Throughout the history of the Transformers franchise, whether it be animation, comics, or even video games, many interpretations of their origin story have been told. With that being said, Transformers One was definitely one of the more enjoyable interpretations I’ve seen. This film had many of the same elements that fans would come to expect from a Transformers origin story, including the creation of the planet Cybertron, the initial friendship between Optimus Prime & Megatron, and the eventual falling out between the two that would lead to the war between the Autobots & the Decepticons. However, thanks to a charismatic and talented voice cast, striking 3D animation, and surprisingly impressive action sequences, this particular interpretation of the Transformers’ origin was not only enjoyable to watch, but also left me hoping that more Transformers films using this style of animation are in the works. Score: 8/10
