Today we acknowledge the bizarrely cast Transformers film (Jon Voight and John Turturro?) by noting the release of the delightfully titled Transmorphers on DVD. Transmorphers comes to us from The Asylum, a production company that's found its niche in making direct-to-video cheapie parody/ripoff/reference/trickery films to capitalize on major releases (the next is Invasion of the Pod People).

Transmorphers, to its credit, was shot as an independent property called Robot Wars (one might say "not to be confused with Robot Jox 2: Robot Wars," except that Asylum's twin-pronged attack consists of intellectual-property confusion and conflation, so presumably they would welcome it) and retitled Transmorphers for fairly obvious purposes.

Transformers sequel talk has been kicking into gear over the last week or so.
