Transformers: One Just Made History For The Franchise, So Are We Getting A Sequel?

As a seasoned gamer and Transformers enthusiast who has been through every high and low of this iconic franchise since the 80s, I must say that “Transformers One” has truly outdone itself. This movie is not just a game-changer for the series; it’s like finding the perfect cheat code after years of frustration!


The first Transformers movie, or “Transformers One,” is the ninth film in the series to be released since its debut in the 1980s. Over these years, audiences have witnessed every conceivable type of Transformers film. This franchise has amassed billions in earnings, indicating a large audience for these movies. Despite this success, critics and fans have rarely agreed on the quality of a Transformers film – until now. The latest release is significant as it seems to have won over both groups, raising questions about a potential sequel.

As a die-hard Transformers fan, I’ve noticed that there’s often a divide between critics and fellow fans when it comes to high-profile releases like the live-action Transformers movies. While we may not have given these films top marks for quality, our wallets certainly speak louder than words – the box office numbers show that we’ve been enjoying them nonetheless.

Thanks to the widely acclaimed “Transformers One,” a significant achievement has occurred. This is the first time that any film from this franchise has simultaneously earned the distinction of being “Certified Fresh” by film critics and receiving the same level of appreciation from viewers on Rotten Tomatoes, also known as being “Verified Hot.

Lately, Rotten Tomatoes introduced the Popcornmeter, a rating system similar to the Tomatometer for critics but by fans. The “Verified Hot” label is fresh, and any movie fitting the criteria has been given this title retroactively. However, only the film Rise of the Beasts fulfills the fan requirement as “hot,” with The Transformers: The Movie (original animated version) coming close. Previously, only Bumblebee was deemed fresh by critics. It’s quite remarkable that T One has managed to gain approval from everyone.

The future of the live-action segment of the Transformers action series remains uncertain. Yet, with such overwhelmingly positive reception towards Transformers One, one can’t help but ponder if this could mark the beginning of a brand-new series for these disguised robots. Given the widespread acclaim, a sequel seems like a distinct possibility.

Indeed, whether a sequel will be made is more likely to hinge on financial success rather than critical acclaim. Although Josh Cooley’s movie has garnered much praise from viewers, it doesn’t necessarily mean the film brought in large sums this weekend. Intriguingly, even Transformers One didn’t top the box office during its opening weekend, as it trailed slightly behind Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, which was already in its third week of release.

While it’s uncommon for a film today to significantly boost its box office earnings solely through word of mouth, it’s possible – especially for the animated movie starring Chris Hemsworth and Brian Tyree Henry. If this film maintains strong, if not spectacular performances over several weeks, it could accumulate substantial earnings in total. This might increase the chances of a sequel being produced.

Frankly speaking, it would be quite disheartening if a film, which has garnered such high acclaim and set new records for its franchise, doesn’t get a sequel, especially when there seems to be an opportunity for one. If you’re hoping for a follow-up, encourage the people around you to catch Transformers One in cinemas immediately. Additionally, keep yourself informed about other films scheduled for release in 2024.
