Transformers: Rise of the Beasts is the planned seventh film in the live-action film series, serving both as a sequel to Bumblebee and a tribute to Beast Wars. The film is directed by Steven Caple Jr. and written by Joby Harold, Darnell Metayer, Josh Peters, Erich Hoeber, and Jon Hoeber. Originally expected to be released on June 28, 2019,[2] the film was delayed multiple times until finally being released on June 9, 2023.[3]

Continuity notes
Rise of the Beasts is a direct sequel to 2018's Bumblebee film, taking place seven years after its events, in 1994. The plot of the film has little impact on this one, beyond it being established that the Autobots have been stranded on Earth since arriving at its end. While waiting for Noah to infiltrate the museum, Optimus Prime and Bumblebee have a conversation that alludes Bee's time with Charlie Watson.
More notably, Rise of the Beasts serves to continue the heated debate among fans that Bumblebee began over whether or not the Transformers live-action film series has been rebooted, and is now ignoring the events of the five Michael Bay-directed movies. Promotion for the film has delivered a lot of fuzzy statements and mixed-messaging, but the film has been referred to (quite adamantly, on the part of producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura) as a prequel to the 2007 film several times. Either way, it's pretty clear the decision to set the film in 1994 was one primarily made to avoid having to directly deal with the timeframe of the Bay movies in any capacity.
For what it's worth, the film takes some steps to preserve the broad continuity of at least the first Bay film; the Transwarp Key's energy is explicitly stated to operate on a frequency that humans cannot perceive, meaning that they literally cannot see the huge sky-beam or the portal. As such, the film ends with the general population of Earth (beyond secret forces within the US government) still entirely unaware of the Transformers' existence, as was the case when the 2007 film began. As the time-gap between these "prequels" and the first movie narrows, though, it becomes increasingly difficult to imagine them fitting together without a lot of hand-waving away of specific details, unless future movies actually start making active attempts to address this.
In terms of active contradictions to established continuity, Rise of the Beasts appears to take the same approach as Bumblebee and ignores the events of the final Bay film, 2017's The Last Knight, by depicting Unicron as a separate planet, rather than the Earth itself, as he appeared in that film. However, it's probably important to note that the film lightly implies that the Maximals are time-travellers from the future (see "Transformers references" for more details), which would mean that the Unicron who appears in this film is also from the future. Thus it could be argued that his appearance here doesn't technically contradict The Last Knight—but of course, that would mean he was trying to eat his own past self.
Transformers references
- The Maximals are broadly depicted the same as they were in the Beast Wars cartoon: as a "highly-advanced race" of beast-mode Transformers who use transwarp technology to travel to other planets and interact with their native species, whose travels bring them to ancient Earth. Steven Caple Jr. has noted that earlier drafts of the screenplay explicitly depicted the Maximals as time-travellers from the future, as they were in the cartoon, and while the concept is so toned down for the finished movie that it probably won't even occur to general audiences, several references to the idea are still made on-screen. Transwarp technology is stated to open portals in time as well as space; Airazor states that the Maximals are "from both [the Autobots'] past and future"; and Optimus Primal says that he is named after the "legendary" Optimus Prime, which all combine to suggest that the Maximals originate from the future.
- The idea of the Maximals hailing from a jungle planet originates in IDW Publishing's comic books, which depicted many Beast Wars characters as the residents of the planet Eukaris. The planet is implied to be one of many colonised by Transformers in ages past using space bridges generated by the Transwarp Key, before the planets became separated and the key "lost." This concept of great era of Cybertronian expansion that led to the foundation of lost colonies on other planets where Cybertronian life evolved in new and different directions dates back to 2005's Cybertron cartoon, and became a recurring element in Transformers series in the 2010s and beyond after it was incorporated into the lore of the Aligned continuity.
- Unicron's armies being named the "Terrorcons" hearkens back to both 2004's Energon and 2010's Prime, which both featured the power of Unicron being used to create armies of warriors known as Terrorcons.
- Though not identified by name onscreen, Unicron's army includes multiple generic duplicates of a robotic scorpion identified by the movie toyline as "Scorponok." Though not necessarily a reference, the idea of "Scorponok" being a kind of mass-produced "species" of robots has recently been seen in the War for Cybertron cartoon, where both Generation 1 Scorponok and Beast Wars Scorponok were treated this way.
- Scourge combines aspects of both Generation 1 Scourge and Robots in Disguise Scourge; he's a herald of Unicron like G1 Scourge, and transforms into a black truck like RID Scourge. The various insignia he wears as trophies include the symbols of the Decepticons, Autobots, Maximals, Predacons, Terrorcons, Mercenaries and Wreckers.
- The symbols Elena studies are Maximal Cybertronix, from the Beast Wars cartoon. They don't translate to anything specific; the access code Elena assembles simply reads "XCB."
- When proposing different alternate modes to Noah, Mirage briefly turns into an F1 car, a reference to his Generation 1 counterpart's alternate mode. He also turns into a Laborghini Countach, which was just a really cool, sexy car, but also famous in Transformers lore for being the alternate mode of Generation 1 Sideswipe.
- Mirage is incredulous over the news that musician Mark Wahlberg is leaving his band, the Funky Bunch, and going into acting—a good-natured jab at the actor's leading role in the earlier Transformers movies, Age of Extinction and The Last Knight.
- Scourge name-drops Primus as he taunts Optimus Prime, the first reference to the Transformers' creator god in any of the live-action movies.
- Airazor explains that Unicron imbues his heralds with a "dark energy," which increases his power, but also has a corrupting effect—almost certainly a reference to Dark Energon, the life-energy of Unicron introduced Aligned continuity.
- Unicron psychically tortures Scourge from afar in the same way he did Galvatron in The Transformers: The Movie.
- When Optimus Primal talks to Optimus Prime about how the Maximals trust the humans, he says there's "more to them than meets the eye" to them.
- In the final battle, when Unicron sends army of Freezers to reinforces his minions on Earth, they make their descent in the form of yellow-and-black orbs, which appears to be a nod to Unicron's Mini-Con from Armada, the yellow-and-black sphere, Dead End.
- In a glorious homage to the 2007 movie, the musical highlight of "Arrival to Earth" plays as Optimus, Noah, and Primal escape the collapsing transwarp portal's suction.
- G.I. Joe and Transformers have frequently crossed over in comics and the occasional toyline over the years, though this marks the first time the two have co-existed in a feature film.
Real-life references
- Throughout the film, Noah and Kris uses the codenames "Sonic" and "Tails" (and in one instance, Mirage is referred to as "Knuckles"), a nod to the characters from the Sonic the Hedgehog videogame series.
- Kris wears a shirt of the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, another property owned by Hasbro. A poster of said series also appears on his wall.
- Kris heard playing Super Mario Bros. on his Game Boy. However, see "Errors" below.
- One of the voice lines that Bumblebee uses is from the film, Spaceballs.
- Elana sings the 1995 TLC hit "Waterfalls" to herself during the flight to Peru.
- Mirage calls Optimus Primal Donkey Kong.
- At the end of the film, Elena appears on the CBS news program 60 Minutes; host Lesley Stahl makes a cameo appearance as herself during the segment.
Errors
- When Scourge kills Apelinq, he welds his Maximal insignia to his right shoulder, but throughout the rest of the film, Apelinq's insignia was gone.
- Though the sound effects and mention of Bowser imply Kris is playing Super Mario Bros. on his Game Boy, that game wouldn't see a release on the system until 1999's Super Mario Bros. Deluxe on the Game Boy Color. The only Mario platformers released for Game Boy by that point were the Super Mario Land games, which featured different antagonists than Bowser.
- Elena sings "Waterfalls" to calm herself down, but this song wouldn't be released until 1995, a year after the movie's events.
- Mirage calls Optimus Primal Donkey Kong.
- Transit was listed in the credits, despite his scene being cut from the theatrical release of the film due to test audiences reacting negatively to the dark tone.
Music
A score album, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (Music from the Motion Picture), was released alongside the film on June 9, 2023. Paramount also compiled a Spotify Playlist, Transformers Rise of the Beats, featuring songs that appeared in the film.
