 This theatrical movie based on the Transformers television show (which was based, in turn, on a popular multiform robot toy line) didn t go over very well at the box office. The movie is set in 2005, twenty years after the TV series, and chronicles the efforts of the heroic Autobots to defend their homeworld of Cybertron from the evil Decepticons and Unicron, a huge robotic creature who eats planets such as Cybertron.
