Talking about honouring the historical legacy of Optimus Prime by adding his own unique style to the character, Chris Hemsworth said in a statement, “It feels fantastic to be part of the Transformers franchise. Like many of my friends, I grew up playing with Transformers and watching cartoons. Later I became a big fan of the films. Just to be involved is incredible; to be voicing Optimus is another level entirely”.

He further mentioned, “Peter Cullen left me some big shoes to fill. I began by listening to him and wanting to honour his work, but his Optimus Prime is an all-knowing, powerful, older individual. Orion is more spontaneous. Finding the pitch of the voice and the different rhythm was a fun creative journey”.

Unlike the live-action Transformers movies, which depict the robots as battle-ready from birth, ‘Transformers One’ presents a fresh narrative, revealing the character’s transformative journey. The film delves into the deep bond between Orion Pax and D-16, shedding light on the events that ultimately led to their epic clash. The film also stars the voice cast led by Chris Hemsworth, Brian Tyree Henry, and Scarlett Johansson, Keegan-Michael Key, Steve Buscemi, Laurence Fishburne, and Jon Hamm.
