Transformers

With the launch of the third Transformers film let’s take a look back at the 26 year history of the Transformers. Unlike popular belief, the transformers began not as a cartoon but as a line of toys. Transformers were invented by Hasbro and Takara Tomy, both of which are toy manufacturing companies. The Transformers toys inspired the 1980s carton which depicted a story about alien robots that are divided into two warring faction, Autobots and Decepticons. The animated series became a huge hit, airing for five seasons. The series also went through several reboots, in the 1990s and the 2000s. Today the Transformer story has been turned into three blockbuster motion pictures. Transformers memorabilia are a huge collector’s items. Some Transformers toy and apparel collections go for thousand of dollars, so be sure to get your Transformer memorabilia because they might become valuable some day.
