I would love to have a Megatron statue that big, but my wife would object heavily about it.

Okay then.

The second trailer was even better than the first. Something tells me the last few minutes of this movie are going to be a real heartbreaker.

Yeah by the looks of it they're rushing the story a bit. I was hoping they wouldn't cram everything into one movie and save Megatron's full turn until the sequel. But I guess they thought a Prime vs. Megs fight was obligatory.

I'm also kinda hoping they throw a little extra in there and have them fight over Elita as much as leadership.

They want the clicks!

The pre-war story on Cybertron could fit in multiple movies, but I understand why they made the decision to make it like this.
While the Transformers franchise is overall doing well, making movies and counting on sequels before the current one is released and gauging the reaction to it, has hurted The Last Knight and to a certain extent, Rise of The Beasts.

Transformers One had a pretty big panel at SDCC 2024. Brian Tyree Henry, Keegan-Michael Key, Josh Cooley and Chris Hemsworth were there getting interviewed by pretty much everyone. We have a slew of videos for you below so you can get all that content in one spot, including their big panel. There's even a fun video of them doing their version of the Transformation Sound Effect. Enjoy!

Yeah, I saw that, too. I don't know why Hemsworth recently uploaded the same trailer from three weeks ago.

While it made sense for Peter Cullen not to voice Orion Pax in the upcoming Transformers One movie, as he didn't voice Orion Pax in G1 either, it would have been fun to at least have him voice a different character. That's the route the Japanese dub of the movie has gone with making Tesshō Genda, the original voice of Convoy and Orion Pax (in Japan), be Alpha Trion. We also have Ryohei Kimura in the cast as B-127, who has been playing Bumblebee in all of the recent cartoons in Japan, as well as Yuichi Nakamura and Subaru Kimura from Jujutsu Kaisen. Those two will be playing Optimus and Megatron respectively.

You can check the full voice cast below, which was revealed on the official Japanese movie site.

Elita-1: Riho Yoshioka
Sentinel Prime: Junichi Suwabe
Airachnid: Ryoka Yuzuki
Darkwing: Toru Inada
Starscream: Setsuji Sato
Soundwave: Masataka Yamamoto
Shockwave: Takanori Hoshino
Jazz: Tomokazu Sugita
Yuichi Nakamura: Optimus Prime/Orion Pax
Subaru Kimura: D-16/Megatron
Ryohei Kimura: B-127/Bumblebee
Tesshō Genda: Alpha Trion

And Speaking of voice actors, Paramount released a featurette with the English voice actors, which you can see below. Enjoy!

That first season of JJK was so fun, movie was too. I dropped season two after ~3 episodes. It was like being dropped into the middle of another series altogether, and not a particularly interesting one.

I am going to watch the Japanese version. I am not a Hemsworth fan at all. I also prefer professional voice actors. My biggest reason is Nakamura Yuuichi is voicing Prime, He is my favorite Japanese voice actor.

Brazilian preview clip with more new footage and new reveals for characters named in the movie:

Paramount's international campaign for the Transformers One film is revealing a lot. So, consider anything going forth a possible spoiler.

Paramount has released two clips, one for Brazil and one for Taiwan. The one for Taiwan is a trailer showing lots of new shots of Megatron (in his final form) fighting Optimus. The clip for Brazil is an uninterrupted sequence of the Iacon race. In it we see a lot fo cameos including Brawn, Red Alert, Ratchet, Arcee and Ironhide.

Enjoy!

Ah, nice to see the race position readout take name dropping into high gear.

"Speedstream just ran through a deluge of warm liquid that seems to have changed his coloration somehow...and Override has just hit the nitros and...switched gender?"

With the second trailer, I've seen enough.

I don't want the whole damn movie to be spoiled before I see it.

MY BOI RED ALERT -

Yeah, I think I'm sold on this one.

LOL I don't mind getting a free movie now and then with a bit of a video splicing effort. Shouldn't all Transformers media be free since they exist to sell toys anyway!? Why not release the whole thing on YouTube already! 8-}

You jest, but they released Cyberverse via YouTube and the wider fandom at large still didn't watch it

And they're poorer for it. The show was different, yes, but it's also good if you stick with it.

Going by this YT Playlist (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=P ... puNa1deWjV) quite a few of them got millions of views. But as long as the toy sales are meeting Hasbro's target, it's a success? (I don't know though. Did Hasbro make/lose money on Cyberverse? It got 4 seasons so can't be bad?)

I personally found the series a fun watch - better than RID'15 - I just don't like (not hating though) some of the designs, but it also brought Tarn to the mainstream and one of the best Volcanicus/Dinobots designs so mad credits to the series.

I'm ever an optimist. Even when a movie or series are legit "bad" (and there are many) it still carry the franchise forward. So as long as I see there are new/upcoming TF media to keep the franchise alive & relevant and the figures keep on coming, I'm happy even if some of them are not for me (I'm still on my 3rd attempt to read through IDW, but urgh it's tough for me).

Shame too, best TF show since Prime and Animated, and I would contest it can stand with both of them, especially seasons 3 and 4. That was some good TV.

And plus I feel it also works as the G1 reboot so many had asked for.

Unless, of course, what those "so many" were asking for was just the Autobot/Decepticon war on Earth animated in the hand-drawn "Captain Planet" art style again. >:oP
