MUMBAI: Transformers introduced an intriguing and thrilling world of the autobots and this time it's taking the audience back to where it all started! This time, the audience is introduced to Orion Pax and D-16, two hardworking autobots in the Energon mines of Cybertron. Their friendship is strong, built on shared dreams and the daily grind of mining. However, beneath the surface, their contrasting personalities and ambitions are setting the stage for a dramatic transformation. What starts as a close bond quickly turns into a bitter rivalry, mirroring the ancient tale of Cain and Abel.

The film vividly brings to life this classic narrative, showing how a deep friendship can unravel into fierce enmity. As Orion and D-16's once-shared goals clash and their trust erodes, their story becomes a powerful reflection on the fragility of relationships and the destructive potential of ambition. Set against the backdrop of a high-tech world, their journey from allies to adversaries delivers a gripping and timeless tale of betrayal. Unveiling this world Josh Cooley, director opens up about the same.

Josh Cooley, director of Transformers One said, “The film is essentially about their relationship. They will become Optimus Prime and Megatron, the equivalent of the Titans in Greek mythology. Every decision I made, every story point, every design element goes back to that. Orion Pax and D-16 are at the bottom of the pecking order in Iacon City. Together they rise higher than either ever dreamed, but at the cost of their friendship. You will have compassion for both of them and you will also understand what drives them both. You will witness the struggles that make them who they become. The story is as much an emotional journey as it is pure adventure, which I think is unique in Transformers history.”

Unlike the live-action Transformers movies, which depict the robots as battle-ready from birth, Transformers One presents a fresh narrative, revealing the character’s transformative journey. The film delves into the deep bond between Orion Pax and D-16, shedding light on the events that ultimately led to their epic clash. The film boasts an impressive voice cast led by Chris Hemsworth, Brian Tyree Henry, and Scarlett Johansson. The stellar cast also includes Keegan-Michael Key, Steve Buscemi, Laurence Fishburne, and Jon Hamm, promising a thrilling new experience for Transformers fans. The film arrives in theaters on 20th September, 2024 in India, in English & Hindi, in 2D, 3D, 4D and IMAX (3D).
