Transformers One shows the issue with live-action.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Transformers One is not only an exciting addition to the franchise but also a solid reminder of one major issue with the live-action films. Serving as a Cybertronian origin story, Transformers One is the first animated feature in the franchise since 1986's highly acclaimed Transformers: The Movie.
While the primary characters in all live-action Transformers movies are humans, Transformers One is shifting the paradigm by spotlighting Orion Pax and D-16. The animated movie's emphasis on highlighting Optimus Prime and Megatron's origin stories and walking through their journeys from being brothers to becoming enemies proves that it is staying true to the essence of the original Transformers lore.
Considering how the Transformers live-action films are already seeing diminishing returns in their box office numbers and struggling to break even, higher budgets would make them even less profitable. Owing to this, it makes sense that the live-action Transformers movies cannot be all about the titular race and have to include human characters. There is also nothing inherently wrong with having human characters as leads since many story arcs in the original cartoons also revolved around humans.
