I think an Optimus and Megatron origin story depicting them when they were friends is a great idea, and this trailer was quite funny. However, I think having Bumblebee be a part of it was a bad idea. Only because it’s almost always been that Optimus is part of the wiser generation and Bee as the younger. Maybe they could’ve had someone like Ratchet to fill in that supporting role instead.

this isn't meant to be optimus anyway, it's orion pax (who he was before he became optimus) i don't think people who actually are fans would be complaining much about the light heartedness of orion since orion was always more light hearted and only became more serious when taking on the mantle of a prime, even peter cullen played orion the same way. i think the actual issue (for me at least) is that this movie was pitched as a prequel to bumblebee, so im not extatic that it doesnt look the way the bumblebee movie opening did, to be honest they more resemble Transformers prime than anything (which is a great show but is NOT the same universe as bumblebee)

Although I could be completely wrong, we'll see how it goes.

Have loved Transformers ever since 1984, ever since the orignal series, and I will never understand why "fans" of Franchises are always such snobs when it comes to anything new within a Franchise, instead of giving it a fair chance. Nothing can, or should, ever, stay the same because it's boring, and becomes repetitive to keep rehashing, and retelling, the same exact story, over and over again, and with the same people involved as well. Absolutely love the fact that they're going so far back into the lore/history of the Franchise, and telling a new, and original, story, instead of something that we've already seen before. As for the outrage over new voice actors, which is absurd, things change, and people get older, and people retire, too. No one will ever beat the originals, or rather, the original series that each Generation grew up with, because it's a personal preference, but I think people just need to be happy that a 40 year old Franchise is still around, kicking, and trying something new.

Here's a thing that people should know: Optimus Prime wasn't always voiced by Peter Cullen. Garry Chalk did the voice for the Unicron Trilogy (Armada, Energon, Cybertron), and David Kaye took the role in Animated.

Personally I didn't think Chris helmsworth's voice was the issue since he's playing orion pax not optimus prime. My issue came from megatron's voice being so different, I know he's meant to be D-16 in this but from what I know about transformers lore is that his voice and manners don't change even after his ascension to warlord so this change had me doubting what I was seeing. As well as bee being here as well, as it is stated quite consistently in transformers lore that bee wasn't created until after the war for cybertron started.

This is a new continuity that is neither "Aligned" nor "G1", but rather takes inspiration from these two to create something new, given that there are a lot of things that would contradict both of them, but the cool thing about Transformers is that there's no set single canon here, it varies from universe to universe, so think of this movie as an alternative "what if" universe.

@bpo1975 is correct. The change of voice actors isn't the major issue. I believe most fans were hoping for a continuation or prequel within the Bumblebee/Rise of the Beasts timeline. Transformers One seems to abandon a grounded and mature storyline/universe for what appears to be an unambiguous cashgrab. While it is important to bring in younger and/or newer fans to the franchise, this doesn't give any impression other than a Hasbro toy parade. And, yes, that's what G1 was intended to be. However, some very talented writers, animators, and voice actors gave us something far beyond that. And what's being offered here doesn't come close.

Lest we not forget that Orion Pax had a very different voice from Optimus Prime in his first ever appearance: War Dawn, an episode from the original 80s cartoon. I don't know if this version is going down the same "had to be re-built by Alpha-Trion" route. Even Hot Rod's voice got deeper when he evolved into Rodimus Prime. So there could be any number of reasons why young Orion Pax would sound different from future Optimus Prime.

Those fans definitly never knew orion pax was optimus prime at first 💀

Even in the original series, when they did a flashback of when Prime met Megatron, Prime was still Orion Pax and had a different voice, When he became Prime is when he got his distinct voice that we all know and love. Maybe that is something they are going to do with Transformers One. Maybe towards the end of the movie, Peter will end up voicing him as Orion Pax truly becomes Optimus Prime.

I barely heard a difference and he’s my favorite character…

People are not understanding that they are young and they still didnt unlock theyre full potential. Im glad optimus doesnt have the same voice, most of the times in movies they take kids version of the mc with the adult voice, like tf does that mean? As we can see whoever can transform has a different face, reflecting theyre personality and character, optimus, bee and the others will have the faces we see in the movies after thousand of years, we should think of them as kids that are growing and changing. They are workers not fighters

He’s younger. People who actually are fans of Transformers will understand this. His voice was even different when we saw Orion in G1. Some people need to get a grip. The new voice actually does sound like a young Peter Cullen Prime and it fits surprisingly well.

We haven't heard Prime in the trailer though- that's Orion Pax before he was chosen by the matrix to be the new Prime

Even when the arial bots went back in time meeting a young optimus prime before he became prime he had a different voice. Before he got the matrix becoming leader

For those "fans" of Transformers, you aren't really fans. If you were, and you were paying attention to the trailer, you would know that this movie is about Orion Pax, the precursor to Optimus Prime. Even in Gen 1, Orion had a different, younger voice; Orion Pax is going to sound different; mght as well use a different voice.

I have to say, while watching it, I subconsciously kept thinking the voice was going to change to a deeper resonating sound. Didn't think about it until I was watching this.

I like that they are going into the origin of Optimus prime, and Megatron, the voice is hard to adjust to but I think it’s going to be really good, the voice fits them though lol, in my opinion.

This could be the funniest Transformers movie I have ever seen.

To be honest I love the new voice of prime we just need to get use to it but this is perfect time getting new voice actor he is not bad

From what I have seen it’s mainly Bayverse fans that are saying this stuff as they can’t accept that Transformers is more than just violence. Also the voice makes sense, cause in G1 Orion Pax didn’t sound like Optimus Prime until he became Optimus Prime, Chris Hemsworth is doing a great job, also don’t forget he trained with Peter Cullen to get this voice, so it is in a way still Peter Cullen voice just done through Hemsworth as his kind of successor (not saying anyone would ever live up to Cullen but still). Also their more light hearted personalities makes sense as this is set before the war, everything we have seen of Transformers before has been set during the war, so of course they are going to have very different personalities.

the character is pre-Prime, he’s Orion Pax. in the cartoon we learn that eons ago Orion was injured during the Decepticon uprising, Alpha Trion repaired him and upgraded him to Optimus Prime. if anyone is complaining about this character it’s really because they don’t know the full story.

Honestly I do like Chris's voice for Orion! it's obvious he tries his best to mimic the way Peter Cullen talks when voicing Optimus, and for a younger Optimus Prime, this doesn't feel bad, of course nothing will beat the participation of Peter Cullen as Optimus voice, but this one isn't bad

Orion Pax, not Optimus Prime. He's meant to be a younger version

Why would Orion Pax sound as confident and experienced as the Optimus Prime who fought battles for eons? This is the perfect movie to change his voice.

He's not Optimus Prime yet. He's Orion Pax, before coming a Prime. Think of it this way. Optimus Prime in the 80's cartoon was in his 40's, with his gravel deep in his chest. Orion Pax is 14, and his voice hasn't started to break yet.

i just see why that's the case, we never hear the voice what came before the latter we only see what's the present as much as more than their past

This is Prime as Orion Pax and Megs as D-13 of Tarn... Yes, Tarn is a place, not just a member of the DJD.

No one's voice is the same from a child to an adult! So even our beloved Prime has to go through a change.

A human like face on a mechanical life blows off the excitement

I actually like the voice, Hemsworth is doing a great job. He sounds like a young Optimus and I could see his Optimus voice becoming Cullen's Optimus voice in-universe.

People seem to forget that Peter Cullen didn't voice Optimus in all shows. Kinda like Mark Hamill, who didn't voice the Joker in all media.

I still have childhood PTSD from watching Optimus die

It's definitely a Transformers movie for the Pixar Happy Meal crowd, a stark contrast to the 1986 Transformers The Movie that scarred children in the 80's with all carnage and swearing, good lord! Those of us middle age farts have to reminisce with the G1 cartoon on DVD.

Most of us voicing Optimus Prime would sound somewhere between Mickey Mouse & Ace Ventura. I give him props.

I would put it this way; They're robots, their voives wouldn't change as they get older. As long as he's Orion Pax he can have a younger voice and positive attitude that would stay true to Optimus's origins. Once he becomes Optimus Prime he should be voiced by Peter Cullen, that's when he changed both voice and deminer.

People don’t seem to get that this is Orion Pax.

He is Orion Pax, not yet Optimus Prime. Maybe at the very end of the movie we see him and D-16 split and stop being friends, with D-16 taking up the moniker of Megatron, and only then, once Orion Pax becomes Optimus Prime, does his voice change. Honestly I think we can still see him cameo at the very end. This seems to be a adaptation of the Transformers Prime Storylines Depiction of their Origins, showing how megatron despises the caste system of cybertronian society, and created the decepticons to basically rebel. Even the artstyle is kinda similar (arcie is closer to her OG self tho than the prime version)

Is he Optimus Prime or is he Orion Pax who sounds distinctly different from Optimus Prime? Even in the original cartoon canon, they were voiced by different actors.

Now that I think about it. Chris is perfect for the younger Prime. Our voice changes a lot over the years. I am 50 and I can tell my voice has matured from what I sounded like at age 20, 30 and 40.

hes Orion Pax in this movie...literally says it in the trailer. Also we need to start getting sued to other voices, because if we become to reliant on Peter Cullen, we will be even more devsitated when he passes away. Which sadly due to his age is a major possibility.

Oh, it's more than weird how Optimus sounds. But I can accept this being his younger self.

What about, unicron trilogy and animated.

He's not Optimus Prime. He's Orion Pax, he's sort of the teenage version of Optimus, but that's not really true. Not sure where the story goes in this incarnation, but in the original lore the character Orion Pax gets destroyed and is rebuilt into Optimus Prime and in the cartoon version going back to G1 in the 1980s where the character Orion Pax was shown in one episode, a different actor than Peter voiced Orion Pax.

My only problem is that Optimus Prime's and Megatron's origins were already shown in the original series, and it's nothing like what is being shown here.

This is sort of a reality, when you have someone that is basically lived and performed a role for so long a sudden change and difference can be jarring for people. It usually isn’t their own fault, it is mostly because that people grow comfortable with how things are. Even if what comes next is an improvement there will be people that are hesitating to accept it because it isn’t what they are used to. Lots of people gave the Mario movie flack for the same reason, Mario was voiced by Chris Pratt and it caused a good deal of debate whether this is good or not. Truth be told you see this in a lot of different stories and media. A voice change from someone very iconic can be hard to accept. I recall when the lead actor for Spartacus (Andy Whitfield) passed away from cancer and his replacement (Liam McIntyre) was cast. It was jarring to see a different actor but the performance was solid and he blended in with the character very well. But still it was a jarring thing. Any form of change like that will always have problems with it, some are irreversible. Such as when they recast the lead for Stargate SG-1 for Season 9 through 10 It really is up in the air on how well this can go, because it often comes down to how well it goes.

I have been into Transformers since 1984. I have had no use for Beast Wars, LOVED the live action films, and I am currently watching War for Cybertron. And I have to say, I was hoping for a LOT more for an origin story. I'm going to pretend this doesn't exist.

I was five when G1 transformers dropped--it was amazing. Adults didn't watch the cartoons or play with the toys. Adults don't have to watch this and play with the toys--let the new kids have this new movie. G1 and Transformers the movie still exists, and we can watch them. Irony: There are whole young adults complaining about Transformers One who watched Dark of the Moon and Age of Extinction and thought they were absolute gold...

It's consistent with the original cartoons. Orion Pax is transformed both mentally and physically by becoming Optimus Prime via the Autobot Matrix Of Leadership. You'd expect an origin version of Optimus to have shadows of the future Optimus but also different.

It's not Optimus! It's Orion Pax. A much younger, inexperienced bot BEFORE he became Optimus Prime. Of course he's going to sound younger. It's a semi-different character.

This is the thing guys he's Orion Pax in this movie, he hasn't been changed into Optimus by the Alpha Trion yet. So it stands to reason he wouldn't sound like Optimus Prime. Looking forward to this movie should be a good watch.

People keep forgetting that this is not Optimus Prime...it's Orion Pax. Would be awesome if Cullen took over the voice when he becomes Optimus Prime. People saying he's too old, they can always do what they did with JEJ and Vader, use AI from now on.

i think what everyone is really saying is "when did transformers become a stupid buddy comedy?"

It look fun something we need in theatres and Chris is at least putting in the effort to sound like Peter Cullen unlike other actors who didn't when they took a shot at a iconic role.

it's hard to differentiate between cartoon and live action these days

i think they need to change the voice actors of this movie because this is the part where they are still not enemies and they are just workers

These companies just don’t get it. The I- is a huge universe. They can make a show about any other robot in the universe and follow the rules of the universe, and still have a successful show. Instead they keep cling onto existing characters in the universe, and end up alienating their fans.

They laughed at Chris Pratt before Mario came out. Am not surprised people are laughing now.

Yeah this explains why Megatron ripped Jazz apart

Chris Hemsworth's doing a pretty good job as Orion Pax for what we can hear. But, don't worry, we will hear Peter Cullen's voice as Optimus Prime when he will recieve the Matrix of Leadership (it's confirmed)

"Hope they got the IDW guys to write the dialogue"?

There have been many Jokers before and after Mark...the weird one was the CW younger Trickster, since Mark has played nearly every (perhaps even every last) version of him - except for that legacy villain learning at Mark-Trickster's feet.

He isn't a prime yet he's really nobody in this he has to wait to get the powers from Alpha Trion

He’s not Optimus that’s why. He’s Orion pax, notice how his voice changes when he gets the matrix. Also this is not gonna be a typical kids movie according to people who saw other scenes at the screen con it was showcased

The origin story was already written. If you go by the original transformer Gen 1 cartoons. Megaton was never Orions friend. He killed Orion and a few others. Also megatron was created as the ultimate warrior to defeat the autobots. Particularly the ones that carried the matrix. He killed sentinel prime before leadership was passed to Optimus.

Can we talk about how Megatron don’t even sound like Megatron ??

i personally think this movie is entirely none cannon because of the whole concept of them having to find a T-cog to transform, naturally transformers are made with them in instead of low working class not having one at all, also they all change how they look after getting one, normally the matrix of leadership would "rebirth" them into a prime, changing the name and look of the cybertronian, so yeah that's just my take and people shouldn't take this movie seriously if they are thinking about the main timeline, i still think its gonna be a great movie for introducing more people to this genre, i hope this clears up any confusion among the fanbase

This makes total sense, Orion pax should sound different be for he becomes Optimus and I bet when he does Peter will be voicing he

Those having "trouble" are never happy, no use in appeasing the few.

If it’s Orion Pax then I think it’s ok to have a different voice. In the animated series I believe the voice was different in the flashback episode and the personality definitely was.

This is before they were Optimus Prime and Megatron.

Funny how back in the day BI (before internet). We all accepted things the way they were and all was good, now in AI (after internet) people complain about EVERYTHING , and it's displayed publicly . I long for the good old days.

we haven't finished the movie... we can't tell... he is Orion Pax in this origin.... then maybe at the end of the movie they'll let us hear his voice as Optimus prime.

You can't limit a character to a voice or that character ceases to be passed on to the next generation after the voice actor can no longer give their talents to the role. Peter Cullen will always be Optimus, but that doesn't mean others can't also.

Peter Cullen's Optimus Prime's voice was inspired by his heroic brother, a real life soldier. His brother frowned upon the fake Hollywood hero. What made Peter's voice so iconic was how real it felt, and how it honored his brother

This is in past, so prime will sound different, that is also why it has a lighter tone. this is before THE war on Cybertron.

I think the new voice overs suit the bots. It captures the immaturity of optimus and megatron. I think it's a good choice

It's not because of the voices that people are up in arms about the trailer....
