'Transformers' Project In The Works From Studio Trigger
It isn’t easy to fathom how the Transformers franchise will celebrate its 40th anniversary. To celebrate, Studio Trigger is developing a new anime film with Shoji Kawamori and Shinji Aramaki working on the art.
While the live-action releases of our favorite Autobots and Decepticons have become a familiar sight over the years, there's something special about a return to 2D animation. The recent rerelease of the original film in an impressive 4K remaster has sparked a wave of nostalgia and appreciation among fans. Transformers began in 1984 and combined two lines of children’s toys in Japan: Diaclone and Microman.

Studio Trigger’s involvement with the project only increases its credibility, given its stunning work within the mecha genre. The studio, known for its groundbreaking work in anime such as Gurren Lagann and Kill la Kill, is set to bring its unique style and vision to the Transformers universe. With Hiroyuki Imaishi helming from the director’s chair, the film appears to promise a fresh perspective on the heralded series.
The teaser trailer, released over the holiday weekend, tantalizingly hints at the film's stylistic tone. It's a mere glimpse, but it's enough to leave fans eagerly anticipating the full reveal. The 40th anniversary of Transformers can't come soon enough.
