Paramount Studios confirmed the title for the seventh installment of its blockbuster live-action Transformers film franchise during a virtual showcase held today. Titled Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, the next Transformers feature will take inspiration from the iconic and beloved Beast Wars: Transformers storyline, which takes place hundreds of years after the events of the original Transformers and pits two factions of animal-based Transformers against one another: the noble Maximals, led by Optimus Primal, and the villainous Predacons, led by Megatron. Set for release on June 24, 2022, Paramount’s Transformers: Rise of the Beasts will take place in 1994 and feature both classic fan-favorites and brand-new characters, as well as the return of Peter Cullen as the voice of Optimus Prime.
Our main hero, on the side of the Transformers, will once again be Optimus Prime. But Rise of the Beasts will also look to expand the big-screen world of Transformers, beyond the familiar, presenting a clash between different tribes of alien robots. One of those breeds, referenced in the titled, is known as Beast Wars. “In their disguise they [take on] animal form,” said Caple. “So…in our film, they’re these prehistoric animals that travel through time and space, and we find them here on Earth.”
Meh, they lost their appeal a few movies back
I was quasi-interested in this since I’m a huge fan of those stories but that went out the window when I saw “will take place in 1994”. Once again it already sounds like the studio has no clue wth it’s doing. Such a shame since I did like Bumblebee but this already seems bayformers again.
I’ve seen exactly 0 transformers movies so far. They are even less interesting than marvel movies.

I’m too much of an old-school comic nerd so I’ve been into the movies even with all the changes. However, I’ve watched most of the bayformers and it feels more like some form of self-torture.

I vaguely remember trying to watch the first when it came out, I didn’t last very long, so self torture is a good description.
There is only one Transformers movie.
