Paramount Pictures held a panel for Transformers One at the San Diego Comic-Con earlier today and we can now share the epic new trailer and poster for the movie. 

Perhaps the biggest news to come out of Hall H is the fact Steve Buscemi will voice Starscream. Jon Hamm, meanwhile, is Sentinel Prime and Laurence Fishburne will play Alpha Trion. 

The crowd also cheered when it was confirmed that Transformers One will feature no human characters. Finally!

"If we did this as a live-action movie, it would probably cost $500 million," Transformers One producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura told fans. "What has been tricky in live-action is that every time a robot talks, it costs a lot of money. In animation, you can have them build out their character."

The buzz surrounding this prequel is growing increasingly more positive, something that was evident from the recent social media reactions. While there was some backlash to the all-star cast, Chris Hemsworth assured Comic-Con attendees that he considered Peter Cullen's Optimus Prime "iconic" and didn't set out to imitate him in any way.

He added, "The first time I’ve done animation - it’s really exciting to see all the pieces come together - beautiful script, fun relationship to work on."

Check out the new trailer and poster for Transformers One below.

Transformers One is the untold origin story of Optimus Prime and Megatron, better known as sworn enemies, but once were friends bonded like brothers who changed the fate of Cybertron forever.

The first-ever fully CG-animated Transformers movie features a star-studded voice cast, including Chris Hemsworth (Orion Pax), Brian Tyree Henry (D-16), Scarlett Johansson (Elita-1) and Keegan-Michael Key (B-127), Steve Buscemi, with Laurence Fishburne, and Jon Hamm.

Transformers One is directed by Josh Cooley and produced by Lorenzo di Bonaventura, Tom DeSanto & Don Murphy, Michael Bay, Mark Vahradian, Aaron Dem and executive produced by Steven Spielberg, Zev Foreman, Olivier Dumont, Brian Oliver, B.J. Farmer, Matt Quig.

The movie is set to be released in theaters on September 20.

I mean , I am glad that there aren’t any human characters (makes sense if it’s set all on Cybertron) but I can understand why they do that…

For animation , you can focus just on the Transformers while it would just be very expensive in live action to just focus on them.

Anyway , i think the first trailer hit for me more since the humor here was more hit or miss but the movie still looks fun so I’m excited to check it out!!.

Tyree henrys voice does not fit

@WhateverItTakes - He sounded just like megatron at those final scenes to be fair.

Could be a double combo with this and Wild robot.

Also Hemsworth is doing great as a young Optimus or Orion Pax…

He doesn’t entirely sound like Peter Cullen of course (though the “AS ONE” was very close) but he seems to have nailed the cadence & voice hence you could easily see him transition to that as he gets “older”.

This is meant for children. And that’s fine.

@Dotanuki - You realize all of TF is made for children right.
Dotanuki
Dotanuki - 7/25/2024, 5:34 PM
@TheRogue - Of course. Watch the trailer to the OG Transformer’s movie and compare it to this.
TheRogue
TheRogue - 7/25/2024, 6:00 PM
@Dotanuki - I dont think anything can compare to original.

@TheRogue - TF has multiple renditions ranging for kids only to teens and all audiences. This one just seems more for kids.
TheRogue
TheRogue - 7/26/2024, 12:03 PM
@JustAWaffle - Kids and teens are mostly the same. Its primalirly a kids propety and nearly all projects are aimed for kids. Even bay movies for action kid fans.

I get the choice for going the animated route instead of "live-action", but why did they have to pick this specific style? Think a blend of cg cinematic and Clone Wars' style would've been so much cooler
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 7/25/2024, 5:45 PM
@bkmeijer1 - I like the animation but it does have that feeling of Spiderverse for me in that it feels like too much at times.

@bkmeijer1 - there’s art style ? It looks like kinda like mixed with live action and cgi cartoon series

Not sure why Paramount is pushing this one so hard when they have Sonic 3 which is easily going to attract more attention and they are seemingly deciding to barely market at all.
ThorArms
ThorArms - 7/25/2024, 7:10 PM
@Scarilian - This comes out 3 months before Sonic, and I just started seeing ads for this in the past 1.5 months.

@ThorArms -
Transformers: One releases September 20th and had its first trailer on April 18th, about 155 days after the trailer the film releases.

Sonic Movie 3 releases December 20th and we are 146 days from release - with no marketing on the anniversary of the game it's based on - Sonic Adventure 2, nor anything on the anniversary of Sonic The Hedgehog as a whole. Feels like they are missing extremely easy marketing and that makes it a bit concerning. Though admittedly it's possible they plan to drop the first trailer with or around Transformers: One in September.

@Scarilian - sonic isn't really a movie that studios advertise 6+ months before release. It's just unnecessary. Might get a trailer for it at comic con
JustAWaffle
JustAWaffle - 7/26/2024, 2:48 AM
@ThorArms - a solid additional teaser would still whet the appetite for people. It’s a movie that appeals to kids and adults, so it would have been a wiser marketing move to do something early.
Scarilian
Scarilian - 7/26/2024, 9:11 AM
@ThorArms -
I think it needs something just to reassure people it's still going to release this year (or at all) given the state of Paramount. Even a teaser would tide people over until September when they could latch the full trailer onto TF:One.
ThorArms
ThorArms - 7/26/2024, 12:34 PM
@JustAWaffle - maybe. Deadpool and Wolverine teaser didn't even drop until late February. Only 5 months before release

Kids have short attention spans. All they need to see is sonic comes out in 2 weeks and they'll be there
JustAWaffle
JustAWaffle - 7/26/2024, 5:21 PM
@ThorArms - You’re right about those attention spans, but there was always something special back in the day about those bread crumb teasers.

Part of me feels it's a shame this is made for kids the way it is because I feel like the premise otherwise would have a lot of potential as a more dramatic film.
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 7/26/2024, 6:18 AM
@Slotherin - seems more family friendly but I’m sure there’s drama in this aswell as we have seen bits of.

if they really want to replace Peter Cullen as Optimus prime's voice...they should go for Liam Neeson. he's the closest one who can voice older version of Optimus prime

I’m having trouble wrapping my head around them saying it costs more in live action? Aren’t the transformers animated either way?
