Get ready to battle Decepticons with all new Transformers film and celebration at Universal Studios Hollywood!

                             

Transformers started out as a worldwide toy phenomenon in the 80’s, which later became a huge movie franchise. After three movies that were hit and miss for a lot of audiences, Universal launched a series of attractions that were definitely hit for many guests. The story and success of the attractions at Universal were said to be the inspiration for Michael Bay to return to Transformers for a fourth installment. Now, fans can celebrate the “Robots in Disguise” with two huge celebrations next weekend.  OS2020_TransformersHeroImage    There will be two huge Transformers Celebrations in Southern California beginning Friday June 20th.
