‘Transformers: Rise of the Beasts’ Trailer Reveals the Planet Eater “Unicron” as the New Threat

Paramount has revealed a new trailer for ‘Transformers: Rise of the Beasts,’ which shows Anthony Ramos as the new human companion of Autobots, who are facing their biggest threat ever. Directed by Steven Caple Jr., ‘Transformers: Rise of the Beasts’ will release in theaters on June 9, 2023.

The new trailer confirms that the new bigger threat coming to the planet is Unicron, who is the eternal arch-enemy of his twin brother Primus. Also known as the Lord of Chaos, the Chaos Bringer, and the Planet Eater, he is determined to consume the multiverse. His enormous body is propelled by the consumption of planets, moons, stars, and even the fabric of existence. Unicron will not be satisfied until he achieves his ultimate goal: to put an end to the bothersome creation that boasts independence around him and find serenity by becoming the living center of a swirling, infinite river of nothingness at the end of all things.

‘Transformers: Rise of the Beasts’ is the live-action adaptation inspired by the animated TV series “Beast Wars.” The action-packed trailer reveals many Autobots including Optimus Prime and Bumblebee, while also giving a new look at several Maximals, Predacons, and Terrorcons to the existing battle on earth between Autobots and Decepticons.

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts will take audiences on a ‘90s globetrotting adventure. Primarily set in New York, the film will see Dominique Fishback as Elena, an artifact researcher who keeps having credit for her work taken by her boss; and Anthony Ramos as Noah, an ex-military electronics expert who lives with his family in Brooklyn.

The cast of the film also includes Lauren Velez as Noah's mother, Peter Cullen as Optimus Prime, Ron Perlman as Optimus Primal, Tobe Nwigwe as Reek, Domenic Di Rosa, Peter Dinklage as the voice of Scourge, Liza Koshy as the voice of Arcee, Michelle Yeoh as Airazo, Pete Davidson as Mirage, John DiMaggio as the voice of Stratosphere, David Sobolov as Rhinox/Battletrap, Michaela Jaé Rodriguez as Nightbird, and Cristo Fernández as Wheeljack.
