While feature pages around the world agree that the “Transformers” series has nothing more to offer than high-budget CGI material combat, the action goggles managed to keep the cash register ringing with reliable regularity. After 2018 staged Travis Knight’s almost tender spin-off “Bumblebee,” in which the director proved that the franchise doesn’t necessarily have to rely on effects overkill, it’s now back to its rowdy roots.
“Transformers 7” or “Rise of the Beasts” does not focus on an emotional story, but large images of the powerful computer. The new trailer now released clearly shows that Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and the other heavy metal companions are facing a threat unique to date. The mega hit of Steven Caple Jr. (“Creed II”) will be in German cinemas from June 8, 2023.
Alien robot zombies are getting ready to attack!
The title already makes it clear that “Transformers: Rise of the Beasts” will get to the point. With a budget of $200 million, Steven Caple Jr. not only reviving the classic feud between the Autobots and the Decepticons. There’s also a slew of new alien robots: the Maximals, the Predacons, and the Terrorcons!
What’s special: Unlike the Autobots, who can only transform into vehicles, the Maximals can take on animal form. Predacons, on the other hand, usually transform into – wait a minute – dragons! And the Terrorcons are infected Transformers coming back from the dead. In summary, this means that not only will there be alien robot zombies in Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, but probably some epic bangs too!
While Anthony Ramos (“A Star is Born”), Dominique Fishback (“Judas And The Black Messiah”), Luna Lauren Vélez (“Dexter”) and rapper Tobe Nwigwe can be seen on camera, the original English version features the Hear the voices of the following stars:
Peter Cullen (Optimus Prime), Pete Davidson (Mirage), Gray Griffin (Arcee), Sebastian Maniscalco (Wheeljack). The Maximals are voiced by Ron Perlman (Optimus Primal) and Everytime Everywhere All At Once star Michelle Yeoh (Airazor). Of course there are more Maximals, but these – like the Terrorcons – cannot speak.
