Set on the high-tech alien world of Cybertron, the film tells the origin story of Orion Pax and D-16 - the young beings Cybertronians who would become the strong yet gentle Optimus Prime and the tyrannical Megatron - as they set out on an adventure with their allies to the planet's surface and discover the incredible ability to transform. The film will be released on September 20, 2024.



* ForegoneConclusion: It's pretty much obvious that Orion and D-16 will end up bitter rivals on either side of a galaxy-spanning war, with Elita as Orion's spark mate and B-127 as one of his closest allies.

** Bumblebee has his [[Film/{{Bumblebee}} Knightverse]] designation of B-127 and his battle mask, his G-1 cartoon's proportions mixed with the stockier muscle car design of [[Film/TransformersFilmSeries the Bayverse version]], and the trailer presents him with the quippier attitude of the version seen in ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'', plus arm blades that resemble that incarnation's "stinger" blasters.

Added DiffLines:

* IconicAttributeAdoptionMoment: In the first trailer, the four Transformers that are the focus of the film initially don't bear that strong a resemblance to their typical designs. When Alpha Trion grants them their transformation cogs, their appearances change to more closely match, such as Orion Pax gaining Optimus' antennae on his head and a more prominent shield emblem, exhaust pipes on his shoulders, and a new chestplate that evokes the imagery of his truck cab windows.
