Transformers One Streaming Release Date

Transformers One will eventually be released on Paramount+, rather than Netflix or Disney+.

Paramount has yet to announce a streaming date for Transformers One. However, over the past two years, Paramount has brought its movies to its streaming platform 45-60 days after their theatrical debuts (except for the box-office hit Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One). Should Paramount stick with that cadence, you can expect Transformers One to hit Parmount+ in November.

What Is Transformers One About?

Transformers One is an animated origin story for two of the franchise’s biggest characters. Here’s the official synopsis from Parmamount:

Transformers One is the untold origin story of Optimus Prime and Megatron, better known as sworn enemies, but once were friends bonded like brothers who changed the fate of Cybertron forever.
