The live-action film series is an umbrella term that refers to the series of theatrical feature films directed by Michael Bay beginning in 2007, including the vast amount of ancillary fiction created for it.
The second film in the series, titled Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, was released on June 24, 2009. The third (and purportedly final) film, Transformers: Dark of the Moon, was released on June 28, 2011.[1]
On February 13, 2012, it was announced Bay would direct a fourth film, due for release on June 29, 2014.[2] He stated, "Steven Spielberg and I are working on a whole new re imagining of Transformers, the fourth installment. We have been working on the idea for a few months."[3]
Continuities
- See also: Movie continuity
The live-action film series is a continuity family, and as such includes all continuities concerning closely related characters and settings. TFWiki has identified three primary timelines for the series:
- The main movie timeline consisting of the films, novels, comic books and various other elements that don't contradict each other.
- The Titan Magazines movie timeline, which began tying into the larger film-based continuity by IDW but eventually gave up. This continuity also follows events in a splinter timeline where Megatron won the battle of Mission City.
- The Sector Seven ARG timeline where the film series is a fictionalization of real events.
- Micro-continuities also exist in the form of video games, some toy bios, and certain comic story threads that are incompatible with each other.
The Transcendent Technomorphs refer to this continuity family as the Tyran universal streams.
