Artifact Overview

Some toys are "More than meets the eye." Transformers can change from vehicles into robots -- either good Autobots or evil Decepticons -- and back again. Released by Hasbro, Inc. in 1984, these successfully marketed action figures quickly transformed into an entertainment franchise with comic books, television shows, films, video games and even record albums.
