Paramount had their panel at Cinemacon today and it looks included 2 Transformers projects. It was said, as confirmed on Cinemacon’s Twitter, that the Transformers GI Joe movie is in development. The only other detail we have is that Steven Spielberg is an executive producer, which has been the case for the previous Bay directed films.
Paramount also showed the trailer for Transformers One, which is confirmed to come out in September 13. Below are descriptions of what was shown from Discussingfilm.net. This trailer should be available to the public the 18th, as the rumour goes.
Exclusive Footage Description from CinemaCon 2024:
CinemaCon 2024 got to see the very first trailer from the new animated movie Transformers One. The story follows a young Optimus Prime, still known as Orion Pax (Chris Hemsworth), and his brother-like relationship with a young Megatron, known as D-16 (Brian Tyree Henry). The two robots do handy work together in the underground world of Cybertron, but their friendship grows shaky when Megatron wants to rebel and find out why no robots are allowed on the surface of Cybertron. Optimus reluctantly decides to help him figure out the truth behind this mystery because he can’t help but support his best friend, even if it may not be the best idea. The two decide to embark on a journey together to unravel the secrets of Cybertron, a journey that will eventually make them rivals.
The entire scene shown at CinemaCon 2024 focused on Orion Pax and D-16 breaking into a train facility with the help of the not-so-helpful B-127 (Keegan-Michael Key), soon to be known as Bumblebee. They are eventually caught by one of their Autobot friends on patrol, Elita-1 (Scarlett Johansson). Elita-1 tries to report them to the authorities for breaking in, which leads to a colorful chase as the train the group was looking for actually takes off and sends them all on a scenic trip across Cybertron. Orion and D-16 catch up to Elita-1 as it surprisingly reaches the surface of Cybertron, which leaves them all stunned in amazement. The surface of Cybertron looks beautiful with its galactic views and electronic landscapes, which leaves perplexed and asking questions as to why none of them are allowed to be up here.
Suddenly, a large cybernetic force appears in the distance, almost as if the surface of the planet itself is morphing into a monster with tentacles that doesn’t want anyone to see what the outside world has to offer. Orion reveals to Elita-1 that they have found the “Matrix of Leadership,” which is the reason why they want to uncover more of what the leaders of Cybertron are hiding. The footage then ends when we see the group try to escape from the monstrous force on the planet’s surface. There were also other significant bits of footage shown, like D-16 molding the first-ever Decepticon emblem from lava. The 3D animation is incredibly vibrant and sleek, with loads of color and fantastical designs on full display. Cybertron is full of other kinds of cybernetic creatures and landscapes, which all look gorgeous in this film’s animation style.
Transformers One looks like no other film from the series, even the iconic animated from the ’80s. Fans will be happy to know that Chris Hemsworth is almost unrecognizable as Orion, aka Optimus. It’s hard to tell that he’s voicing the role. Meanwhile, Keegan-Michael Key brings his comedic charm to B-127 and Scarlett Johansson brings strong resilience to Elita-1’s voice. Brian Tyree Henry, however, sounds the most exciting as the soon-to-be Megatron as he goes from sounding like a loveable brother to Optimus to a suspicious adversary on a dime. Their robot designs, which borrow various elements from the classic ’80s cartoon, the Transformers: Animated series from the late 2010s, and the fan-favorite War for Cybertron video games, all match perfectly with the respective voice actors.
Below is a press release from Hasbro regarding all activities and products that tie into the 40th Anniversary of the Transformers brand. There is another confirmation that the Transformers 1 movie comes out September 13 and it is revealed that there will be a Transformers themed episode of the Masked Singer. In terms of collectibles, they confirm that we are getting more Transformers Funko Pops and they reveal a non transforming Optimus Prime in Ecto 1 colours from Jada.
HASBRO CELEBRATES TRANSFORMERS 40th ANNIVERSARY WITH MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE PRODUCTS, ENTERTAINMENT AND MORE
For 40 years, the TRANSFORMERS franchise has continuously adapted and redefined itself, culminating in one legacy across generations through innovative products, captivating entertainment, inspiring licensed partnerships, and engaging publishing projects
PAWTUCKET, R.I. – FEB. 6, 2024 – Hasbro, a leading toy and game company, today announced its plans to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the beloved TRANSFORMERS franchise.
TRANSFORMERS made its worldwide debut in 1984 with its revolutionary robot-to-vehicle action figures, bolstered by a comic book series and an action-packed animated series, The Transformers. The launch was a massive hit, and it introduced characters like Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Megatron, Starscream, and others who became fan favorites and the ultimate heroes and villains of Cybertron. Today, hundreds of robots continue to join the franchise and illustrate the brand’s core ability to change and adapt to new environments while offering a variety of ways to play for a new generation of fans.
“Beloved since its inception in 1984, TRANSFORMERS has evolved from an innovative toy line into a powerhouse franchise embraced by millions of fans around the world,” said Alyse D’Antuono, Vice President, Global Franchise Strategy & Management, Action Brands, Hasbro. “The past four decades continuously delivered a … More Than Meets The Eye experience for fans by introducing new toys and games, as well as thrilling storytelling in animated shows, comics, blockbuster films and much more. As we build the next chapter in the TRANSFORMERS universe, we look forward to celebrating one legacy for another 40 years.”
“When you have a franchise that goes 40 years in this business, it’s pretty remarkable,” said TRANSFORMERS voice-over talent and original voice of Megatron, Frank Welker, “to watch the franchise just build and build and build it is amazing to watch.” Added fellow voice cast member and original voice of Optimus Prime, Peter Cullen, “I’ve always had the feeling this was going to go a long time.”
Drawing inspiration from the brand’s origins in 1984, Hasbro will launch an exciting array of products, promotions, experiences and action-packed content throughout 2024, allowing new generations to discover where it all began.

When a YouTuber also gets to help set up the displays at a toy show it also comes with the perks of being able to handle figures early. That's what happened with Ben Custom Toys was able to work the Hasbro booth at Cybertron Con 2023 in Singapore this weekend giving us early access and our first look at the newly revealed Transformers Legacy United Origin Wheeljack. Surpassing expectations, Voyager Wheeljack does not appear to share any parts with the previous Deluxe Origin Jazz and for the most part seems to be on par with the previous Origins releases. As with the previous releases he's expected to be a Target exclusive, but an image of the box shared on Baidu appears to be a normal United box rather than Buzzworthy Bumblebee. The package also shows that much of the alt mode shell can be removed and probably isn't required to be hung off his back.
Also handled in the video are Studio Series Bumblebee Movie Megatron and Rumble, United Tiger Hawk, Thundertron, Animated Optimus Prime, Animated Bumblebee, Cyberverse Windblade, Rescue Bots Chase, Gamer Edition Starscream, 86 Scrapheap, Reactivate Soundwave, Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and Starscream, and closeups of others.
Ok, lots to get through. Hasbro gave Londoners a huge treat by giving them a first look at the first wave of 2024 Studio Series toys and Legacy Commander Magmatron. We have compiled all the latest images of these toys, which includes the reveals, Legacy United toys on display, StudionSeries tous on display, along with more photos of WFC Starscream. A list of what you'll see is below and a list of links to the sources is at the end of the article.
List of toys pictured:
Core Bumblebee Movie Concept Rumble
Core TLK Mohawk
Deluxe ROTB Wheeljack
Deluxe ROTB Scorponok
Voyager 86 Scrapheap
Voyager Gamerverse WFC Starscream
Leader Bumblebee Movie Concept Megatron
United Voyager Thundertron
United Voyager Optimus
United Deluxe Bumblebee
United Deluxe Windblade
United Leader Tigerhawk
United Commander Magmatron
Hasbro has just revealed a large portion of the first wave of 2024's Studio Series figures at the current London show. These include:
Core Rumble from the opening of the Bumblebee movie, even though he was never seen.
Core Mohawk from The Last Knight
Deluxe Wheeljack from Rise of the Beasts
Voyager SS86 Scrapheap
Voyager Gamerverse Starscream from War for Cybertron
Leader Megatron from the opening of the Bumblebee movie, even though he was never seen. He is a triple changer, as was rumoured, with both a ground and air mode.
Yup, you read that right, the Toddfather got the Transformers license from Hasbro. That's a pretty big deal given that they are the license holders for DC which was once held by Hasbro's biggest industry rival, Mattel. And now after all these years, toys from both Hasbro and DC will be in the very same toyline called Page Punchers.
Ok, so to rewind it back and give you all the info, the McFarlane toy company has been more mainstream than ever before, with them releasing a few lines found on toy aisles at the largest retailers in America. With the DC license, Mcfarlane has a subline called the Page Punchers line where a figure is releases with a comic. The figures are in both the 3 inch and 7 inch scale. And at the New York Toy Fair, it was revealed that the Page Punchers line in the 3 inch scale would now also have Transformers and GI Joe figures.
The ones showed at the fair (where no pictures were allowed) were Duke, Snake Eyes, Cobra Commander and Crimson Guard for GI Joe and Optimus Prime, Wheeljack, Megatron and Bumblebee for Transformers. These where also packed with IDW comics but it is unknown if that is just a placeholder comic as what was shown was not final.
