The Whole Length of Transformers Universe #shorts
15,188Autobots and Decepticons have been locked in conflict for thousands of years, but the Transformers have only been a major, non-animated film franchise since 2007. Still, they've managed to accomplish a lot in such a (relatively) short time: There are already six films logged in the franchise, and a seventh film, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, is due out in theaters on June 9. The films have also jumped around in time, switched leads and leveled a whole bunch of CG cities along the way.
Does this make for a complicated mythology? You bet your AllSpark it does! If you want to refresh yourself before Rise of the Beasts hits theaters this summer — or if you want to try and dive in for the first time — here's how to watch all of the Transformers movies in order.
1. Bumblebee
Originally envisioned as a prequel to Michael Bay’s Transformers saga, Bumblebee was later transformed into the first chapter of a new continuity that wanted to stick closer to the charming source material of the early Transformers cartoons and roll out a new storyline.
The narration begins in 1987, with the Autobots on the verge of losing their war against the Decepticons and fleeing their home planet of Cybertron. The Autobot scout B-127 is sent to Earth ahead of the main group of Autobot refugees to set up a base of operations, but he’s followed by the Decepticons Shatter and Dropkick. On Earth, he meets human teenager Charlene “Charlie” Watson (Hailee Steinfeld), who befriends and names him “Bumblebee.”
2. Transformers: Rise of the Beasts
The latest Transformers movie is a direct follow-up of 2018’s Bumblebee (as teased by its post-credits scene). While some talk from producers claimed these movies still work as prequels to Michael Bay’s flicks, almost everything in them directly contradicts the history presented in the previous saga. This is a new continuity, especially if the long-rumoured crossover with G.I. Joe happens eventually.
So, the year is 1994 and Noah (Anthony Ramos), an electronics expert, and Elena (Dominique Fishback), an artifact researcher, find themselves in the middle of the seemingly eternal Autobot-Decepticon war. With the legendary Maximals, Predacons, and Terrorcons also joining the conflict, this heralds the arrival of Unicron, the Planet Eater, to Earth.
3. Transformers
The first of Michael Bay’s Transformers movies wasn’t a home run with critics, but it was generally well-received by audiences worldwide and kickstarted a long-running movie series that can’t be ignored. While the movie’s basic premise borrowed the essentials and some story beats from earlier iterations of the famous characters, it largely charted its own path and added a layer of “realism” and grit to the property.
4. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
The second instalment’s storyline actually starts in 17,000 B.C. as the Primes (the original Autobots) stop one of their own, declared “the Fallen,” from building a sun harvester on Earth that would’ve doomed the Sol system. This becomes crucial to the plot later.
5. Transformers: Dark of the Moon
Dark of the Moon marked the end of the original Transformers trilogy from Michael Bay, who at the time of production was unsure of whether he’d remain attached to the profitable movie franchise. While the next two movies would happen within the same timeline and continue plot threads from the first three, they also wouldn’t keep Sam Witwicky and many recurring characters around.
6. Transformers: Age of Extinction
After a slightly longer three-year wait, the fourth live-action Transformers movie introduced Cade Yeager (Mark Wahlberg) as the new human lead of the franchise. Although, much like the three previous movies, a lot of importance was given to his family. Still, his “struggling single father” attitude and inventor background gave the story a slightly different human angle.
7. Transformers: The Last Knight
The Last Knight wasn’t exactly a massive commercial failure, but Paramount and Hasbro did lose a great deal of money on this. And thus, the Michael Bay-captained Transformers continuity was toast after 2017. While diehard fans and casual audiences would claim it was a good run, the entire thing was shut down just as the story was getting to the famous Unicron.
