There are 8 theatrically released live‑action Transformers movies as of early 2026.

Quick Scoop: How Many Transformer Movies Are There?

If you’re talking about the big live‑action films tied to the modern franchise (the ones you see in cinemas, not all the animated specials), here’s the lineup:

  1. Transformers (2007)
  1. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)
  1. Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011)
  1. Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014)
  1. Transformers: The Last Knight (2017)
  1. Bumblebee (2018)
  1. Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (2023)
  1. Transformers One (2024, animated prequel released theatrically and counted as part of the film series)

So:

  • If you mean the core Bay‑style live‑action saga + spin‑offs in cinemas: 8 movies total.
  • If you include every animated movie, TV special, etc., fans sometimes talk about “around ten or more,” but that depends on what you count (for example, things like Predacons Rising and various animated films).

Mini note on “why the number varies”

On forums, people often give different answers because:

  • Some only count the 5 Michael Bay movies.
  • Others add Bumblebee and Rise of the Beasts.
  • Others also fold in animated theatrical and TV movies.

But if your question is the classic: “How many Transformer movies are there?” and you mean the current theatrical film series most people refer to, the clear up‑to‑date answer is 8.
