SYNOPSIS
Introduced in 1984, the Transformers brand took the world by storm with its compelling saga of the Autobots versus the Decepticons. The innovative "Robots in Disguise" resulted in a tremendously successful toy line from Hasbro and Takara, comic book series, television program and an animated feature film. More than 20 years later, a new generation has discovered the excitement of the Transformers brand and its legendary characters, including the two leaders of the opposing sides: Optimus Prime and Megatron. Today, the franchise features a popular toy line, an animated series on the Cartoon Network and a chart-topping comic book series from IDW Publishing.

Transformers...The Big Picture
By Chad McComas

There is a battle over the earth. Evil forces want to destroy the world and the people in it. Good forces want to protect the world and the people in it…to the point of being willing to give up its own life. People have a choice to partner up with the good forces or choose to not believe that the good forces are exactly that…good. Some fight the good while ignoring that there truly is a bad force.

No…this isn’t the Bible story, but the story line from the new film Transformers. Interesting name. A transformer is something that can take on another form from what it truly is. It can imitate something else. Much like a chameleon it blends in to not be seen, but can come to life when it needs to.

Transformers entertains with scene after scene of incredible stunts and imagery, but perhaps the best gift this film gives is to remind us of another story of good and evil that truly is “transforming.”

God gave earth the “power” to choose. Each person has the same choice. Each can choose to follow a good God that intents to rescue us from evil or each person can choose to ignore the good God and believe that there isn’t any evil. Believing there is not evil doesn’t make it true. Rather to believe there is no god just allows evil to have its way with us. In the end when evil wins, we lose.

The best thing we can do is be linked up with a good God who is determined to not hurt humans, but rescue them from the destructive plans of evil. As we link up and fight evil together we are all transformed. We become confident. We become passionate. We become a strong force that evil struggles to contain.
