“The final planet to consume… is Earth.”

🎬 Coming Summer 2026 | Paramount Pictures

The war between Autobots and Decepticons reaches its cosmic climax in Transformers 8: Rise of Unicron, the most ambitious and apocalyptic installment in the franchise to date. As Earth faces extinction, old alliances fracture, legends return, and a primordial evil awakens from the edge of the universe.

🤖 Plot Summary:

Years after the defeat of Scourge and the events of Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, peace between Autobots and humanity has grown fragile. But deep in the void of space, an ancient force stirs — Unicron, the planet-devouring god, has begun moving toward Earth.

Optimus Prime, still haunted by past sacrifices, is forced to make contact with Cybertron’s forbidden history, learning that Unicron is more than just a destroyer — he is the source of all corruption in the universe. And Earth… is his final meal.

To stop him, the Autobots must join forces with the Maximals, surviving Decepticons, and a secret order of human guardians known only as The Keepers of the Spark. But as Unicron’s Heralds begin arriving through space bridges across the planet, betrayal brews — and one Autobot may turn against the others to survive.
