THERE’S MORE TO TRANSFORMERS: Rise Of The Beasts than meets the eye. Based on the ’80s cartoons, the seventh instalment in the movie franchise promises to deliver all the explosions, bombastic action and giant robots that audiences have come to expect. But, despite its epic scope and scale, Rise Of The Beasts also provides more character-driven arcs for not only the humans, but the leader of the Autobots himself, Optimus Prime.
“Something I really wanted to bring into this was a lot of heart, with a lot of culture and a lot of us,” director Steven Caple Jr tells . “I felt like the Transformers, especially the Autobots and these new factions, they emote like they never have before in any other movie. I wanted to dive deeper into Optimus Prime and the layers behind him. We know Prime is this very noble character.
