A toy line that was launched in 1984, robotic humanoid characters that could transform into vehicles and other objects such as semis or boomboxes. Their slogan was "more than meets the eye".
A TV show was launched the same year. The show featured pretty nifty writing for its time. Revolved around battling robot races from the planet Cybertron, the Autobots (good guys) and Decepticons (bad guys). They eventually crash-landed on earth and continued their battle for objects called "Energon Cubes", which were the power source for all transformers. The Autobots, led by Optimus Prime, were aided by human teenager Spike and his father Sparkplug (yep, those were their names) in their many battles against the Decepticons, led by Megatron. Your basic classic story of good vs. evil.
Also spawned an animated feature in the late 80s, featuring the death of Optimus Prime, and his resurrection in season 3.
Spawned various spin-offs such as "Beast Wars", "Transformers Armada", and "Transformers: Cybertron". But the best is the original.
A live-action feature film is coming in July 2007, under the direction of Michael Bay, which, depending on your taste in movies, could go either way.

There's more than meets the eye.

Transforming robots from the planet cybertron, depending on your view point either "more than meets the eyes" or "robots in disguise"

Show that was good in its first two seasons, then Megatron turned into a purple retard and Prime died. Beast Wars sucked, as did Beast Machines. The franchise is currently being raped by the Jap(ane)s(e).

An really good excuse to watch the luscious Megan Fox bending over a car

Awesome cartoon when considering old sk00l, but n00b is su><><0rz.

1.) A Michael Bay film liked by a great deal of people

2.) Something used in comparisons in hopes of being upbeat even in the worst situations

transformers is when you have sex whilst watching transformers because the girl is bored watching it and wants to be entertained.

The transformers is centered on two factions of warring alien genitals which are called the Autococks and the Deceptishlongs.
Autobot, a faction of sensual robots from the planet Cyberclunge, they are usually the main protagonists in the fictional universe of the Transformers, The Deceptishlongs are usually depicted as the antagonists in the fictional universes of the Transformers and the enemies of the Autococks.

Both Autococks and Deceptishlongs are genital robots that can transform into dicks, shlongs and other familiar genital like objects.......
