How Transformers 7 Is Already Making Optimus Prime Much Better

Recent reveals from Transformers: Rise of the Beasts show that the movie is already making some big improvements to Optimus Prime over the previous films. Scheduled to release on June 24, 2022, Transformers 7 is set in the mid-1990s and will pull heavily from the Beast Wars: Transformers cartoon. Optimus Prime will be a central character for the first time since 2017’s Transformers: The Last Knight, and it looks like he’ll be a lot better this time around.

When Transformers: Rise of the Beasts was first announced, it was teased that many of the robots – including Optimus Prime – would be getting new designs inspired by the original G1 cartoon. Bumblebee did something similar with its own Transformers designs, earning high praise from fans and critics. Optimus even appeared sparingly in Bumblebee, sporting a classic G1 look, but he didn’t stick around that long, making his role more of a cameo.

Optimus will be back in the protagonist’s seat in Transformers 7, and early footage from the film’s production has teased that he’ll be better than ever. A leaked video from the movie’s NYC filming showed the truck that will be Optimus’ vehicle form, and it’s a spot-on replica of his G1 look. Hopefully, that means that the same kind of attention is being paid to his robot form. The Michael Bay Transformers movies received constant complaints about the robots themselves being too overdesigned, leading to characters who were hard to tell apart and bore little resemblance to the original, iconic looks that made them popular in the first place. But it seems that Transformers: Rise of the Beasts is fixing that issue, at least when it comes to Optimus Prime.

With luck, the improved Optimus design will also end up being indicative of some better writing for the character. The Autobot leader was put through some bizarre storylines in Bay’s films, which ultimately pushed him away from what fans have historically loved about the character. Optimus Prime is a proud leader, a strong believer in freedom, and an incredibly loyal friend to his allies. It’s those qualities that have helped him remain so popular through the years, and it looks like that version of Optimus may be returning in Transformers 7.

Paramount has already announced that Optimus will have a major character arc in Rise of the Beasts that will explain how he became so fold of humanity. That’s a promising pitch, and one that fits with his persona from the original cartoon. So far, the new movie has at least gotten his vehicle design right. And hopefully, that will be just one of many ways that Transformers: Rise of the Beasts is making Optimus Prime better.
