SDCC 2024: Transformers One Releases Ominous New Posters

Transformers One has released some ominous new posters for the animated film during the San Diego Comic-Con 2024 weekend. Transformers might have gotten its start as an animated series, and has even hit theatrical screens in animated form, but the franchise is branching out in a whole new way with the first fully CG animated feature film coming to theaters later this Fall. Not only that, but Transformers One will be an entirely new kind of story exploring the pasts of Optimus Prime and Megatron before they went to war over Cybertron as seen in the main series in later entries.

Transformers One had quite a lot to share during the San Diego Comic-Con 2024 weekend, and these reveals have continued with some ominous new posters for the animated film. These showcase the “Orion Pax” and “D-16” characters in the shadow of their future Optimus Prime and Megatron selves, and ominously hint that this could be a much darker affair than fans might have expected at first. You can check out the newest look at Transformers One below as released during the very eventful weekend.
