For millennia, the heroic Autobots, led by Optimus Prime (Peter Cullen), have been at war with the evil Decepticons, led by Megatron (Frank Welker). As the battle between the Autobots and Decepticons rages on Earth, an even greater threat looms. Unicron (Orson Welles, Citizen Kane), a colossal converting planet who consumes everything in his path, is heading for Cybertron to devour the Transformers homeworld and wipe the Autobots and Decepticons from existence. The only hope is the Autobot Matrix of Leadership. With new enemies hunting them down and dangers lurking in every corner of the galaxy, the Autobots take on a perilous mission to save their planet that will alter their destiny forever.
An all-star cast, including Judd Nelson (The Breakfast Club), Leonard Nimoy (Star Trek), Eric Idle (the Monty Python films) and, Robert Stack (The Untouchables), brings this inimitable, explosively entertaining Autobot adventure to life.
“Fathom is thrilled to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the release of THE TRANSFORMERS: THE MOVIE in partnership with Hasbro. It’s exciting to give the fans of this cult classic an opportunity to see this film on the big screen, the way it was meant to be seen,” said Ray Nutt, Fathom Events CEO.

Since 1984, the battle between the Autobots and Decepticons has come to life in movies, TV shows, comic books, innovative toys, and digital media, bringing incredible…MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE…experiences to fans. This anniversary of THE TRANSFORMERS: THE MOVIE celebrates the first feature film in what would become a global blockbuster franchise with millions of fans around the world. The next movie in the TRANSFORMERS franchise, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts will continue to take audiences on an adventure in 2022.
Tune in to Hasbro Pulse’s Fan First Friday on Friday, August 13 at 11 a.m. ET for additional event info and more TRANSFORMERS news and product reveals.
Hasbro Pulse Con is returning for another year of new toy, collectible and entertainment announcements. Today, Hasbro revealed a new TRANSFORMERS figure - Agent Ravage and Micromaster Decepticons Forever Ravage figures – which will be exclusively available at the 2021 Pulse Con virtual event. More info on that release below along with images.
Additionally, today Hasbro released a teaser image (in Japanese) hinting at a brand-new TRANSFORMERS HASLAB announcement “coming soon.” HasLab is the Hasbro Pulse crowdfunding platform that hopes to bring dream products into the hands of fans. The teaser image is just the logo of Transformers Victory. This hints at the StarSabre rumour we had heard a little while back but nothing is certain.
Transformers: Generations War for Cybertron Deluxe Covert Agent Ravage and Micromaster Decepticons Forever Ravage – (Ages 8 and Up / Approx. Retail Price: $44.99 / Available: November 1, 2021)
Decepticons forever! In celebration of 25 years of the iconic Beast Wars: Transformers animated series, fans can add this 2-pack to their collection, featuring the classic Predacon/Decepticon jaguar, Ravage! Ravage may have been reformatted into a Predacon, but after watching a secret message from his long-dead Decepticon leader, he realizes where his allegiances lie. This pack is inspired by the scene where Ravage joins the Predacons, converts into his former mini cassette mode and leaps into the Transwarp Cruiser’s tape recorder. This pack includes a 5.5-inch Deluxe COVERT AGENT RAVAGE figure that converts from robot to jaguar mode in 20 steps and a 1.5-inch Micromaster DECEPTICONS FOREVER RAVAGE figure that converts from jaguar to mini cassette mode in 4 steps. Pose out with 2 pistol weapon accessories and 2 blast effects and decorate DECEPTICONS FOREVER RAVAGE in cassette mode with the included G1-inspired stickers. Remake the classic Beast Wars: Transformers scene with package art inspired by the command deck of the Transwarp Cruiser that Ravage captains. Available exclusively on Hasbro Pulse in the US, Canada & UK in Fall 2021.
Pulse Con will hit later this fall, and Covert Agent Ravage will be available on November 1st.
Earlier today, Paramount held a virtual event for the upcoming Transformers 7 film. They revealed the title as Transformers: RISE OF THE BEASTS during the event and via this press release. Attending the virtual event were Lorenzo di Bonaventura (Producer), Steven Caple, Jr (Director), actors Anthony Ramos and Dominique Fishback along with moderator Anthony Brenzican (from Vanity Fair). Here are my notes from today's exciting TRANSFORMERS Production Kickoff Virtual Event Confirmation with Paramount:
Transformers 7 Production kick-off event
Director: Steven Caple, Jr Moderator: Anthony Brenzican Producer: Lorenzo di Bonaventura
Caple talked Beast Wars.
Title of next movie is Transformers Rise of the Beasts
Prehistoric, Predacons
Moderator mentioned Maximals, Predacons and "Terrorcons"? Not sure if he misspoke on Terrorcons.
Lorenzo talked about finding a new set of priorities with this direction.
Going to see new villains and Autobots we've never seen before.
Mentioned that Transformers has a lot of "tribes" and this movie is going to bring a lot of these "tribes" together.
Director mentioned Terrorcons again, so apparently not a mistake earlier. Terrorcons will disrupt the movie.
Difference between Predacons and Terrorcons. Predacons are more reptillian. Building a backstory to Predacons.
Predacons are the natural enemy of the Maximals.
Terrorcons are in opposition to the Autobots.
There will be some Decepticons in the movie.
5 factions mentioned so far.
Terrorcons will threaten everyone.
Rise of the Beast time period will place around 1994.
Sounds like it will still be in the Bayverse. Intentionally setting it in 90s so that it doesn't cut into time period of Bay films.
90s are rich in texture, mentioned music, and energy from the 90s. Director used the word "grit" to describe this era.
Drawing some inspiration from popular 90s films.
Will be a journey!
Lorenzo discussed how they are privileged to be part of this franchise. Access point are the human characters to get access to the Transformers characters.
Locations discussed:
New York City (Brooklyn) ... travel through New York, but Brooklyn is main area.
Peru, jungle, Monchu Pichu (sp?), beautiful landscapes, beautiful people. Incan traditions and how it impacts storyline.
Characters in Transformers Rise of the Beasts
Transformers characters discussed:
Main robot character ... is Optimus Prime, has a much more G1 flair. Cleaner look. Steven: "We are going G1 with Optimus Prime". Bringing the story back to see how (why?) Optimus Prime becomes the leader that we know. He's "new" to Earth. This film is forming why he wants to protect humans. Peter Cullen is returning as Optimus Prime.
Bumblebee as a Classic Z28 Camaro, but with an offroad kit on it. Literally called it Offroad Bumblebee.
Another Autobot ally ... Mirage is a silver Porsche 911 with blue detailing. Why not Jazz??? Rebel of the group. Anti-authority character. Lorenzo said Mirage has always been able to transform into other vehicles. Not sure what he was talking about? Mirage takes a prominence that is significant to the movie.
Arcee is 4th Autobot mentioned. Loyal soldier to Prime. Voice of reason. She transformers into a Motorcycle. Dakatti 916?
Another female Transformer is Nightbird. Vehicle form reminds me of Cybertron Runamuck. Transforms into a GTR. Still a ninja. Looks really cool. She's a Terrorcon. Lorenzo stated that she has had flexible allegiances in the past?
Different villain than Megatron. Big bad this time around is Scourge (but a different version than we've seen before). Leader of the Terrorcons. Looks like it might have a truck form or something. Large crane claw on left hand. Smokestacks behind shoulders with black smoke coming out of them. Sounds like a bounty hunter of sorts. Loves to collect Autobots and Maximals and tears off their faction symbols and wears them. Character design art by "Del Rio".
Beast Wars characters: Airazor. She's the heart of the Maximals. Rustic in design. Aged texture. Looks a bit rusty. Realistic mechanical beasts. Kind of gives me a Beast Machines vibe.
Rhinox is here as well. Looks like Headstrong. Likes to ram things. "Wants to use that horn!"
Optimus Primal as a gorilla. Has a traditional Maximal symbol on his chest. Not sure if that's final or not. Has hair on back of forearms and back of shoulders.
Human characters discussed:
Actors brought into conversation: Anothony Ramos and Dominique Fishback.
Dominique's character: playing Elena, works at a museum, trying to get a leg up in life, boss keeps taking credit for work she does. Intelligent person. Artifact researcher. Sophisticated thinker. New Yorker. If I recall correctly, she mentioned that she got into Transformers because of Shia and the first Michael Bay Transformers film.
Anothy's character: Noah, is from Brooklyn. Sort of like a father figure to his brother. All about taking care of home and family. Ex-military. Trying to find his way after came back home. Lower income. Hustling. Amazing with electronics. Anything electronic can fix. One thing he loves about Noah is his tenacity, heart, and will to never quit. Amazing to see his journey as humans meet Transformers in film. Anthony said Beast Wars was his Transformers.
Recap of characters discussed during today's event:
Anthony Ramos as "Noah"
Dominique Fishback as "Elena"
Optimus Prime
Bumblebee
Arcee
Mirage
Nightbird
Scourge
Airazor
Rhinox
Optimus Primal
Questions from the audience:
Are there practical elements to the film? Practical versus digital elements. Lorenzo says most of these movies are practical with digital effects enhancing the practical. The more you create "real", the more real the CG effects look. Steven: Cheat code for visual is partly the locations / scenery.
Daniel Cribb: What was some of main concerns coming into the legacy of Transformers?
Steven: balancing out what has come before and what he's going to bring to the table. Making sure people are feeling something new / fresh to the table. Something honest. Finding a relatability, a way to connect. Listens, close ear to the ground to hear what people are saying.
Rise of the Beasts will be more of a larger spectacle and not a smaller initimate film like Bumblebee.
Will there be rap music involved in the film? You will feel '94. Hip hop culture. You will feel Brooklyn. Will have a great soundtrack.
Who is your favorite Transformer and why?
Lorenzo: evolved over time. Ironhide originally because his son's favorite character. Bumblebee has been his favorite.
Steven: you haven't met his favorite character yet because it's in Rise of the Beasts. Loves Prime. Ironhide is a cool character. Of course 'Bee. Gonna be some dope characters he's going to introduce in this film.

The Hasbro Pulse Fan Fest brought us some great new reveals to go with the ones form IGN yesterday and most of them are now available for preorder on Hasbro Pulse. We will have the links below first followed by the images. Along with wave 3 from the Kingdom line (which includes commander class Rodimus and the titan class figure called Autobot Ark), we also have an exclusive effects parts pack featuring a Ractonite redeco called Tricranius.
Alright, so Hasbro Pulse Fan Fest happened and the big take away was the entirety of Transfomrers Kingdom Wave 3. It is exactly as was predicted earlier on but now we have images. So you will see the newly revealed voyager Rhinox, deluxe Tracks and Wingfinger, and core class Soundwave and Draconite (which is a redeco of Vertebreak). There is also a blast effects pack that comes with a redeco of of Ractonite. A really big takeaway though is that the fossilizes have a planned combined mode with a dedicated combiner head.
There was also a reveal of a Pulse exclusive Shattered Glass line which will come with comics and exclusive covers. The first figure revealed was Blurr. While they say it is Pulse Exclusive, the fact that we got listings on Amazon Australia gives us an idea that Hasbro is finding other avenues for these toys in the international markets.
Lastly, they also revealed an Optimus Prime which can Transform by itself. It is available on Pulse for $699.
