Transformers :{D

Transformers is a movie about a war that was between the noble Autobots and the devious Decepticons for control over the Allspark, a mystical piece that would grant unlimited power to whoever possessed it. The Autobots managed to smuggle the Allspark off the planet, but Megatron went off in search of it. He eventually tracked it in Earth but his hasty desire for power sent him right into the Ocean, and he got paralized. His body was later found. Megatron engraved a map, showing the location of the Allspark, into the Captain's glasses, and send a signal to Cybertron. A century later, Sam Witwickyby buys his first car. He discovers it to be Bumblebee, an Autobot in disguise who is to protect Sam, as he has the Captain's glasses and the map carved on them. But Bumblebee is not the only Transformer to have arrived on Earth. The Decepticons attack a U.S. military base, causing the Pentagon to send to capture all alien race. and Sam and his girlfriend find themselves in the middle of a grand battle between the Autobots and the Decepticons.

The movie Transformers relates to the ideas of imperialism because one stronger nation is opressing a weaker one. The stronger nation in the movie would have to be the Autobots and Decepticons, leaving the human race as the weak ones. The Decepticons are threatened by the earth, since that is where their most prized possession is at. They completely attack the earth in search of the Allspark. The Autobots feel that hurting innocent people is not necessary, so they defend humanity and fight to keep the Allstar safe. In the end the Decepticons are defeated and the Allstar is kept in good hands. Althought imperialism is not obvious, it is used in Transformers.
