Paramount Pictures is bringing us back into the world of The Transformers with “Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts”. According to what I’ve read, this film follows the “Beast Wars” storyline and acts as a bit of a sequel to the “Bumblebee” film. So if you’ve never seen the other Transformers films you can safely see this one as its a prequel to the five films most of us know. The first teaser clip is embedded below for your perusal along with the premise and cast. Dig in.
The Premise: Set in 1994 Brooklyn, Noah, an ex-military electronics expert, and Elena, an artifact researcher, are swept up in a three-way conflict between the Maximals, Predacons and Terrorcons as they aid Optimus Prime and the Autobots in a war to protect Earth from Unicron’s arrival.

PiercingMetal Thoughts: Now I don’t usually chime in too much on the teaser trailers since they are the first glimpse of stuff but I will admit that this looks pretty good. I love the fact that the transforming looks better and better as the effects get more detailed in films of this kind. I am a fan of the franchise and the toy line and still have a handful of Transformers figures in a box somewhere. I did enjoy the earlier films but think I missed one now that I think of it. Anyway, this will very likely be on my “see in the theaters” list when June rolls around. What do you readers think about this one? Are you a fan of the Transformers franchise at all? Chime in down below and I will see you again soon. Please keep safe out there.
