Transformers One As A Starting Point For Young Fans
With Transformers One coming up so soon, some fans are wondering how much this animated prequel lines up with the multitude of stories in this franchise. ComicBook asked director Josh Cooley about the canon questions posed in Transformers One and he said that there are going to be moments that line-up with what older fans know and some things will surprise the longtime viewers.
Part of the fun of a project like Transformers One is that younger fans have a general awareness of the Robots In Disguise. But, maybe not the decades of continuity that can make their saga a little bit harder to wrap your head around. Be encouraged, longtime Transformers fans, Cooley is a franchise devotee and got a lot of the good stuff in there though.
The answer is yes to all of the above," Cooley elaborated back at San Diego Comic-Con. " Hasbro gave me this bible of the entire history of Transformers , which is, as you probably know, massive.' And I was like, wow, I did not know it went this deep. It was like this Tolkien-esque scale...There's obviously different variations of it. So we did our take on the origin, which is still staying true to the lore of Transformers, but it's also, this is something we've never seen before on screen. So I wouldn't say that this is a direct prequel to anything that's been done with live-action ones, but it's definitely its own story as well."
