The TRANSFORMERS Franchise Will Be Rebooted After BUMBLEBEE Is Released Later This Year

Well, so much for Transformers 7 and that shared universe we've been hearing so much about! With Bumblebee set to be released later this year, the plan is now for the franchise to get the reboot treatment.

Quite some time ago, we heard that Paramount Pictured had assembled a writer's room to lay the foundations for a Transformers Cinematic Universe that would be made up of live-action and animated offerings. Last year, Michael Bay even hinted at as many as fourteen different projects being in the works, one of which we'll see later this year when spinoff/prequel Bumblebee blasts into theaters.

However, after Transformers: The Last Knight bombed at the box office, it appears as if the plan is to now reboot the franchise and start over. Transformers 7 was supposed to be released in 2019 but that's been removed from the release schedule in a promo image shown off by Hasbro today which makes it clear that there's nothing in the works between now and 2021. So, what's happening?

Well, the toy makers have revealed that the plan is for the franchise to be rebooted after Bumblebee is released, something which makes sense when you think about it. After all, the studio is working on a new take on G.I. Joe, Micronauts, and a number of other toy properties, so bringing Transformers into that fold could result in something special. As always, stay tuned for updates on this as it develops.

Sorry, but this franchise didn't become just toxic for the box office, it became nuclear.
A reboot won't help much, even if you put Stan Bush's "The Touch" into the trailer/movie!


Give the rights to FlashGitz, lol

@BootyPeep - Wouldn’t it be toxic after being nuclear?

@BootyPeep - a reboot can help, it helped Spider-Man after the Andrew films, why cant a reboot help Transformers?

@eagc1995 - Let's not compare TASM films with Michael Bay's Transformers. The former were mediocre, the latter were awful.
Buuut, I do agree that a reboot can help, if done right.

It's a bit of a shame, they were bad movies - but at least they had finally gotten to an apocalyptic scale threat and were probably going to head off Earth.

They had Unicron introduced, the implication was that the Earth was doomed and going to be destroyed regardless of what happened either they defeat Unicron and destroy Earth OR they dont defeat Unicron and he awakens destroying Earth.

Now it seems likely the reboot will put us back on Earth again.

Make them look more like how they're supposed to look and not like a bunch of silverware jumbled up together.

If they call it a "flush" instead of a reboot, maybe I'll give it a shot.

As someone who actually really likes the first one and hates literally every minute of all the ones sense with the exception of the forest scene in 2, I’m not paying to see this regardless. If they actually just made them militaristic action movies rather than sticking to the god awful civilian human characters it could have turned out different but these movies are just an insult to average human intelligence and competent filmmaking.
