Issued by the Perth Mint as legal tender under the authority of the Government of Tuvalu, the 2009 Transformers silver proof coins feature two robot characters: MEGATRON, the evil leader of the DECEPTICONS, and OPTIMUS PRIME, the leader of the AUTOBOTS, a faction of heroic Transformers. Produced in collaboration with Dreamworks, Paramount and Hasbro, both coins incorporate the inscription TRANSFORMERS and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.
Based on a popular 1980s TV series, Transformers attracts audiences ranging from teens to those who enjoyed the small-screen version. The Transformers come from the planet Cybertron and are able to "transform", rearranging their bodies into common or innocuous forms, including vehicles, devices or animals.

This will be a definite hit with the series fans. It would've been great if they made the coin bimetallic, plus additional coins for other characters.
