The Transformers are back — and they've got company.

The trailer for the '90s-set Transformers: Rise of the Beasts is chock-full of metallic mayhem. Yes, we've got our standard conflict between the Autobots and the Decepticons, but now we get to see a new breed of Transformer: the Maximals. This includes their leader, Optimus Primal, whose beast mode is a massive gorilla.

Tranformers: Rise of the Beasts serves both as a sequel to 2018's Bumblebee and as a soft reboot of the Transformers franchise. The film stars Anthony Ramos, Dominique Fishback, Michelle Yeoh, Pete Davidson, and more.

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts is in theaters June 9.
