Paramount has shared four new character posters from TRANSFORMERS ONE, including Optimus Prime, Megatron, and Bumblebee.
Yesterday, Paramount Pictures took us back to Cybertron to unveil the first trailer for TRANSFORMERS ONE. The animated movie is emerging from the Space Bridge and into cinemas this October, and eager to ensure we are all suitably excited, the studio has shared the first character posters from the film.
The film is the first animated Transformers film in 40 years and promises to take us back to an era before the Cybertron wars. It will explore an era previously unexplored on film and reveal the origins of two of the franchise’s most influential characters: OPTIMUS PRIME and MEGATRON. In true Transformers fashion, the two pillars of the franchise lead the charge on the character posters. But this time, they are joined by Alita One and Bumblebee. But before we get ahead of ourselves, Transform and roll out to explore the posters below.
OPTIMUS PRIME (ORION PAX)
MEGATRON (D-16)
BUMBLEBEE (B-127)

SYNOPSIS
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.
RETURN TO CYBERTRON
As mentioned above, the film will take us back to a time before the war on Cybertron and explore the relationship between Prime and Megatron before becoming bitter rivals. Prime, then known as Orion Pax, and Megatron, then D-16, went from the closest of friends to sworn enemies as the battle lines were drawn between the Autobots and Decepticons. As the war between the factions intensified, their relationship broke down, setting them off on a path that would see both sides rampage across the cosmos.
A STELLAR CAST
Paramount has amassed a colossal cast for this latest adventure to bring the film home. Chris Hemsworth stars as Orion Pax, and Brian Tyree Henry stars as D-16. Rounding out the cast are Scarlett Johansson as Elita-1 and Keegan-Michael Key as B-127. Steve Buscemi, Laurence Fishburne, and Jon Hamm also lend their voices to Transformers.
RELEASE
It has been quite a while since TRANSFORMERS fans have had the chance to enjoy an animated adventure on the big screen, but the film promises to be an epic ride. The animation looks impressive, making it one of the standout movie events of the fall. However, fans have had a mixed reaction since the trailer’s release. Some have questioned the need for the film, while others have voiced concerns about the appearance of Optimus Prime and Megatron. Either way, the Transformers are making a comeback on the big screen, and fans can finally yell, “Til all are one!”
TRANSFORMERS ONE will be released in UK cinemas on October 11th, 2024. Mark the date on your calendar and prepare to roll out with the Autobots.
