All Transformers movies are explained in chronological order (opposite to the release date order) in this article on how to watch them. Here are all the Transformers movies!
The timeline of Transformers movies can be quite complex, much like other expansive film series. When we think about time travel in Terminator or the multiple dimensions in Marvel and Star Wars, the Transformers universe is filled with confusing stories. Especially with the release of Bumblebee in 2018 and upcoming films, the Transformers timeline may become even more uncertain. In this article, we explain how to watch all Transformers movies in a more understandable order, not based on release dates, but in chronological order. Here is the answer to the question of in what order the Transformers series should be watched!
What Is The Watching Order of Transformers Movies?
- Bumblebee (2018)
- Transformers (2007)
- Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)
- Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011)
- Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014)
- Transformers: The Last Knight (2017)
Bumblebee (2018)
Set in the year 1987, this film is the latest in the chronological order of the series, with Bumblebee being a prequel that softly reboots the franchise. Bumblebee emerges as an endearing character in a state of fugitive. The story begins with Bumblebee taking refuge in a junkyard in a small coastal town in California and trying to discover his place in the world. The adventure unfolds as Bumblebee, who is wounded and damaged from the war, crosses paths with 18-year-old Charlie (Hailee Steinfeld) as she tries to explore his world.
Transformers (2007)
Görünüşe göre Transformers serisi, başlangıcını ilk filmle değil, Bumblebee’nin ortaya çıkışıyla birlikte olan ana zaman çizgisine sahip. Ancak, her film, Autobot’ların Dünya’ya gelme süreçlerini ve hatta onların varlığını Dünya tarihine yeniden şekillendirme eğiliminde. Hatta bazı filmler, Autobot’ları Kral Arthur’un mitolojisine bile entegre ederek oldukça ilginç bir tarih yaratıyor.
Efsaneye göre, çok uzun zaman önce, uzak bir galaksideki Cybertron gezegeninde savaş patlak veriyor. Bu gezegen, dönüşebilen robotların, yani Transformerların dünyasıdır. Bu dünyada da her yerde olduğu gibi iyiler ve kötüler arasında bir ayrım vardır.
Bu evrensel çatışma, Transformers serisinin temelini oluşturuyor. Her film, bu çatışmayı farklı bir perspektiften ele alarak, Autobot’ların ve Decepticon’ların Dünya ile ilişkilerini ve tarihini yeniden yazıyor. Bu, seriyi izleyenleri farklı zaman dilimlerine ve olay örgülerine götürerek, her seferinde yeni bir macera ve keşif sunuyor.
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)
Bu Transformers filmi, MÖ 17.000 yıllarına kadar uzanan bir mitolojiye dayanıyor ve film serisinin olayları oldukça dağınık bir şekilde bir araya getirildiği düşünülürse, bu yapı, kendi mitolojisini sağlam bir şekilde inşa etmiyor. Hikaye, bir önceki filmdeki olaylardan iki yıl sonrasını konu alsa da, odak noktası hala Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) etrafında dönüyor. Sam, AllSpark adı verilen ve onun etrafında dönen olaylara neden olan bu gizemli nesnenin bir parçasını elde eder.
Sam’in Transformers’ın tarihini araştırmasıyla birlikte, bu garip makinelerin kökenleri ve dünya üzerindeki varlıklarının tarihine dair yeni detaylar keşfeder. Ancak bu bilgileri ele geçirmeye çalışan Decepticonlar, Sam’i rehin alır ve olaylar karmaşık bir şekilde gelişir. Film, Transformers evreninin derinliklerine inerken, karakterler arasındaki dinamikler ve mitoloji üzerine odaklanarak seyirciyi heyecanlandırmaya çalışıyor.
Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011)
“Transformers: Dark Side of the Moon” stands out as the third film in the series. Directed by Michael Bay and produced by Steven Spielberg, this epic movie captivatingly follows the traces of the Autobot and Decepticon war on the planet Cybertron. The story begins with the former leader of the Autobots, Sentinel Prime, departing from Cybertron and heading towards Earth. However, Sentinel Prime’s spacecraft crashes on the dark side of the Moon, and as soon as humans set foot on the Moon, they discover Sentinel’s ship.
Years later, the Autobot team lands on the dark side of the Moon, bringing the remaining five colonies with Sentinel Prime. Using the power of the Optimus Matrix, they revive Sentinel, igniting a glimmer of hope for the salvation of Cybertron. However, this hope is overshadowed when they learn that Sentinel Prime has allied with the Decepticons and is undermining the trust shared with humans. Sentinel, making a deal with the Decepticons, kills Ironhide and escapes with them.
Sentinel Prime, now united with the Decepticons’ colonies, sets out to bring Cybertron to Earth. As humans try to protect Sentinel against the Decepticon attack, the Autobots are blamed and sent into space. However, hidden inside the rocket, the Autobots successfully execute their plan and return to Earth. The war erupts in Chicago, reaching the climax of the conflict between Autobots and Decepticons, determining the fate of the world in this epic struggle.
Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014)
After four years of the epic battle between Autobots and Decepticons, the city of Chicago lies in ruins, with thousands of lives lost. However, this war has saved the world from a great threat. While humanity tries to heal its wounds and return to normal life, the American Government has increasingly severed its ties with the Autobots and even established a special CIA unit called the Grave Wind tasked with eliminating the surviving Autobots.
Leading a peaceful life in Texas, Cade Yeager one day does his best to repair a damaged truck. However, when he realizes that the truck is actually an injured Optimus Prime, he begins to attract the attention of the CIA. Cade must transform into an unexpected hero to transport Optimus Prime to Chicago and facilitate communication with other Autobots. Because a new threat that endangers the world is about to set out.
Optimus Prime and the Autobots, with the help of the human community led by Cade Yeager, must confront the most formidable enemy they have ever faced. However, this time, it’s not just a battle between robots; it’s a struggle where humans determine their own destinies.
Transformers: The Last Knight (2017)
The Last Knight reexamines the fundamental myths of the Transformers series, approaching the concept of heroism with a fresh perspective. As the epic war between humans and Transformers continues, Optimus Prime has stepped away from his duty. The key to saving our future lies in the depths of a mysterious past and the secrets of Transformers on Earth. The salvation of our world is guided by an unexpected alliance, including Cade Yeager (Mark Wahlberg), Bumblebee, a British lord (Sir Anthony Hopkins), and an Oxford professor (Laura Haddock).
There comes a moment in everyone’s life that has the potential to make a real difference. Transformers 5: The Last Knight focuses on extraordinary characters emerging in a world where heroes and villains are hunted, capable of changing everything. Only one world will stand: either that of the Transformers or ours…
