I would like to ''strongly'' discourage you from including animated GIFs on wiki articles. They're visually distracting and makes it hard to read an article. The images themselves are useful; they can and should be replaced by still frames. --[[User:Suki Brits|Suki Brits]] 16:57, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

:Additionally, um... where did you get those? I don't recall those clips being in any promotional footage I've seen. Were they created from a pirated copy of the movie? If so I kind of feel like they should be deleted. --[[User:Steve-o|Steve-o]] 20:16, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Ahem, if they were where did you get it from? i would like to know, even if it meens a ban from this site<div id="wikia-credits"><br /><br /><small>From [http://transformers.wikia.com Teletraan I: The Transformers Wiki], a [http://www.wikia.com Wikia] wiki.</small></div>

==Short synopsis==
[[Image:Big_fight.jpg|left|thumb|In short, giant robots blow each other up.]]

The movie features [[Sam Witwicky]], a plucky teenager who just wants a cool car, but gets more than he bargained for. The beater he and his father take home is actually [[Bumblebee]], an alien robot from the planet [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], who plants Sam down in the middle of a civil war between Bumblebee's benevolent [[Autobot]] comrades and the evil [[Decepticon]]s who threaten the galaxy's peace. Both sides are after the [[All Spark]], a mysterious artifact that landed on Earth 10 thousand years ago. The approaching robot-against-robot battle is a coming-of-age moment for Sam, who learns the meaning of his family's motto, "No sacrifice, no victory."

{{-}}

==Full synopsis==
{{spoiler}}

[[Image:Prime-Sam-Mikaela-poster.jpg|left|thumb|250px|What [[BotCon]] attendees see when they look at [[Peter Cullen]].]]

The movie features Sam, a teenage human of the [[Witwicky]] family. He's 16 years old, and his father, [[Ron Witwicky|Ron]], agrees to buy him half a car. At [[Bobby Bolivia]]'s used car lot, he ends up buying half the alien robot Bumblebee. As the story begins, Bumblebee is the only member of the heroic Autobot faction on [[Earth]] as the evil Decepticons move around undercover, searching for secret [[United States of America|US]] government information on the whereabouts of their leader, [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], who went missing from the Transformers' home planet of Cybertron more than 12,000 years ago. He was in pursuit of the All Spark, a nigh-omnipotent monolith capable of bringing any machines near it to life, and the Decepticons want it back to create an army.

The movie cuts between four subplots, revolving around Sam and his love interest [[Mikaela Banes]], a group of United States Air Force personnel led by Captain [[William Lennox]] in [[Qatar]], a confused Secretary of Defense [[John Keller]] who doesn't know what to make of the attacks on the US government by these "robuts" until a Man in Black from [[Sector Seven]] lets him know that aliens exist, and a pair of cryptographers. The main robots are Bumblebee in his Chevrolet Camaro [[alt mode]], the monstrous [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] with his pet [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]], 1.4 meter tall spastic hacker [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]], and [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] in his [[alt mode]] as a police Saleen Mustang. After transforming to rescue Sam and Mikaela from Barricade, Bumblebee summons [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and the other Autobots to Earth, into which they crash as asteroid-like [[Protoform (movie) ]]s.

Then things get ''really'' interesting.

==Production staff==

[[Image:Movie_Castandcrew2.jpg|thumb|right|300px|WE! DIG! GI-ANT RO-BOTS!]]

* Executive Producer: [[Steven Spielberg]]
* Executive Producer: [[Brian Goldner]]
* Director: [[Michael Bay]]
* Producers: [[Don Murphy]], [[Tom DeSanto]], [[Lorenzo di Bonaventura]] and [[Ian Bryce]]
* Screenwriters: [[John Rogers]], [[Alex Kurtzman]] and [[Roberto Orci]]

==Prequel material==
Prior to the movie's release [[IDW]] Publishing released a four issue limited comic series entitled "[[Prime Directives]]", which chronicles the events which bring the Transformers to [[Earth]]. A novel, ''[[Transformers: Ghosts of Yesterday]]'', is about the truth behind humankind's first venture into space and how that event is related to the Transformers' presence on Earth, both past and present.

Since the movie's plot brings the audience into things from Sam's POV, as he learns of not only the Transfomers' war but mankind's past history with Cybertronians, the prequel material provides a better handle on the intricate storyline.

It should be noted, however, that some dialogue in the film contradicts the prequel material, specifically pertaining to the years in which the frozen Megatron was moved from the Arctic to Hoover Dam.

==Soundtrack==

On July 3, 2007, Warner Bros Records released a ''Transformers'' soundtrack full of songs from or inspired by the motion picture.

*1. "What I've Done" - [[Linkin Park]]
*2. "Doomsday Clock" - [[Smashing Pumpkins]]
