Key Points:

- Both live-action and animated Transformers films are part of the franchise’s future.
- The animated Transformers One sets the stage for the next live-action crossover.
The future of the Transformers franchise is set to balance both animation and live-action films. Following the ending of Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, which teased a connection with G.I. Joe, the crossover between these two Hasbro giants is now in development. Meanwhile, the upcoming Transformers One will explore the origins of Optimus Prime and Megatron, setting the tone for future films in the series.
What Is the Future of the Transformers Franchise?
The next big Transformers film will be an animated movie called Transformers One, which explores the early days of the robots on Cybertron. This film will act as an origin story for characters like Optimus Prime and Megatron, focusing on their emotional development. If successful, Transformers One is planned as the first of a trilogy, and it will exist separately from the live-action films.
According to Collider, in terms of live-action, the next major project is a crossover with G.I. Joe, where both franchises will meet on screen. Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura has confirmed that this live-action crossover will happen after Transformers One. While no official release date is confirmed, it’s clear that Transformers and G.I. Joe will share the same cinematic universe moving forward.

What Challenges Do the Transformers Films Face?
Balancing the large cast of characters from both Transformers and G.I. Joe is a challenge that the filmmakers are carefully navigating. According to di Bonaventura, the team is working to ensure that both the robots and the human characters have their own stories and motivations. Chris Hemsworth, who voices a young Optimus Prime in Transformers One, will also take on a live-action role as a member of the G.I. Joe team in the crossover.

The filmmakers are still in the early stages of development, trying to strike the right balance between the two franchises. With so many characters and storylines to manage, the team aims to keep the cast smaller, giving more focus to individual stories without overwhelming the audience.
Transformers One hits theaters on September 20.
