‘Toy Story 4’s Josh Cooley is directing the project.

The Ecto-1 robot comes with its own proton pack, which is almost too perfect.

The new prequel is a breath of fresh air for the stale series.

Optimus Prime and a handful of Autobots and Decepticons are back in the new trailer for the ‘Transformers’ spinoff.

Paramount’s ‘Transformers’ series is in the process of getting a major rebrand.

How far off are we from a Transformers/Power Rangers crossover?

We haven’t seen the last of ‘Transformers,’ or any of Hasbro’s other properties on the big screen. The toy company has now struck up a new deal with Paramount.

The Transformers movies are basically perfect except for one small problem: Bumblebee, the lovable Autobot hero, isn’t a Volkswagen Beetle, as he was in the original Transformers toys and cartoon series. (In the films, he’s a Chevy muscle car, the model of which varies based on whatever is Chevrolet’s hot new car of the moment.) Other than that? All five Transformers movies are basically 10/10, would own on Blu-ray.

Transformers: The Last Knight probably won’t be the end of Michael Bay’s Transformers movies, and the series seems to be expanding, whether the people want it to or not. There’s a planned Bumblebee spinoff in the works, which will focus on the smallest of the Autobots before the events of the main Transformers series. Since we’re going back into the past with this, and since Hasbro’s Transformers toys first hit the market 30 years ago, it seems fitting that the Bumblebee movie is going to be set in the 1980s.

While Michael Bay’s Transformers series may be at an end with the upcoming The Last Knight, there are a number of Transformers spinoffs in the works to keep the robots in disguise on the big screen for the next few years at least. One of these is the Bumblebee movie, and there are also talks of taking the robots back in time to the days of ancient Rome.
