Director Josh Cooley's (Toy Story 4, Inside Out) Transformers One weaves the vast (and varied) backstorys and lore into a top-tier re-introduction that sweeps away all previous attempts to repackage this longstanding property. And the best part? This orign story blends unique characters and set peices into a engrossing friends-to-enemies journey into exciting, yet familiar, galaxy-spanning territory. Live-action could never. Seriously, Transformers One follows best friends, a low-ranking minors, Orion Pax (Chris Hemsworth) and D-16 (Bryain Tyree Henry) as they uncover their society's hidden history and the real reasons for its class divisons. Each revelation sets the duo on collision course with their enemies, and each other. 
Whether you're steeped in the lore, a fan of the live-action franchise, or a coming in with zero knowledge, Transformers One is a vivid adventure certain to capture - and keep - your attention until the credits roll.
Listen and Ro and DPalm discuss how Cooley - and this suprisinging fitting A-list voice cast - perfectly threads the action-comedy needle turning an epic bromance gone wrong into an incredibly immersive parable about liberation, friendship, and the cost of losing faith. 
Transformers One released in theaters September 20, 2024 and arrives on VOD and digital Tuesday, October 22, 2024.
