Transmorphers: Fall of Man (previously known as Transmorphers 2) is a 2009 prequel to the 2007 film Transmorphers.
Despite being the first original sequel to a mockbuster, it is not the very first mockbuster sequel, which was War of the Worlds 2: The Next Wave (2005), an extension of Asylum's adaptation of The War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells.

The film takes place prior to the events of Transmorphers. The Earth, largely concerned with minor matters, fails to notice the arrival of the Transmorphers, a race of robots that are piloted by extraterrestrial beings.
The machines invoke a cybernetic revolt, using their advanced technology to destroy the opposition posed by the world armies and thus quickly seize control of the Earth, forcing the remainder of the human race underground.
Transmorphers: Fall of Man was released June 30, 2009 (less than a week after the premiere of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen).[1]
Scott Wheeler directs the film, replacing Transmorphers director Leigh Scott, and the film was also The Asylum's first film to be released on Blu-ray disc.[2]
Felix Vasquez Jr. of Cinema Crazed, who gave the original Transmorphers a positive review,[3] said, "There are moments when Transmorphers 2 rises to the occasion and injects a sense of urgency to the proceedings, but it takes too long for anything to happen. It's one long stretch of boring with a few hits of excitement, but the cons drastically affect the pros."[4]
