Transformers: Rise of Unicron (2026)
Transformers 8: Rise of Unicron marks the most epic chapter in the franchise’s history, catapulting the Autobots and Decepticons into a cosmic-scale conflict as the ancient god of chaos—Unicron—awakens from the depths of the universe. With Earth’s very core revealed to be the dormant shell of this planet-sized destroyer, Optimus Prime (voiced by Peter Cullen) must unite old allies and new warriors for a desperate stand against annihilation.
As interdimensional rifts tear through space and time, familiar faces like Bumblebee, Arcee, and Mirage join forces with the Maximals and a new human tech-specialist (played by Florence Pugh) to unravel Unicron’s origins—and uncover the devastating truth behind Cybertron’s fall. Meanwhile, Megatron returns from exile, torn between conquest and survival as Unicron threatens to consume all life, including his own.
Directed by Travis Knight, Rise of Unicron blends breathtaking VFX, thunderous battles, and emotional stakes, redefining the limits of the franchise. This isn’t just a war for Earth—this is the battle for existence itself.
Transformers: Rise of Unicron, the eighth sequel in the Transformers storyline, is expected to be the most ambitious to date. The movie, which was directed by Steven Caple Jr., who also directed Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, introduces Unicron, one of the most recognizable antagonists in the franchise, while also extending the cinematic universe.
Picking up from Rise of the Beasts, the Autobots, led by Optimus Prime, must confront Unicron, the planet-devouring force teased in the previous film. The story will explore ancient Cybertronian lore, revealing Unicron’s ties to Earth and the Transformer race. Meanwhile, humanity faces its darkest hour, as alliances between Autobots and humans are tested in a desperate struggle to prevent the apocalypse.
Peter Cullen reprises his legendary role as Optimus Prime, while Anthony Ramos returns as Noah Diaz, whose bond with the Autobots deepens. Dominique Fishback also reprises her role, lending the human perspective weight and emotional depth. New cast members include Bill Skarsgård as the voice of Unicron, bringing chilling gravitas to the menacing villain.
