"Now is the time for us to stand up, together, as one." Fresh from Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con comes a brand new trailer for this animated movie landing in theaters in a few months. Paramount has debuted the second official trailer for Transformers One, an animation creation by Hasbro & New Republic Pictures. Telling the story of how Optimus and Megatron went from being friends to enemies. Transformers One is based on the Transformers toyline by Hasbro and is the 8th installment in the Transformers movies series. This "prequel" is set on the planet Cybertron and will center on the relationship between the bots Optimus Prime and Megatron, and how they turned against each other. Directed by Josh Cooley (Toy Story 4), the ensemble voice cast includes Chris Hemsworth as Optimus, Brian Tyree Henry as Megatron, Scarlett Johansson as Elita, Keegan-Michael Key as Bumblebee, with Jon Hamm, Laurence Fishburne, and Steve Buscemi. This is a much, much better than the first trailer, which played like a wacky cartoon. This time it looks like a proper full-on, sci-fi epic about the war raging on Cybertron. Now I'm excited! Fire it up.

Here's the second official trailer (+ two posters) for Josh Cooley's Transformers One, from YouTube:

Autobots, assemble: Paramount has released a trailer for “Transformers One,” the animated prequel film led by the voices of Chris Hemsworth, Brian Tyree Henry and Scarlett Johansson.

Hemsworth voices young Optimus Prime, when he was just known as Orion Pax. Henry is D-16, before he became Optimus’ rival Megatron. The trailer shows the two starting out as simple worker bots, unable to transform into anything. But soon they gain the ability to change into vehicles and gain weapons, as a battle against a mysterious, plant-like villain unfolds on the Transformers’ home planet of Cybertron.

Other cast members include Johansson as Elita, Keegan-Michael Key as Bumblebee, Jon Hamm as Sentinel Prime and Laurence Fishburne as Alpha Trion. Hemsworth and Henry introduced a first look at the prequel film April 11 at CinemaCon.
