Paramount Pictures has been responsible for distributing the series, while DreamWorks Pictures collaborated on the first two films. The live-action Transformers movies have received a range of reviews, from negative to mixed, with Bumblebee standing out as a film that garnered positive feedback. Despite critical reception, the franchise has been a commercial success, ranking as the 14th-highest-grossing film series with a total box office revenue of $4.8 billion. Notably, Dark of the Moon and Age of Extinction each crossed the $1 billion mark in global box office earnings.

The visual effects in the Transformers series are a crucial component of bringing the giant transforming robots to life. The VFX work for the films involves prominent studios such as MPC (Moving Picture Company) and Weta FX. Carlos Caballero Valdés and Axel Bonami serve as VFX Supervisors from MPC, while Weta FX contributes to the visual effects work as well.

Overseeing the entire visual effects production is Gary Brozenich, who holds the position of Production VFX Supervisor. His expertise and guidance ensure that the awe-inspiring visual effects seamlessly integrate with the live-action elements, enhancing the cinematic experience for audiences worldwide.

The Transformers film series continues to captivate audiences with its high-octane action, cutting-edge visual effects, and the timeless appeal of the beloved Transformers franchise.
