Transformers 7officially has a title!
On Tuesday, Paramount Pictures revealed the next installment in the franchise will be titledRise of the Beasts. The action film will focus on animal transformers called Maximals and Predacons.
Rise of the Beastswill be set in 1994, continuing the timeline after 2018’s ’80s-set spinoffBumblebee. The new movie takes place in Brooklyn, New York — where both Ramos and Fishback are from — and will also travel to Peru. Director Caple said during Tuesday’s press event that the Peru government is even working with them to open up historic Machu Picchu for the film.
The official logline of the movie saysRise of the Beasts"will take audiences on a ’90s globetrotting adventure and introduce the Maximals, Predacons, and Terrorcons to the existing battle on earth between Autobots and Decepticons."
When Ramos, 29, found out his childhood-favorite robots were making an appearance, he got more than a little excited.
Ramos and Fishback couldn’t talk much about the plot, but Ramos did hint that the animal robots and another plot point in the movie “literally almost took” him out. “I was like, no one’s ever seen that in aTransformersmovie,” he said. “I read the script and almost threw it across the room.”
