Transmorphers is a science fiction alien invasion film released direct-to-DVD on June 26, 2007. It was written and directed by Leigh Scott and produced by David Michael Latt and The Asylum, a movie studio known for making low budget films to capitalize on the release of larger ones. While deviating greatly from the plot of Transformers, the film contains plotlines similar to the films The Matrix, Terminator, and X-Men.

However, there were some positive reviews: Felix Vasquez Jr. from Cinema Crazed said, "Worth your time. And no, Asylum didn't pay me to say that..."[1].
