The Force is a mysterious power in the Star Wars: Transformers continuity, and possibly the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.


I felt a great disturbance within the Force.

Vector Prime

Disturbance? That doesn't sound good!

Optimus Prime, "Fury"

Within their home galaxy, the Jedi and Sith religions claim to derive power from a bioenergy field which they call the "Force". Its true nature is unknown, but it has been suggested that it shapes not only the abilities of these two militant orders, but also grants a bond with combat mecha, allowing a starfighter or ground attack vehicle to reshape itself into a humanoid robotic (though non-sentient) form.

Curiously, the ancient Transformer Vector Prime has claimed to be a Force-sensitive. This could be due to a relationship between the Force and the Allspark, though if so, we do not know if any of the other Thirteen share this ability.

Behind the Scenes

· Early promotional text for the Star Wars: Transformers toyline described it as "The Power of the Force meets the Power of the Allspark!" Lacking any fiction to document such a meeting, and having only Vector Prime's one-off line to make any connections, fans can only speculate. Or blame the Unicron Singularity. Yeah, that works.

· On the other side of the crossover, those in charge of sorting out Star Wars continuity have been systematically explaining any instances of "magic" (such as from the Endor TV-movies) as variant Force traditions. If the Force exists in the Unicron Trilogy (and possibly other Transformers continuities, given Vector Prime's multiversal crossings), it may be that characters such as Mara-Al-Utha or Beorht are also Force users.... though any declaration of such lies firmly in the realm of fanon.


That's no moon... Wookieepedia has content relating to the Force.
Wookieepedia knows more about Star Wars than you do.
