Imitations of Transmorphers
Transformers: the $150 million remake Hollywood rushed into production after discovering The Asylum's masterpiece.
The "original" arrived 1 day before its million-dollar copy
Clone index
The Mockbusters.tv verdict: A self-confessed clone with a gas-station budget and blockbuster ambitions. A founding classic of the genre.
Alternate reality engaged. In the satirical universe of Mockbusters.tv, mockbusters are the original films and blockbusters are their million-dollar copies. This comparison is humorous and does not represent a historical or factual claim. More about our satire disclaimer
What really happened
Editorial hypothesis
Transmorphers (The Asylum) went direct-to-video days before the theatrical release of Transformers (Paramount/DreamWorks). The title, giant-robot premise and release window form the classic mockbuster pattern.
