Transformers Exhibition Part 01: Introduction

     

INTRODUCTION
The Transformers 30th Anniversary exhibition at Science Centre showcases 30 years of the history of Transformers and relives the classic movie scenes and robots in stunning life-like depiction. Optimus Prime and Bumblebee will be guarding Singapore and greeting their human allies at the military base inside the exhibition! If you ever wondered how their stories have evolved through the years, join us and experience Transformers from a brand new perspective.

       
THE BIRTH OF TRANSFORMERS
Before the dawn of time, The One, also known as the Source and the sentient core of the Universe, is an extra-dimensional entity in whom order and chaos exist in perfect harmony. The One created the astral being Unicron, which was then split in half - one remained Unicron while the other became Primus.

While Primus embodied order and justice upon his birth, Unicron was left with chaos and evil, which gave him a sense of fallen existence. Thus began the longtime battle between the two. Their rampaging feud brought them to the physical world, where they were accidentally trapped inside metallic elements - which eventually paved their way to become gigantic robots. Then Primus turned into the planet Cybertron and created the 13 original Primes, who were each infused with a fragment of Primus' life essence known as AllSpark, to help himself in his war against Unicron. When the war was over, Unicron was sucked into a black hole and vanished from reality. Meanwhile, Primus entered his eons-long slumber, and the original 13 Primes began to create other robots. Thus began the story of the Transformers.

The Dark Lord of the Sith is probably infuriated by the lack of color in his armor, looking more grey than black.
