Optimus Prime Has A Message In The Masked Singer Season 11 Transformers Night Teaser

The Masked Singer season 11 sees robots no longer in disguise thanks to its upcoming Transformers-themed episode, and Screen Rant has a teaser featuring Optimus Prime themselves. The eleventh season of the hit FOX show has already visited the Land of Oz and celebrated the timeless work of Billy Joel, and even reminded viewers of classic television jingles with “TV Theme Night”. Also new to The Masked Singer season 11 is new panelist Rita Ora, who joins longtime panelists Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg, Robin Thicke, and host Nick Cannon.

Screen Rant has a clip from The Masked Singer season 11 episode 6, which features a message from none other than Optimus Prime. Realized in stunning fashion, Prime walks across the stage and announces the Transformers’ presence in style. Take a look at the teaser, below, and get ready for The Masked Singer “Transformers Night” wild card double elimination when the episode airs April 10 on FOX.

Is Transformers The Masked Singer’s Craziest Collaboration Yet?

At first glance, Transformers and The Masked Singer share nothing in common, making this collaboration one of the most unique in the show’s history. Another big The Masked Singer season 11 collaboration was The Wizard of Oz, which at least featured The Wizard of Oz’s best songs. Transformers is hardly known for its songs—though the sheer spectacle of the film series is a good fit for the glitz and production design of the singing competition series. The visual of Optimus Prime walking across the stage is certainly a sight to see.

Other The Masked Singer collaborations that seemed out of step with what you’d expect from a singing show include the season 10 episodes “NFL Night” and “Harry Potter Night” and the season nine “DC Superheroes Night”. Fun themes have always been a part of the show, but the inclusion of people like superheroes and football stars does make for an interesting juxtaposition of grit and glamour. The teaser above certainly shows that the trend is set to continue as the Autobots reveal themselves on the stage.

Even if the collaboration itself is surprising, the timing is perfect. Transformers is 40 years old this year, and Hasbro is using all 366 days to celebrate one of its biggest properties. The iconic Autobots and Decepticons will be realized in new action figures, collectible items, and more. With the robots’ reach now extending to The Masked Singer, a whole new batch of audience members may become inspired to take on the Transformers movie timeline.
