The 6th film in the series and the first that was not directed by Michael Bay. This film was directed by Travis Knight and stars Hailee Steinfeld & John Cena. The voice includes Angela Bassett, Justin Theroux & Dylan O’Brien. Peter Cullen returns once again as “Optimus Prime”. This film serves as both a reboot of the franchise but the storyline itself takes place prior to the first film, making it a prequel. In 1987, the Autobot known as “Bumblebee”, crashes on Earth after escaping the war on Cybertron. During a fight with a Decepticon, Bumblebee loses his voice and memory. A young teenage girl buys an old Volkswagen Bettle from a junk yard that turns out to be Bumblebee. While Bee and this girl begin a new friendship, 2 renegade Decepticons, arrive on Earth in a search of Bee and any other Autobots. Although this film was the lowest grossing film in the series, it was a hit with the audience and critics. It was the first film since the first one in 2007 to be a hit both financially and critically.
