Morphology
Transformers = transformer (transparent) = transform + er + s
Regular plural formation from 'transformer'; the meaning 'multiple transformers' is directly inferable.
Etymology
Transformers comes from the verb 'transform', made of trans- 'across' and form 'shape', so it literally means 'change shape'. Think of the toys and robots that switch from cars or planes into people-like machines — they 'change shape', which is why the franchise is called Transformers.
