The story follows the Transformers’ arrival on modern-day Earth and their interactions with the human race, as they search for the life-giving AllSpark and continue their ages-old civil war.

Transformers features Sam Witwicky, a plucky teenager who just wants a cool car, but gets more than he bargained for. The beater he and his father take home is actually Bumblebee, an alien robot from the planet Cybertron, who plants Sam down in the middle of a civil war between Bumblebee’s benevolent Autobot comrades and the evil Decepticons who threaten the galaxy’s peace. Both sides are after the AllSpark, a mysterious artifact that landed on Earth ten thousand years ago. The approaching robot-against-robot battle is a coming-of-age moment for Sam, who learns the meaning of his family’s motto,

the rivalry

“One shall stand,”

the Autobots

are one of the primary factions in the Transformers mythos. They usually find themselves defending both their own race and other species against the Decepticons and upholding justice and freedom throughout the galaxy.

They are considered “the good guys” in most, but not in all Transformers stories.

A generally heroic, honorable group, they tend to be dedicated to peace, and feel a need to protect other races from the Decepticons. While the Autobots have usually found themselves outnumbered by the Decepticons, the Autobots have always had home-field advantage, having not only the humans’ military support, but also having more places on Earth to fall back on, while the Decepticons are entirely unwelcome on Earth.

“Time to find out.”

“You have no soul!”

“Is the future of our race not worth a single human life?”

“Who would you be without me, Prime?”

“That is why I have no fear!”

“We were brothers once!”

the decepticons

are one of the primary factions in the Transformers mythos. They are typically concerned with such things as conquering Cybertron, defeating the Autobots, amassing large quantities of energon, developing powerful weaponry, and beating people up.

Not necessarily in that order.

Unlike the Autobots, whose leader is a Prime bearing a Matrix, the Decepticons are led by the most powerful of their ranks.

This tends to cause some conflict, given how generally every Decepticon thinks that they’re the most powerful. Also, the Decepticons are not exactly the most compassionate beings in the universe, but not all fight for greed. More than a few have a sense of honor, while others believe that Cybertron would be better protected by aggressive expansion. Ultimately, the Decepticons desire to protect their homeworld, even if it is at the expense of others. Usually.

Studio Series TOY Line Soundwave Studio Series, underneath the Generations banner, acts as a celebration of over ten years of live-action movies, with characters from every movie represented.

Each toy is numbered, with an indication of their movie of origin. All figures also come with a cardboard backdrop depicting a notable scene from their respective movie. Backdrops from separate figures representing the same scene are designed to be displayed side by side.

With rough robot mode scale as a line-wide goal, each figure is sized in relation to other toys, even in the same size class.

The toyline boosts a greater accuracy than lines previous, due to using relative scale, as mentioned above, and using models in the films for reference as opposed to concept art. Studio Series also explores toys for characters who had none before, or were left to a smaller size class.

The premise behind the Transformers toy line is that an individual toy’s parts can be shifted about to change it from a vehicle, a device, or an animal, to a robot action figure and back again. The taglines “More Than Meets The Eye” and “Robots In Disguise” reflect this ability.

The Transformers toy-line is typically divided into two main factions: the heroic Autobots and their opponents, the evil Decepticons. Transformers toys are sold at a number of price points, and various Transformers series utilize unique play features.

Like previous movie lines, Studio Series contains three main categories; Deluxe, Voyager, and Leader. Deluxe Class figures are about 6 inches tall and sold starting at US$20. Voyager Class figures are slightly larger at about 8 inches tall and sold starting around US$30. Leader Class figures are even larger standing about 10 inches tall and sold starting at about US$50. All figures transforms from vehicle to robot mode in about 15 to 20 steps. Some smaller figures may have less steps while bigger more complex figures may have more steps.

My Collection

Transformers help me shape my childhood and imagination. My love for Transformers started when my uncle introduced them to me when I was 7 years old. When I moved to the US at 9 years old, Transformers toys seems to be everywhere. My mom bought me few of my very first Transformers. I treasured them greatly. I used to often beg my mom and dad to take me to the toy store and ask them if they could buy more Transformers for me. Pretty quickly, I was starting to form a collection.

Playing with each figure was special, I have an unexplanable bond to each toy. Every figure was similar yet different at the same time.

I can remember the transformation of each Transformer by looking at the instructions once. Many memories were made when I created skits for my Transformers battling back and forth. I pretended they could fly all around the house as if they were alive. They helped me expand my imagination. As I grew older, my love more Transformers is unchaged, and I became more capable to hunt for the missing pieces to complete my own collection. As my collection became well established, my parents bought my very own display case. I think over a thousand dollars was spent to become what my collection is today. I became proud of it, the colelction itself and the display.

I like to share and show off my toy collection to friends and visitors and see the amazement on their faces. Transfomrers is absolutley a significant building block to my childhood.

A DREAM Lamborghini Huracán

$150 thousand

The Huracán Coupé’s exterior: form follows function, guaranteeing Lamborghini’s stylistic purity and performance, so it comes as no surprise that the design is inspired by something as essential as a carbon atom.

From hexagons to streamlined Y’s, each of the Huracán’s lines is designed to cut through the air and take your breath away. A sporty and dynamic look, both innovative and unmistakably Lamborghini, built to intensify your emotions.

The Huracán’s name (huracán being the Spanish word for hurricane) is inspired by a Spanish fighting bull. Names from historical Spanish fighting bulls has been the traditional naming scheme of most Lamborghini car models. Huracán was a bull known for its courage that fought in 1879.

Owning a Lamborghini seems to be every boy’s dream. It certainly is one of my dreams to own a supercar as exquisite as a Lamborghini. Although many value the materialistic aspect of these cars, it is the sentimental and emotional values that would be valuable to me. Possession of a Lamborghini or other supercars on the market requires an established amount of wealth. I would like to have one Lamborghini in my collection, as a trophy, as a reminder, as a symbol of achievemnt that I shall be successful and able to afford such beatiful cars.

A thought worth noting is that I do not like driving. Driving feels like a chore, especially in the US where destinations are so far away, the only way one must get around is by driving. I think I will change my mind the moment I have my very own Lamborghini. My enjoyment for driving would grow and sharing the experience with family, friends, and even strangers on the roads would also be enjoyable to me. Till then, the thought of owning a Lamborghini is a dream, a worldwide dream among young boys like me, and also in a way an American Dream.

SUPER DESIGN Lamborghini Aventador $400 thousand Revolutionary thinking is at the heart of every idea from Automobili Lamborghini. Whether it is aerospace-inspired design or technologies applied to the naturally aspirated V12 engine or carbon-fiber structure, going beyond accepted limits is part of our philosophy. The Aventador advances every concept of performance, immediately establishing itself as the benchmark for the super sports car sector. Giving a glimpse of the future today, it comes from a family of supercars already considered legendary. Each and every detail of the Aventador bears the hallmarks of the House of the Raging Bull. It is a true masterpiece of design that expresses dynamism and power, with the carbon-fiber monocoque the jewel in its crown.

In keeping with Lamborghini tradition, the

THE HEXAGON AND THE Y The hexagon and the Y are stylistic elements that have characterized Lamborghini design since the very beginning. From the interior of the Marzal to the front and rear lights of the newest member of the family, the Sián, the iconic elements of the House of Sant’Agata Bolognese give every detail a character that is both sporty and elegant at the same time.

Lamborghinis are so cool. They are so slim and sleek. The designs of these cars are so pleasing to the eye. The hexagons and the Y are well integrated to the design of the cars and these elements can be seen all around from the vents, intakes, windows, mirrors, wheels to the lights. The contours makes the cars feels aggressive yet elegant at the same time. The form of the cars are simply geometric and complex in other cases, overall the design of the cars feels futuristic. Lamborghinis have such a unique design style, along with thier unique engine roars, they make a grand statement on when seen on the road.

Aventador is named after a fighting bull.

ITALIAN INNOVATION Lamborghini Veneno

is a limited production high performance sports car.

Based on the Lamborghini Aventador, the Veneno was developed to celebrate Lamborghini’s 50th anniversary.

$4.5 million

Lamborghinis are expensive and exclusive cars. Some Lamborghinis are built for a specific purpose, to serve as a concept for the next generation of cars, or to celebrate a special anniversary. The amount of time and testing going into the development of each cars is extensive. On top of the long wait time for a new car model, often a limited number of a car is produced, so few as from 50 to 5 total cars. Seeing a Lamborghini is uncommon, coming across an exclusive Lambroghini is rare, being able to own a special Lamborghini would be near improbable, it would be a dream.

18

The Lamborghini Veneno has a top speed of 356 km/h (221 mph) and has a 0–97 km/h (0–60 mph) acceleration time of 2.8 seconds. The car has a braking distance of 30 m (98.0 ft) from 97–0 km/h (60–0 mph), and can produce 1.41 G while cornering.

The Lamborghini Veneno is consistently focused on optimum aerodynamics and cornerning stability, giving the vehicle the authentic, dynamic experience of a racing prototype, yet it is fully certified for the road.

The design of the Veneno is a large departure from the previous styling of Lamborghini models. The design is inspired by Sports prototypes and racing cars. The Y-shaped design elements are a carryover from the Aventador’s design language while the rear wheel arches hark back to the Countach. The vented engine cover improves cooling to the engine, while the extreme aerodynamic elements present on the car signify its track-focused characteristics.

Just like the front end, the rear of the Veneno has also been optimized for underbody aerodynamics and high speed cornering stability. The carbon fiber monocoque is also visible inside the car, most notably in the area of the central tunnel and the sills.

Lamborghini built just five examples of the Veneno Coupé: one for factory testing (dubbed car number zero), one retained for the factory, and three cars for customers, all of which were customised to customer specifications.

In addition to the coupé, only nine units of the roadster were produced.

THE FUTURE

Lamborghini Centenario

$1.9 million

exemplifies the innovative design and engineering skills of the House of the Raging Bull. The finest possible tribute to our founder Ferruccio Lamborghini on the centenary of his birth, it is an homage to his vision and the future he believed in—a vision that we at Lamborghini still embrace.

Lamborghini Centenario: equipped with a 770 CV aspirated V12 engine springing from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.8 seconds, the newly-born Lamborghini car has been produced in a limited edition, for a total of 40 models: 20 Coupés and 20 Roadsters.

The Centenario has been conceived with the purpose of exploring new technological and design opportunities, to look at the future through the lens of innovation.

20

The future holds a bright line of Lamborghinis to come. With the advance of time, technology will improve and result in peak innovation. I hope the future holds faster, sleeker, cooler, and safer Lamborghinis. As I am growing up, exiting childhood, being old enough to drive and own a car, I think about the day of owning my dream car becoming closer and closer. Chasing this dream has now become a motivatonal force for me to work, work hard, and acheive my goals.

Driving in one of these cars would be an exciting experience. Possession of one of these cars would be my ultimate trophy. It would be a reminder to myself of the sucess I hope to have in the future. This is also a reminder to myself to not have materialism and ambition overtake the more important values of sentmentalism and emotions.

Nevertheless, a dream is a dream, it is within my grasp yet it is just out of reach, part of the excitment of a dream is the journey to get there.
