A spatial and cinematic feat, a historic first!
Transformers One stands out as the first animated Transformers film since the 1986 classic, and it takes place entirely on Cybertron, the Transformers' home planet. The story explores the tumultuous origins of two of this universe's most iconic figures: Optimus Prime and Megatron. Once brothers in arms, their destiny led them to become sworn enemies, thus triggering a war between the Autobots and the Decepticons.
During this 3-minute trailer, the fans' first theories seem to be confirmed! Warning: potential spoiler! According to some rumors, the plot of Transformers One could take an innovative approach, drawing inspiration from the origins of superheroes. The characters will acquire their transformation abilities during the film, requiring training to master their use. This intriguing prospect raises the question of whether transformation will be presented as a new technique or an ancient practice rediscovered throughout history.
