You can see them all Transformers films in order of release date at the bottom of this article, but for now we’ll focus on the live-action film series and how to watch those seven films chronologically. With Michael Bay movies and the two prequels directed by Travis Knight and Steven Caple Jr. respectively, this series takes you through decades of struggle between the Autobots and the Decepticons.

Bumblebee (2018)

Although one of the most recently released films in the franchise, 2018 bumble-bee takes place in San Francisco in 1987, two decades before the events of Transformers. In this box office hitCharlie Watson (Hailee Steinfeld) finds and befriends B-127, aka Bumblebee (voiced by Dylan O’Brien), after the friendly Autobot lands on Earth and transforms into a yellow Volkswagen Beetle.

Battling Decepticons and a secret government agency known as Sector 7, the unlikely duo rely on each other to save both their worlds before it’s too late.

Although Transformers: Rise of the Beasts was a mixed bag for a long time Beast Wars FANSthe 2023 action movie still had a lot to do. Set between the events of bumble-bee and the first entry in Michael Bay’s series, Rise of the Beasts eventually brought the Maximals to the resort and had them team up with the beloved Autobots to protect a powerful artifact sought by the Terrorcons.

With the 1994 setting allowing for so much good music, this big screen show played Anthony Ramos and Dominique Fishback as the people caught between the ancient fight was a lot of fun and could lead to a GI Joe crossover.

Although the prologue is set in the late 19th century, the vast majority of the Transformers takes place in the mid-2000s. More than a century after coming to earth in hopes of finding the AllSpark, a device that could restore life and order to Cybertron, the Autobots, led by Optimus Prime (Peter Cullen) team up with Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf), a seemingly normal teenager who helps them retrieve the powerful object before the Decepticons can use it for evil.

It’s the movie that made LaBeouf and co-star Megan Fox in superstardom on the big screen and introduced the world to that signature Transformers soundscape.

Often seen by fans of the franchise and otherwise straight worst Transformers film, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen it still ended up being one of the most successful entries in the franchise. At least in terms of box office receipts, if not Rotten Tomatoes scores.

Set two years after the events of the first film, Sam Witwicky and Mikaela Banes (Megan Fox) find themselves once again caught up in the battle between the Autobots and the Decepticons. However, this time they have a new threat, the Fallen (Tony Todd), who wants to destroy all life on the planet.

Set a few years after the “Battle of Chicago” that took place in Dark of the Moon, Transformers: Age of Extinction follows Cade Yeager (Mark Wahlberg), a down-on-his-luck single father and inventor, as he unknowingly brings Optimus Prime to life and fights alongside the Autobot leader as he faces new enemies, both human and machine.

With the fate of Earth and Cybertron hanging in the balance, the forces of good try to save the day before it’s too late. And given that the franchise didn’t abruptly end right after this, I think we all know how that went.
