Transformers One stands apart from the live-action movies in many ways, and one mistake that started with Michael Bay won’t be repeated as the franchise continues. The 2024 animated Transformers movie is a break away from Paramount’s live-action series that started with Bay’s first movie in 2007. While Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, and Megatron were still central focuses in that film, Transformers One puts them – specifically Orion Pax and D-16’s friendship falling apart as they become Optimus Prime and Megatron – in the spotlight. That’s all thanks to the franchise eliminating humans from the story.
