Transformers are a toyline started by Hasbro in 1984, which was based off the Diaclone line that originated in Japan. It spawned a TV series, and a comic book, and is pretty much the most ultimate of badassery ever made. It is still popular today.

A transformer is an electronic device generally containing two copper wires coiled around an iron core.
There are many types of transformers with different sorts of uses.
Some transformers are used for isolating components such as a microphone from the amplifier so that if you plug in the wrong thing, it may prevent damage. This also filters out DC current.
Others such as the kind you see on a powerline or inside a TV change the Current/Voltage Ratio and is read like this for example: 1:2,1:30,1:4...ect.
This device works by transfering energy from one coil of wire to the other via a magnetic field.
A flow of electricity is made in the oppisite wire when the field generated by the other coil expands or contracts.
Note that only AC current can travel through a transformer, that, or a DC current being switched on and off.
