Transformers One is going down as one of the best-reviewed movies that no one is seeing in the box office, and while some are already admitting the film’s status as a flop, there is one little fan account that could that is making the movie go viral online.
@TFHypeGuy has been getting a lot of attention on the Twitter-sphere for their audacious takes in promoting Transformers One, even going so far as to make fun of other movies that have been getting poor reviews like Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis and Todd Phillips’ Joker: Folie a Deux.

Their posts have been getting thousands of likes on Twitter, and they’ve even made fun of other artists that aren’t promoting a movie:
I ain’t even a transformers fan but this dude is slowly making me wanna watch TF one with his need of back surgery from carrying the marketing of the movie 💀💀 pic.twitter.com/wK0poXKFns

Not even former president Joe Biden is safe from his marketing tactics:

For now, it looks like the page’s goal is just to make sure that the film breaks even, ensuring a sequel. One of their requests is to have Paramount delay the film’s digital release until November at least—allowing for good word-of-mouth for the movie to spread—which it already is.
Paramount please, I don't want money.
Just don't release Transformers One on digital until the end of the November for the earliest.
Please give us a chance. Give ME a chance.
Let the movie BREATHE. It's GROWING ITS LEGS.
Remember GO SEE TF ONE THIS WEEKEND.#TFWeekend

The Streamr has even gone so far as to write an article about him (but Paramount has yet to reach out):
We spoke to the Transformers Hype Guy (@TFHypeGuy) and here's what he had to say:
– He's seen Transformers: One 6 times.
– It's not a bot.
– Nobody from Paramount has reached out to him.Read the full interview ⬇️https://t.co/47iVHV1858

We don’t know if hype alone from this account is enough to get butts in seats, but if The Substance and Joker 2 are considered to be too artsy for your tastes, maybe a Transformers movie would be the perfect time in the cinema. Chris Hemsworth and Brian Tyree Henry are great as Optimus Prime and Megatron, and it’s a great return to animation for a retro franchise like Transformers.
If it still needs to be said, Transformers One is now out in theatres.
