- Start with “Bumblebee” (2018): This film is set in 1987 and serves as a prequel to the entire franchise, so it makes sense to watch it first.
- “Transformers” (2007): This is the first movie in the series and takes place in 2007. It introduces the Autobots and Decepticons and their conflict on Earth.
- “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” (2009): The second movie in the series picks up a couple of years after the events of the first one.
- “Transformers: Dark of the Moon” (2011): The third movie in the series takes place in 2011 and features a major plot point related to the Apollo moon landing.
- “Transformers: Age of Extinction” (2014): The fourth movie in the series takes place five years after the events of “Dark of the Moon” and introduces new characters and plotlines.
- “Transformers: The Last Knight” (2017): The final movie in the series (so far) takes place in 2017 and brings together elements from all of the previous movies.
Note: By following this chronological order, you’ll get a better sense of the overarching story and how the various movies fit together. However, keep in mind that some fans prefer to watch the movies in release order instead, so it’s ultimately up to you to decide which viewing order you prefer.
