THE AUTOBOTS 

OPTIMUS PRIME

The fabled commander of the Autobots, Optimus Prime transforms into a shiny red 1987 Freightliner LFA, with sharp silver trim. He is stoic, fearless, thoughtful and will not stop until the Decepticon threat – and any sinister mutations of it – has been neutralized for good and his Autobots have returned home to Cybertron.

Combat abilities: A formidable fighter, Optimus Prime has a left fist that doubles as an Ion Blaster and a right that doubles as an Energon Sword.

Voiced by: Peter Cullen

BUMBLEBEE

An Autobot scout most known for forming friendships with humans, Bumblebee converts into a black and yellow 1977 Chevrolet Camaro, now with a rugged off-road update. Open, optimistic and the eternal adventurer, he is fueled by the need to be there for his friends and fight to the end for the greater good.

Combat abilities: No matter the mission or challenge, Bumblebee will always bring his A-game.

MIRAGE

This Autobot warrior, which has been stuck in an underground car park for way too long for his liking, converts into a silver 964-Gen Porsche 911. Cool, casual and can be a little cocky, Mirage delights in pushing limits and testing boundaries, and isn’t afraid to challenge authority. Despite all that, he sincerely believes in doing the right thing and would never let any harm come to his friends.

Combat abilities: Can do holographic illusions. With the ability to multiply before his opponents’ eyes, he can throw them off his tail in a flash.

Voiced by: Pete Davidson

ARCEE

This Autobot sharpshooter transforms into a sleek, dark pink and white Ducati 916 motorcycle and enjoys verbal sparring with her friends and allies. Like her fellow Autobots, Arcee is a tireless defender of freedom and the common good, dedicated to protecting the right of all sentient beings to determine their own destiny.

Combat abilities: In her motorcycle mode, Arcee dazzles with her agility and precision of movement as a hunter and an elite sharpshooter. And it doesn’t hurt that she has a double-barreled Ion blaster.

Voiced by: Liza Koshy

WHEELJACK

A master Autobot mechanic, Wheeljack, who’s been hiding out in South Africa, transforms into a brown and cream 1970 Volkswagen Bus. Known to his allies for his ingenuity and technical knowledge, Wheeljack is also committed to ending the war that threatens Earth, so he and the rest of the Autobots can make a peaceful return to Cybertron.

Combat abilities: An ingenious inventor, a crack mechanic and an intrepid scientist, Wheeljack is one triple-threat Autobot.

Voiced by: Cristo Fernández

STRATOSPHERE

This Autobot transport plane converts into a military-green monolith that’s an amalgamation of the body of a C-130 Hercules, the wings of a C-17 Globemaster III, the cockpit of a C-5 Galaxy, and the tail of an Antonov An-225. A gruff and unflappable senior member of the Autobot team, Stratosphere is currently grounded but ready to fly back into action.

Combat abilities: Stratosphere’s vast size can fit the entire Autobot team inside his massive cargo hold. He can also provide high-altitude covering fire.

THE DEITY

UNICRON

Known as a devourer of planets, Unicron uses the energy from the ecosystems he’s ingested to become the most omnipotent force in the multiverse. An embodiment of evil, Unicron’s primary function is to bring chaos and ruin, and he uses the Terrorcons to accomplish this mission.

Combat abilities: Unicron is an ever so hungry deity so large it can consume entire other worlds – and all life on them.

Voiced by: Colman Domingo

THE HUMANS

NOAH

Noah is an ex-military electronics expert who, in his pursuit to help provide for his family, becomes a reluctant hero in the war between enormous extra-terrestrial bots that could end humanity as we know it.

Combat abilities: He’s brave even when the odds are massively against him.

Played by: Anthony Ramos

ELENA

A keen but largely underappreciated artifacts researcher working at the New York Museum of Archaeology, Elene has a passion for mankind’s history that might just safeguard its future.

Combat abilities: Terrorcons or not, Elena isn’t one to back down from a fight – especially one that can save the world.

Played by: Dominique Fishback
