![]() Optimus Prime was our noble Prime, and I just remember a conversation with the team and they’re like, “You know, in the past, whenever we would toe the line with Optimus, fans would get upset.” So I was like, “Well, what if we start off Prime as someone who’s just trying to look out for Cybertron? I think that will stay true.” He would try to look out for his own people and get them home, especially if he was just coming to Earth to seek refuge. So how early was that in and how did that kind of come about?Ĭaple: The first script I got, it wasn’t in there. I think there are pluses and minuses setting Rise of the Beasts before the other movies, but one plus is you actually get to give Optimus Prime an arc here. The fact that there was an opportunity to do something in the Autobot world and create a new robot that we haven’t seen just yet, or at least flourish and get this much screen time, was pretty exciting and what drew me in. ![]() And then I would have to say too the development of Mirage was really cool for me. We never saw them in live action so a chance to develop them, create new personalities, and see how they fall in line with the rest of the mythology was really exciting to me. We’re bringing in the Beast Wars, the Maximals, which was a really cool element which really brought me to the project, because now it allowed me to have an imprint on the legacy of something new. For me, I’m just a fan of the franchise, so definitely starting there first, not getting too caught up in the pressures of stepping into the franchise, and being like, “OK, what do I want to see on screen?” I love Optimus Prime, but how can I see him differently? I started to ask myself those questions. I think when stepping into a project and being movie number seven, you’re like, “What worked and what didn’t work ?” and being aware of that. Steven Caple Jr.: make sure it wasn’t a miss? For sure. W hat was the hardest thing to get right this time around? What was the thing that made you say, OK, I can stand behind this and it’s going to work? Germain Lussier, Gizmodo: So historically, the Transformers movies can be pretty hit or miss in terms of story I think yours really works. We also spoke about paying homage to the animated series, how this film breaks the fourth wall in a very unexpected way, and the challenges involved in making a prequel film. Speaking to Gizmodo over video chat last week, Caple talked about that as well as the not-so-great history of Transformers movies before his. But Caple did take the opportunity to give the Autobot leader, and most famous Transformer, a whole new story arc. That doesn’t happen in Rise of the Beasts, mainly because it’s set before the events of Michael Bay’s five Transformers movies which Optimus is a huge part of. That pair met in the unforgettable 1986 animated film, Transformers: The Movie, which saw Optimus Prime actually die.
