Transformers One now out on Paramount Plus

The year’s animated Transformers movie is now finally out on Paramount’s signature streaming service.

As reported by Deadline, Transformers One has finally released on Paramount Plus as of Friday November 15, 2024. The film’s lead actor duo is Chris Hemsworth and Brian Tyree Henry as Orion Pax/Optimus Prime and D-16/Megatron respectively. The movie director is Josh Cooley, who also is known for other movies including Toy Story 4.

Despite receiving critical acclaim with an 89% on Rotten Tomatoes, Transformers One ended up underperforming at the box office. As expressed by ComicBook, the lack of box office success has put prospects for any sequels into question. On Reddit, fans and general movie-goers discussed about the box office underperformance, often either pitting the blame directly on Paramount or the marketing that failed to accurately portray the final version of the movie that released in theaters back in September.

To quickly recap Transformers One, it is the first animated Transformers movie since 1986’s Transformers: The Movie. The movie presents its take on the origins of the Transformers homeworld of Cybertron and how the iconic leaders of the Autobots and Decepticons were once friends before becoming sworn enemies. Towards late October, Transformers One became available on a variety of streaming services, with the home release on Blu-Ray and DVD set for December 17.
