With its combination of toys and cartoons, the Transformers franchise has captured the imagination of generations since the 1980s. After the new movie Transformer One premiered in Japan, last week the crew reveals a Transformers One collaboration poster inspired by Masaru Sakamoto's Gridman Universe of Studio Trigger.

According to the official Japanese X account (formerly Twitter) for the Transformers line, this is Japan's participation in the collaborative poster project. The film features Sakamoto taking on Optimus Prime (Orion Pax), Megatron (D-16), Bumblebee (B-127) and Elita-1's first transformation.
