What is the name of the orange transforming robot? Guide to "Transformers": features of each of the four parts

Not all fans of science fiction films are very familiar with all the characters in “Transformers.” We would like to consider the names of the central characters in the Autobot saga and their descriptions in our material.

Who are the Autobots?

Before looking at the names of Transformers, let's figure out what they are. The Autonomous Robots, or Autobots, are a peace-loving faction in opposition to the ruthless and envious Decepticons. These good-natured aliens from outer space value most of all the independence and right of every living creature to freedom. They do not consider the inhabitants of Cybertron to be the dominant galactic race. On the contrary, some Autobots are ready to provide assistance to representatives of other civilizations to the detriment of themselves. For this reason, it is easy to form alliances with them.

Autobots transform primarily into non-combat vehicles. Before coming to Earth, many of them were engineers, researchers, and doctors. They also use their old skills during the conflicts that unfold in a series of films.

Background

The plot of a series of films about the confrontation between transformers starts with their arrival on Earth. These intelligent, highly developed creatures are capable of transforming into cars, motorcycles, airplanes and helicopters, and other equipment. The Autobot faction has a good disposition and is peaceful towards earthlings. On the contrary, the Decepticons want to take possession of the mysterious artifact “Allspark” (“Great Spark”), which turns out to be on our planet. The Autobots decide to come to the defense of humanity and together defeat the cruel Decepticons, whose main goal is the enslavement of other intelligent inhabitants of the galaxy.

Subsequently, the main character in the saga becomes an ordinary high school student named Sam Witwicky. It is to him, by chance, that the secret of finding the Allspark artifact is revealed.

Optimus Prime

So, let's start looking at the names of transforming robots. First of all, let's talk about the central character of the saga, Optimus Prime. The latter is the main character not only in a series of films about a race of intelligent machines, but also in comics, cartoons and video games. The hero has the ability to transform into a six-wheeled Peterbilt tractor of a red and blue hue.

Optimus Prime commands the Autobots and is also in charge of public relations. In the beginning of the film series, the hero dies in a battle with Megatron, but returns to life with the help of the “Matrix of Leadership.”

Ironhide

Considering the main transformers, the names of the Autobots, it is worth mentioning Ironhide, whose specialization in the team is the protection of comrades and important objects. He is one of the oldest Autobots, an experienced and resilient robot. Ironhide has the reputation of being a real bully. Of the two obvious solutions, he always chooses the more radical one. However, behind the character’s external aggressiveness lies a good-natured essence, a desire to protect living beings.

Bumblebee

Talking about the names of transformers from the film, a few words should be said about Optimus Prime's faithful companion - a silent Autobot named Bumblebee. The hero transforms into a yellow and black Chevrolet Camaro. After one of the battles the character receives serious damage and loses the ability to speak. He expresses his thoughts and emotions through the use of phrases from radio stations and music tracks. Bumblebee is one of the most sentimental and charming characters in the film.

Ratchet

What other Transforming Autobot names appear in the film? To the main acting persons The film series also includes Ratchet, who plays the role of medic and researcher on the team. In the first part of the saga, he arrives on Earth with Optimus Prime to fight the Decepticons. He shows kindness towards people. The latter interests him with scientific point vision. With access to the Internet, Ratchet immediately becomes an expert in biology and medicine.

Jazz

We continue to talk about the names of transformers. Next on our list is a robot named Jazz. He is one of the leaders of the Autobot team, responsible for organizing sabotage and combat special operations. Upon arrival on Earth, he shows interest in expensive sports cars. For this reason, it immediately transforms into a Pontiac Solstice roadster in silver.

Megatron

When considering the names of transformers, one cannot ignore the main antagonist of the Autobot team - the Decepticon Megatron. The latter is the eternal enemy and antipode of Optimus Prime. His main goal is to establish dominance in the galaxy, in particular, the enslavement of the human race.

According to the plot of the series of films about Transformers, at one time Megatron was the wise and fair ruler of Cybertron. However, having learned about the power of the Allspark artifact, he started a war not only on his home planet, but also set off to conquer the Earth, pursuing a team of Autobots.

Starscream

If we talk about the names of transformers, the Decepticon Starscream deserves attention. He acts as Megatron's main ally and accomplice in all atrocities. This robot secretly strives for sole control of the faction. Is the only villain, who managed to return safely back to Cybertron after a lost battle with the Autobots.

Fallen

Representative ancient family Primes. This insidious robot betrayed the ideals of his own brothers for the sake of power over the Transformers of Cybertron. In the first parts of the film series, he acts as part of a Decepticon battle group. Fallen was killed in battle with Optimus Prime.

Autobots.

Optimus Prime(English) Optimus Prime).
Alt form: in the first two seasons - a red and blue tractor, in the third - an experimental all-terrain vehicle of the same color.
Weapon: two ion blasters, two energon combat blades, a heavy machine gun.
Special features: can activate Iacon's most powerful artifacts.

Starscream(English) Starscream).
Alt form: silver-gray light fighter F-16 Fighting Falcon
Weapon: two rocket launchers and two blasters on the hands, a paralyzing spear.
Special features: uses “red energon”, which gives him super speed.

Megatron's first assistant and eternal envier. In his absence, he commanded the Decepticons. He pretends to be glad that the ruler is returning, behaves very respectfully with him, and he himself is just waiting for the right moment to eliminate Megatron and seize power. After the destruction of the space bridge, he immediately notifies everyone that Megatron has died and appoints himself in his place. When it turned out that the lord of the Decepticons did not die, but only fell into a comatose state, Starscream tried to finish him off, for which he received a huge beating from Megatron when he woke up and regained his strength. Having barely recovered from the beating, Starscream again began to weave intrigues against his master; it ended with the angry Megatron condemning him to death, and only chance prevented him from carrying out the sentence. Angered by his constant failures (especially after the incident with Airachnid, who “surrendered” him to the Autobots), Starscream broke with the Decepticons and announced that he no longer wanted to serve anyone. Since then, Starscream has acted independently, at his own peril and risk, only occasionally concluding tactical alliances either with Autobots or with humans. However, at the end of the second season, tired of fighting for survival alone, he decides to make peace with Megatron. He manages to fulfill his intention, and even retake the post of first assistant, but not for long - in the third season he had to cede part of his powers to Shockwave (he became the head of the scientific department, while Starscream remained a military leader). From this moment on, Starscream begins to plot against Shockwave, trying to discredit him in the eyes of Megatron, but only incurs new troubles. After the Nemesis was captured by the Autobots, he escaped from the ship along with Shockwave.

Soundwave(English) Soundwave).
Alt form: dark blue MQ-9 drone.
Weapon: tentacles
Special features: can open an “earth bridge” almost anywhere and at any time.

Breakdown(English) Breakdown).
Alt form: blue armored van.
Weapon: in robot mode - huge sledgehammers, which replace his hands in battle; in vehicle mode - heat-seeking missiles.

Knockout's assistant and friend, arrived with him at Starscream's call. In this series, Breakdown is not a psychopath, as in ""; he thinks and behaves quite normally, but, nevertheless, he gets into trouble more often than others. One day, “MECHANICS” attacked him and tried to disassemble him in order to understand how transformers function; As a result, he lost his right eye, and could have lost his life if Bulkhead had not saved him. He hates Airachnida, and therefore willingly accepted Megatron’s order to eliminate her, but in a battle with the Spider he himself was killed. What was left of Breakdown was taken by members of the M.E.H. organization; they later made his body the seat of the mind and personality of their fallen commander, Silas. However, due to the failure of the operation proposed by Silas, Megatron gave him to Knockout to be used as a “guinea pig”. But during experiments with synthetic energon, due to an unforeseen accident, Breakdown turned into a vampire terrorcon with a constant thirst for energon and was again killed by Airachnida (whom he himself had freed before).

Makeshift(English) Makeshift).
Alt form: unknown.
Weapon: the same as that of the transformer whose appearance he is currently copying.

Airachnid(English) Airachnid).
Alt form: giant spider, helicopter.
Weapon: cobweb, poison, energy rays.

Female Decepticon. Arcee's archenemy. Loves to hunt rare species animals. She wandered around the Galaxy, from planet to planet, in search of new trophies for her collection, but on Earth, Jack and Arcee burned her ship, and the safari had to be interrupted indefinitely.
Megatron accepted Airachnida into his squad and, after Starscream's escape, made him his assistant, but, as it turned out, this was not the best a wise decision. Cunning, selfish and cold-blooded Airachnida is a dangerous enemy and an unreliable partner. Anyone with whom she collaborates must be on alert, as any dirty trick can be expected from her. With her behavior, she quickly alienated the other Decepticons, and Megatron decided to get rid of the evil Spider once and for all. He entrusted this mission to the most powerful fighters - Dreadwing and Breakdown, but the operation failed: Airachnida defeated both of them, and even became the queen of the Insecticons. She was later, however, defeated by Arcee, who lured her into the Insecticon birth pod and locked her there. Once inside the capsule, Airachnis plunged into stasis, and her former subjects came under the command of Megatron.
In the third season, she was freed by the Terrorcon-Breakdown, killed him a second time (while becoming infected with the virus from him) and regained control over the Insecticons. Only the magnificent reaction of Soundwave, who opened a space bridge to one of Cybertron's satellites in time, prevented her from capturing the Decepticon ship. Her further fate unknown.

Dreadwing(English) Dreadwing).
Alt form: F-35 Lightning II bomber.
Weapon: plasma gun, sword; In addition, he has an impressive stock of explosive devices of varying power.

Skyquake's twin brother; very similar in appearance, but painted in Blue colour. He arrived on Earth in the hope of finding out something about the fate of his brother. Demolition Specialist upper class. A very dangerous opponent in battle. He fiercely hates Autobots, and especially Rackers. For all that, he has a rare set of skills for a Decepticon positive qualities- strong, decisive, intelligent, knows how to maintain a balance between obedience and initiative, straightforward, not devoid of nobility, works easily in a team. Having appreciated Dreadwing's merits, Megatron brought him closer to him, even appointing him as his lieutenant. But when Dreadwing learned the truth about the long line of intrigue and betrayal that had taken place aboard the Nemesis, his loyalty to the Decepticon ideals suffered a crushing blow; What angered him most was that Megatron did not punish the culprits. Fueled by a thirst for revenge, Dreadwing gave the Solus Prime Hammer to the Autobots and then attempted to kill Starscream, but was shot and killed by Megatron in the process.

Hardshell(English) Hardshell).
Alt form: Hercules beetle.

The smartest of the insecticons (in any case, perhaps the only one of them who is able to speak freely). While searching for a valuable artifact on Megatron's orders, he entered into battle with Bulkhead, who was doing the same thing, and seriously wounded the Autobot. He was later challenged by Wheeljack to a duel and nearly defeated him, but Miko shot Hardshell with missiles from Wheeljack's ship.

Shockwave(English) Shockwave).
Alt form: Cybertronian tank.
Weapon: plasma gun.

Decepticon scientist. At first he appeared only in a flashback, in Arcee's memories. It was believed that he died during a skirmish with the Autobots, but rumors about his tragic death turned out to be false - Shockwave survived and even pushed Starscream out of his post as Megatron's deputy. By character - restrained and balanced, never loses control of himself; strictly logical in all his judgments and actions. Shockwave is one of Megatron's best warriors, and also a brilliant inventor. The range of his scientific research is very extensive and extends from improving weapons to designing new transformers; Thanks to Shockwave, the Decepticon army received a significant addition - the powerful and ferocious transforming dragon Predaking. After final battle on the Nemesis and the death of Megatron, Shockwave, along with Starscream, was evacuated in an escape capsule, which landed somewhere on Cybertron.

Vehicons(English) Vehicons).
Alt form: sports sedan cars purple, small planes.
Weapon: Powerful laser pistols that can also be used in techno form.

Soldiers and work force"Decepticons. Tireless fighters, very strong, dexterous and tenacious: in battles with Autobots they die in dozens, but they never retreat without an order. Programmed to obey the commander; nevertheless, they are not without the ability to think, and some of them even dare to discuss the orders they have received.

Laserbeak(English) Laserbeak).
Alt form: original aircraft, similar to both an insect and a bat.

A miniature drone, Soundwave's "pet" and assistant. Very fast and maneuverable, capable of moving equally easily both in the earth's atmosphere and in airless space. Due to its small size and weak weapons, it almost never takes part in combat operations and is used mainly for reconnaissance missions and sabotage (however, it was strong enough to damage Agent Fowler’s helicopter and catch him himself). When not in use, it is attached to Soundwave's chest.

Clones(English) Clones).

Created from protoforms found by Starscream aboard the abandoned Decepticon ship Herald. After he injected each of them with a dose of his own energon, they came to life and became exact copies its creator not only externally, but also internally, sharing his thoughts, feelings and ambitions. Starscream sent them to the Nemesis with the task of eliminating Megatron. During this sortie, one of the clones came across Bulkhead, who accidentally ended up on the Nemesis, and died in a fight with him, while four others reached the command post and attacked Megatron. In the ensuing shootout, three of them were killed; Megatron spared the fourth clone, and even promised to take him into his service if he brought him the head of the real Starscream.

Predacons

Predaking(English) Predaking).
Alt form: the Dragon .
Weapon: discharge blaster, in beast form - a powerful plasma flamethrower and its own claws.

An example of a Predacon created by Shockwave. In the very first skirmish with the Autobots, he showed himself to be a serious opponent, and they barely managed to get rid of him. During the Autobot attack on Darkmount, Predaking pursued Ultra Magnus' ship until Ratchet used the Earth Bridge to send it to the North Pole. But he later returned, after which he became subordinate to Starscream (however, both were not happy about this). Starscream initially treated Predaking with disdain, considering him just a mechanical beast... until it turned out that he was also capable of transformation. In both of its forms, Predaking is incredibly powerful: without special effort breaks Solus Prime's Hammer, almost kills Ultra Magnus and Wheeljack, fights on equal terms with Optimus Prime and Megatron. Its durable body is almost invulnerable to blasters and beam throwers.
When the Decepticons realized what Predaking was capable of, it was decided to abandon the project of reviving the other Predacons (due to the risk of a rebellion that would be difficult to suppress), and all materials were destroyed. Thanks to the cunning invention of Starscream, Predaking was made to believe that the Autobots were to blame for the final destruction of his race, but Ratchet (who was captured by the Decepticons and was given to Predaking for execution) managed to convince Predaking to “analyze the situation”, and as a result he realized that he was cruel deceived. In a rage, he turned against the Decepticons, but Megatron and Starscream overpowered him and threw him out of the ship. However, Predaking survived and returned to Cybertron after the Decepticons were defeated.

́ Darksteel (English) Darksteel).
Alt form: A dragon that looks like a mechanical griffin
Weapon: claws, in beast form - a flamethrower.

He is one of the new Predacons created by Shockwave. By character - cocky and reckless. He competed with Predaking, claiming leadership, but later, together with other Predacons, fought against Unicron's army of Terrorcons.

́ Skylinks(English) Skylynx).
Alt form: The Dragon
Weapon: same as Darksteel

His character is very similar to Darksteel, but a little smarter than him. He constantly accompanies him, and also gets into trouble all the time.

Other.

Terrorcons(English) Terrorcons).
Alt form: absent.

Dead Transformers resurrected by Dark Energon radiation. Devoid of soul and reason, extremely evil, obsessed with the desire to kill. They look like walking debris, but are almost indestructible: even separated parts of their bodies pose a danger, since they can quickly move and attack the enemy.

Scraplets(English) Scraplets).

Unicron(English) Unicron).
Alt form: planet.
Weapon: lightning released from the fingers, a spiked mace in the right hand.
Special features: can create his own clones almost anywhere on Earth.

A super-giant transformer, next to which all other transformers seem insignificantly small. The embodiment of absolute Evil. He despises and hates all living things (except himself).
At first, it was only mentioned in a conversation between Megatron and Starscream about Dark Energon. According to Megatron, Dark Energon is Unicron's blood; he revives dead transformers, but they become aggressive and behave like zombies. At the end of the first season, Unicron himself appeared. It turns out that after millions of years of wandering in outer space it became the core of the Earth. However, a parade of planets awakened him from his sleep, and now the Earth is facing an unprecedented catastrophe. The only thing that can stop Unicron is the Autobot Matrix of Leadership.
Megatron at one time hoped to attract the Planet Eater to his side, but, having received a refusal, decided to oppose Unicron in alliance with the Autobots. Through joint efforts, the transformers managed to “put Unicron to sleep” again (however, as it turned out later, this was only a temporary respite). (the core of Cybertron).

Nemesis Prime(English) Nemesis Prime).

A remote-controlled copy of Optimus Prime, constructed by the M.E.H. organization based on information they obtained about the internal structure of Transformers and the transformation mechanism. Nemesis Prime turned out to be so strong that it crushed all the Autobots who were approaching Silas' base. However, he could not cope with Optimus himself, because his controller, Silas, was distracted by the battle with Fowler, and Dark Prime remained motionless. After the massacre of Nemesis, his body was given to the military for safekeeping.

Only a few of them can speak (as far as is known, only two of them are Hardshell and Bombshock). At the same time, insecticons are susceptible to telepathy. Airachnis subjugated them to herself in order to use them to gain the upper hand over Megatron.

People

Jack Darby(English) Jack Darby). Sixteen year old teenager. He studies during the day and works part-time in the evenings at a diner in a parking lot. Accidentally got on a motorcycle, which turned out to be a transformer girl Arcee, who was running away from the Decepticons. She later returned to invite him to join the Autobots. At first, Jack did not show much enthusiasm, he was going to leave the team, and only his attachment to Arcee kept him from this step. By character, Jack is very calm and prudent, a slightly phlegmatic schoolgirl, originally from Tokyo; came to the USA on exchange. I accidentally witnessed Jack’s conversation with Arcee, after which the Autobots, willy-nilly, had to accept Miko into their squad. This fragile-looking girl is a real tomboy by nature: she is combative and energetic, she is not afraid of anything or anyone (except spiders), she knows how to insist on her own. Because of her passion for adventure, she often gets into trouble, and her friends have to help her out. She draws well, loves rock music, and plays the guitar herself. He turns his bodyguard Bulkhead around as he wants, drags him into all sorts of adventures, but at the same time loves him very much and is terribly worried when, due to a serious injury, the good-natured giant was on the verge of death.
Raf Esquivel(English) Raf Esquivel). A twelve-year-old child prodigy, a “walking encyclopedia.” A true computer genius. Helps Ratchet master earthly technology, for which the doctor is very grateful to him. However, Bumblebee becomes Raph's closest and most trusted friend. Raf is the only person who understands Bumblebee, although he himself cannot explain how this happens. The boy has a huge family, where everyone is full of their own worries, so sometimes he feels very lonely, and therefore reaches out to Bumblebee, who always listens to him attentively.
William Fowler(English) William Fowler). A special government agent who acts as a liaison between the Autobots and the outside world. Constantly, and in a rather harsh form, reminds the Autobots of the need to maintain secrecy. He tries his best to prevent people from finding out about alien robots, and is angry when he discovers three children at the Autobot base. Qualified pilot, pilots airplanes and helicopters various types(however, by coincidence, each time his aircraft is copied by one of the Decepticons for his alt form). At first he gives the impression of a boring, grumpy and cowardly type, fixated on the rules, but later it turns out that this impression is false. So, Agent Fowler, being caught by the Decepticons and tortured, still does not give them the location of the Autobot base. Over time, he warms up to both the Autobots and the children, actively helps them in the search for Iacon artifacts, and after the destruction of the Omega-1 station, he finds a new refuge for the Autobots in one of the military warehouses. Seems to have a thing for June Darby.

Sierra

Vince(English) Vince). Jack's peer and rival in the struggle for popularity and pretty girls. He also likes Sierra, and in order to humiliate Jack in her eyes, he invites him to take part in underground car racing.
Silas(English) Silas), aka Leland Bishop- a sinister and mysterious personality. Former military. Seeks to establish a new world order (led, of course, by himself). Smart, cold-blooded, cynical, equally ruthless towards robots and people. The main thing that interests him is alien “know-how”; For the sake of access to them, he collaborates with the Decepticons, but on occasion he will not hesitate to disassemble his recent ally for spare parts. His goal is to put the power of “living machines” at the service of his ambitious plans. He died in a battle with the Autobots, but was soon revived in the body of the transformer Breakdown, after which he offered his services and assistance to Megatron. However, the operation he planned to capture the military satellite “Damocles” failed, and Megatron gave Silas himself to Knockout “for experiments” as punishment. Died after Airachnid destroyed the Terrorcon into which Breakdown was transformed.
FUR.(English) M.E.C.) is a paramilitary terrorist organization created by Silas. Well hidden: they are almost impossible to see without masks that completely hide their faces and protective overalls. Obsessed with the idea of getting it at any cost Newest technologies, because they are confident that the side armed with last word technology. In one episode, they hunt for a nuclear power generator being transported by Agent Fowler. The latter, deciding that he was attacked by Decepticons, calls the Autobots for help. When the misunderstanding is cleared up, Optimus Prime refers to M.E.H. as "Decepticons in human form." Of Silas he says: "Megatron behaved in a similar way before plunging our planet into war." To study the intricacies of Cybertronian physiology, they first kidnapped (and almost dismantled for parts) Breakdown, and then began to collaborate with Starscream (from whom the T-gear necessary for transformation was eventually removed). The result of M.E.H.’s actions is the controlled transformer Nemesis Prime, but the very first experience of using it led to a clash with the Autobots, as a result of which the “MECHANICS” lost both the robot and their leader. Later, the organization's scientists managed to bring Silas back to life, but he decided that he no longer needed his subordinates and destroyed them.
Security guard- detained Miko in the archaeological museum, from where she, along with Jack and Raph, tried, at the request of the Autobots, to steal one of the exhibits (which was actually a Cybertronian artifact - an “energon collector”). Only Agent Fowler arrived in time and managed to persuade the vigilant watchman to let the girl go.

Autobots are transformers who are ready to help people, created for creation. The Decepticons are ready to destroy everything in their path. The main Autobot is Optimus Prime. He is confronted by the leader of the Decepticons, Megatron.

You can find a list of transformer names here.

The main characters of the film Transformers:

Optimus Prime - everyone famous character, whose name is well known even to those who have not watched Transformers. He is the leader of the Autobots and the main protagonist of the series.

Megatron is the main antagonist, a villainous villain from the Decepticon world who transforms into a starship. As often happens in cinematography and comics, in earlier times he was a friend of his main rival and enemy, but later a split occurred between them, leading to enmity.

There are two sides to robots in this popular movie, the positive ones are:

1) Optimus Prime is the leader of the Autobots;

2) Bumblebee is the main shoulder of the Autobot leader;

3) Ironhide;

5) Ratchet.

And here negative characters of this film:

1) Megatron is their most important;

2) Starscream;

3) Blackout;

4) Bonecrusher;

5) Scorponok

In the film about transformers there are a lot of representatives of these iron creatures and all of them have special names and you won’t remember or understand them all.

Transformers are divided into two races: Autobots and Decepticons.

The most famous Autobots:

Optimus Prime, Ultra Magnus, Grimlock, Rodimus Prime, Sentinel Prime, Bumblebee, Rller, Jazz, Ironhide, etc.

Deceptekons are also a separate race of transformers who are opponents of the former. Prominent representatives and leaders among the Disepticons: Megatron, Fallen, Galvatron, Thunderwing, Straxus, Scorponok, etc.

Autobots: Optimus Prime, Ultra Magnus, Rodimus Prime, Sentinel Prime, Grimlock, Bambelbee, Ironhide, Jazz, Jetfire, etc. are one group of heroes.

Disepticons: Megatron, Fallen, Galvatron, Thunderwing, Scorponok, etc. are the opponents of the first group. And all taken together are transformers.

There are many Transformers, as well as their names.

All transformers can be divided into two races: Decepticons and Autobots.

Transformers: The Last Knight marks the end of director Michael Bay's tenure as the architect of the Transformers films, but also the beginning of an entirely new (and very expansive) chapter for the franchise.

As with any new Transformers movie, we get a ton of new Autobots and Decepticons. However, The Last Knight introduces new characters that could have a major impact on both the upcoming Transformers sequels and the planned spin-offs already in the works.

Take a look at the new Transformers revealed in Transformers: The Last Knight.

Knight of King Arthur - Autobot

The Ancient God of Transformers, who has been on Cybertron all this time. She claims to be the "Life-Giving Goddess" because she created the Transformers race. Quintessa doesn't show much kindness, having instantly enslaved Optimus Prime and intends to destroy Earth/Unicorn.

Canopy

Canopy is an Autobot who takes up residence (literally) with young tech prodigy/orphan Isabella (Isabella Moner) in an abandoned quarantine zone in Chicago.

Canopy gets his name from the metal debris he wears on himself as camouflage, similar to the turtle house, which also serves as a shelter for Isabella's house.

Canopy dies when TRF ( military force, engaged in hunting Transformers) discovers him in quarantine in Chicago and quickly eliminates him. Cade and Isabella try to save the benevolent Autobot, but it's too little, too late...

In Transformers 5, it was revealed that "Hot Rod" was appointed by order of the secret society "Witwiccans" to be the personal guardian of Vivian Wembley (Laura Haddock), who is revealed to be the last living descendant of the legend Round table King Arthur - Merlin. Hot Rod guards Vivian. It is disguised as a 1963 Citroën DS that belonged to her father. He then transforms into an orange and black Lamborghini Centenario while protecting the Autobots.

New Decepticons

The film "Transformers: The Last Knight" leads new team Decepticons - and then destroys them all without giving it much thought.

"Transformers"

The film premiered on June 12, 2007. The film itself, like the animated series, owes its origins to a series of toys from Microman and Diaclone, which produced miniature robots that could be assembled into audio cassettes, weapons or cars. In 1980, these toys were seen by the head of Hasbro, who picked up the idea of creating such dolls, and 4 years later, together with Marvel Comics, a comic book and cartoon were created.

Let's move on to cars. I think everyone knows very well that the public's favorite Bumble Bee is the Chevrolet Camaro, which at the beginning of the film appears in the back of the 1977 model, and then transforms into the prototype Chevrolet Camaro Mk5, which was supposed to appear only in 2009. So the film was, one might say, a pre-premiere showing of the new model.

Pictured: Chevrolet Camaro Mk5 and Chevrolet Camaro 1977

By the way, according to the animated series, the “hornet” (as BumbleBee is translated) was supposed to turn yellow, but at the request of Michael Bay, the car was changed. The fact is that the director did not want one of the main characters to be compared with another famous movie character - Herbie. But the director still made a reference to this car: when Shia LaBeouf’s character chooses his first car at a used car lot, it is the Beetle that gets into the frame first.

As for the leader of the Autobot gang, Optimus Prime, in the first film, a Peterbilt 379, which began production back in 1987, was chosen as the tractor. This car was chosen for a reason. Steven Spielberg, who acted as a producer, was extremely fond of this truck after working on the 1971 horror film, where the main character was played by a Peterbilt 281 tractor. And the voice of Optimus, which viewers of the film heard on original language, belongs to Peter Carllen, who voiced Prime back when the first cartoons were released.

Pictured: Peterbilt 379 and VW Beetle

As for the rest of the Autobots, here we see exclusively the American auto industry. Gunsmith Ironhide turns into a GMC Topkick pickup, scout Jazz turns into a Pontiac Solistice, and it was he who became the only victim among the Autobots in the first part of the film. Medic Ratchet turned into a rescue vehicle based on the Hummer H2.

The roles of the Decepticons went to even more brutal technology. The 2005 Ford Mustang Saleen S281 Extreme police car is Barricade. By the way, on the wing of this Mustang, instead of the standard “To protect and serve” inscription for American police cars, it says “To punish and enslave”. Decepticon Blackout turns into an MH-53 helicopter, Starscream turns into an F-22 Raptor fighter, Bonecrusher turns into an armored personnel carrier with a Buffalo H manipulator, and Brawl turns into a modified M1 Abrams tank. And only little Frenzy turns into a radio-controlled model of something difficult to identify.

Pictured: GMC Topkick and Pontiac Solistice

"Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen"

At the end of the first film, Optimus Prime sends a message into space, calling on all surviving Autobots to fly to Earth. And they arrived. Filming began the day after the first part received an MTV award in the " best movie" This time European cars also took part in the film. So, in the first scene, the Decepticon Sideways was destroyed, who appeared before the viewer in the form of an Audi R8, but we’ll get to the Decepticons a little later.

The ranks of the Autobots have been replenished with several new robots. For example, Sideswipe appeared, which, in fact, cut Sidewise in half. A silver Chevrolet Corvette Stingray was chosen to play the role of an alternative appearance for this transformer. At the request of Optimus Prime, this Autobot took two twins, Skids and Mudflap, under his control. These tomboys, who made viewers laugh at the screens with almost any line or action, could turn into concepts created by Chevrolet when developing the design of the new generation Spark. Skids got the green Beat (which eventually became the new Spark), and Mudflap turned into the Trax concept car (remained out of business).

Also, in response to the leader’s call, robot girls who turned into motorcycles reached the Earth. Arcee is a Ducati 848, Chromia is a Suzuki B-King, and Elite-1 is an MV Agusta F4 R 312. Together with them, Optimus was helped by the robot Jolt, an alternative form of which was the prototype of the Chevrolet Volt electric car, which was released for sale only in 2011.

The film also featured the Autobot Hound, who transformed into a military modification of the Jeep Wrangler. This was an unplanned episode due to the fact that Michael Bay was approached by the US Department of Defense. They noted that in the first film in military equipment Only Decepticons were reincarnated, and this could negatively affect the image of the American armed forces. This is how a representative of the rival Chrysler clan entered the “kingdom of General Motors”...

There was also a replenishment on the evil side. Soundwave, who could turn into a satellite, reached the ground. In general, the appearance of the Decepticons did not change much, and they were mainly turned into construction or military equipment. So, for example, Demolisher, one of the largest robots who stood on the side of evil, turned into a white Terex RH400 excavator, Grindor - into a CH-53E Super Stallion helicopter.

The composite Devastator was assembled from a Mixmaster - a Mack Granite concrete mixer; Rampage – Caterpillar D9L bulldozer; Long Hole – Caterpillar 773B dump truck; Scraper – Caterpillar 992G loader; Scevenger - Terex RH400 excavator, the same as Demolisher, but red; Overload – Komatsu HD465-7 dump truck. This is, if you please, a construction team.

Also in the film, the little Decepticon Wily appears, who went over to the side of the Autobots, and he turns into a radio-controlled car. And besides him, Jetfire, a strategic supersonic reconnaissance aircraft of the US Air Force Lockheed SR-71 Black Bird, also moved from the ranks of villains to the side of good. The US Department of Defense was definitely pleased.

"Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon"

The appearance of the next sequel was not long in coming: it was released in 2011. Probably the biggest shock was the absence of Megan Fox in the film. The fact is that she had a falling out with Michael Bay and the charming blonde Rosie Huntington-Whiteley starred in the franchise. But we seem to have gotten distracted from the cars...

As for automotive metamorphoses, it can be noted that Sideswipe has changed a little, because during filming the new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Concept was released, and the American manufacturer asked the filmmakers to use this particular prototype. One Decepticon has also changed: Soundwave, who appeared as a companion in the second film, has now turned into a magnificent German sports car Mercedes SLS AMG.

The ranks of the Autobots have swelled again. Under the leadership of the Peterbilt tractor, there are now three Chevrolet Impala SS prepared for NASCAR racing. Three brothers turned into these cars: Roadbuster, Topsin and Leadfoot. Also, for the first time, European cars were included in the “army of good”: the Mercedes-Benz E350 played the role of the scientist robot Q, and the Mirage scout was transformed into the red Italian horse Ferrari 458 Italia. Also in the film another Prime appeared, who chose his image fire truck Rosenbauer.

The Decepticon squad also changed a little: the dead were replaced by Lazerik, who turned into various equipment, such as a printer or TV, the police officer Mustang Saleen S281 Extreme Barricade, who was absent from the second film, returned. A new robot, Crankcase, has appeared, transformed into a black Chevrolet Suburban. In addition, the saboteurs Hatchet and Crowbar fell into the ranks of the “villains”; they turned, again, into Suburbans, but underwent severe tuning.

Another funny car featured in the film is the Datsun 510. A yellow car with black stripes, stylized as Bumblebee, which he drove. main character, while his friend and part-time Chevrolet Camaro stood at a combat post, protecting the Earth from the Decepticon invasion.

In general, it is worth admitting that few new machine characters appeared in the film, and not all of the old ones remained. The episode clearly moved away from the theme of cars, increasingly focusing on computerized battle scenes between giant robots.

"Transformers 4: Age of Extinction"

The last film in the franchise was released on June 19, 2014. Following Megan Fox, Shia LaBeouf also disappeared. Steven Spielberg stepped down as producer, and Peterbilt disappeared with him. Another truck was taken for the role of Optimus Prime - Western Star 4900X, and before that the Autobot leader appears in the form of an old rusty Marmon Cadover 97, which is likely a reference to the animated series. The crowd-favorite BumbleBee has also changed, remaining true to the make and model, but now in the form of a black and yellow 1967 Camaro SS, and then he changed his appearance to a concept.

The changes affected everyone. Poor Ratchet, the Autobot military medic, was brutally destroyed at the very beginning of the film - apparently, this is the filmmakers' way of hinting that there is no longer room for the Hummer in the film. New Autobots appear, and sometimes it is simply impossible to follow the logic in the selection of cars.

For example, a robot samurai with speaking name Drift, for some reason, turns not into a Nissan Silvia S15, as in the series, but into Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse (obviously not
