Transformers One is, in my opinion, the best Transformers film that Hasbro and Paramount have made. The story, character design, and animation are all at their pinnacle.
Transformers One lore was accurate, but told in a different way because it marks a fresh beginning for the entire franchise.
It's certainly intriguing and educational. Despite its PG rating, the film elicits empathy for the characters and allows you to identify to them emotionally. Seeing Orian and D-16 go from best friends to foes was heartbreaking and awful.
