Movie 8 is Transformers One, the prequel animated movie. There's been talks of a prequel since 2015, but the movie was first confirmed back in 2021.

Oh yeah, that makes sense. I was thinking that Transformers 8 meant the next movie in the live action series, but Transformers: One makes a lot more sense.

For a september release date this movie is very under the radar. No art, no teaser, no trailer.
Are they affraid it's going to be ass or extremely mid?
Rise of the Beasts was very average on all fronts and underperformed like a mofo, worst TF movie of the live actions I think. Personally it was a dissapointment, had some good things but overall a horribly average forgettable movie with just bad cg. Too much stuff and every idea stretched so thin it's only a 3 second mention and therefor one dimensional. Hopefully TF One will have a strong story, strong characters and great character design and animation. They have a chance with no humans, but please no stretched faces stuff, not again.

At this point, this isn't really all that surprising. The movie is still nine months away. Looking at some of the highest-grossing movies of this last year, initial teasers usually drop about 5-7 months before a movie's release.

For example:
-Barbie's first teaser came out in December 2022, seven months before the movie's release
-The Super Mario Bros. Movie had its first trailer in October 2022, six months before being released
- Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 had its first trailer in December 2022, five months before being released

Some can drop earlier, but its not uncommon to not have seen anything from the movie yet.

Ah good point.
I was expecting stuff 12 months before from a TF movie, especially with toy leaks and sometimes even having the toys already out.
Can't wait for the first trailer, I really want to know if it's going to be a good movie.

My problem with ROTB is very well worded in Filmento's youtube review, check it out to know why you have such an empty feeling after watching the movie.

Until we hear otherwise, TF: One is considered to be a prequel to the live-action films.

Interesting, I actually hadn't even considered that possibility. I had just assumed that it would be its own continuity, but a prequel to the live action series might make more sense. I'm interested to see what the character designs end up looking like for this.

'Twould be kinda hard to make a movie set entirely on Cybertron with no human actors in live action.

One thing that I can guess is that this first toy may be a Generations style deluxe.
36$can is the price they selling their deluxes.

That might just be a coincidence, modern main line Deluxe class figures don't typically have subtitles like that. It's been a long time since the days of Mech Tech.

Well, the Super Bowl is in the middle of February, as is the Daytona 500, which is 7 months ahead of the release date, so I guess we'll get a TV spot teaser at least by then.

Ever since the Bumblebee movie, Hasbro decided to have the main movie toylines target children with more gimmick driven toys, which remains their primary audience in general for the Transformers brand. It did mean that the toyline was gimmick heavy. That theme transferred over to the two animated toylines since and the Rise of the Beasts toyline (though there were deluxes and voyagers scattered there at times). With Transformers One being an animated film for kids, it should come as no surprise that Hasbro is continuing this 5 year trend. We now know some of the toy classes coming out for the Transformers One toyline.
Those include:

Prime Changers, Mega Changers, 2 in 1 Masks (making a return from ROTB), Cybertron Launchers, Power Flip, Race Changers, Race and Blast, Racing Bot Shots (intriguing), COG 1 Step, Battling Figures, Power Glow, Energon Reveal and others.

The full list of listings we have at the moment can be found below and all are coded. Also please note: in movie toylines, the codes are not hints, they mean nothing. They are deliberately random to keep discretion within the movie project. The listings came from JTPRime17.

Ordered this and it shows an image of the Walmart Exclusive Blaster. Huh?

Amazon has a pretty bad habit of using the wrong images sometimes and taking an excessively long time to correct them. All of the information matches a new figure and not Blaster so it should be fine.

Some gimmicky toys can be very, very good.
I'm looking forward to what this line will offer.

Thanks for confirming!

OMG 'Race changers' has a terrible double meaning! No one mention 'blacking up'!

Hasbro and Paramount have been pretty good at keeping the bot designs for the upcoming Transformers One film a secret, revealing them to the world tomorrow. But we got at least this ONE leak before tomorrow’s trailer. It is a toy of Optimus Prime. We do know with certainty the line or size class but it dies give us our first good look at the design the film is going for.

Also, note that this is indeed Optimus Prime, Orion’s evolved look, which wont be how Orion looks like for most of the film.

Ah, the ol' guns-destined-to-be-stovepipes-on-Earth trick. Shades of The War Within design logic, well done.

So this wone will be a "warrior" class for sure.
Nice in both modes, but not alien enough.

I can see the WoF Optimus in the robot mode, and the vehicle mode is like a wall with lasers, I love it.

-Kanrabat- wrote:So this wone will be a "warrior" class for sure.

Nah, Deluxe at least. It's much too complex for Warrior, even just accounting for wrist articulation and ankle tilts. I can't quite work out how the arms end up at the bottom of the truck, either they drop down or the torso rotates over them. The inner lower legs flip around the back to end up on the outside in trick mode. With so much going on it makes the visible hands on the side of the truck unforgivable.

A SS deluxe with visible fists in truck mode.

Eh...

Looks decent, I like the aesthetic they are going for, even if I wish it was a little more alien in bot mode.

visible fists are becoming annoying though.

We got our first look at the upcoming Optimus Prime toy from Transformers One yesterday. While many fans liked the design, the toy’s hollow limbs, lack of paint, browning plastic, and simplicity (especially with those exposed arms in vehicle mode) made fans assume that this was not meant for the Studio Series line. Well turns out it is. This will be this year’s release of Transformers One Optimus Prime in a non gimmick line while all other Prime/Pax toys will be released in the Transformers One mainline, just targeting kids.

His studio series number is 112 and he is a deluxe. The box image also shows a great render.

First glance....wow. Great bot mode, nice alt mode.

My only bizarre beef is why he would have a cockpit. There is no need for one when you are driving yourself and can simply alter your body to create space somewhere for a passenger. My personal thought would be that the alt mode would not even really have a "front" as you could literally alter the mode to change direction on a whim by moving your wheels.

Man for SS this looks kinda bad and cheap looking quality.

Hypothetically we have a terrestrial bias to see a cockpit. All we actually see is a clear section across his chest that faces forward in vehicle mode. We don't know it's function - it could be a scanner or it could even just be aesthetic. Perhaps it is as meaningful as a man's nipples.

Agreed that the fists really shouldn't be visible on something like this, but lets be honest, aside from dropping the length of his torso and rotating 90°, what the hell do the arms even do for transformation?

Hiding the hands would have been easy if there was simply a cover built into his leg.

Judging by the art on the box it's a display case for the Matrix.

It looks interesting. Not completely different, but at least somewhat more alien.

He reminds me of War Within's robot mode for some reason.

The Truck mode is definitely beefy and armed up. In a better paint scheme it may looks really nice, but that off white yellowed bone gray is just award.

Interesting that he does not appear to have a gun. Just a blue axe, that for some reason reminds me of the one from Animated Cybertronian Optimus Prime.

Honestly, after seeing the trailer, I get why it looks like this and I'm cool with that.

My only complaint is that he doesn't have his ion blaster. I miss that.

Lots of Cybertronian altmodes have cockpits. This has been a thing since G1.

But, if you really, want an in-universe explanation for them, the Aligned backstory first given in the Exodus novel stated that the cockpits were a holdover from an earlier time back when the Quintessons had invaded and conquered Cybertron, during which time the cockpits were used by the Quints as part of their various methods to control and enslave the Cybertronians.

We've heard that the Quints may be the main villains of this movie, so it could be going with that for why their altmodes have cockpits.

This looks to be blunt, awful.

TFs have been so good in so many ways for a number of years. When stuff like this is shown and looks like an obvious backslide, I always wonder how long it will be before mainlines get crapped up permanently.

The backslide makes sense here though as a prequel.

Mainline toys look bad.

Alpha Trion is a Unicorn wolf thing, and his head has definite Death's head vibes for some reason.

The Bumblebee mask is, I'm pretty sure, just the previous movie mask.

The Mega Changers for Megatron and Starscream are also reused Titan Changer toys from the Authentics line.

Sabrblade wrote:The Mega Changers for Megatron and Starscream are also reused Titan Changer toys from the Authentics line.

Yup.

One guess as to what Megatron turns into in this movie.

I love when Alpha Trion is a beast, and his toy there actually looks good.

I am also oddly engrossed by the Prime mask

Not bad. But the CG version rules.

Not judging alien robot's personal amusement choices here.

While I said I liked Prime and ordered it I can't help but feel something seems off. The hollow forearms just look cheap. This reminds me of the Rise of Cobra toy line that felt like a step back from the 25th era of GI Joe due to the lack of holsters. Also, I think there's some way to use the lasers from vehicle mode in robot mode.

Overcracker wrote:Alpha Trion is a Unicorn wolf thing, and his head has definite Death's head vibes for some reason.

It's the same unicron lion alt mode he had in Titans Return.

The Bumblebee mask is, I'm pretty sure, just the previous movie mask.

That Prime mask is definitely an unused one from ROTB, the face plate design is the same as from the movie.
