Friday morning brought exciting news for ‘Transformers’ fans as the new trailer for ‘Transformers One’ was unveiled. This feature-length animated movie explores the origin story of Orion Pax, a.k.a. Optimus Prime, voiced by Chris Hemsworth, and D-16, a.k.a. Megatron, voiced by Bryan Tyree Henry. It follows their journey from best friends to enemies on the planet Cybertron.
Keegan-Michael Key voices B-127, an early version of Bumblebee, and Scarlett Johansson lends her voice to another Transformer named Elita . Unlike the live-action ‘Transformers’ movies, which depict the robots as battle-ready from birth, ‘Transformers One’ presents a fresh narrative, revealing the characters’ transformative journey.
The film delves into the deep bond between Orion Pax and D-16, shedding light on the events that ultimately led to their epic clash. Directed by Josh Cooley, ‘Transformers One’ promises to be an engaging addition to the franchise.
The trailer was unveiled at the 2024 San Diego Comic-Con, featuring new footage and three extended clips from the movie. ‘Transformers One’ is set to hit theaters on September 20, 2024.
