Transformers One stars Chris Hemsworth (Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga) and Brian Tyree Henry (Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire) introduced the first trailer for the animated prequel as it made history by being launched into space. The two-minute trailer with a goofy vibe shows the early days of Orion Pax and D-16, long before they transformed into Optimus Prime and Megatron.
Hemsworth voices Orion Pax/Optimus Prime and Tyree Henry voices D-16/Megatron in the first ever CG-animated Transformers movie. Scarlett Johansson voices Elita-1 and Keegan-Michael Key is B-127. Steve Buscemi, Laurence Fishburne, and Jon Hamm also lend their voices to the prequel.
“Transformers One is the untold origin story of Optimus Prime and Megatron, better known as sworn enemies, but once were friends bonded like brothers who changed the fate of Cybertron forever,” reads Paramount Animation and Habro’s synopsis.
Toy Story 4‘s Josh Cooley directs and Lorenzo di Bonaventura, Tom DeSanto, Don Murphy, Michael Bay, Mark Vahradian, and Aaron Dem serve as producers. Executive producers include Steven Spielberg, Zev Foreman, Olivier Dumont, Brian Oliver, B.J. Farmer, and Matt Quigg.
Transformers One, based on Hasbro’s popular toy line, opens in theaters on September 20, 2024.
