Netflix has released the first trailer for Transformers: War for Cybertron: Kingdom, the third and final chapter in the War for Cybertron trilogy that hails from the streamer, Hasbro, and Rooster Teeth — and Collider is exclusively revealing the trailer today. The all-new original series offers a strikingly different animation style that depicts the Transformers like never before, and takes us deep into events at the heart of a long-beloved franchise.

During a virtual Investor event this past week, Hasbro outlined future projected growth and entertainment projects, including an outline of upcoming Transformers projects. Of note are a number of animated projects in development and a new feature film. These include:

• Feature film in partnership with Paramount slated for summer 2022.
• New animated full-length feature film in development.
• The first two chapters of the fan-based animated trilogy TRANSFORMERS: WAR FOR CYBERTRON have successfully launched on Netflix, with the third installment to be released July 2021.
• Transformers: BotBots, a new 20-episode animated comedy series at Netflix.
• Partnering with Nickelodeon to co-produce an original animated Transformers series (26 half-hour episodes) to premiere exclusively on Nickelodeon in the U.S. before rolling out internationally.

Two different entertainment websites are reporting that both a new animated Transformers movie and a live-action Transformers movie are in development.

From the Hollywood Reporter:

An untitled Transformers film and The Trial of the Chicago 7 have been given release dates, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. 

The latest installment in the sci-fi action film franchise, the untitled Transformers movie will receive a wide release on June 24, 2022.

Paramount currently has multiple Transformers projects in the works: Joby Harold (Army of the Dead) and James Vanderbilt (Zodiac) have been tapped to write separate scripts in the story universe, while the studio is also moving forward with an animated prequel directed by Josh Cooley (Toy Story 4), with a script co-written by Andrew Barrer and Gabriel Ferrari (the Ant-Man franchise).

Meanwhile Deadline reports that one of the projects in development may be based off of Beast Wars:

Paramount has given a date for a new live-action Transformers movie of June 24, 2022.

The studio is in development on two different projects: one by Murder Mystery scribe James Vanderbilt and the other by John Wick Chapter 3 EP and Army of the Dead scribe Joby Harold. The Vanderbilt project, from what we’ve heard, is based on Transformers spinoff Beast Wars which are robots that transform into robotic animals like Cheetor (Cheetah), Optimus Primal (Gorilla), Rhinox (Rhinoceros) and more. The other is reportedly in the Bumblebee universe. It’s not definite yet which one will make it to production.

The trailer for the Netflix original anime series, Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy: Siege made its debut yesterday at the New York Toy Fair, and it promises to showcase a new side of the war between the Autobots and the Decepticons.

The trailer is set during the midpoint of the War for Cybertron, and things are not looking good for the Autobots, who are trying to prevent Megatron from finding the AllSpark.

Developed by Rooster Teeth Studios, Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy: Siege will premiere later this year on Netflix. The series features the voice talents of Jake Foushee as Optimus Prime, Jason Marnocha as Megatron, Linsay Rousseau as Elita-1, Joe Zieja as Bumblebee, Frank Todaro as Starscream, Rafael Goldstein as Ratchet, Keith Silverstein as Jetfire, Todd Haberkorn as Shockwave & Red Alert , Edward Bosco as Ultra Magnus & Soundwave, Bill Rogers as Wheeljack, Sophia Isabella as Arcee, Brook Chalmers as Impactor, Shawn Hawkins as Mirage, Kaiser Johnson as Ironhide, Miles Luna as Teletraan I & Cliffjumper, and Mark Whitten as Sideswipe & Skywarp.
