The highly anticipated CG-animated prequel directed by Josh Cooley (“Toy Story 4”), takes fans on an immersive journey back to Cybertron, where the seeds of the legendary conflict between the Autobots and Decepticons were first sown.
The film explores how close allies Orion Pax and D-16, voiced by Chris Hemsworth and Brian Tyree Henry, evolve into the opposing leaders we know as Optimus Prime and Megatron.
