Congratulations To Garry Chalk

Garry Chalk, the voice of Optimus Prime in Transformers: Beast Wars and just a long acting career in too many things to list, announced good news. In video below he is reporting that after 12 rounds of treatment for Stage 4 Hodgkin's Lymphoma, he is doing much better that than was doing around Christmas time last year. "His next PET scan is scheduled for July, which will, hopefully, officially put him into remission."

Paramount Passing on Transformers One Sequel

Transformers One director Josh Cooley confirmed during his Botcon 2025 panel on Saturday that Paramount Pictures has "no interest" in a sequel to Transformers One. This has not been officially confirmed by Paramount. 

Between the last three Transformers films significantly underperforming, combined with the Paramount and Skydance merger being placed in political limbo for revenge purposes, the result is a studio under significant financial strain. Add to that, Hasbro has stopped all co-production agreements which means they will not pay half the cost of producing any future movies related to their properties which was driven by revenue drop in Transformers movies and toys with company wide year over year declining toy sales hampering their bottom line even further. That co-production agreement was key to the filming being made as it shared the risk.

Again none of this is official but all signs indicate that the Transformers movie franchise is parked for the foreseeable future. The Transformers/G.I. Joe movie is probably permanently shelved. As of right now the only thing movie or television related coming for this franchise is Transformers: Cyberverse YouTube shorts that will start July 12.

Transformers: Cyberworld Trailer, Release Date

Transformers: Cyberworld has been given a release date of July 12. The new CGI series will be around five minute each for a total of 36 episodes. Unlike previous series, this one will not be on network television but released on the Transformers YouTube channel. The series is aimed at young kids but likely as with most Transformers animated series, it can be all ages.

It isn't clear what the exact release schedule will be of the series. The channel is worth checking out for long time fans. It has full seasons of Transformers: Energon, Robots in Disguise, Cyberverse, Prime, Beast Wars, Animated and more. Yep, there are toys to be purchases to go with this series.
