anyone so long as it helps him get his way.

Formerly bound to Soundwave as a partner and slave, Overkill was often overlooked by enemy and ally alike.

27

Combined form of Terrorcons as in commander Hun-Gurrr, Blot, Cutthroat, Rippersnapper and Sinnertwin, Abominus has a core of malevolent rage equal to the most savage beasts in the galaxy including Predaking.

28

Comprising of 5 Decepticon animal warriors called Predacons, Predaking is the perfect gestalt or combiner warrior.

Powerful, remorseless, obedient, and nearly unstoppable, he hunts Autobots with a predatory intensity absent from even the most diabolical of his Decepticon combiners.

29

This is the official Hasbro Platinum Edition reissue of the legendary Decepticon Trypticon!

Trypticon is the ultimate Decepticon weapon, capable of converting between 3 forms, each more massive than the last.

Japanese version of Powermaster Optimus Prime.

While the toy made its debut in 1989 as part of Transformers Pretenders and Powermasters merchanise, the character came into prominence in Japanese animation series Transformers Masterforce.

Leader of the Autobots in Transformers Victory and regarded as the best swordsrobot in Transformers history, Star Saber ascended from humble beginnings.

37

The latest addition to Transformers Victory Autobots force.

Victory Leo is in fact the reconstructed version of God Ginrai known to many Transformers fans as Powermaster Optimus Prime.

That was after God Ginrai got hit by the Decepticon Emperor Deathsaurus's cannon blast in trying to protect his comrade Star Saber.

As Victory Leo, his personality changed.

As compared to his rational and wise former self, he now became short-tempered, sensitive and violent.

Eventually he got along with Autobots and combined with their leader Star Saber into Victory Saber.

38

The combined form of the 5 Aerialbots, Superion is by far the largest and most powerful G1 gestalt warrior.

42

Beast wars The story focused on a small group of Maximals - descendents of Autobots led by Optimus Primal and Predacons - descendents of new Decepticons led by Megatron.

Taking place sometime during the 4 million year period in which the Autobots and Decepticons were in suspended animation from the first episode of the original Transformers animation which forces them to take organic beast forms in order to function without going into stasis lock.

Young and untested, Optimus Primal was a mere captain of an exploration ship when he and his crew were diverted offcourse to pursue a stolen Predacon ship under the leadership of his arch-nemesis Megatron.

Cheetor was on the mark when he said that Rhinox was the best of them.

He is a Renaissance warrior.

Intelligent, massive, strong, and stalwart, there are few Maximals one could depend on more.

Primarily used for recon and surveillance due to her aerial alternate mode, Airazor's talents are a great asset to the Maximal cause.

She is calm and confident, but also adventurous and brave, with a healthy supply of dry humor.

Third party Third Party Transformers are toys created by third party companies – not associated with Hasbro nor Takara into enhanced versions of their original G1 counterparts.

I first heard of these in 2014 even though they have been going on for several years now since 2010.

One of the most popular concepts they used are the infamous Transformers Combiners – groups of 3-6 robots who can combine into one giant super robot.

Apparently Hasbro and Takara are aware of these but whether they will eventually take legal action against those companies for copyrights infringement are still open to debate at this point of writing.

Given the fact that most of these third party toys are proving to be more popular with fans than original Transformers given their enhancements in combining, postures, looks, weapons and accessories.

Among all the third party Transformers toys, Shuraking impresses me the most.

Not only it is the largest of all combiners, its concepts and designs in looks, weapons and accessories are very close to the G1 Dinobots appearance.

Armed with twin gigantic battle swords and missile launchers on its right arm, Shuraking is Autobots’ ultimate weapon against all Decepticon combiners put together.

Designed by GCreation based in China.

Including his primitive counterpart Predaking – also known as Feral and Neo Rex in rival company Mastermind Creations.

48

Leader of the Dinobots, Wrath also known as Grimlock in G1 Transformers series..

Transforms from tyrannosaurus to robot to the main body of Shuraking - the largest and most powerful combiner in the history of Transformers and first created by 3rd party company outside Hasbro.

Besides the large energo sword and twin-barrelled rocket launcher, he is also armed with a giant shield which forms Shuraking's chestplate

Besides GCreation Shuraking, there is Toyworld Dinoking.

Still they have now released all 5 Dinobots to public.

Dinobot commander Corelock comes with both weapons and combiner accessories.

But if you want the Dino battlesword, you need to get it separately online.

Like GCreation, all 5 Dinobots are sold separately and much bigger than their G1 counterparts.

58

AGE OF EXTINCTION The last movie to be featured in 2014 at the time of writing this, Age Of Extinction took place 5 years after the events of Dark Of The Moon.

In the wake of Chicago Invasion by Decepticons and humans success in defeating them with the help of Autobots, the US government views Transformers as a major threat in general.

Despite the differences brewing in the political arena, a secret service known as the Cemetery Wind was formed to hunt down and destroy all remaining robots whether they are Autobots or Decepticons.

Realizing they could not match the robots in strength and firepower, they enlisted the help of former Decepticon now turned bounty hunter Lockdown and his troops.

The secret ambush decimated more Autobots than Decepticons as a result and Optimus Prime and his remaining soldiers were forced into hiding all over Earth.

Until a compassionate human scientist Cade Yeager discovered him as a truck by chance.

Dark OF the moon Taking place 3 years after the second live action movie Revenge Of The Fallen, Dark Of The Moon focuses on the original Autobots leader - Sentinel Prime and the darkness that threatens humans after his wakening from decades of coma.

What started out as a simple rescue mission by Optimus Prime and his Autobots to restore their predecessor turns out to be a disaster as Sentinel Prime soon reveals his allegiance to Decepticons instead to restore their home planet Cybertron to its former glory.

And Sentinel’s plan to leave Cybertron was not to escape the war that ruined it but to rendezvous with Decepticons leader Megatron who had departed for Earth first before any other Transformer.

Given the circumstances and several Autobots casualties including his trusted second-in-command Ironhide, Optimus Prime is forced to decide between killing his former mentor and saving our world.

Main character and leader of Autobots before his student Optimus, Sentinel Prime is supposed to be their saviour after being awakened by the latter from decades of coma.

Based on Transformers - Dark Of The Moon movie, the Hasbro Transformers Ultimate Optimus Prime Figure is the premium movie-adapted Transformers toy on the market.

HATCHET

CROWBAR

CRANKCASE

REVENGE OF the FALLEN Sequel to Transformers first live action movie, Revenge Of The Fallen focuses very much on 2 characters.

One is The Fallen – who actually founded Decepticons after betraying his fellow robotic brothers - the 13 Primes - whom Autobot leader Optimus Prime is the descendent of.

The other is Optimus who sacrificed his life for human friend and main character in the last movie - Sam Witwicky - in his rescue mission against Decepticons.

Because of that, Sam resolves to make amends by searching for the Autobot Matrix Of Leadership as the key to reviving Optimus, clearing his name and defending Earth from the Decepticons’ attack once again.

78

After his resurrection by Sam Witwicky from death and Jetfire's willingness to sacrifice his parts to make him stronger, Optimus Prime rises to the challenge of the final battle against Megatron and The Fallen in his new body armor.

Bumblebee and Sam were best friends almost from the moment they first met face to face.

Equipped with an assault rifle and projectile-firing crossbow, the latter two of which serve as Ironhide's TMs heavily modified Topkick truck mode as well as roof-mounted gun and bullbar respectively.

Built to replace decreased Jazz in the first movie, Sideswipe is every bit as good if not better with his slick moves and transformation abilities.

Arcee jumped at the chance to join up with Ironhide and the other Decepticon hunters on Earth.

She proved such an effective warrior that she was quickly given command of her own strike team, made up of robots similar to her in attitude and design.

Racing across the sands of the northern Sahara desert, the roar of his engine echoing off the evershifting dunes, Autobot Ratchet charges towards the inevitable confrontation with Megatron and his assembled Decepticon army.

Young but eager, Mudflap has wanted to be a full-fledged warrior under the command of Optimus Prime for as long as he can remember.

Because he is slightly less hyperactive than his brother Mudflap, Autobot Skids has always thought of himself as the smart one.

82

Autobot Skids and Mudflap have always been close, but this is a little ridiculous.

Wheelie never really wanted to be a Decepticon.

His tiny size makes him an ideal spy, and even though he does not like or agree with the Decepticons, they scare him so much he does not know what to do except obey.

True leader of Decepticons since he created them himself centuries ago since betraying his 12 Prime brothers.

Now he finds he must return to the primitive and flesh-slug infected planet on which his quest began.

Trapped in the black, crushing depths of the sea, his mind inert in the grip of stasis lock, Megatron knew nothing of the desperate search mounted for his remains by the other Decepticons.

The moment his sensor net registered Megatron going offline, Starscream knew the battle was over, and the All Spark lost.

Like his older twin brother Blackout in the first live action movie. Grindor is a born soldier, highly talented combatant and an instinctive strategist.

85

Within minutes, communications, data traffic, weather information and highresolution spy photography flood his sensor net.

The ultimate Decepticon weapon has arrived on Earth and nothing will ever be the same.

Constructicon Devastator is the first combiner and biggest robot ever-towering above Autobots and Decepticons alike.

Transformers Transformers is a 2007 American science fiction action film based on the Transformers toy line.

The film, which combines computer animation with live-action, is directed by Michael Bay, with Steven Spielberg serving as executive producer.

It is the first instalment of the live-action Transformers film series starring Shia LaBeouf as Sam Witwicky, a teenager who gets caught up in a war between the heroic Autobots and the villainous Decepticons, two factions of alien robots who can disguise themselves by transforming into everyday machinery, primarily vehicles.

The Autobots intend to use the All Spark, the object that created their robotic race, in an attempt to rebuild Cybertron and end the war while the Decepticons desire control of the All Spark with the intention of using it to build an army by giving life to the machines of Earth.

Tyrese Gibson, Josh Duhamel, Anthony Anderson, Megan Fox, Rachael Taylor, John Turturro, and Jon Voight also star while voice actors Peter Cullen and Hugo Weaving voice Optimus Prime and Megatron respectively.

88

The Transformers Movie Leader Optimus Prime is ready to rule the universe.

This Transformers technology is designed to enhance vehicle-to-robot conversion with partially animated mechanical triggers that activate the final shift to battle mode.

Sent to Earth by Optimus Prime ahead of the other Autobots, Bumblebee's job is to do what he does best.
