It was a throwback to the old-school 80s cartoon and the original hard sci-fi approach to the franchise.
With mostly positive reviews from critics and a relatively modest budget behind it, it shouldve been a hit.
But it ended up being the latest in a long line ofbox office disappointments for theTransformersmovie franchise.
It brought in around $19 million less than its predecessor for a worldwide total of $1,104,054,072.
The franchise really started to go downhill with its next installment,2017sThe Last Knight, which grossed $602,893,340.

In the case ofTransformers,franchise fatigue might actually be the case.
WithTransformers One,theTransformersfranchise was essentially going after a whole new audiencethan before.
Joecrossover is definitely happening, soit wont stop the franchise dead.
Transformers One is an animated action-adventure movie that marks the first animated feature-length film for the series in decades. The film will be a prequel to the franchise, and will tell the story of Optimus Prime and Megatron in their early years, how they met, and a closer look at the war on their home planet, Cybertron.
But it could cause Paramount to rethink its plans for the series future.
