The saga has grossed more than five billion dollars worldwide across seven live-action feature films, a real profit engine for Paramount and Hasbro. After the success of Bay's blockbusters, the series struggled to find its breath with Bumblebee, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts and even the animation Transformers: One (Transformers One). The crossover project Transformers x G.I. Joe now appears to be abandoned, and as Paramount finalizes its acquisition of Warner, the studio is betting on the Bay-Spielberg tandem.
