The 1980s had their fair share of rivalries and heroes vs. villains battles. Rocky Balboa vs. Ivan Drago. Lion-O and the Thundercats vs. Mumm-Ra and his Mutants. GI Joe vs. Cobra. Daniel LaRusso vs. Johnny Lawrence. But arguably one of the most famous and bitter rivalries from that decade was Optimus Prime and the Autobots vs. Megatron and the Decepticons.
Over the last 40 years, Prime and Megs have battled it out over various incarnations and continuities. Their fight has also spanned various media. Comic books, cartoons, even live-action feature films. But every rivalry has a beginning. And this upcoming film: Transformers One, intends to show how two robotic workers: Orion Pax and D-12, eventually went from friends to bitter enemies: Pax to the noble Optimus Prime, and D-12 to the power-hungry villainous Megatron.
Directed by Josh Cooley and written by Andrew Barrer and Gabriel Ferrari, it stars the voice talents of Chris Hemsworth as Orion Pax and Brian Tyree Henry as D-12. The film also features the vocal talents of Scarlett Johansson, Steve Buscema, Lawrence Fishburne, Jon Hamm, and Keegan Michael-Key. Let's look at the trailer!
"Ahhhh, that shoulder joint can never be loose or tight enough."
You know, you guys really shouldn't have gotten cyber-drunk at that bar in Polyhex.
He does have a point, Megatron. You can't just yell at him after saying you're not talking to him. Be consistent!
I like Badassitron. I hope we see more of him.
...Oh wait, that's just Bumblebee. Never mind. Kind of interesting that he's portrayed as a contemporary of the future Prime and Megatron instead of the "little brother" of the Autobots.
Can't fly without jetpacks, man! Duh!
Ah, so that's how that started.
Hey, Elita-One! And the Rolling Stones!
Is that Alpha Trion?
Oh, now he gets wheels! 😒
I think those are Quintessons. They created the Transformers...depending on the continuity. Yeah, the Transformers continuity is more confusing than DC Comics.
Well, this looks like a fun little film. I'll give it a watch in September! Thanks for reading this blog entry! See you next time!
