The “Transformers” franchise returned to theaters in 2023 with “Transformers: Rise of the Beasts,” the latest installment in the big-screen, live-action adaptation of the beloved Hasbro toy line. “Rise of the Beasts,” which is the planned start of a new trilogy, is the seventh film in the series. Chronologically, it comes after “Bumblebee,” which was a prequel to the first five films in the series. This means you don’t technically have to watch or rewatch any of the Michael Bay-helmed movies before — but don’t you kind of want to anyway?
In case you forgot, Michael Bay was behind the camera for “Transformers” (2007), “Revenge of the Fallen” (2009), “Dark of the Moon” (2011), “Age of Extinction” (2014), and “The Last Knight” (2017). Travis Knight (“Kubo and the Two Strings”) took over for “Bumblebee” (2018) and Steven Caple Jr. (“Creed II”) stepped in for “Rise of the Beasts” (2023). The latest film in the franchise takes place in the 1990s, after the events of “Bumblebee.” In it, a new faction of Transformers called the Maximals join the Autobots as they battle to save Earth.
Unfortunately, it is not currently possible to watch all of the “Transformers” films in one streaming place. In fact, some of the movies are only available to watch as VOD rentals or purchases. But fret not. We’ll walk you through the options for which “Transformers” films are available to stream (and where) and which “Transformers” films are available to buy or rent (and where).
