Transformers One is set to unveil its first trailer on April 18, 2024, as announced by Optimus Prime voice actor, Chris Hemsworth, on X. In the posted video, Chris sat down with actor Bryan Tyree Henry (voice of Megatron), and hinted that the trailer will be released in "space" and that Transformers is "going out of this world."
The first trailer for Transformers One was recently screened for attendees at CinemaCon during Paramount Pictures' showcase, but the footage wasn't revealed to the public. Descriptions for the trailer mentioned an all-CGI look for the movie and that the story will focus on the origins of Optimus Prime and Megatron.
Transformers One trailer to release on April 18 at 9 am ET
In the video posted by Chris Hemsworth, he mentioned that the first trailer for Transformers One will be revealed on a live stream on the movie's official social media accounts at 9 am ET. Timing for the trailer release may differ based on different time zones.
According to Collider, the first footage from CinemaCon introduces the main characters as Orion Pax and D-16 - the names they had before they turned into Optimus Prime and Megatron respectively.
The footage also shows them living as "lowly bots who can't transform" and that they are eager to reach Cybertron's surface and see the world. They are joined by B-127 and Elita-1 and then, they jump aboard a train to steal some cargo. Soon, they find themselves on the surface of Cybertron.
With them being found worthy, they are given their abilities to transform and explore the diverse surface of Cybertron, which apparently comes alive as shown in the footage.
