Transformers has been a major part of so many lives. Not just the animated television series, but movie goers have been wowed with the big screen transformations.
In this new installment that brings back the iconic Autobots, it appears there is more action, a deeper sense of mystery and new robot characters.
This epic show that hit theaters in 2023 gives audiences a bit of nostalgia, too, as this adventure that plays out is heavily based on Beast Wars! This special adventure, though. Also served as the beginning for a reboot that gives us a different spin, but for now, that’s not what the spotlight is all about.
The story begins with a look at the long running Autobot saga!
You can only expect incredible and powerful moments with The Autobots versus Decepticons in movies like the 2007 release of "Transformers and Bumblebee., a spin-off!
For Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, there is another exciting new set of robots known as Terrorcons, and it seems Megatron is taking a break from this amazing fight!
In "Transformers: Rise of the Beasts," you can see a variety of talented actors that make this series such a hit!
You've got legendary stars and some brand new talent as well!
You've heard them! But it doesn't stop there! You have to dive into "Transformers: Rise of the Beasts." to see "The Autobots." and who is starring in this adventure!
These super cool, heroic characters have been in the spotlight from the very first Transformers television series to those early toy sets from the 80s, but fans don't just remember their iconic appearances. The Autobots were a major part of movies like "Transformers," released in 2007.
Who's the most powerful Autobot? If you guessed Optimus Prime you'd be right. This is the one and only! This heroic character has led the group! It’s a role he has had ever since they first entered our world! With the goal to stand against "The Decepticons.", Prime has had the big responsibility to protect Earth! "Rise of the Beasts," shows Prime coming to a planet in a challenging time! They're back in the 90s as well, with the incredible task to gather an ancient key to ensure they can find their way home!
Optimus Prime is well known, though fans who watch his newest, movie appearance will be impressed! This time, you can see that his looks are more intense. This was all made possible thanks to Peter Cullen who was behind those earlier films and animated series, who still keeps the same amazing voice in "Rise of the Beasts!"
And, you've heard of it! But if you don't know what makes this really special, this isn't just some kind of animated look, you can see Optimus Prime’s face (a look inspired by Cullen's actual face).
So, with a red and blue semi-truck for this amazing Transformer, there are truly special details and elements you won't want to miss.
What makes Bumblebee so special?
This hero! Known as a scout who's tasked with helping to connect Earth with those from Cybertron.
Bumblebee really was one of the heroes of this special series since the beginning, making his way onto screens in the 2000s and receiving an awesome spinoff back in 2018!
This iconic Autobot always made a special appearance. As the franchise kept getting larger, he took center stage, again! As Bumblebee transforms into a yellow Camaro this is a powerful look that will surely have many going wild for the latest movie.
And even though there have been changes over time!
One of the highlights in "Rise of the Beasts," a key part of this amazing movie, he's brought back to Earth for those big moments, helping to save his friends! Even as he was in some difficult spots, his strength and determination showed in a moving moment as well. You will never be able to look at Bumblebee the same after "Rise of the Beasts!"
In "Rise of the Beasts," Mirage joins this world of Transformers.
But, he was also in a bunch of the animated shows that really helped launch this special series to incredible heights.
Arcee really is an important addition, particularly for those who are keeping up with all of Transformers! This was a special moment! The amazing, dedicated female Transformer!
If you haven't had a chance to catch this "Autobot" in other Transformers series. You will need to get caught up!
She shows that a lot of Autobot heroes and heroines come to Earth to make a stand! The latest show makes it clear how powerful she can be!
The group, to survive, must have a mechanic to keep their machines, moving. You can say, Wheeljack is that go-to hero, a brilliant scientist and technician, but if he isn't there to keep the rest of the "Autobots running, well it could lead to disaster!
Fans can be caught up, watching "Transformers: Rise of the Beasts". It seems there are going to be lots of interesting transformations and this hero, Stratosphere is the only one to transform into a plane, which means he can help move everyone along as they start going from place to place!
But just as many remember these powerful, unforgettable moments Stratosphere brings that action and gives "Rise of the Beasts" a big chance to make sure everyone has their moment.
It seems "Rise of the Beasts" is packed with an intense collection of Transformers and this group has an interesting, yet tragic storyline!
It's an incredible title! The group leader!
You will be able to see him! "Rise of the Beasts" will reveal Primal in his iconic gorilla form. This character truly is as impressive as his Autobot counterpart!
Cheetor is also part of this heroic group, and like many fans have seen in the 90s series. There is a great character arc and transformation for the fans.
This one will be interesting to you as the powerful hero. He shows that The Maximals bring lots of diversity! In his "Rhinoceros" form, he will become one of those formidable warriors.
"Rise of the Beasts" brings back those powerful characters but it's an awesome opening that helps show just how these worlds were formed. Apelinq, one of those super heroic Maximals is a powerful, iconic leader!
A powerful fighter and those who know his true origins will remember how his incredible skills were a special and devastating part of this series. In fact, it appears that Optimus Primal, had taken his place. It is a bit of a mystery!
If there is one thing you know. A great, iconic adventure has both great heroes and powerful villains.
It seems there is a force, one that the world hasn't really seen.
"Scourge" is the main threat of "Transformers: Rise of the Beasts," with an incredible and menacing power behind his abilities, it really helps bring these Transformers back with a truly shocking moment!
Fans who want to find a character who really brings a dark energy, should pay close attention. Nightbird. Who takes the spot as the next most powerful figure for The Terrorcons, makes a splash!
Unicron. The main enemy. But those who don't know about him, just you wait! The big, intimidating, planet-eating "Transformer!"
Battletrap is a power for "The Terrorcons," bringing immense strength. With his special abilities.
With an abundance of heroic Transformers, as well as all these villains "Rise of the Beasts" brings more diversity than most movies of this series!
However, that means more than just some characters on screen. You might think the film has lots of these characters! That doesn't mean it has the most compared to all the Transformers movies that came before!
While a number of Transformers are in "Rise of the Beasts," some might say it really took the back seat. For example,
While we see more diversity in "Rise of the Beasts", there might have been even more potential, to showcase the cast but it's pretty evident why Transformers has so many iconic moments, even through different incarnations! The power of these bots is here to stay and "Rise of the Beasts," was only one of many steps in this iconic story. What’s the one thing that stands out?
What might also make this unique is that this new series gives audiences a little bit of everything! It's the perfect chance to re-watch, get reacquainted or even jump into a whole new adventure! "Rise of the Beasts" had a ton of iconic heroes, with memorable transformations that took them to an entirely new planet. There is no telling what will come out of this world, what these characters have to offer, and how it will forever shift the Transformers story that's full of magic, powerful technology and all those robots who can't help but transform.
