We here at CanMag can only assume that Transformers will be one of the biggest movies of the year. The only catch is that not many other sites found room for the film in their Top Ten lists. Why is this? Well, maybe they just need a crash course on the world of Transformers.
Transformers Crash Course
If you are one of the many who are absolutely in love with the Transformers trailers/spots but have no idea on what the story entails, the good people over at WizardUniverse have posted a great A to Z crash course for the franchise.
Autobots: These alien robots are the good guys, and they’ve come to Earth to stop the evil Decepticons. While there are hundreds of Autobots in the mythology, and they come in all forms, only five—all of them cars—appear in the film.
Cybertron: For millennia, the home planet of the Transformers has been embroiled in a civil war between its two main factions, the Autobots and Decepticons. While it’s unconfirmed, there is a good chance that we will see Cybertron as part of a flashback in the film.
Decepticons: There are eight of these age-old enemies of the Autobots on Earth, most disguised as military vehicles, including a jet, a tank, a helicopter and a minesweeper vehicle. Two smaller agents take the form of a CD player and a robotic scorpion.
Energon: In the “Transformers” cartoon, this source of power (it usually came in cubes) was often the resource that the two factions clashed over. In the film, the goal is a map to the life-giving Allspark, burned onto a pair of glasses owned by the ancestor of young Sam Witwicky.
