Transformers One is a 2024 American animated science fiction action film based on Hasbro's Transformers toy line. It was directed by Josh Cooley from a screenplay by Eric Pearson and the writing duo of Andrew Barrer and Gabriel Ferrari, based on a story by Barrer and Ferrari. The ensemble voice cast includes Chris Hemsworth, Brian Tyree Henry, Scarlett Johansson, Keegan-Michael Key, Steve Buscemi, Laurence Fishburne, and Jon Hamm. The film depicts the origins and early relationship of Optimus Prime and Megatron and how they forever changed the fate of Cybertron, the home planet of the Transformers. It is the franchise's first theatrical animated feature film since The Transformers: The Movie (1986).

In March 2015, following the release of Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014), Paramount Pictures tasked Akiva Goldsman to set up a writers' room to create ideas for potential future Transformers films. By May 2015, Barrer and Ferrari had signed on as writers, and they came up with the idea of an animated prequel set on Cybertron. The film was announced in August 2017, and by April 2020, Cooley had been hired to direct. Animation services were provided by Industrial Light & Magic and the score was composed by Brian Tyler.

Transformers One premiered in Sydney, Australia on September 11, 2024, and was released by Paramount Pictures in the United States on September 20, 2024. The film received largely positive reviews from critics, who praised the story, humor, action sequences, animation and voice cast performances.

Plot

[edit]

On Cybertron, Energon miner Orion Pax sneaks into an archive and watches a recording about the creation of the first thirteen Primes, who were said to have perished in a war with the alien Quintessons many years ago, with the mystical artifact known as the Matrix of Leadership being lost in their battle. Orion is caught by security, though his best friend, D-16, rescues him. Meanwhile, Sentinel Prime, the head of Cybertron, speaks about fighting the Quintessons and finding the Matrix of Leadership, the absence of which has caused Cybertron's Energon rivers to dry up, which the Cybertronians need to survive. After an explosion in the mines traps Jazz, Orion and D-16 attempt to save him, causing a cave-in that leads to fellow worker Elita-1's firing.

At the Iacon 5000 race, Orion and D-16 secretly enter, but lose and are forced by an angry security guard, who was knocked out of the Iacon 5000 race by them, to a smelting area at Sublevel 50, where they meet B-127. The three of them then discover a chip with a message from Alpha Trion, one of the Primes, revealing a map to his location on the planet's surface. The three hitchhike on a train to the surface, inadvertently bringing Elita with them, and eventually discover Trion and the corpses of the other Primes inside a cavern. Trion reveals that Sentinel betrayed the Primes, allied with the Quintessons, and has secretly been removing transformation cogs from bots, as well as giving the majority of their Energon to the Quintessons. Trion then gives Orion's team the fallen Primes' cogs, allowing them to transform, but a group of Sentinel's soldiers arrive, capturing Alpha Trion and bringing him to Sentinel, who in turn kills him.

The team plans to expose Sentinel with a chip Trion gave them, while D-16 desires to kill him. They are captured by the former members of Cybertron's High Guard, led by Starscream, who refuse to help. D-16 seizes control of the High Guard by attacking Starscream, but Sentinel's forces arrest them. During the battle, the chip is destroyed, and Orion and Elita are buried under debris, while D-16 and B-127 are captured.

Orion, encouraged by Elita, rallies the uncaptured High Guard. D-16, tortured by Sentinel, is branded with Megatronus Prime's symbol and learns that Sentinel stole Megatronus' transformation cog. Orion leads a rebellion in Iacon with the help of fellow miners, exposing Sentinel's corruption. D-16 attempts to execute Sentinel, but accidentally shoots Orion in the process when he jumps in the way. While initially horrified by what happens, D-16 decides that Orion is in his way and chooses to let Orion fall into Cybertron's core. D-16 proceeds to kill Sentinel, take his cog, and declare himself the ruler of Cybertron, renaming himself Megatron, while the High Guard then begins ransacking Iacon.

Orion is revived by the Primes, receiving the Matrix of Leadership and becoming Optimus Prime. He returns to stop Megatron's destruction in a huge battle, exiling him and the High Guard. Enraged that Optimus has been given the Matrix, Megatron swears revenge. Afterward, the Matrix restores transformation cogs to the bots of Iacon and Energon flows again, with Optimus christening his followers as Autobots and sending a message to the Quintessons to stay away.

Meanwhile, Megatron renames the High Guard into the Decepticons, seeking control of Cybertron.

Production

[edit]

Development

[edit]

Following the release of Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014), Paramount Pictures tasked Akiva Goldsman in March 2015 to work with the film franchise's director Michael Bay, executive producer Steven Spielberg, and producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura to set up a writers' room to create ideas for future Transformers films.[10] According to Goldsman, the writing team would look at various Transformers media created by Hasbro for inspiration; if they found one that interested them, they could submit a treatment, which would then be further developed by the whole team.[11] In late May, the team of Andrew Barrer and Gabriel Ferrari signed on as writers. According to Deadline Hollywood, one of the ideas from the writer's room had the working title Transformers One[12] and would serve as an animated prequel focusing on the Autobot–Decepticon conflict that began on Cybertron.[13][14]

In August 2017, it was reported that an animated Transformers film was officially in the works.[15] Following the release of Bumblebee (2018), di Bonaventura discussed the animated film, clarifying that it was "in the works" and would "tell the whole Cybertron mythology".[16] Bumblebee director Travis Knight additionally expressed interest in the film.[17][18]

Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura and director Josh Cooley in 2024

In April 2020, it was reported that former Pixar animator and filmmaker Josh Cooley had been hired to direct the film and was overseeing the script by Barrer and Ferrari. Hasbro Entertainment and Paramount Animation would produce the film.[19] In February 2022, it emerged that the film would be computer-animated.[20] In December 2022, the title was reported to be Transformers: A New Generation, though di Bonaventura later stated in April 2023 that the title had yet to be finalized.[21][22] Later that month, at CinemaCon, the title was officially confirmed as Transformers One.[7] di Bonaventura stated that the plot will center around the origins of the Transformers, and explore the events that lead Optimus and Megatron to go from being brothers-in-arms to becoming enemies.[23] In May, Deadline Hollywood reported that Steve Desmond and Michael Sherman contributed to the screenplay.[24]

Writing

[edit]

Eric Pearson, Barrer, and Ferrari received screenplay credit, with the latter two also having "story by" billing.[25][26] When Cooley first joined the project, Hasbro gave him a bible that covered the lore for the entire franchise.[27] According to di Bonaventura, the film's events are set 3 billion years before the live-action films.[28] Cooley wanted to capture an "epic quality" and grand scale for the film and used The Transformers: The Movie (1986) and Dune (1965) as points of reference.[29] As there are no human characters in Transformers One as they are in previous films in the franchise, Cooley and the team aimed to "inject more comedy and humanity" into the Transformers themselves. They wanted to make sure that the characters had enough humor and emotion to carry the story on their own.[29] The film depicts how the Transformers gained the ability to transform, an idea Cooley found appealing. He felt that there was fun in seeing the characters learn and adapt to their new powers.[29]

The relationship between Optimus Prime and Megatron and the tragedy of their falling out is the emotional core of the film. For Cooley, it was important to show that Megatron was not just a villain. He wanted people who had no knowledge of Transformers to come into the film and not be able to immediately pick up who was going to be good or bad.[27] He took inspiration from several famous brothers-turned-enemies stories from across pop culture when crafting the arc.[30] An original idea for the film was to depict Megatron as a gladiator and have him and Optimus Prime come from different backgrounds. Due to runtime constraints, that idea was scrapped in favor of having the two be bunkmates working as miners instead.[31]

Casting and voice recording

[edit]
Chris Hemsworth and Brian Tyree Henry in 2024

The voice cast of the film was announced at CinemaCon in April 2023, consisting of Chris Hemsworth and Brian Tyree Henry as younger versions of Optimus Prime and Megatron, respectively, alongside Scarlett Johansson, Keegan-Michael Key, Jon Hamm, and Laurence Fishburne headlining.[7] In April 2024, Steve Buscemi, who had previously voiced Daytrader in Transformers: The Last Knight (2017), was cast as Starscream.[32][33][8] Cooley desired to get a voice cast as impressive as that of The Transformers: The Movie.[30]

Transformers One marks Hemsworth's first animated feature film. The actor joined the project after being impressed with the screenplay.[34] Hemsworth made efforts to not use his regular speaking voice for Optimus Prime.[34] Many of Hemsworth's lines in the film were "riff offs" from what the filmmakers wrote, bringing his charisma and comedy to them. From a fan's point of view, di Bonaventura felt important to respect longtime Optimus Prime actor Peter Cullen's performance while not bringing him back to ensure the audience felt Prime's youth, leading to Hemsworth's casting, who surprised di Bonaventura with his "very strong sense of story".[35]

Cooley's desire to harken back to the chattier version of Bumblebee seen in other Transformers media influenced Key's casting, who he had worked with before when directing Pixar's Toy Story 4 (2019).[29] Cooley requested that Key stay close to his regular speaking voice for Bumblebee.[36] Johansson was approached to voice Elita by Hemsworth, who texted her upon joining the project himself. The two had previously worked together in several Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) films.[37]

The budget was reportedly $75 million,[2][3] although one source put the cost of production as high as $147 million.[4]

Animation and design

[edit]

Industrial Light & Magic (ILM), who had provided the visual effects for the first six live-action Transformers installments, returned to provide the animation for the film.[38] Rob Coleman served as animation supervisor, and Frazier Churchill served as VFX supervisor.[25][39] Cooley directed the studio to create a visual style for the film that was realistic enough to be believable while still looking like it was crafted by human hands.[27]

The designs of the Transformers were heavily influenced by those of the original 1980s animated television series. Cooley said, "They’re really clear and have these great silhouettes. It was important to hit that."[27] In order to make the Transformers feel more human and for the audiences to better connect, the team at ILM was instructed to make them more emotive with their faces and character animation.[40] Measures applied to ensure this included making sure their faces were not covered all of the time and making their eyes more expressive.[29] Cooley felt a grand sense of scale was essential to the Transformers brand. As there are no humans in the film to use as a scale reference, the team looked to the planet of Cybertron instead and aimed to make it feel larger than life.[41]

Music

[edit]
Main article: Transformers One (soundtrack)

In May 2024, it was announced that Brian Tyler, who had previously provided the score for the animated television series Transformers: Prime (2010–2013), would compose the score for Transformers One.[42] The soundtrack album features the score and was released by Sony Classical Records and Milan Records on September 20, 2024.[43] An original song for the film, "If I Fall", written by Tyler and performed by Quavo and Ty Dolla Sign, was released as a single on September 6, 2024.[44] A second original song, "Together As One", by DJ and producer Excision, was released on September 12, 2024.[45]

Release

[edit]

Transformers One screened as a work-in-progress at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival on June 10, 2024; audience and social media reactions were reportedly positive.[46][47] The film premiered in Sydney, Australia on September 11, 2024, and was theatrically released in the United States on September 20, 2024.[48][49] It will be screened in various formats, including RealD 3D, IMAX, Dolby Cinema, and 4DX.[50][51] It was originally scheduled to be released on July 19, 2024,[52] but was initially delayed to September 13,[24] before shifting a week later to avoid competition with Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.[49][53]

Marketing

[edit]

The first trailer for Transformers One was released online on April 18, 2024 to positive response.[54] It featured a custom introduction from Hemsworth and Henry, and incorporated the song "Start Me Up" by the Rolling Stones.[54][55] It made its debut via a spacecraft that was launched 125,000 feet above the Earth.[54] Brian Welk of IndieWire felt that the film looked to have appeal for both younger audiences and longtime Transformers fans.[56] Alex Billington of FirstShowing.net found the trailer amusing and felt that the film had promise, though he opined that it seemed to be more geared towards younger audiences than compared to previous Transformers films.[57] Eric Diaz of Nerdist commented that the incorporation of "Start Me Up" gave the film "a very 2000s DreamWorks Animation vibe."[55] A second trailer debuted at San Diego Comic-Con on July 25, 2024.[41] Nick Bythrow of Screen Rant noted that the trailer gave a taste of the tragic aspect of the film's story, as well as a closer look at the character Starscream.[58] Michael McWhertor of Polygon highlighted the comedy, performances, and chemistry of the voice cast as standout aspects of the trailer.[59]

Reception

[edit]

Box office

[edit]

In the United States and Canada, Transformers One was released alongside The Substance and Never Let Go, and is projected to gross $30–40 million from 3,978 theaters in its opening weekend.[2][3] The film made $3.36 million from Wednesday and Thursday night previews.[60]

Critical response

[edit]

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 88% of 106 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 7.3/10. The website's consensus reads: "Dramatically satisfying with a dash of good humor, Transformers One suggests that animation might be the optimal medium for this oft-adapted franchise."[61] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 62 out of 100, based on 25 critics, indicating "generally favorable" reviews.[62]

Todd Gilchrist of Variety praised the film's direction, animation, and screenplay. He felt the film boasted a level of complexity and described the it as "the most sophisticated onscreen portrait" of the Transformers to date.[63] G. Allen Johnson of the San Francisco Chronicle compared the film favorably to the live-action installments, applauding its screenplay, visuals, and resonant themes, and describing it as unapologetically made for "the inner child."[64] Tom Jorgensen of IGN rated the film 5 out of 10, praising the voice cast and Brian Tyree Henry's performance, as well as the story of Orion Pax and D-16. Overall he felt the film was underwhelming and was critical of it for being surface-level and featuring illegible action scenes.[65]

Future

[edit]

In April 2023, Lorenzo di Bonaventura stated that there is discussion for Transformers One to become a trilogy of films.[23] By June, he confirmed that the story is mapped out to progress over three movies, detailing the progression of the characters into their depiction in the live-action film series. The producer explained that Chris Hemsworth's depiction of Optimus Prime will grow into the leader depicted in the previous installments, stating that the transition from Hemsworth's voice to Peter Cullen's will make sense within the story.[66] In September 2024, di Bonaventura confirmed that they will make a Transformers One sequel if the film turns out a success, with the filmmakers already devising ideas for a character-driven sequel like its predecessor.[67]
