Transformers is a 2007 live action film adaptation of the Transformers franchise. The film stars Shia LaBeouf as Sam Witwicky, a teenager involved in a war between the heroic Autobots and the evil Decepticons: two races of alien robots who can disguise themselves by transforming into everyday machinery. The Decepticons desire control of the Allspark, the object that created their robotic race, with the intention of using it to build an army by giving life to the machines of Earth. Megan Fox, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson, Jon Voight and John Turturro also star, while Peter Cullen and Hugo Weaving provide the voices of Optimus Prime and Megatron respectively. The film was directed by Michael Bay and written by Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman.

Development of the film began with a 2003 treatment written by producers Don Murphy and Tom DeSanto. Executive producer Steven Spielberg acquired the treatment the following year, and he hired Orci, Kurtzman and Bay on the project in 2005. The filmmakers wanted a realistic depiction of the story, and created a complex design aesthetic for the robots to stress their alien nature. The computer-generated characters were programmed to have thousands of mechanical pieces move as they transformed and maneuvered. The military of the United States and General Motors lent vehicles and aircraft during filming, which saved money for the production and added realism to the battle scenes.

Hasbro organized an enormous promotional campaign for the film, making deals with hundreds of companies. This advertising blitz included a viral marketing campaign, coordinated releases of Transformers prequel comics books, Transformers toys and books, as well as product placement deals with GM and eBay. Transformers was a box office success despite mixed fan reaction to the radical redesigns of the characters, and reviews criticizing the focus on the humans at the expense of the robots. It became the twenty-eighth most successful film released, and the fifth most successful of 2007, grossing approximately US$706 million worldwide. The film revitalized media interest in the franchise, and a sequel is expected for release on June 26, 2009. The film won four awards from the Visual Effects Society and was nominated for three Academy Awards.

Pictured right is Autobot Cliffjumper Allspark Power - Deluxe Class

Autobot Cliffjumper is a Deluxe Class Transformer Action Figure. When in robot mode he is ready for action with his canon that converts to blade. He transforms into a Camaro vehicle.

Backstory:

Surly and impatient, Cliffjumper is almost the exact opposite of his friend Bumblebee. Where Bumblebee is sneaky and careful, Cliffjumper is just loud. He'd rather find the nearset Decepticon and blow him away then sneak around gathering intelligence. If you know where the bad guys are, you really don't need to know anything else, reasons Cliffjumper. Why not just start blasting and pick up any data you need afterwards from the smoking wreckage? With Megatron and the Allspark destroyed, hunting Decepticons is easier - and more fun - than ever.
