And watch the cartoon, too! It's not nearly this pretty, but it gives you time to blink.

Despite the existence of comics, cartoons, and other media intended to advertise Transformers toys, Hasbro has routinely commissioned standard television commercials to promote their current toy lines. These commercials typically use a combination of animation and live-action film featuring the characters/toys in question.

During the Generation 1 days, animation used in the commercials consisted largely of newly commissioned pieces that told a story. Since then, nearly all animation featured in Transformers commercials can be classified as either re-used excerpts from the current cartoon or short animations used to merely introduce the ad. Live-action toy segments have stayed mostly the same, with most US and international ads showing kids (or a pair of hands) transforming the toys. Japanese ads, by contrast, have shown a much larger preference for stop-motion toy segments.

As the goal of any advertising is to influence the viewer into buying the advertised product,Transformers commercials have naturally played a large part in the perception of the Transformers brand. The narration of Victor Caroli, along with the animation, enabled Generation 1 commercials to create the idea of a Transformers world with many stories to be told. The Beast Wars ad campaign created a similar feel of a whole world waiting to be explored but this time with organic beasts. This recurring theme of a huge world of stories has captivated many a Transformers fan and is largely responsible for the brand's rabid fandom. More recently, the massive ad campaigns for the live-action film series and associated merchandise has kept the Transformers brand in the eye of the public, and made the films feel like the blockbuster events they were intended to be.

Notes: This was an ad for the Master the Beast sweepstakes contest.

Does changing into Beast Machines sound cool to you?

• YTV promo [7]

Animation: Excerpts of the Optimal/Transmetal 2 and Beast Machines versions of Optimus Primal, Blackarachnia and Megatron from the respective series.

Narration: Edward Glen

Notes: Each characters' Beast Wars Season 3 form is followed by their Beast Machines form accompanied by the narrator describing the changes as though he's narrating a fashion show.

That kid in the back? Way too excited.

• Deluxe Jetstorm and Optimus Primal [8]

Animation: Cartoon excerpts showing Jetstorm firing at Optimus Primal and Optimus Primal jumping down from somewhere.

Narration: SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY!!!

Toy segment: Two boys at school fight in the only honorable way — by badly transforming Optimus Primal and Jetstorm.

"Three o'clock at the flag pole." "I'll BE there!"

• Deluxe Jetstorm and Optimus Primal [9] - Edited down from the previous commercial.

• Supreme Cheetor [10]

Animation: Two excerpts featuring Cheetor transforming.

Narration: None, apart from "New Beast Machines Electronic Cheetor Supreme sold separately" by the Cheetor Kid.

Toy segment: Two kids face off in a gymnasium, surrounded by cheering friends. Megatron Kid makes threats to the other kid, who whips out Supreme Cheetor. Megatron Kid congratulates Cheetor Kid after losing their match.

The challenge is in the change!

• Nightscream and Ultra Jetstorm [11]

  

  "Nightscream likes EXTRA ketchup on his fries!" (Actual dialog)

Animation: Excerpts of Jetstorm and Nightscream transforming.

Narration: None, apart from "New Beast Machines Electronic Jetstorm and Electronic Nightscream sold separately" by Jetstorm Kid.

Toy segment: Two kids ordering food are informed by the lady behind the counter that there is only one order of fries left, so they decide to fight it out with their Transformers. The "bad" kid grabs Ultra Jetstorm and shows it off for viewers' benefit, while the "good" kid transforms his Ultra Nightscream and shoots Jetty with his disk launcher. Nightscream Kid wins and tells Jetstorm Kid that "Nightscream likes EXTRA ketchup on his fries!" Jetstorm Kid warns him not to push it.

"You're grounded Jetlag!"

• End of the Line promo [12]

Animation: Excerpts from End of the Line.

Narration: Jonathan David Cook

Notes: This spot aired several times throughout the morning of End of the Line's initial airing.

This morning, all sides have the key to... "Worldwide armageddon!" "Doomsday." But who will be the first to turn it?

2000

• Season Two promo [13]

Animation: Various cartoon excerpts.

Narration: Maurice LaMarche (?) and various local announcers.

Maximize your mornings for an all new season of Beast Machines!

• YTV promo 2 [14]

Animation: An excerpt from Endgame Pt. III: Seeds of the Future as normal, then reversed in a loop.

Narration: Edward Glen (as Optimus Primal) in an intentionally doofy voice dub featuring any other voice removed and the original sound effects replaced with more comedic ones.

A bewildered Optimus Primal finds himself falling and then grabs onto some molding on the side of a building. The molding gives way and he falls down the side of the building. He mistakes the sparks created by his scraping fingernails as something shooting from his fingers. He finally catches another piece of molding as Megatron (in his Optimal Optimus body) strafes him. As he tries to explain that he's not King Kong, the scene reverses itself and he finds himself stuck in some sort of time loop.

Notes: This ad doesn't mention anything about the series finale from which the animation is taken. In fact, this seems to be just a regular old promo for the show. Assuming this aired before Endgame Pt. II: When Legends Fall, anyone eagle-eyed enough to spot Optimal Optimus' jetmode would've caught a hefty spoiler.

Animorphs

"ИƎI⅃A?"

1999

Animorphs [15] (15 second) / [16] (30 second)

Narration: Unknown (possibly Shawn Ashmore).

Notes: A brief explanation of the Animorphs story, with one of the characters saying "Animorphs, Transformers!" Features Jake, Tobias, Mega class Ax, Mega class Visser Three and Rachel. Some footage from the Animorphs TV series is seen, and an instrumental version of the series' theme plays underneath. The synthesized "Transformers!" digital voice (as with the concurrent Beast Wars ads, apparently taken from older Generation 1 ads) plays at the end.

The alien invasion has begun. Animorphs, Transformers!

Robots in Disguise (2001)

2001

• Series premiere promo [17]

Animation: Various cartoon excerpts.

Narration: Koji Onishi (Jason Spisak), Optimus Prime (Neil Kaplan) and various other Autobots as a group, "ONLY on Fox Kids".

Strap in, because this ride's about to... "Transform." "Transform!" Transform!

• Series premiere promo #2 [18]

Animation: Excerpts from Battle Protocol!

Narration: ONLY on Fox Kids

They came to destroy earth. NOW, the only ones strong enough to take them on, are hiding right, under, your...HOOD!

Neither golden retriever, nor lawn mower, nor white picket fence, nor bright of day, shall stay these kids from the swift completion of their appointed Prime.

• Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus [19]

Animation: Megatron transforms, and Optimus Prime finds himself surrounded by the Predacons.

Narration: Steve Blum

Toy segment: Two kids who live next door to each other grab their respective Autobot Super figures and run into each other at full speed; as soon as they touch, they combine!

Notes: One of the kids had a poster for the 1986 animated movie in his room. The whole commercial has a dubbed over feel, as Megatron and Optimus Prime sound nothing like the voices used for the show (presumably because casting had not yet been done) and the sound quality of the narration seems below that of the rest of the commercial.

• Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus [20] - Same as previous commercial, but Neil Kaplan voices Optimus Prime and the narration is the actor used for the rest of the Robots in Disguise commercials. The blank panels in the first kid's comic book have been filled in with an appropriate screenshot and quote, though it's still surrounded by panels from "Prime Time!". Also, the background music doesn't stop while the kids shout to each other from their windows.

Nope, still not fearsome or impressive.

• Megatron, Sky-Byte and Deluxe Cars [21]

Animation: CGI Optimus Prime transforms from truck to super-mode; Cartoon excerpts of Megatron (with correct voice) talking, Optimus transforming, and Sky-Byte taking a chunk out of the rear of a moving vehicle.

Narration: Steve Blum

Toy segment: Kids yell the names of the toys while showing them off or transforming them. They do this in what appears to be a poorly lit basement of some sort.

Notes: "Prowl" just does not sound fearsome or impressive no matter how much you growl when you yell it.

Hey, show us your Lark pack!

• Team Bullet Train and Galvatron [22]

Animation: Cartoon excerpts - Team Bullet Train finishes forming Rail Racer; Galvatron says "Foolish Autobots! Bring it on!".

Narration: Steve Blum

Toy segment: Two kids play with the bullet trains aboard a subway car.

• Team Bullet Train and Galvatron [23] - Edited from the previous commercial.

• Landfill and Ruination

Animation:

Narration: Rap Guy

• Laserbeak, Hot Shot, Demolishor [34] - Edited down from previous commercial.

• Series premiere promo [35]

Animation: Various excerpts from the first three episodes of Armada.

Narration: Peter Cullen

Notes: Armada's first three episodes were combined into a mini-movie for its premiere on Toonami. This ad was kind of a big deal to fans as it was the first time Peter Cullen had done any work related to Transformers in thirteen years, dating back to the Action Master ads.

Transformers: Armada. Friday at 4. Much more than meets the eye.

• Series premiere promo [36] - An edited down version of the previous commercial.

Kidmation: Back-to-back for the final stand again, this time against the corporate office's windows.

Another battle for ultimate control! "Blurr attacks!" And Sideways betrays.

Notes: This commercial revealed Sideways to be a traitor long before the TV series did, spoiling the surprise for many fans.

• Overload, Powerlinx Optimus Prime, Tidal Wave, Galvatron[40]

Animation: Cartoon stock footage of Optimus Prime combined with Overload and Megatron combining with Tidal Wave.

Narration: Even Keel

2004

• PlayStation 2 Armada game commercial [43]

Starscream: "There's no escape. Soundtrack is "Wishbone" by the band Dropbox, who are actually shown rocking out between excerpts of game footage.

The ultimate conflict begins.

• PlayStation 2 Armada game trailer 1 [44]

Idyllic scenes of nature on earth are followed by scenes of the Decepticon army mobilizing with an epic choral tune playing the background. The mood shifts as scenes of the Autobots taking action are accompanied by a rock version of the Generation 1 theme.

Notes: The "Transformers, robots in disguise" clip used in the rock rendition of the theme seems to be taken from the original G1 Season 1 theme song. This trailer is composed mostly of actual gameplay footage with a smattering of cut scene footage thrown in.

Earth is not going to war. War is coming to Earth.

• PlayStation 2 Armada game trailer 2 [45]

Scenes of nature are followed by the Decpticons' arrival and subsequent battles with the Autobots.

The ultimate conflict begins.

Energon

2004

Energon Unicron? Where you been!?

• Scorponok and Optimus Prime [46]

Narration: Even Keel, with the cartoon's theme music.

Toy segment: Kids playing with the toys in what looks like a basement or maybe a warehouse.

Notes: Energon Unicron appears in the static shot of the toys at the end, as well as in the background of some of the other toy scenes. This suggests that a longer version of the commercial, which would feature Energon Unicron along with the other two toys, exists.

Eachsoldseparatelybatteriesnotincludedactualchangetimewillvary.

• Shockblast, Energon Ironhide, Jetfire [47]

Narration: Even Keel, with the cartoon's theme music.

Animation: Cartoon excerpts: Optimus Prime forms his super mode; The Air Team forms Superion Maximus, then attacks Constructicon Maximus and Bruticus Maximus.

Animation: Excerpts from Transformers: Energon.

Narration: Dramatic Guy

Toy segment: A whole little plot plays out in an impressive-looking diorama environment. Dark Crumplezone steals a silver-bordered Earth Cyber Key! He transforms into vehicle mode, uses the Cyber Key Power and races off with the heroic Autobots Downshift and Evac in hot pursuit! Oh noes! Crumplezone shoves Downshift off the cliff-edge road they are racing on. Downshift is transformed and grabs Evac's rescue rope, then blasts Crumplezone into oblivion. The Key is saved!

Kre-O

2011

• KRE-O TRANSFORMERS teaser trailer [95]

They came to our world... most have come to destroy us... some have come to protect us... and now there's a whole new way to battle, because the Transformers have never been built like this. The Transformers world has never been bigger. Bumblebee: "Never been smaller either."

Notes: Bumblebee's voice is not provided by any of his other voice actors. In fact it sounds similar to the voice [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Seth Green|{{#if:||Seth Green}}]] uses for [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Family Guy|{{#if:Chris Griffin|Chris Griffin|Family Guy}}]].

• KRE-O TRANSFORMERS Online Exclusive [96]

Uploaded June 30, 2011.

Uploaded October 30, 2012.

Animation: Tank Driver steals a shard of Dark Energon being held inside a bank. He is chased out by Security Officer and runs into the foot of Megatron, knocking him onto his back. Megatron grabs the Dark Energon shard, but Tank Driver hangs on, even with energy beginning to radiate from the crystal. Megatron gets decked by Optimus Prime. Somewhere else in the city, Optimus Prime speeds through an intersection and carelessly rams Megatron in his tank mode while a human watches from the nearby sidewalk. The collision results in an explosion which forces the human to flee from projectile debris. Optimus and Megatron then duke it out in robot mode, with humans fleeing the scene. A kick to Megatron's face allows Prime to recover the dark energon. Kreon Optimus throws Kreon Megatron behind bars with Tank Driver occupying an adjacent cell.

Toy segment: Sped up footage of the Prime and Megatron sets being built into robot form, torn down and then rebuilt into their vehicle forms.

2013

• KRE-O Transformers Micro Changers and Combiners Construction Sets [98]

Uploaded March 19, 2013.

Animation: A huge Kreon battle takes place on a lightly forested field. Springer takes down Ripclaw. Sliverbolt pounds Swindle into parts, then blasts Headlock. This happens just before Singe drives up, then transforms and leaps into a corkscrew spin, ending with a missile blast. Someone with a high pitched voice: (in dismay) "No, they're combining!" The Combaticons and Predacons combine. A blue generic, Springer, Warpath, and Singe are chased by Predaking and Bruticus. This causes the generic and Warpath to run into each other and Silverbolt, of all bots, to complain that the combiners are showoffs. Ripclaw torches Springer's backside.

Toy segment: A pan through half of the Wave 1 Microchangers plus Silverbolt and Firestrike. Fast motion transformation of Singe, Springer, Bludgeon, and Airachnid to vehicle mode. Fast motion combination of the Predacons and Combaticons into Predaking and Bruticus, respectively. A pan through various Preview Wave, Wave 1, and Combiner Microchangers.

Notes: Silverbolt is not voiced by Charlie Adler. Involved in the mega battle scene are a number of duplicates, presumably due to the cost of working up a whole bunch of different CGI models. The scene includes two each of Spinister, Torox and Headlock, three each of Ripclaw (one without wings), Springer, and Brawl, four Divebombs, five Warpaths and six each of Silverbolt and Singe. Know that, surprisingly, there's only one Razorclaw.

• Super Bowl XLVI Commercial [128]

Aired February 5, 2012. We appear to return to the broadcast of Super Bowl XLVI only to have the feed interrupted by a message from Optimus Prime. "Humans, you are in grave danger. The Decepticons have taken over, we need your help-" He is blasted then shoved out of the way by Megatron who "finishes" Optimus Prime's thought: "earthlings, and soon you will all perish!" The feed goes out as on screen text instructs us to "Prepare for Battle" and the narrator tells us to ride the attraction at Universal Studios.

Notes: Peter Cullen reprises his role as Optimus Prime while Frank Welker supplies the voice of Megatron.

• Commercial [129](Hollywood May 25)/[130](Orlando Now)

A metal bar appears out of ice vapor. Megatron takes a swing at Optimus Prime and misses, slamming his fist into the ground. The metal bar rotates as more ice vapor eminates from the bar. Bumblebee rips a small Decepticon apart. A hand reaches for the metal bar. An unidentified arm (with the hand at the end of that arm holding a gun) moves towards Bonecrusher and shoots him in the face. Grindor? runs. The hand completes its grip on the bar. Two more hands grab the bar. Optimus Prime tries to restrain Megatron with a chain but Megs is able to fire his cannon at the camera anyway. The bar is revealed to be part of a theme park ride being held two men and a woman all wearing 3D glasses. Devastator sucks a car into his mouth.

Construct-Bots

2013

• Toy ad #1 [135]

Animation: Bumblebee breaking out of his package; Bumblebee does the Cabbage Patch as Megatron comes up behind him and knocks him down with a back legsweep. Megatron is quite amused by this until Bumblebee turns the table by stripping Megatron's parts off in a tornado of action, leaving him "naked". At the end, Bumblebee busts through the wall seen behind the Construct-Bots Bumblebee and Soundwave figures, does a somersault and then points at the camera: "Build your Bot!"

Narration: Dynamic!

Toy segment: The Bumblebee Construct-bot figure is built to robot mode, changed to vehicle mode and customized with parts from Soundwave.

Notes: The narration switches from the narrator to Bumblebee without any change in voice. It's merely indicated by the animated Bumblebee's lips moving. Megatron's laugh, shriek and grunts are provided by an unknown voice actor. The animation was shared with the online video Switcheroo!

Now, you can build your bot your way!

Animation: The Bumblebee breaking out of his package intro is re-used here. Bumblebee transforms into his jet mode and flies around. Much to his dismay he encounters Megatron trying to shoot him down. He is saved by Optimus Prime ramming into Megatron in truck mode. Megatron is hit so hard, he not only goes flying but all his armor flies off, once again leaving him "naked". Optimus Prime transforms to robot mode.

Narration: Dynamic!

Toy segment: The Construct-Bots app is demonstrated on a tablet PC. The Bumblebee figure is set down next to his package and that of Soundwave.

Notes: Again, there is little to no distinction between the narrator voice and the Bumblebee voice. Megatron again has a laugh and shriek provided by an unknown actor. Thanks to the amount of animation and the app demonstration, the only actual toy footage is a seven second or so stretch of the Bumblebee figure being set down and then still visible on screen as CGI Bumblebee breaks through the wall, rolls forward and begins speaking to the camera.

Unleash your ultimate Optimus Prime!

• Cybertron Construction Zone on CartoonNetwork.com [137]

Animation: None.

Narration: Unknown.

Toy segment: Optimus Prime and Megatron laying on circular platforms with their parts spread out around them. A CGI robotic camera analyzes them, and the connected computer system counts 67 pieces for Optimus Prime, 68 for Megatron and declares that there will be no mixing. A set of human hands builds Optimus Prime but finishes by adding Megatron's faction symbol, to the astonishment of the narrator. The computer starts to flip out, noting that "This is against protocol." The narrator tells the computer to relax then instructs kids (with the help of their parents) to go to Cartoon Network's website to "construct, customize and convert your own ultimate custom bots."

Notes: The narrator refers to the camera/computer combo as 'Cyborg'.

Should've tried that years ago.

Angry Birds Transformers

2014

Game

• Comic-Con trailer [138]

Uploaded July 24, 2014. Red is deployed by a familiar looking space shuttle onto a beach dotted with palms. He runs across the beach and into a jungle, taking out a trio of pigs as he goes. Red stops at the sight of a pile of rocks which transforms into a robot in order to attack him. Red tries to fight back but finds his attack to be ineffective. This prompts him to use a telepod to call in King Pig to help him. After defeating the robot, Red goes to shake Pig's hand. Pig does the old "pull hand away and slick back your hair" trick and then laughs at Red. Jerk.

Holy crap Prime. It's just a Taco Bell.

• Cinematic trailer [139]

Uploaded August 29, 2014. A comet?, streak of light? cross the universe and deposits the AllSpark Egg onto a planet much like our own. The Angry Birds and Pigs race toward a standoff in a rocky, desert-like area. The Allspark egg turns them into the Autobirds and Deceptihogs. Nearby eggs are turned into the Eggbots, who open fire on both groups. They also start turning rocks into automated gun turrets. Red and King Pig have a tense arm wrestling lockup which causes rocks to start flying. This is interrupted by the Eggbots who draw the Autobirds' full attentions. The Autobirds destroy the turrets and chase the Eggbots off towards a volcano.

This trailer is an homage to the Season 1 title sequence of The Transformers complete with its own unique theme song (written in part by Vince DiCola himself) and the title text coming out from behind the volcano. The creators even went so far as to make the animation look like it's an authentic 1980's production ripped from a VHS tape with film defects and tracking issues.

Uploaded January 14, 2015. Optimus Prime Bird and Megatron Pig fist-bump as they drive up to the EggSpark. Megatron Pig reaches it first, and is entranced by its glow. Optimus Prime reaches out to him to be helped up... But Megatron Pig laughs maniacally in his face as the EggSpark upgrades him into Dark Megatron Pig! Dark Megatron Pig kicks Optimus Prime Bird away, and returns to the Deceptihogs' lair. He is followed by the Autobirds, who burst in to find... The Deceptihogs using the EggSpark as a dancelight.

This trailer is a sort of "sequel" to the Cinematic Trailer detailed above, animated in the same style. The gameplay footage highlights the "Deceptihogs' Revenge" update.

• Best Buddies [149]

Airachnid Bird does some yoga stretches, surrounded by japanese lanterns... but gets her leg stuck behind her neck. She hops past Megatron Pig, now at a punching bag. Optimus Prime Bird jogs across the countryside, and meets with Arcee Bird, Airachnid Bird, and Megatron Pig. They jump up in cheer together. Freezeframe.

Uploaded July 15, 2015. Optimus Prime Bird and Arcee Bird are on the run from some Flying Pigbots! Arriving at a cliff edge, they try to fight back, only to find that they are out of ammo. They duck behind a boulder for cover... And are rescued by Bluestreak Bird, teleporting in! Elsewhere, Heatwave Bird and Bumblebee Bird are driving by when... Aww, someone taped over this part with some gameplay footage!

This trailer is yet another one made to look as though it was ripped fram a VHS tape. In keeping with the theme, a short portion of another "commercial" can be seen before the Angry Birds: Transformers" footage begins.

Animation: Megatron battles it out on city street with Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and Grimlock. The three Autobots swap parts all the while and Prime borrows a few of Megs' parts at one point.

Narration: Unknown.

Toy segment: None.

Notes: This ad continues the long history of music in Transformers commercials. This time however, it isn't a rap. It's a parody of "The Hokey Pokey".

(Briskly, to the tune of "The Hokey Pokey") Optimus stumbles upon, pieces of Megatron. He tries them on for size, and they all fit to his surprise. More powerful than ever, enemies meet their demise, that's what it's all about. Autobots combine, Megatron's missiles miss. Using Grimlock's arms, they stop him with a dino fist. Taking bad guys down is easy, when you're mashing that with this. That's what it's all about.

Happy Meal box A pulls out a Yoplait GoGurt tube from behind his back, much to the delight of a second Happy Meal box. Happy Meal box B spins the GoGurt (and thereby also twists the arm of box A) like an airplane propeller. This causes box A to fly around like an airplane, eventually knocking down box B from behind. After B gets up and sees A fly away again, Bumblebee shows up. B hops into Bee's driver seat and starts pressing all around Bumblebee's interior touch screen controls, triggering his transformation. Once transformed, Bee is tickled by the Happy Meal box banging around inside him, trying to get out. Box B eventually manages to pop out of a hatch behind Bumblebee's head, and the zaniness of the whole thing gives both of them a good laugh. Box A flies through the still shot of the actual toys just before his arm propeller runs out of steam and he crashes.

A third kid then shouts "You're outnumbered now, Optimus Prime!" as he holds up his robot mode Thunderhoof figure. Kid number four takes a bite out of his McNugget and nods knowingly at kid number one. After the still shot of the four toys, we find out that in an incredible coincidence kid four got vehicle mode Bumblebee. He asks "Who's out numbered now?" and flicks the toy forward. As the toy leaves the frame, it's replaced by a yellow Chevy Camaro that the four boys take to be the real-life Bumblebee
