Well, there’s no point in lying, many of us have been waiting a long time to hear this, but at the Toy Fair 2018 Hasbro Investor Preview earlier today it was announced that the Transformers movies universe that has been helmed by Micheal Bay… is dead.
Well, it will be after the summer.
The series of movies will come to a close this summer with the upcoming Bumblebee movie, reported TFW2005 and then we’ll see a completely new universe featuring the robots in disguise.
It will be the Hasbro Cinematic Universe we’ve been hearing about for a while now (here) and it will feature (presumably with the possibility of more licenses in future): GI Joe, Micronauts, Dungeons and Dragons and then an event movie that will, presumably, see all the titles coming together:

So that means that there will be concluding part to the fifth movie, Transformers: The Last Knight. But look, that movie was such a car wreck, does it matter?
“The new agreement with Paramount will have Hasbro having greater control of the movies including greenlighting the movie projects. $100-$125 Million will be spent by Hasbro for Film and TV content in 2018.”
We hope for a few things here… hopefully more accurate representations of the Transformers to how they looked in the original animated (Generation One) series.
We also assume that this means the GI Joe movies are now being fully rebooted as well as the Dungeons and Dragons movies (if you’ve never seen them, you’re not mission much, trust us).
This could all be very exciting stuff… just think of the shared toy line!
Anyway.
Rebooted Transformers movies. Yay!
Shared Hasbro universe. Yay (hopefully)!
