What is Transformers One about? 

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. While working waste management in the bowels of Cybertron, Orion and D-16 meet workers B-127, a.k.a. Bumblebee, and Ariel, a.k.a. Elita-1, before embarking on a dangerous journey to the planet’s surface world.

“We did our take on the origin, which is still staying true to the lore of Transformers,” Cooley told ComicBook of the first-ever CG-animated Transformers movie, adding that Optimus Prime’s origin story is “something we’ve never seen before on screen.” “I wouldn’t say that this is a direct prequel to anything that’s been done with live-action ones,” the director added. “But it’s definitely its own story as well.”

The star-studded voice cast includes Jon Hamm (Mad Men) as Sentinel Prime, Steve Buscemi (Transformers: The Last Knight) in an undisclosed villain role, and Laurence Fisburne (The Matrix) as Alpha Trion — sworn protector of Vector Sigma, the mega-computer at the heart of Cybertron — who unlocks the Transformers’ full potential, giving the ‘bots the ability to transform. The new movie comes from Paramount Animation (The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run), Hasbro Entertainment (Transformers: EarthSpark), and New Republic Pictures (The Tiger’s Apprentice).

Transformers One opens only in theaters Sept. 20th.
