Directed by Steven Caple Jr. and starring Anthony Ramos and Dominique Fischback, the film works as a prequel to the previous film saga, being set in the 1990s, when the eternal struggle between the Autobots and Decepticons raged. is expanded by the addition of the Maximals and Terrocons.

The trailer shows important scenes from the film such as the first meeting between Optimus Prime (Peter Cullen) and Optimus Primal (Ron Perlman), the leader of the Maximals, as well as Noah’s character (Anthony Ramos) having his apparent first experience with a Transformer upon encountering Mirage during a police chase.

“Of all the threats, both from your past and your future, none compares to the one you are going to face,” Primal tells the leader of the Autobots, in clear reference to the Terrocons, the villains of the film.

For director Steven Caple Jr., the film will allow us to delve into Optimus Prime’s past and the circumstances that led him to become the leader we know. “I want to learn more regarding Optimus Prime, get below the surface – under the metal, if you can say – and explore who he is and his experience on Earth,” he said in an interview.

“Transformers: The Awakening of the Beasts” was filmed in various locations in Peru such as Machu Picchu in Cusco and Tarapoto in San Martin in a shoot that began in September and ended in mid-November. In that interval the imperial city was the site of various persecutions, explosions and more action scenes.

These have been translated into some scenes of the trailers, which show not only the jungle of Tarapoto during the first meeting between Prime and Primal, but also scenes of a parade in the Plaza de Armas of Cusco, a meeting in an archaeological site and also a chase on Peruvian roads.
