Transformers: Soldiers of Cybertron (2014 film)

Transformers: Soldiers of Cybertron is a 2014 Japanese-American theatrical animated action-adventure film with a story and idea written by Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, directed by Kenji Ono and produced by Hasbro Studios and Production I.G. with CGI elements by Sanzigen CGI-Animation Studio. The film will premiere in theatres for a limited time on July 25, 2014, with plans for worldwide home media release later in 2013, followed by broadcast on the Hasbro-owned Hub Network.

The film is based on the Transformers franchise, but re-envisions the characters, normally robots, as human characters fighting in a war of autobots and decepticons in the style of a soldier warfare, as inspired by both the Transformers Animated episode, Human Error, and the My Little Pony: Equestria Girls film. The film will mix both Transformers Prime, Animated, the Michael Bay Transformers franchise and the Rescue Bots series as it will have an anime-styled film. The film's release is tied in with the expansion of the Transformers toyline to include human versions of both Autobots and Decepticons.
