The
iconic TRANSFORMERS started off as a comic series in the 1980s before
evolving into an animated television series that depicts a war amongst
the Autobots and Decepticons that can transform from robots into
vehicles and other objects. Set against Cybertron and Earth, the series
showcases the Autobots’ continuous battle against the Decepticons to
protect the humans. It touches on teamwork and leadership, as showcased
by the affinity they have with each other and the respect they show to
their leader.
The event was in partnership with i2 Promotions.

TRANSFORMERS characters Optimus Prime and Bumblebee also made an

young and old. Avid fans also had the opportunity to witness a special

them occupied during the holidays. These include the Fastest Fingers
