About the Transformers saga
'Transformers' was born in 1984 as a Hasbro toy line, robots that turned into cars and planes, and a cartoon series pitting Optimus Prime's Autobots against Megatron's Decepticons. Michael Bay, with Steven Spielberg producing, brought it to cinemas in 2007 with 'Transformers', starring Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox, and directed five films in ten years.
They were box office giants: 'Dark of the Moon' (2011) and 'Age of Extinction' (2014), with Mark Wahlberg, each took more than $1 billion. The series changed course with Travis Knight's 'Bumblebee' (2018), starring Hailee Steinfeld, a smaller story set in 1987 that was the best reviewed of all, and 'Rise of the Beasts' (2023) added the Maximals in 1994.
The animated 'Transformers One' (2024) told the origin of Optimus Prime and Megatron on Cybertron, back when they were friends, with the voices of Chris Hemsworth and Brian Tyree Henry. That makes it first in story order, followed by 'Bumblebee'. Peter Cullen, Optimus' voice in the 1984 cartoon, has kept voicing him in the live-action films.
