Earlier today at Toy Fair 2018's Hasbro Investor Preview, Paramount announced that the Transformers live-action cinematic universe that's been under Michael Bay for the last decade is over, and will conclude with the Bumblebee movie coming out later this year. All other planned films have been scrapped, and a new rebooted series will take it's place. Hasbro will have much greater control of upcoming films.

I think the Transformers fad is over and a reboot isn't gonna save it. Never got the appeal of this franchise.

Good. Only one good film, the rest were just an excuse to stuff popcorn in my face.

Yeah July 2007.

I've been a fan of Transformers for 31 years, and I'm happy to see something new for the live action films after the mess we've been getting all this time.

So the series will just be a vector to sell toys?

Hey, if it worked for Star Wars! Market oversaturation isn't a thing..right? RIGHT?

I mean....moreso than it already was. The recent movies were kind of toned down compared to the original cartoon in that regard.

4 is better than 5, but they all have issues. The most recent really started to throw all continuity out the window. More unneeded characters. Several Transformers show up for a few seconds. Dinobots barely get a showing after their brief debut the film prior. Then they go and mix in 5th century lore with King Arthur's court, and the wizard Merlin. It got really bad.
