"Transformers One" released Sept. 20, and is the first installment of Josh Cooley's take on the Hasbro toys line.

‘Transformers One’ puts story and character growth in the driver’s seat

By Will Caron, Contributing Writer September 30, 2024
“Transformers One” was released by Paramount Pictures on Sept. 20. The plot follows Optimus Prime, previously Orion Pax, and Megatron, previously D-16, as they attempt to make a name for themselves and escape their boring life as simple energon miners. The film had a disappointing $24.6 million opening weekend as compared to the previously predicted $30–35 million. This is unfortunate, considering the film boasts a talented cast, amazing dynamic between its two leads and great character moments sandwiched between an action-packed plot that stuck the landing.
