We’ve all watched in awe as the iconic Autobots and Decepticons clashed on screen, fighting for the fate of their worlds. Since its initial launch as a line of transforming robot toys in 1984, the Transformers franchise has evolved into a cultural phenomenon.
Its expansion includes animated television series, comic books, and of course, sensational live-action blockbuster films. The most recent of these cinema gems is “Transformers: Rise of the Beasts”, which has breathed new life into the series and has continued its tradition of visually stunning and dynamic action.
Transformers: A Quick Overview

The Transformers franchise originated from a line of transforming toys designed by Japanese company Takara and rebranded for the Western market by Hasbro. The uniqueness of these toys lay in their ability to change from robots into vehicles or animals, thereby giving birth to two main factions: the heroic Autobots, led by Optimus Prime, and the villainous Decepticons, under the command of Megatron.
This simple yet ingenious concept transcended the toy market, transforming into a compelling narrative about a race of alien robots fighting a civil war, which eventually finds its way to Earth. This narrative formed the basis for various cartoons, comics, and movies, all contributing to the rich mythology of the Transformers universe.
Rise of the Beasts: A New Chapter

In 2023, the Transformers universe took a bold leap with the release of “Transformers: Rise of the Beasts.” This new installment not only expanded the canon of the cinematic universe but also introduced new fan-favorite characters from the Beast Wars spin-off series. The creative team behind this film capitalized on advanced CGI technology, ensuring these new characters, like Cheetor, Optimus Primal, and others, seamlessly fit into the visually rich environment that is a hallmark of the Transformers franchise.
Rise of the Beasts managed to tell a fresh story while staying true to the essence of Transformers. Its visually compelling scenes, thrilling action sequences, and meaningful character developments once again demonstrated why this franchise remains a beloved part of global pop culture.

Fun Fact: The Transformers and Rubik’s Cube Connection

In an intriguing twist of fate, the Transformers franchise has an unexpected connection to another pop culture icon: the Rubik’s Cube. Ernő Rubik, the creator of the Rubik’s Cube, is a renowned Hungarian inventor, architect, and professor of architecture. Meanwhile, the Transformers were initially conceived as part of the Rubik’s Cube craze in the 1980s.
The story goes that the idea for Transformers came about when Hasbro executives visited a Tokyo toy fair in 1983. They noticed two separate toy lines – Diaclone and Micro Change – both produced by Takara. The toys in these lines could transform into everyday items or vehicles, just like the Rubik’s Cube’s transformative nature.
Finding the concept fascinating and seeing a potential market due to the success of the Rubik’s Cube, Hasbro bought the rights to these toys, unified them under a single storyline, and rebranded them as Transformers. Today, both the Rubik’s Cube and Transformers continue to challenge and inspire us with their capacity for change and adaptation.
