Meet the 5 Game-Changing Characters from Transformers One: Exclusive

ORION PAX
1 / 5

ORION PAX

Voiced by Chris Hemsworth, ORION PAX is a dreamer, a young bot who will grow up to become OPTIMUS PRIME. Rebellious and restless, he’s charitable to a fault and sees the best in everyone, including his enemies. But he is also really not great at playing by Cybertron’s strict rules.

D-16
2 / 5

D-16

D-16 is possibly the most trusting of all the young TRANSFORMERS – a rule-follower who accepts his lot in life. On the other hand, he is destined to become MEGATRON – the most ruthless of all TRANSFORMERS. For now, though, D-16 is aware of his limitations like all Iacon’s miners, he doesn’t yet possess a TRANSFORMER cog that’ll let him take on another form – and idolises his leader, SENTINEL PRIME. He has a deep sense of principle and belief that crimes should be punished, but is also best friends with ORION PAX, a constant source of trouble. D-16 is voiced by Bryan Tyree Henry.

ELITA-1
3 / 5

ELITA-1

Voiced by Scarlett Johansson, incredibly capable and a natural-born leader, ELITA-1 is hungry for the recognition she deserves. In her day job, as one of the upper management staff overseeing the unruly miners in the Energon mines – not least rogue tearaway ORION PAX, who she calls, “Mr. Zero-Seconds-Since-My-Last-Accident” and D-16 – she exudes a ruthless efficiency and competence. But there’s more to this ambitious careerist than meets the eye. Supremely agile in combat, and with a wicked sense of humour lurking under that starchy exterior, ELITA-1 is possessed of a goal and drive to go somewhere, she’s just not quite sure where exactly that is yet. 

B-127
4 / 5

B-127

B-127 is a loyal, excitable motormouth who is an endless source of joy and fun. While he may seem naïve and overly optimistic, B-127 has a resilience that means he can cope with pretty much anything and is the glue holding things together when friend-groups start to fracture. He is voiced by Keegan Michael Key.

Starscream
5 / 5

Starscream

As leader of the banished Cybertronian High Guard, STARSCREAM sits proudly on his throne and lives by a simple mantra: “All that counts is the strength of one bot over another!” Voiced by Steve Buscemi, he is a ruthless fighter on land, his aerial combat skills are tough to match, even on Cybertron.
