‘Transformers One’ Toys Will Roll Out This Summer

Transformers One released its first trailer this week (in space!), and like everyone else transformers movies, this one will be accompanied by an army of plastic robots invading a toy store near you. Now let's take a first look at Hasbro Transformers One toyline, including the Studio Series line aimed at collectors; their first offering is a figure of Orion Pax (the pre-Optimus Prime, voiced by Chris Hemsworth), in his movie-accurate robot mode and Cybertronian truck mode.

There's also an Orion Pax figure that transforms from figure to wearable mask; will retail for $34.99 USD. Similar figures of Bumblebee and Maximal leader Optimus Primal were produced last year Transformers: Rise of the Beasts; the Bumblebee figure from this line will also be reissued for Transformers One. They also sport an oversized Mega Changers figure, simplified figures that transform into vehicles; will retail for $14.99 and include all-new figures of Optimus Prime and Bumblebee, plus reissues of Megatron and Starscream from previous lines. They also show the more complicated and articulated Prime Changers ($19.99); this assortment will include Optimus Prime and the wisecracking Autobot Alpha Trion, seen briefly in the trailer, with voice Lawrence Fishburne.

What is 'Transformers One' about?

The first Transformers theatrical animated film since 1986 Transformers: The Movie, Transformers One details the origins of some of the most prominent Transformers from their home planet, Cybertron. Four Misfits: Orion Pax, D-16 (who is destined to become the fearsome Megatron, and is voiced by Brian Tyree Henry), B-127 (the pre-Burinot, with the voice of Keegan-Michael Key), and Elita-One (Scarlett Johansson) – journey to the most dangerous and forbidden part of Cybertron, where they discover the ancient origins of their race and unlock a new power. The trailer also offers glimpses of some famous Decepticons (including Soundwave and Shockwave), Autobot leader Sentinel Prime (Jon Hamm), and some tentacled aliens who may be longtime enemies of Transformers in the Quintessons. The film is directed by Josh Cooleywho made his directorial debut in 2019 Toy Story 4and is animated by Industrial Light and Magic.

So far, Starscream, who will have at least one figure in the line, hasn't appeared in any of the official announcements or marketing materials, but now we know. Steve Buscemi (who had a small voice role in Transformers: The Last Knight) will play a mysterious character in the film. Buscemi's on-screen demeanor may be a match for the traitorous Decepticon.

Transformers One will hit theaters on September 20, 2024; expect the toys to do it hits stores this summer. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates and check out the new one Transformers One trailer below.
