The animated Transformers One movie marks a return to the classic franchise formula after years of leaning into Michael Bay's action-heavy style. The success can be attributed to the prequel 'Bumblebee', which reconnected with the heartwarming core of the 1980s cartoon.
The animated Transformers One put the Autobots and the Decepticons at the forefront of the franchise after years of sharing the screen with A-list actors. The return to form was truly the culmination of course correction for the franchise on the big screen. The source of recapturing the magic of the classic syndicated cartoon from the ‘80s can be traced back to the spin-off prequel, Bumblebee .
Directed by Travis Knight with a screenplay by Christina Hodson (The Flash), Bumblebee went back to the basics of Michael Bay’s first Transformers installment: A simple story about a teenager and their first car. Critics praised the sentimental nature of the ‘80s-set tale, echoing the cinematic era that producer Steven Spielberg helped to define. While the prequel’s box office returns paled in comparison to the billion-dollar grosses of the Bay films, Bumblebee has an introductory scene that reset the tone for future Transformers movies to follow. 2018's 'Bumblebee' Kicked Off With the Fall of Cybertron In Bumblebee’s first two and a half minutes, the war on Cybertron is brought to life as the Autobots are in the midst of a losing battle with the Decepticons, including Starscream, Soundwave, and Shockwave. Optimus Prime (voiced by Peter Cullen) sends his scout B-127/Bumblebee (voiced by Dylan O’Brien) off to 1987 Earth to set up a new base of operations as the world crumbles. Badly damaged by the Decepticon Blitzwing upon his arrival, Bumblebee takes the form of a 1967 Volkswagen Beetle, resulting in an eventual encounter with California teen Charlie Watson (Hailee Steinfeld) and members of Sector 7, led by Jack Burns (John Cena). The Cybertron War sequence captures the Transformers in a way no Michael Bay film ever did. Not only is it devoid of Bay’s dorky humor and expendable human characters, but it also has the Transformers back in their original Generation 1 design
