Does Transformers: Rise of the Beasts see reference to the previous Transformers films? Caple says yes!

 

It’s a dream for all Transformers fans to see an amalgamation of the old and new characters. The seventh film of the franchise - Transformers Rise of the Beasts – is that dream come true! Director Steven Caple Jr. confirms including several fun Easter eggs and sly visual nods throughout the movie. Moving the Transformers saga beyond the eternal battle between Autobots and Decepticons was his goal on Transformers: Rise of the Beasts! 

Director Steven Caple Jr. said, “We have the Beasts interacting with the Autobots for the first time in live action, and the story takes place in the mid ’90s, when the series actually aired, which is very different. There are definitely some homages to The Transformers: The Movie in this. We’ve got the OG voice actor Peter Cullen doing the voice of Optimus Prime, of course, but we also have Prime’s original look from the cartoons, and we’ve never really seen Arcee in a live action movie to this extent.”, 

“We’re branching out in this movie, while still paying homage to the past, so I think fans will appreciate where we’re going. It’s such a big universe, and now every time I watch the old animated series, I think to myself, how can we bring that into the live-action films?”, adds the director. 

And guess who gave the best ideas? Pete Davidson! 

“Pete brought a lot of unique ideas to the table. He came up with the idea of paying homage to the era by adding a lot of funny ’90s references, like Jim Carrey in The Mask, and some Adam Sandler characters. So we played with that throughout his recordings.”, Caple says.

Returning with the action and spectacle that’s captured moviegoers around the world, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts will take audiences on a ‘90s globetrotting adventure with the Autobots and introduce a whole new faction of Transformers – the Maximals – joining them as allies in the epic battle for earth. Directed by Steven Caple Jr. and starring Anthony Ramos and Dominique Fishback, the film arrives in theatres June 9, 2023, in English, Hindi, Tamil & Telugu in 2D, 3D, 4D and IMAX.
