Transformers - Group of robotic warriors from the planet Cyberton who used the Earth as a battleground to defeat their million-year-old nemesis called the Decepticons on the sci-fi cartoon TRANSFORMERS/SYN/1984-85. Both Transformers and Decepticons had the ability to "transform" their bodies into all sorts of objects including cars, trucks and a variety of military equipment. As the series theme song intoned these outer space aliens were "More than meets the eye." The series' concept continued with TRANSFORMERS: GENERATION II/SYN1993 (revamped 1984 episodes) and later in the 1990s with BEAST WARS: TRANSFORMERS/SYN/1996 as giant animals (Maximals) transformed via computer morphing technology into fighting robots who thwart the evil Predacons from taking over the galaxy. The Hasbro Toys company successfully merchandised replicas of these animated characters; and Hanna-Barbera/TeleRep produced a similar series CHALLENGE OF THE GOBOTS/SYN/1985 about robots from the planet Gobotron now living on Earth who battled their arch enemies the Cykills.
