10 Media Franchises That Need The LEGO Treatment

10. Transformers

The main five films in the Transformers film franchise have earned over four billion dollars worldwide since 2007, nearly five billion if the 2018 spin-off film, Bumblebee, in included. Despite not always bringing home the strongest critical reception, especially in the case of 2017’s Transformers: The Last Knight, the franchise has been popular worldwide with a variety of audiences.

Originally being based on the toy line of the same name developed by Hasbro, the franchise might seem unfit for the LEGO treatment, simply swapping one toy line for another. However, if Hasbro and LEGO could come together on the project, the Transformers universe has a wide cast of exciting characters that would work well in the LEGO style. The movies have a host of human characters that the plot can focus around, and LEGO would be able to make it so the Transformer characters can switch between minifigures or ‘Big Figs’ into LEGO vehicles.

The five main movies have a host of content to provide levels for a LEGO game, as well as Bumblebee if Traveller’s Tales need additional material. On top of this, LEGO could use classic designs of characters from other Transformers media, such as the original G1 designs or designs from the Robots in Disguise animated series. A variety of fan favourite transformers never made appearances on screen, and using these classic designs from the Transformers toy line would be a great way to pull in fans.
