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 transmale 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.Bill Wurtz's name in his video "and the day goes on". This wasn't his name at the beginning of the video, and the name's presumably stolen from a tractor driver in Virginia.
Person 1: Did you hear the news flash about Joe Tractorman yesterday? Man, the internet's going crazy over him.
Person 2: Yeah, the guy went out of his tractor and legit flew away.
30 minutes later:
joe tractorman: woke up in the morning, travelling straight into the sun-

Get the joe tractorman 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.Something which transcends the limitation of the human mind or body. Recently, it has come to describe a growing movement of people who believe we are in the verge of growing beyond our limited human forms and consciousness. They often consider the development of transhuman technology a leap forward on par with the plow in completely transforming how human's live.
