The movie’s producer, Lorenzo di Bonaventura, has beforehand shared particulars concerning the film, hinting at an epic and unimaginable story.

Followers of the Transformers franchise are eagerly awaiting the discharge of this new animated film, which guarantees to deliver a recent tackle the beloved characters and their world. Transformers One is scheduled to be launched in theaters on July 19, 2024.
Bonaventura talked concerning the film being set on Cybertron, and he revealed that it’s going to inform the story of a younger Optimus Prime and Megatron:
“I might inform you actually necessary elements of this story, which is greater than a tease. That is one thing we had been attempting to do; we debated rather a lot about it in reside motion, and it simply was financially not possible to do, which is, the origin story of younger Megatron and younger Optimus. If the origin, they began as mates, and over time issues devolved for them and so they ended up on two sides. So we’re telling the younger Optimus and the younger Megatron story. We actually are telling the origin story of all Transformers, each what they had been initially of it, to how they develop, to how they develop aside.”
The producer stated he thinks that this story will arrange a “pure trilogy” that he desires to inform and there are different movies already being deliberate. He defined:
“We’re hoping that there’s sufficient emotional assemble to that, that might result in a trilogy of it as a result of, personally, I feel there’s a pure trilogy. I’m not all the time trying to do a number of films, however there’s a pure trilogy round their relationship. So, you’re going to see Cybertron in a approach you’ve by no means seen it, that nobody’s ever seen it earlier than. As a result of we’re doing an animation, we’re allowed to essentially go all out. For those who tried to make this live-action, it could most likely be a billion-dollar film or one thing.”
He went on to check the autumn of Cybertron to Superman and the destruction of Krypton, and in addition stated the variations of Optimus and Megatron that we meet on this film shall be completely different than how we’ve come to know them over time:
“You’re going to see plenty of the origins of the society, and what broke it aside. The analogy for me is a bit like Krypton while you noticed the planet falling aside, and all that. We’re not there for a short while, we’re there your entire time of the film, we’re on Cybertron, however we’re within the problem that, if the lore, they start to query the hierarchy of how their society has gotten stratified, and the way the frequent man doesn’t have the voice, totally, that they wish to have. We’re following very true to the origin story of it, and so it’s actually enjoyable, too, as a result of I’ve gotten to see a few of it – it’s not absolutely executed by any stretch of the creativeness, however listening to Optimus and Megatron not as who we all know them as, which we see their maturation on this expertise. So, in a way, you’re listening to a special character since you’re listening to them earlier than they’ve matured.”
Whereas the film is an origin story, it received’t be a “coming of age” story, di Bonaventura defined:
“It’s not a coming-of-age story. I don’t assume you’d consider that, in a approach, however I’d say they’re younger males who’re discovering their path. Like I stated, it’s greater than a tease, that’s what the story is, and that’s the expertise you’re going to undergo. And the way they query society, identical to all of us, too, might query our society. We’re perhaps not as sturdy as Megatron and Optimus, so perhaps we wouldn’t make the identical decisions, however I feel it’s actually going to be an eye-opener for the followers. For the non-fans, you’re going to get to fulfill the characters of their early formation.”
When speaking about how this subsequent Transformers animated film might spawn a trilogy, the producer talked about how that might work saying:
“I’d say this, we don’t spend plenty of time occupied with two and three as a result of it’s all the time arduous to do one properly. However there’s a pure trilogy popping out of this friendship the place you possibly can see the divisions and the potential sights to one another, and why that ought to play out over three films, could be very pure. So now we have a very good sense within the broadest phrases, however within the broadest phrases, we all know what the second film could be about and the third film could be about by the eyes of what this relationship’s going by. So the precise plotting, we haven’t labored on that, however how that relationship evolves, devolves, evolves, devolves, all that stuff, that’s what’s going to drive it if we get fortunate, if the primary one’s a hit.”
