The Marvel comic establishes early on that Prime wields the Creation Matrix, which gives life to machines.
EUTRON TRANSFORMER SERIES
The TV series would also differ wildly from the origins Budiansky had created for the Dinobots, the Decepticon turned Autobot Jetfire (known as Skyfire on TV ), the Constructicons (who combine to form Devastator), and Omega Supreme. Shockwave is loyal to Megatron in the TV series, keeping Cybertron in a stalemate during his absence, but in the comic book he attempts to take command of the Decepticons. Marvel interpreted the Autobots as destroying a rogue asteroid approaching Cybertron. The TV series shows the Autobots looking for new energy sources, and crash landing as the Decepticons attack. Produced by Sunbow Productions and Marvel Productions, later Hasbro Productions, from the start it contradicted Budiansky's backstories. The Transformers TV series began around the same time.
EUTRON TRANSFORMER PLUS
The Marvel comic was originally part of the main Marvel Universe, with appearances from Spider-Man and Nick Fury, plus some cameos, as well as a visit to the Savage Land. The primary concept of Generation One is that the heroic Optimus Prime, the villainous Megatron, and their finest soldiers crash land on pre-historic Earth in the Ark and the Nemesis before awakening in 1985, Cybertron hurtling through the Neutral zone as an effect of the war. Kawamori came up with the idea of transforming mechs while working on the Diaclone and Macross franchises in the early 1980s (such as the VF-1 Valkyrie in Macross and Robotech), with his Diaclone mechs later providing the basis for Transformers. The Transformers mecha were largely designed by Shōji Kawamori, the creator of the Japanese mecha anime franchise Macross (which was adapted into the Robotech franchise in North America). Unhappy with O'Neil's work (although O'Neil created the name " Optimus Prime"), Shooter chose Bob Budiansky to create the characters. Marvel Comics was hired by Hasbro to create the backstory editor-in-chief Jim Shooter wrote an overall story, and gave the task of creating the characters to writer Dennis O'Neil. Hasbro bought the Micro Change and Diaclone toys, and partnered with Takara. They presented robots able to transform into everyday vehicles, electronic items or weapons. The Transformers began with the 1980s Japanese toy lines Micro Change and Diaclone. Generation One is a retroactive term for the Transformers characters that appeared between 19. Spider-Man battles Megatron on the cover of The Transformers #3 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 robot superhero storyline. In 2018, Transformers: Cyberverse debuted, once again, distinct from the previous incarnations.Īlthough 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. For most of the 2010s, in an attempt to mitigate the wave of reboots, the "Aligned" continuity was established. The first was the Robots in Disguise series, followed by three shows ( Armada, Energon, and Cybertron) that constitute a single universe called the "Unicron Trilogy".Ī live-action film series started in 2007, again distinct from previous incarnations, while the Transformers: Animated series merged concepts from the G1 continuity, the 2007 live-action film and the "Unicron Trilogy". There have been other incarnations of the story based on different toy lines during and after the 20th century. Generation 1 characters underwent two reboots with Dreamwave in 2001 and IDW Publishing in 2005, with a third starting in 2019. Sequels followed, such as the Generation 2 comic book and Beast Wars TV series, which became its own mini-universe. The term " Generation 1" covers both the animated television series The Transformers and the comic book series of the same name, which are further divided into Japanese, British and Canadian spin-offs, respectively. The franchise began in 1984 with the Transformers toy line, comprising transforming mecha toys from Takara's Diaclone and Micro Change toylines rebranded for Western markets. As of 2011, it generated more than ¥2 trillion ( $25 billion) in revenue, making it one of the highest-grossing media franchises of all time. The franchise encompasses toys, animation, comic books, video games and films. It follows the battles of sentient, living autonomous robots, often the Autobots and the Decepticons, who can transform into other forms, such as vehicles and animals. Transformers is a media franchise produced by American toy company Hasbro and Japanese toy company Takara Tomy.
