Disguise, Inc., a world leader in costume design and manufacturing, has officially announced new rights to design, produce, market, and distribute costumes and accessories for Paramount Animation and Hasbro's latest film, TRANSFORMERS ONE, in North America, LATAM and in some channels in EMEA. This newest addition to the iconic TRANSFORMERS movie franchise, produced by Paramount Animation and Hasbro and released by Paramount Pictures on September 20, 2024, is set to bring fresh excitement to fans globally.

TRANSFORMERS ONE is the untold origin story of OPTIMUS PRIME and MEGATRON, better known as sworn enemies, but once were friends bonded like brothers who changed the fate of Cybertron forever. In the first-ever fully CG-animated TRANSFORMERS movie, TRANSFORMERS ONE features a star-studded voice cast, including Chris Hemsworth, Brian Tyree Henry, Scarlett Johansson, Keegan-Michael Key, Steve Buscemi with Laurence Fishburne, and Jon Hamm.

Disguise is excited to unveil its new collection inspired by the movie, featuring beloved characters like Optimus Prime and Bumblebee, along with new faces from the TRANSFORMERS universe. The TRANSFORMERS franchise has long been a cornerstone of Disguise's retail success, and after years of collaboration with Hasbro, the company is confident that this latest line will resonate strongly with fans and consumers alike.

"Disguise has been deeply involved with the TRANSFORMERS brand for decades, creating designs for every major film and surrounding content," said Tara Cortner, President and GM of Disguise, Inc. "We are excited to have costumes this year to support the origin story behind Optimus Prime and Bumblebee, our two top costumes from this hit franchise.
