Critics Hail “Transformers One” as the Best in the Franchise Yet!

“Best Transformers Film to Date” — Critics Praise Story and Direction

“Transformers One” has captivated critics with its rich storytelling and emotional depth. Next Best Picture declares, “Transformers One is by far and away the best Transformers film to date.” The film delves into the origins of iconic characters Optimus Prime and Megatron, revealing their heartbreaking journey from brothers to enemies. Directed by Josh Cooley, this animated feature has impressed reviewers with its flawless direction, expertly balancing humor, action, and heart.

One reviewer noted, “Josh Cooley directed this animated film to perfection, down to the last comedic and action beat, all backed by an epic score and an excellent voice cast.”

Stunning Animation Wows Audiences

According to The Hollywood Reporter, “gorgeous 3D-style computer animation” which they described as “a wonder to behold throughout.” They also described the story as a “thoroughly entertaining origin story that even the uninitiated can enjoy. Besides the raucous, de rigueur action sequences, Transformers One provides numerous witty jokes of both the verbal and visual variety and – surprise, surprise – genuine emotion. Consider this a franchise revitalized.”

Nuanced Characters Add New Depth to the Franchise

Variety lauded the film’s nuanced portrayal of its beloved characters, saying, “while still delivering the fun and excitement expected of Hasbro’s metamorphosizing robots, Transformers One approaches the well-known characters with a degree of nuance and complexity that marks the most sophisticated onscreen portrait of them to date.”

MovieWeb: “Raise Your Expectations!”

MovieWeb was equally impressed, celebrating the film’s thoughtful script and strong themes. Their review highlighted “Transformers One is a mesmerizing CGI adventure chock-full of thrilling action scenes, great humor, and a thoughtful script with powerful themes. Raise your expectations, because Transformers One sets a new high standard for the long-running franchise,” lauded MovieWeb.

With the likes of Chris Hemsworth (Orion Pax/Optimus Prime), Brian Tyree Henry (D-16/Megatron), Scarlett Johansson (Elita-1), Keegan-Michael Key (B-127), and Steve Buscemi (Starscream), this ensemble cast brings a new level of energy and emotion to the film.

Comicbook.com echoed these sentiments, praising the voice cast and calling the story “exceptionally strong story,” voice cast and animation, and the reviewer said that “I would be remiss by not calling this the best Transformers film since the 1980s animated film. If this is the future of the Transformers franchise, then Autobot and Decepticons fans have a bright future to look forward to indeed.”

Fans Are Loving It Too

Early fan reactions have been overwhelmingly positive. The first public screenings in the U.S. left audiences thrilled, with fans praising the movie’s breathtaking animation, compelling storyline, and standout performances.

“Transformers One”: Star-Studded Cast Brings Epic Origin Story to Life, In Cinemas September 18

Transformers fans, get ready! The origin story you’ve been waiting for is finally here – “Transformers One.”

“We’re Transformers! We are Transformers!” an enthusiastic B-127 shouts in Transformers One, the first fully CG-animated Transformers movie. Voiced by comedian Keegan-Michael Key, B-127 (aka Bumblebee) comes alive like never before, and Key is thrilled to be part of the magic.

Giving Bumblebee a Voice

Bumblebee has long been a fan favorite, yet his character had never truly spoken. For Key, this was an incredible opportunity. “I really enjoyed being able to give Bumblebee a voice. Over the last few movies he speaks through the radio inside the Volkswagen, which I thought was so cool,” says Key. “But now we get to imbue him with personality through his voice and I was really honored that I got the opportunity to do that.”

No Humans, Just Transformers

Brian Tyree Henry, who voices D-16/Megatron, brings a fresh take on one of cinema’s most iconic villains. “What I really like about this one is that it is truly the beginning. And we got all the humans out of the way,” he says. “We start on Cybertron, which is where they originate, which is their home. Get the humans out of there, humans complicate stuff. We want to see where they started. We want to see what Cybertron looked like. This is the way to do it.” For Henry, the absence of human characters brings the focus back to what makes the Transformers universe so compelling—the rich, emotional arcs of its robotic heroes and villains.

A Fresh Spin on the Franchise

For Scarlett Johansson, who voices Elita-1, being a part of Transformers One was an absolute joy. “I loved the script. It, like, ignites the kid in me, and so I think parents would appreciate that,” says Johansson. “But it’s also just really fun. A new generation is going to get to experience Transformers in a whole new way. It’s going to be awesome.”

The Epic Origin Story

Transformers One tells the untold origin story of the two characters who would become sworn enemies: Optimus Prime and Megatron. At one time, they were close allies, bonded like brothers, but events would unfold that would forever alter their destinies—and the fate of Cybertron. Voicing the young Optimus Prime, known as Orion Pax, is none other than Chris Hemsworth. The star-studded cast also includes Steve Buscemi as Starscream, Laurence Fishburne as Alpha Trion, and Jon Hamm as Sentinel Prime.

This exciting chapter in the Transformers universe will showcase the deep bond between Optimus Prime and Megatron before their rivalry shattered the future of Cybertron.

In Philippine Cinemas September 18!

Ready to meet the characters? Here’s a quick look at the bots you’ll encounter in Transformers One, coming to Philippine cinemas on September 18.

ORION PAX (Chris Hemsworth)

ORION PAX (Chris Hemsworth)

Before he became the iconic Optimus Prime, he was Orion Pax – a dreamer and a rebel with a heart of gold. Orion is young, curious, and always ready to challenge the status quo on Cybertron. Though he’s charming and sees the best in everyone, his restless spirit often gets him into trouble, especially with his best friend, D-16. But as the battle for Cybertron’s future looms, Orion may be the one to change everything.

D-16 (Brian Tyree Henry)

D-16 (Brian Tyree Henry)

D-16 is the rule-following, loyal friend who will one day transform into the feared Megatron. For now, he’s content with his lot in life as a miner in Iacon, looking up to Sentinel Prime. Although D-16 is principled and believes in justice, his friendship with the unruly Orion Pax often tests his patience. “If we survive this,” D-16 warns Orion, “I’m going to kill you!”

B-127 (Keegan-Michael Key)

B-127 (Keegan-Michael Key)

Loyal and endlessly optimistic, B-127 is the life of the party among the young Transformers. He’s got a penchant for nicknames, and his current favorite is “Badassatron.” B-127 may seem naïve, but his resilience and positivity make him the glue that holds his friends together, even when times get tough.

ELITA-1 (Scarlett Johansson)

ELITA-1 (Scarlett Johansson)

Ambitious and supremely capable, Elita-1 is a force to be reckoned with. As a leader in the Energon mines, she manages the rowdy young bots like Orion Pax and D-16 with a mix of ruthless efficiency and dry humor. But beneath her strict exterior lies a bot with a sharp mind and a desire to prove herself.

SENTINEL PRIME (Jon Hamm)

The hero of Cybertron, Sentinel Prime, is a charismatic and commanding leader. Known for his showmanship and bravery, Sentinel Prime inspires awe with his intelligence and cool demeanor. As the leader of the Transformers, he’s the bot everyone looks up to in times of crisis.

ALPHA TRION (Laurence Fishburne)

As one of the ancient Primes, Alpha Trion is a wise and noble figure in Cybertron’s history. His bravery in defending Cybertron from the Quintessons is legendary, and he remains a revered ancestor among the Transformers.

DARKWING (Isaac C. Singleton Jr.)

Darkwing runs the Energon mining operation with an iron fist, showing little mercy to his workers. But when it comes to the Iacon 5000 race, this aggressive bot will stop at nothing to win, even if it means using dirty tricks to outmaneuver his rivals.

AIRACHNID (Vanessa Liguori)

Airachnid is a terrifying hunter with the ability to transform into a drone. Her razor-sharp arms and inescapable eyes make her a foe to be feared. Airachnid’s sinister laughter and eerie movements add to her chilling presence on the battlefield.

SHOCKWAVE (Jason Konopisos-Alvarez)

Shockwave is a no-nonsense scientist with a passion for experimental weaponry. As a member of The High Guard, he’s a formidable opponent who relishes the chance to test his shock sticks on unsuspecting captives.

SOUNDWAVE (Jon Bailey)

Soundwave, the enforcer of The High Guard, keeps enemies in check with his powerful sound waves. His ability to scan electrical impulses makes him a dangerous adversary, both in the air and on the ground.

JAZZ (Evan Michael Lee)

Before he became one of Optimus Prime’s closest allies, Jazz was a young miner working alongside Orion Pax. Under Elita-1’s strict management, Jazz, Orion, and D-16 navigate the dangerous work of extracting volatile Energon from the mines.

STARSCREAM (Steve Buscemi)

Starscream, the ambitious leader of the High Guard, lives by the mantra, “All that counts is the strength of one bot over another!” His ruthless nature and unmatched aerial combat skills make him a formidable foe, even for the likes of Megatron.
