There’s been speculation that the Transformers franchise is gearing up for its most ambitious entry yet with Transformers 8: Rise of Unicron.

This installment could pit humanity and Autobots against their most formidable adversary—Unicron, the colossal, planet-devouring enтιтy teased at the end of Transformers: Rise of the Beasts. If rumors are true, Rise of Unicron will continue the narrative threads left dangling from the seventh installment.

As Optimus Prime and his team of Autobots forge a fragile alliance with humanity and the Maximals, the emergence of Unicron threatens not just Earth but the entire galaxy. The storyline is expected to explore the origins of the Transformers’ conflict, uncovering ancient secrets and the true purpose of Cybertron’s existence.

Peter Cullen is rumored to return as the iconic voice of Optimus Prime, alongside Anthony Ramos and Dominique Fishback reprising their roles from Rise of the Beasts. Additionally, there’s speculation that fan-favorite Bumblebee will play a central role, with his newly restored voice becoming a key element in rallying allies.
