So, it makes sense that the animated feature will be set many years ago.
Bonaventura explained thatthe animated film is set"like 300 million years before the first Michael Bay movie.
But, the 300 million years before the placement of the live-action movies in the timeline is still noteworthy.
Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura disclosed the fact while speaking to the audience.
It’s unclear if the switch was purposeful for that reason or if di Bonaventura simply misspoke previously.
Either way,Transformers Onedoes not take place 3 billion years before the live-action moviesas previously stated.

This is a smart move for the animated movie considering how complicated andconvoluted theTransformersmovie timelinehas become over the years.
Michael Bay’s five movies exist within a single continuity, butBumblebeerebooted the universe through its prequel setting.
There is now a clean break for theTransformerstimeline when it comes toTransformers One’s universe.
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.
