Transformers Movies: Release Order
The Transformers live-action franchise began with Michael Bay's 2007 blockbuster and expanded into a series of spectacular robot battles on Earth. Bay directed the first five films, creating a consistent visual style and tone focused on large-scale action and human characters caught in the war between Autobots and Decepticons.
This release order watch list includes two later films that function as both prequels and soft reboots. Bumblebee and Rise of the Beasts are set earlier chronologically but feature different character designs, tones, and storytelling approaches that don't always align perfectly with the established Bay continuity.
There is 1 other watch order available – see the link up above.
