Transformers One Director Has a Whole Trilogy in Mind

As a die-hard Transformers fan who has grown up with the franchise, I can confidently say that “Transformers One” is a breath of fresh air. It’s not just another installment; it’s a new beginning that promises a thrilling journey for both old and new fans alike. The film takes us back to the roots of the Autobots and Decepticons, giving us a fresh perspective on their origin story.


Transformers One kicks off a fresh, revamped origin tale for the Autobots and Decepticons, and the film’s director hints at a possible series of three movies in the pipeline. The initial installment, Transformers One, has been a significant milestone for the franchise as it has garnered praise from critics and fans alike, making it one of the most popular releases in years. This film delves into the past, showing events before the Autobots and Decepticons clashed over Cybertron, concluding with a hint that the impending war is near.

The first Transformers movie concludes with familiar versions of Optimus Prime and Megatron, leaving fans anticipating more. In an interview with The Wrap about a possible sequel for the film, director Josh Cooley suggests there could be further installments, hinting at potential new chapters in the Autobots and Decepticons saga. Cooley seems open to continuing the story, implying we might witness fresh interpretations of their classic conflict in future projects.

Will Transformers One Get a Trilogy?

Cooley shared, “Typically, we encounter tales where the story starts after the planet is dying, and they flee to Earth, leading to a war once they split up and depart from the planet.” He added, “This leaves a lot of untold narrative, and it could be quite exciting.” In Transformers One, Orion Pax and D-16 were presented in an original way before transforming into Optimus Prime and Megatron as we know them. By the end of the movie, the Autobots managed to seize control of Cybertron.

The narrative appeared poised for an exciting continuation, as the tale Cooley mentioned has only begun. Optimus and Megatron are yet to engage in their epic battle for Cybertron, which will ultimately lead us to the initial scenes of the original story where they flee from the devastated Cybertron and eventually arrive on Earth. This is a story that fans have experienced in various forms over the years, and it seems we’ll get to witness it again through these upcoming films as new chapters unfold.

Is Transformers One A Success?

If the Transformers film proves successful at the box office, Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura hinted that they have plans to continue the series with future installments that will emphasize character development. He shared, “If this movie succeeds, we’ll make a sequel, and we already have the foundation for an engaging story for the second one as well, which continues the character-driven approach of the first film.

The first Transformers movie has been praised by both critics and viewers on Rotten Tomatoes, making history within the franchise as both parties generally agreed on its quality. If its box office performance mirrors this positive reception, it won’t be long before we know if there are plans for more movies. For now, there seems to be a potential storyline for future films based on what has been hinted.
