The Whole, Weird Story Leading Up To Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

We’re headed back in time for Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, but before we do, let’s go WAY back to the beginning and make some sense of the wild Transformers movie timeline. Rise of the Beasts takes place in the 90s, just after 2018’s Bumblebee prequel and this time, we got robots that can change into animals! Host Kim Horcher breaks down just how this new Transformers movie fits into everything, so if you need a refresher before Transformers 7, we’ve got you covered. Autobots, roll out!

Bumblebee, Optimus Prime and the gang are set for their seventh live-action film, but Transformers: Rise of the Beasts definitely taps into the Transformers vast history, specifically Transformers Beast Wars, so hopefully the robot gorillas, scorpions and other beasts don’t take Transformers fans completely by surprise. The earlier films in the franchise actually take place later in the timeline so Transformers, Transformers Rise of the Fallen, Dark of the Moon and The Last Knight are all in the future, relative to the timeline. Confusing? Exactly! Allow IGN to untangle this one so you’re ready once Transformers: Rise of the Beasts hits the big screen.
