Critics Consensus

Dramatically satisfying with a dash of good humor, Transformers One suggests that animation might be the optimal medium for this oft-adapted franchise.

Wrapped in phenomenal animation, Transformers One delivers an engaging story centered on Optimus Prime and Megatron and proves to be more than meets the eye.

Wendy Ide

Observer (UK)

A refreshingly new breed of Autobot adventure -- one that has been notably souped-up in the brains department.

Kevin Maher

The Times (UK)

The screenplay from Eric Pearson, Andrew Barrer and Gabriel Ferrari is wildly ambitious, and includes the kind of next-level detail you wouldn't expect in a Spielbergian epic, let alone an angry android movie.

Rated: 3/5

Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube)

It's got lots of smashy-bashy action, satisfyingly crunchy silly machine Transformation, it's got a not-so-subtle message about power corrupting, and it's even got a couple of jokes that I actually laughed at.

This isn’t just another explosion-fueled spectacle. No, this is a deep dive into the untold origin story of the two most iconic bots in the Transformers universe: Optimus Prime and Megatron. And let me tell you, it’s wild.

This clear-eyed assessment of the dynamics of fighting for good against evil is sharper than it might appear. “Transformers One” has much to offer for adults, too.
