What will the video drivers do for our phones? I read alot about it bu there has not been a reason for why anyone would want it or what it would do. Thanks to whom ever answers my question.

Short answer is they would provide both 2D and 3D hardware acceleration.

This will improve:

UI responsiveness
Battery life
Performance
Video Playback
Gaming

You see there's just a few reasons someone might want these drivers.

It will make them into transformers.

No, but it will make video playback better, and it is supposed to give us a huge perfomance upgrade if we get them (from what I have heard).
