‘Transformers One’ Launched a New Trailer at SDCC 2024!
Paramount Pictures defied gravity with the launch of the first trailer for Transformers One. The animated origin story’s trailer debuted from SPACE via a tablet strapped to a drone, and now they’re back with another one at San Diego Comic-Con 2024.
For the first trailer, the drone eventually reached its peak height at 125,000 feet in the air, setting the record for the first film trailer premiering in space (or low orbit?). Congrats Transformers One, you’re the Blue Origin of movie trailers!

What is Transformers One about?
According to the film’s description, 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 trailer shows Orion Pax and D-16 meeting as lowly waste management bots working under the surface of Cybertron. Once the Autobots journey to the surface, they prove themselves worthy of earning their T-Cogs (transformation cogs) the crucial piece of tech to unlock their transforming capabilities. But while these young bots are getting the hang of their newfound skills, they must face off against a deadly new alien enemy.
Josh Cooley (Toy Story 4) directs the film from a script by Andrew Barrer, Gabriel Ferrari, and Bobby Rubio.
