In a return to animation on the big screen, Transformers One captures an origin story for Optimus Prime and Megatron. Chris Hemsworth voices Orion Pax, who isn’t the sterling leader of the Autobots we know quite yet here. His best friend is Brian Tyree Henry’s D-16, who will one day stand in eternal opposition to Pax as Megatron. A recent featurette teases how these two legendary characters got their start and how this fresh take on the Transformers mythos netted such a stacked cast of actors to voice the Autobots and their adversaries.
Hemsworth said in a recent featurette, “What intrigued me was the origin story. and to be voicing Optimus Prime takes it to another level. He begins as Orion Pax, a worker in the mines. This is his journey to becoming the all-knowing all-powerful Optimus Prime. It really is about a friendship where the two of them become enemies. This film has an incredible cast.”
