In the teaser trailer for Transformers: Rise of the Unicron (2024), the fate of the universe hangs in the balance as an unimaginable threat approaches. The trailer opens with Optimus Prime’s (voiced by Peter Cullen) voice resonating across the cosmos: “We thought the war was over… but something far greater is coming.” A massive shadow moves through space, revealing Unicron, a planet-sized entity capable of devouring entire worlds, awakening.

The action shifts to Earth, where the Autobots, led by Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, and a new human ally (played by John Boyega), are attempting to rebuild after their battle with the Decepticons. However, their peace is disrupted when ancient Cybertronian symbols appear across the globe, signaling the arrival of Unicron. Both the Autobots and humans must work together to decipher the mysterious symbols before it’s too late.

The trailer introduces Unicron in all his terrifying, colossal form. His arrival causes catastrophic events, with cities collapsing and entire planets crumbling under his immense power. Unicron’s voice (voiced by Laurence Fishburne) echoes: “I am Unicron, devourer of worlds… and your time has come.” The stakes are higher than ever, as both Autobots and Decepticons must unite against this cosmic force threatening all existence.

Megatron (voiced by Hugo Weaving) reappears, seemingly reformed, willing to join the Autobots. However, tension simmers between him and Optimus Prime. The trailer teases intense action scenes, including massive battles on Earth and in space, where the Autobots face overwhelming odds against Unicron’s minions and destructive power.

In a surprising twist, the trailer reveals that Cybertron holds a long-lost weapon capable of defeating Unicron, hidden deep within the ruins of an ancient Transformer civilization. The teaser ends with Optimus Prime’s powerful words: “We must unite… or perish together.” The screen fades to black, with the title Transformers: Rise of the Unicron emerging, accompanied by the tagline: “The ultimate battle begins.”
