About Transformers

Transformers is a renowned entertainment brand that has produced several blockbuster movies, hit television shows, and countless novels and comic books.

For those who are new to this brand, here is a brief story of the Transformers:

In this incredible world, Transformer robots engage in battles that span the entire galaxy and millions of years. Optimus Prime, leader of the heroic Autobots (the good robots), battles the tyrant Megatron and his evil Decepticons (the bad robots) for the fate of freedom across the universe.

These robots are originally from another planet name Cybertron but had to crash land on Earth where they stay dormant for a long time. When they awaken, the Deceptions start plundering Earth while the Autobots try to protect it.

While kids love Transformers, there’s something about them that engages even adults who are reminded of their younger days when they watched transformer movies and tv shows.

The main highlight of these films is that the gadgets depicted in the film slide, twist, and turn in every possible manner; there is a fanciful depiction of the moving parts as the helicopters, fighter jets, and vehicles transform into robots.

It’s no wonder that the Transformer toys are still endearingly popular with kids.

There are several movies that are still in development so this series is definitely not ending anytime soon. So, Transformers will continue to be popular in most local toy aisles.

Transformers and all related characters are trademarks of Hasbro. Hasbro owns the exclusive license for Transformers toys.

There’s a Transformer figure and robot toy for every kid or collector. These battling robots change between modes in one step and you can use these to create your own incredible adventures.

Practical Applications of Transformer Toy Designs

Transformer toys are also of keen interest to product designers who study them closely to see how those transformations could be applied in other fields, such as in robotics and to consumer products.

While the smaller kids like physically touching toys and trying to manipulate it, grown-up kids may wish to transform toys without touching them. Robot manufacturer Robosen has produced a 3-foot Transformer toy (based on Optimus Prime) that can be transformed using an app.

 

 

Then there is this industrial designer, who used to design Transformers robots for Takara Tomy, who has come up with a prototype of a foldable bike.

Mickey mouse becomes a Transformer, cool toy

This Mickey Mouse figure from Takara Tomy seems to have taken its inspiration from Transformers, as it switches from a giant Mickey Mech into a MICKEY-COLOURED TRUCK.

Disney is now part of Marvel Comics and Lucasfilm, and it only makes sense that Disney start upgrading its own roster of characters.

And that’s what they have done here. The six-inch tall figure also includes tiny versions of Mickey driving the truck, and riding atop the bot. [toy-people]

How cool is that.

I’m sure kids are going to love it when they see this giant Mickey Mouse turn into a truck, Optimus Prime-style. Kids are really clever these day and they will know how to transform the mickey mouse prime without any instructions.

Mickey Mouse, created by Walt Disney, is the world’s most famous cartoon characters.
