We're still many months away from the premiere of the 8th modern Transformers movie "One" currently aiming for a September 13 release, and we already have our first actual public online store listing (as opposed to one found by employees in store computers). Thanks Seibertronian -Kanrabat- for bringing to our attention in the Seibertron Energon Pub Forums a mystery pre-order on Amazon Canada for a figure code named "Tra Mv8 Prime Changers - Admiral". That doesn't really offer much of a clue as to what these figures are as we had a few "changers" in the Rise of the Beasts movie toy line. Also keep in mind this price is in Canadian dollars. Pretty good chance "Admiral" is a stand in for Optimus Prime, but there isn't always much logic to these code names. The release date is listed as August 1, 2024, but as with most release dates these days it is also likely a placeholder, but could also be a street date. Hopefully we'll be seeing many more listings soon!

Movie 8 is Transformers One, the prequel animated movie. There's been talks of a prequel since 2015, but the movie was first confirmed back in 2021.

Oh yeah, that makes sense. I was thinking that Transformers 8 meant the next movie in the live action series, but Transformers: One makes a lot more sense.

Are they affraid it's going to be ass or extremely mid?
Rise of the Beasts was very average on all fronts and underperformed like a mofo, worst TF movie of the live actions I think. Personally it was a dissapointment, had some good things but overall a horribly average forgettable movie with just bad cg. Too much stuff and every idea stretched so thin it's only a 3 second mention and therefor one dimensional. Hopefully TF One will have a strong story, strong characters and great character design and animation. They have a chance with no humans, but please no stretched faces stuff, not again.

noctorro wrote:For a september release date this movie is very under the radar. No art, no teaser, no trailer.
At this point, this isn't really all that surprising. The movie is still nine months away. Looking at some of the highest-grossing movies of this last year, initial teasers usually drop about 5-7 months before a movie's release.
For example:
-Barbie's first teaser came out in December 2022, seven months before the movie's release
-The Super Mario Bros. Movie had its first trailer in October 2022, six months before being released
- Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 had its first trailer in December 2022, five months before being released
Some can drop earlier, but its not uncommon to not have seen anything from the movie yet.

I was expecting stuff 12 months before from a TF movie, especially with toy leaks and sometimes even having the toys already out.
Can't wait for the first trailer, I really want to know if it's going to be a good movie.
My problem with ROTB is very well worded in Filmento's youtube review, check it out to know why you have such an empty feeling after watching the movie.

Until we hear otherwise, TF: One is considered to be a prequel to the live-action films.#1 Signal Lancer fan wrote:Emerje wrote:Movie 8 is Transformers One, the prequel animated movie. There's been talks of a prequel since 2015, but the movie was first confirmed back in 2021.

Interesting, I actually hadn't even considered that possibility. I had just assumed that it would be its own continuity, but a prequel to the live action series might make more sense. I'm interested to see what the character designs end up looking like for this.

That might just be a coincidence, modern main line Deluxe class figures don't typically have subtitles like that. It's been a long time since the days of Mech Tech.

Amazon has a pretty bad habit of using the wrong images sometimes and taking an excessively long time to correct them. All of the information matches a new figure and not Blaster so it should be fine.

Nah, Deluxe at least. It's much too complex for Warrior, even just accounting for wrist articulation and ankle tilts. I can't quite work out how the arms end up at the bottom of the truck, either they drop down or the torso rotates over them. The inner lower legs flip around the back to end up on the outside in trick mode. With so much going on it makes the visible hands on the side of the truck unforgivable.

A SS deluxe with visible fists in truck mode.

His studio series number is 112 and he is a deluxe. The box image also shows a great render.
Posted by First-Aid on April 18th, 2024 @ 7:24am CDT
My only bizarre beef is why he would have a cockpit. There is no need for one when you are driving yourself and can simply alter your body to create space somewhere for a passenger. My personal thought would be that the alt mode would not even really have a "front" as you could literally alter the mode to change direction on a whim by moving your wheels.

Hypothetically we have a terrestrial bias to see a cockpit. All we actually see is a clear section across his chest that faces forward in vehicle mode. We don't know it's function - it could be a scanner or it could even just be aesthetic. Perhaps it is as meaningful as a man's nipples.

Agreed that the fists really shouldn't be visible on something like this, but lets be honest, aside from dropping the length of his torso and rotating 90°, what the hell do the arms even do for transformation?

Judging by the art on the box it's a display case for the Matrix.

He reminds me of War Within's robot mode for some reason.
The Truck mode is definitely beefy and armed up. In a better paint scheme it may looks really nice, but that off white yellowed bone gray is just award.
Interesting that he does not appear to have a gun. Just a blue axe, that for some reason reminds me of the one from Animated Cybertronian Optimus Prime.

Lots of Cybertronian altmodes have cockpits. This has been a thing since G1.First-Aid wrote:My only bizarre beef is why he would have a cockpit.

But, if you really, want an in-universe explanation for them, the Aligned backstory first given in the Exodus novel stated that the cockpits were a holdover from an earlier time back when the Quintessons had invaded and conquered Cybertron, during which time the cockpits were used by the Quints as part of their various methods to control and enslave the Cybertronians.
We've heard that the Quints may be the main villains of this movie, so it could be going with that for why their altmodes have cockpits.

TFs have been so good in so many ways for a number of years. When stuff like this is shown and looks like an obvious backslide, I always wonder how long it will be before mainlines get crapped up permanently.

The backslide makes sense here though as a prequel.

It's the same unicron lion alt mode he had in Titans Return.

That Prime mask is definitely an unused one from ROTB, the face plate design is the same as from the movie.
