Today, the Transformersfranchise is a global phenomenon, thanks in large part to a record-breaking run of live-action blockbuster movies. But its roots lie in the 1980s, when it began as a range of toys before spinning off into a Marvel comic and a classic animated TV series. This book is the most comprehensive, authoritative guide ever to be published on that original incarnation of the Transformers (known officially as the 'Generation One' era).
The toys, the comics and the animated series all receive in-depth coverage, with plot synopses, reviews and unprecedentedly detailed notes on the stories' continuity. In addition, the book contains essays on various aspects of the fiction and its production; biographical data for all key personnel; and much more besides. In short, this book contains everything a fan would ever need to know about the original incarnation of the Transformers.
Whether you're a long-time devotee with a collection of battered old comics and VHS tapes, or a newcomer encountering the early years of the franchise for the first time through more recently-issued trade paperback reprints and DVDs, there is something here for everyone

Описание:
Adaptations in the Franchise Era re-evaluates adaptation's place in a popular culture marked by the movement of content and audiences across more media borders than ever before. While adaptation has historically been understood as the transfer of stories from one medium to another-more often than not, from novel to film-the growing interconnectedness of media and media industries in the early twenty-first century raises new questions about the form and function of adaptation as both a product and a process. Where does adaptation fit within massive franchises that span pages, stages, screens, and theme parks?
Rising scholar Kyle Meikle illuminates adaptation's enduring and essential role in the rise of franchises in the 2000s and 2010s. During that decade-and-a-half, adaptations set the foundation for multiplexed, multiplied film series, piloted streaming television's forays into original programming, found their way into audiences' hands in apps and video games, and went live in theatrical experiences on Broadway and beyond. The proliferation of adaptations was matched only by a proliferation of adaptation, as fans remixed and remade their favourite franchises online and off-. This volume considers how producers and consumers defined adaptations-and how adaptations defined themselves-through the endless intertextual play of the franchise era.
Описание: Explores how fans intervene in the production of mass media. Scholars analyse the negotiations between fan desires for both novelty and familiarity that franchises must maintain in order to achieve critical and commercial success.
Описание: A rare look at the role of special effects in creating fictional worlds and transmedia franchises
From comic book universes crowded with soaring superheroes and shattering skyscrapers to cosmic empires set in far-off galaxies, today's fantasy blockbusters depend on visual effects. Bringing science fiction from the studio to your screen, through film, television, or video games, these special effects power our entertainment industry. More Than Meets the Eye delves into the world of fantastic media franchises to trace the ways in which special effects over the last 50 years have become central not just to transmedia storytelling but to worldbuilding, performance, and genre in contemporary blockbuster entertainment.
More Than Meets the Eye maps the ways in which special effects build consistent storyworlds and transform genres while traveling seamlessly from one media platform to the next. Examining high-profile franchises in which special effects have played a constitutive role such as Star Trek, Star Wars, The Matrix, and The Lord of the Rings, as well as more contemporary franchises like Pirates of the Caribbean and Harry Potter, Bob Rehak analyzes the ways in which production practices developed alongside the cultural work of industry professionals. By studying social and cultural factors such as fan interaction, this book provides a context for understanding just how much multiplatform storytelling has come to define these megahit franchises. More Than Meets the Eye explores the larger history of how physical and optical effects in postwar Hollywood laid the foundation for modern transmedia franchises and argues that special effects are not simply an adjunct to blockbuster filmmaking, but central agents of an entire mode of production.
