Updated: Jun 23, 2023

Blog and Video Description: In this episode of the Mattacritic, I will be reviewing and analyzing Transformers: Rise of the Beasts that is done by Paramount studios in association with Hasbro. The movie will start with the Maximals explaining how there is a god called Unicorn who is a very vengeful god and wants nothing more than to destroy other planets because he needs the life force from planets to function.

Spoiler Warning: This review may contain spoilers. If you do not want to be spoiled, please stop here, if you do not care, please continue. Thank you.

The movie will deal with Unicorn and Scrouge is his servant who is devoted to him. This was true in 1986 Transformers: The Movie that had Scrouge as one of his minions, but Galvatron was one of them as well. They did not decide to make Galvatron the one who was leading Unicorn’s minions. They went with Scrouge instead. What the Terri cons will be looking for is a key. The key is the key for Unicorn to be able to go wherever he wants and do what he wants. Unicorn needs the key so that he can feast on any planet that he desires. The maximals will not let that happen.

The movie will take the viewer to 1994 where the transformers known as the Autobots are looking for the key. Noah is one of the human characters who is looking to help his brother Chris who has sickle cell anemia. This means it can cause pain in your hands and it can make it hard for him to function. Chris is wearing a Mighty Morphin Power Rangers shirt which makes sense since that is the time that show came out. I watched Mighty Morphin Power Rangers when I was 13 and by the time this movie was set, I would have been 14 years old depending upon the time of year it was. My birthday is in October, and I would have turned 15 that year.

The Power Rangers robot Megazord could transform into a big robot like you would see in Transformers like you would see with Devastor, Bruticus, or Menasor which are the Decepticons’ combining robots. The Autobots’ combining robots were Supereon, Defensor, and Computer ion.

The movie will deal with the Autobots looking for the key as they need the key to get back home. The key can travel through time and space. It can do that. It is like a space bridge. A space bridge is not an uncommon thing in transformers. It is in the original cartoon, and they mentioned in the second and third movies of the Transformers franchise.

Noah will try to steal Mirage and find out that Mirage is not what he thinks. He is a car that transform which is a robot. Mirage could be angry with him, but as it is shown in this movie; Mirage is finally glad to be doing something besides staying still and hidden. Optimus Prime thinks that Mirage made a mistake. No, he does not as Noah stole him so that he can get money to help his brother Chris. Arcee tells Optimus that he was a soldier. Optimus says, “He is a soldier. He does not look like a solider.”

Mirage tells Optimus that we need Noah’s help. He can help us to get what we need in terms of getting the key for us. Optimus is not sure of this, but Mirage tells him, it makes sense. It does, the Autobots cannot simply go and just get the key without getting noticed.

The key will not be simple to get as the Terri cons are looking for it. Scrouge who leads the Terri cons will help Unicorn to get the key he is looking for. Scrouge will fight Optimus Prime and Optimus will wonder what this is. Scrouge lets Optimus know this is not an easy fight. Scrouge wants to help his master feed. This is no different than Gal actus having the Silver Surfer finding worlds to feed on and his service protects his world.

The adventure will lead the autobots to Peru. Mirage will have Noah with Elena who is the smart archaeologist who knows where it is. She knows how to read symbols that were left where the key is hidden. As Air Razer tells the autobots and the two humans to go to help them, the key was split into two to be sure it would not fall into the hands of Unicorn.

The movie will continue with the autobots on the quest to find the key as well as Scrouge and the Terri cons. It will not show the viewer that they must trust humans and in return humans must learn to trust them.

It will lead to an epic battle in the quest for the key as well as in trying to defeat Unicorn. As not to be revealed, nothing more will be revealed here. It does bring the viewer to the climax of the movie and set up another film in the franchise.

I will give you my rating, I give Transformers: The Rise of the beasts, a 9 out of 10. It was fun, but it tells a particularly delightful story. It helped to show the viewer how dangerous Unicorn is and was faithful to what was done in the original cartoons. It had Optimus Primal who is an ape and that is what he transforms into. It was the one that is the cat. The movie does a better job with bringing the beasts who were part of the Beast Wars. The show fell short that they did back in 1990’s, but this movie does better with this. It shows that Optimus Prime did not always trust humans but learns too. Bumble Bee told Optimus Prime that a human helped him, and that human was Charlie who was played by Hailee Steinfeld. This movie was good that the humans that helped the autobots and the maximals were a Latino and the black female. It would have been great if they had Unicorn transform, but it does not take away in how good the story was in this movie compared to the other films in the Transformers franchise. What rating do you give the film? Please use a 10 out of 10 rating. Please leave your rating in the comment section below. Thank you.
