Transformers is one of the most popular movie and animation franchise as well merchandise among kids and teenagers. While most of its movies are not critically acclaimed, they have a strong fan following. In fact, it is a franchise with one of the most Razzies (Golden Raspberries) nominations including 1 for Transformers, 7 for Revenge of the Fallen, 8 for Dark of the Moon, 7 for Transformers: Age of Extinction and 9 for Transformers: The Last Knight. So, basically Bumbleblee is the only Transformers film which doesn’t have a Razzies nomination and was loved by the fans and critics alike. But you have to give Paramount some credit as their spirit remains undeterred and they are now back with another film, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts which will serve as a reboot.
Transformers: Rise of the Beasts Full Plot Summary
As it happens, some lucky viewers have been able to catch Transformers: Rise of the Beasts at early screenings and hence the entire plot summary of the film has been leaked. This article contains that summary so beware that MASSIVE SPOILERS follow below!
The dark god, Unicron, devours a planet inhabited by the Maximals and sends down Scourge, the Terrorcons, and an army of Predacon drones known as the Scorponok. Apelinq, the Maximal leader, sacrifices himself to allow some Maximals to escape to prehistoric earth, leaving Optimus Primal in charge. In 1994 Brooklyn, Noah, an ex-military electronics expert, struggles to find a job to support his family. Elena is an intern at a museum and an artifact researcher. Elena notices a bird sculpture with a Maximal symbol and bizarre markings. She accidentally triggers it, which turns out to be a Transwarp Key.
Noah breaks into Mirage, thinking he’s just a car he can steal. Optimus Prime notices the transwarp signature and calls out to all the Autobots to assemble. Noah discovers Mirage is a transformer, and they start to bond. Optimus discovers that Autobots need the Transwarp Key to get back to Cybertron. They organize a museum robbery, and Mirage volunteers Noah. Noah sneaks in and grabs the Key for them. The Terrorcons Scourge, Battletrap, and Nightbird enter the city, following the Transwarp Key’s signature. Bumblebee is killed, and Scourge steals the Transwarp Key. Before they could kill Optimus, he is then saved by Airazor, who drives the Terrorcons off.
The Autobots follow Airazor, who explains that she is a Maximal, a time-traveling race of Transformers trying to stop Unicron. Airazor notes that Scourge is a herald of Unicron. She claims the Maximals split the Transwarp Key in half. Elena discovers the other half of the Key must be in Peru. The Autobots and Noah travel to Peru on Stratosphere, an Autobot that transforms into a cargo plane. In Peru, they meet up with Wheeljack, who helps track down the temple entrance with Elena’s coordinates. The Autobots enter the temple as Scourge and the Terrorcons arrive; they discover that the other half of the Transwarp Key is gone. The Autobots and Terrorcons battle for the key. During the fight, Scourge corrupts Airazor.
The Autobots meet the Maximals. Optimus Primal says that Maximals are an advanced race dedicated to expanding life throughout the universe and protecting the Transwarp Key. The Maximals lead them to a human village, the descendants of the tribe of humans who have watched over the Maximals. Elena notices Airazor is corrupted as she flies off. The Terrorcons arrive and steal the other half of the Transwarp Key while Airazor tries to kill Elena. Primal saves Elena and is forced to kill Airazor. Scourge goes on top of a volcano and combines the two Transwarp Keys. This opens a portal in the sky for Unicron to come in.
The Autobots and Maximals team up to fight the Terrorcons while Elena looks for an access code. During the battle, Bumblebee is resurrected and awakened. Mirage shields Noah from Scourge’s cannon fire and transforms into an exo-suit for him. Noah starts to take on Scourge but is outmatched. Prime then comes in to fight Scourge together with Noah. Scourge once again overpowers Prime. Unicron starts coming to Earth through the Transwarp portal. Stratosphere flies in overhead, and Bumblebee jumps out. Elena gets to the console and enters the access code. Even though she manages to enter it, the console gets destroyed as Scourge and Prime fight. Unicron sends in several Scorponoks to aid in the battle. Prime kills Scourge and prepares to destroy the Terrorcon tower.
Noah and the others start to run away. Prime destroys the Transwarp Key and is nearly sucked into the portal. Noah uses his exo-suit to save Optimus, and Primal saves them both. Optimus Primal reveals that Unicron must have survived the portal collapse and that he could return. Prime claims he isn’t afraid of Unicron, as he has gained an important ally. Noah goes and applies for a security job, and Elena gets recognition for the temple discovery in Peru. During an interview, Noah is recruited by a man who knows how Noah helped save the world from Unicron. The man’s business card says G.I. Joe. In a mid-credits scene, Noah manages to repair Mirage.
That pretty much covers all we know. Transformers: Rise of the Beasts is all set to release in theatre on June 9, 2023.
