A big budget ($150 Million) summer action film based upon a 1980's animated TV show based on a toy line from Hasbro that was released in 2007. Directed by Michael Bay and Produced by Steven Spielberg. It has just about the perfect blend of action and story. Sure it has lame, cliched dialogue and some bad acting but it also has Megan Fox to act as a counter-balance to distract teenage boys and the male audience in general.
This film centers around a race of friendly alien robots called the Autobots, led by Optimus Prime fighting an age old war between their archenemies, the Decepticons, led by Megatron. In search of the AllSpark, the war is brought to the planet Earth where Sam Witwicky, played by Shia LeBeouf, must intervene to aid in the Autobots quest and save himself, his family and the whole human race.
What's most remarkable about this film is the detail that went into the CGI robots (Nominated for an Academy Award although it didn't win) and the solid foundation that it paved for future Transformer films.
Over the course of it's Theatrical Run, it grossed over $319 million in the U.S. (Domestically) and $389 Million overseas (Foreign) for a Worldwide Box office draw of $708 Million. Despite the overwhelming commercial success, it was a critical bomb earning an overall 57% "Rotten" rating on Rotten Tomatoes and an overall 61% on Metacritic. The latter rating actually equates to generally favorable reviews on their review aggregator. It was succeeded in 2009 by Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

Get the Transformers mug.A franchise, beginning in 2002 and ending in 2003, that saw the introduction of the Mini-cons into the Transformers lore.
So basically, Transformers meets Pokemon. The Autobot gotta catch all dem Mini-cons before the Decepticons do.
Eventually all the Transformers have to team up and kill Unicron, but not before Megatron (at that point Galvatron) and Starscream get killed.

Get the Transformers Armada mug.A tablet sold as an Ecstasy pill shaped like an Autobot head. May be bright blue, green, or another color, resembling a children's vitamin. Blue Transformers are known to contain no MDMA, instead being made of a cocktail of TFMPP and BZP, chemicals which badly mimic an Ecstasy high while providing the user with a spectacular hangover, nausea, and headache. Especially nasty when combined with alcohol. Spare yourself a bad time and don't buy or eat these. Often found near Portland, OR, and Seattle, WA.
That dude in the back of the club offered me a Blue Transformer, but my buddy was so sick when he ate one last week that I decided to pass.

Get the Transformers mug.
1. A transforming robot that's not very well known in any Transformers franchise but is infamous around the Internet. His alternate mode is a cardboard box. His weapon is a cardboard handgun. It is unknown to which faction he belongs but the Box Transformer blends in perfectly in alleys, ghettos, warehouses and any other shady areas. The Box Transformer can easy ambush underpaid workers or hobos and usually lies in waiting until such opportunity arises. This transformer's one weakness is stray animals with full bladders.
2. A joke gif online in which a guy makes a cardboard suit and crouches down in front of a garage door, making a convincing box while crouched. The animation is looped so it looks like a constant "transformation" with a midi of the Transformers theme song.
3. The only rival to Solid Snake when it comes to hiding in cardboard boxes.

Hobo: Hey a new house!
Box Transformer standing up pointing his weapon): Back away, fleshling!
Hobo: Shit I think I pissed my pants.

The box transformer is another fine example of the power of looped animation and music.
