Transformers Rise of the Beasts trailer is out

I’m a huge fan of Beast Wars. That 3D animated Transformers series from the mid 90s where everyone is an animal was more than just a fresh take on the concept. Never mind that even back then it looked kind of cheesy, but the writing was superb, it had strong characters, substantial storylines, all of which made the series a prime example that a reboot or sequel can equal or surpass the original.

In this trailer (people these days make such a huge fuss about the difference between teasers and trailers, this is a trailer being headlined by a truck) you see both Optimus Prime and Optimus Primal meet for the first time and eventually work together to fight a common enemy. Primal’s Maximals get introduced and we get a glimpse of the Predacons. 

Best part, we get to see G1 Prime again as the Freightliner truck instead of the newer Peterbilt one.
