Transformers with accents are a dime a dozen. Aside from any number of regional American accents, and plenty of British ‘bots, there are French Transformers, Australian Transformers, Scottish, Russian, and German Transformers, and more! But on St. Patrick’s Day, we lament that there’s never been an IRISH Transformer!
So the best we can offer you today is a collection of green Transformers from across the continuities…. annnnd… ummm… a picture of, uh… Nick Roche, why not.
There are, however, lots of drunk Transformers.
transformers 1: they’re here
transformers 2: they were here before
transformers 3: they were here BEFORE before
transformers 4: they were here before BEFORE before
excuse me but I think you’ll find transformers 3 is “they were here after the time before but before the time they were here the first time.”
The Rise of the Robots: The History of the Transformers
This is an infographic on Transformers. Robots had never been the same after Transformers was introduced in the early 80s. The Transformers toy line had its beginnings in 1983 when Hasbro representatives attended the Tokyo Toy Fare to find something promising that could be imported to the North American market.

Blackarachnia’s not the first female Transformers toy. She’s not even the first in America! The first American female Transformers toy was BotCon 1995’s Nightracer and the first ever anywhere was Japan’s Minerva. (Freezon was released earlier, but her gender wasn’t decided upon until decades later.) Blackarachnia is the first American mass-retail female Transformer, but that’s kind of a lot of qualifiers.
Also some of those silhouettes chosen for use in places seem kind of weird. I’m pretty sure those are Classics Mini-Cons (2006) they use to represent Armada (2002). ROTF Devastator and Fall of Cybertron Slug stand in for their 1985 versions. And I don’t want to try to figure out what that Robots in Disguise silhouette is.

Oh, it coulda been way worse. That one was so bad I had to make this:
Fans Can Soon Create an All New Transformers Character in “Fan Built Combiner Poll”Pawtucket, R.I. (January 15, 2015) —TRANSFOMERS fans around the world are invited to help create a new character for the popular TRANSFORMERS brand — but not just any character. Following on the heels of the 30th anniversary “Fan Built Bot” poll, which led to the fan-assisted creation of the popular new AUTOBOT character, WINDBLADE, Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ: HAS) is launching the new “Fan Built Combiner” poll. This crowdsourcing project seeks fan input to create a new team of TRANSFORMERS robots that combine into one giant new character in celebration of the theme of the 2015 TRANSFORMERS GENERATIONS line, COMBINER WARS!
Starting soon, with exact dates to be announced, the official TRANSFORMERS brand app (formerly the official TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF EXTINCTION app) will be updated and fans will be able to log-in and answer a round of questions to help shape the identity of the new Combiner characters. The Fan Built Combiner poll will allow fans to determine everything from the types of vehicles involved, to whether the characters will be AUTOBOTS or DECEPTICONS, and eventually the name of the new character.
Voting for each round will be open for one week, after which the results will be announced and a new round of voting will begin the following week, with three rounds of questions in all. A full reveal of the new Fan Built Combiner is expected later this year, with the character available as a toy in 2016.
“The first ‘Fan Built Bot’ effort was massive, resulting in the creation of WINDBLADE who has her own widely popular comic series from IDW Publishing and toy product,” said Tom Warner, senior vice president of the TRANSFORMERS franchise at Hasbro. “With the TRANSFORMERS GENERATIONS: COMBINER WARS line celebrating the venerable COMBINER characters from throughout TRANSFORMERS history this year, this is the perfect time to let fans help create something even bigger than a new TRANSFORMERS character — a Combiner team that will become part of TRANSFORMERS lore.”
The new “Fan Built Combiner” character will be part of the TRANSFORMERS GENERATIONS: COMBINER WARS toy line. Like all the toys in the line, which debut in stores this month, the new Combiner figure will be able to mix-and-match limbs with other figures in the line so kids and fans can create their own custom TRANSFORMERS COMBINERS figures.
To participate in the vote, fans will need to download the free official TRANSFORMERS brand app on iOS [http://hasb.ro/TF4APAIT514] and Android [http://hasb.ro/TF4APAS514]. Starting with the Fan Built Combiner update, launching soon, the refreshed app will become the premiere destination for TRANSFORMERS fans and will feature first-look and behind-the-scenes images and information on new TRANSFORMERS: GENERATIONS toys. Additional information will be available at TRANSFORMERS.COM as well as the official TRANSFORMERS Facebook page at Facebook.com/Transformers.

all-female combiner is go
ho man i havent seen these in awhile <3
I remember those gif even before I was in the transformers fandom…
this is a relic.
These dancing gifs were the work of Dave “Zobovor” Edwards - Transformers superfan from the days of alt.toys.transformers on Usenet - who created them for a “Transformers Dance” spoof of the old “Hamsterdance” phenomenon.
The more you know!
Whenever I see these I remember the fine print at the bottom of the website: “All animated .gifs were created by me and are not to be used on any other site without my express permission, but they may be saved for personal use and/or archival purposes.”

(re: the hooters ask) its VERY common in japan for media like games, anime, and manga to do promotions and sponsorships with companies for advertising purposes, and food is no exception. evangelion did a promo with a japanese burger chain, there was the famous one with code geass and pizza hut. hell, just to name how weird some of these could get, when the venom movie launched in japan, it was being promoted alongside, of all things, persona q2 on the 3ds

Okay you say this like cross promotions don’t exist anywhere else in the world. I know what a cross promotion is! They slap Star Wars characters and Minions on every product they can think of when one of those movies comes out. I’ve seen Master Chief on Pop-Tarts boxes, I’ve seen Nathan Drake promote Subway! That is a completely mundane thing in America!! It’s a part of everyday life under modern capitalism!!! I’m specifically bewildered by the fact that it’s SONIC FORCES and HOOTERS
