It has been 40 years since the creation of Transformers. This franchise, which was born as a series of toys, refuses to die, returning every now and then with a new iteration that captivates a new audience. Now excelling in both film and comics, it seems that they don’t have as prominent a place as they did ten years ago, even though it is a franchise that is in good health. Such good health, in fact, that it has just released a new movie.
In justice, the film is a short film of just under four minutes. With music by Bump of Chicken and animated by the masters of Trigger, a studio widely known for series like Cyberpunk Edgerunners or the adaptation of Dungeon Meshi, they have released this video as a way to celebrate the franchise’s fortieth anniversary. And as it couldn’t be otherwise, it is spectacular both in animation and in music and the number of references it has.
Although brief, it is one of the most well-rounded audiovisual pieces of Transformers that have appeared in the last decade and a half. If not in the entire history of the franchise. And as such, it is worth highlighting. Because the collaboration between Transformers, Studio Trigger, and Bump of Chicken is so fabulous that, after these four minutes, they make us dream of the possibility of a feature film signed by the studio.
