With Transformer: Rise of the Beasts all set to premiere in theatres soon, there is a special treat from Paramount and TikTok for the '80s and '90s kids who grew up dreaming of mimicking Optimus Prime's voice. Paramount has now teamed up with TikTok to create a text-to-speech function to put words into Optimus Prime's mouth. This will be added to the array of pre-set voices that are already available on the platform.
While the feature will not give a fully-animated Optimus speaking the words, having a text-to-speech convertor is still going to be a lot of fun. The function was announced today, along with a clip of the film to accompany the announcement, creating ripples across social media platforms.
The special Transformer: Rise of the Beasts TikTok feature is also quite handy and easy to use.
How to use the Optimus Prime feature in TikTok?
The Optimus Prime feature is free and accessible to everyone. The exact steps for accessing it are as follow.
1) On the Create screen in TikTok, record or upload a video.
2) Type in the desired text on the screen.
3) Tap the text-to-speech button.
4) After the text-to-speech panel appears, there will be a function titled "Optimus Prime." Press that.
5) Click "next" and the video will be post-ready.
More about Transformers: Rise of the Beasts
Transformers: Rise of the Beasts is the seventh major installment in the Transformers universe. This new film will take place in the 1990s, where the Maximals, a new breed of transformers will join the Autobots in their battle against the evil Decepticons.
This film will be based on the Beast Wars storyline, which is one of the most popular franchises from Hasbro.
Rise of the Beasts will serve both as a standalone film and a sequel to Bumblebee. Moreover, it will also serve as a spiritual prequel to the original Transformers from 2007.
The synopsis for the film reads:
"In the year 1994, a pair of archaeologists from Brooklyn come into an ancient conflict through a globe-trotting adventure with the Autobots that ties in with three factions of the Transformers race: the Maximals, the Predacons and the Terrorcons. Which it then later then leads to the arrival of the coming darkness that is Unicron."
The film is directed by Steven Caple Jr. with a screenplay from Joby Harold, Darnell Metayer, Josh Peters, Erich Hoeber, and Jon Hoeber. It stars Anthony Ramos, Dominique Fishback, Luna Lauren Velez, Dean Scott Vazquez, Tobe Nwigwe, Peter Cullen, Ron Perlman, Peter Dinklage, Michelle Yeoh, Liza Koshy, John DiMaggio, David Sobolov, Michaela Jaé Rodriguez, Pete Davidson, Cristo Fernández, and Tongayi Chirisa.
Rise of the Beasts was first announced in 2019 following the success of Bumblebee. The film has since been in development. Some clips and pictures from the upcoming film have already surfaced online, giving a glimpse into this new world of Transformers. This will also likely play the nostalgia card as the setting will be the 1990s.
Transformers: Rise of the Beasts will premiere in theatres on June 9, 2023.
