Transformers One has released its first trailer with Chris Hemsworth and Brian Tyree Henry.
The upcoming animated film will serve as an origin story for the franchise, with the action being set on Cybertron, as Orion Pax/Optimus Prime (Hemsworth) and D-16/Megatron (Henry) go from brothers-in-arms to mortal enemies.
The first trailer is action-packed, as these two iconic characters from the Transformers saga learn to harness their powers and, yes, transform into shiny cars.
