More than meets the eye
Transformers turned shape-shifting robots into blockbuster heroes, and this word search gathers its world. You'll start with AUTOBOT leader OPTIMUS PRIME, the plucky BUMBLEBEE, and their enemy, DECEPTICON warlord MEGATRON.
Each puzzle pulls a fresh selection from the list, so the battle is rearranged every time you play — gentle on Easy for new readers, and a Hard-mode war once the diagonals and backwards words appear.
Two armies, one planet
Both sides are here. Track down Autobots IRONHIDE, RATCHET and JAZZ, Decepticons STARSCREAM and SOUNDWAVE, the home world of CYBERTRON, and the power sources ALLSPARK and ENERGON — sometimes called the CUBE. There's the human ally WITWICKY, the SPARK of life inside every ROBOT, and the ability to TRANSFORM from vehicle to BOT at will.
From toy box to the big screen
The Transformers started life in the 1980s as a line of Hasbro toys — robots that folded up into cars, planes and trucks — quickly backed by a hit cartoon and comic. Their slogans, 'Robots in disguise' and 'More than meets the eye', became instantly familiar to a generation of kids.
Director Michael Bay brought them to live-action cinema in 2007, using groundbreaking computer effects to make the giant robots transform on screen in dazzling detail. The films turned the heroic Optimus Prime and the lovable Bumblebee into blockbuster stars and grew into a huge action franchise.
