OPTIMUS PRIME, MEGATRON, BUMBLEBEE, STARSCREAM, JAZZ and more-they're the TRANSFORMERS, an alien race of mechanical beings that can instantly change into alternate forms. These ROBOTS IN DISGUISE crash-landed on Earth millions of years ago, after their home planet of CYBERTRON had been devastated by war. Re-animated in a modern world, the two warring factions continue to clash, with the heroic AUTOBOTS fighting for freedom and justice against the evil DECEPTICONS.
Our salute to TRANSFORMERS-and the homegrown talent behind the scenes-features the legendary hero andchampion of peace, OPTIMUS PRIME. Through ultra high relief engraving, the face of the AUTOBOTS pushes out from the coin's surface, where the character's name is inscribed in CYBERTRONIANlettering. We've also added a special feature for the fans: photo-luminescent technology to ensure the colourful eyes will glow.

The TRANSFORMERS were first introduced to Canadians in 1984 with the launch of HASBRO's original toy line. It was a multimedia franchise, withcomic book tie-ins, an animated series, merchandising and a feature film.
Canadian actor Peter Cullen was the voice of both OPTIMUS PRIME and IRONHIDE in the original television series. The Canadian connection doesn't end there: several other incarnations were produced in Canada and/or featured Canadian animators and voice actors.
