The Transformers 6-Movie SteelBook Collection makes its arrival on 4K Ultra HD days before the next prequel in the franchise.
All six movies in the franchise are being collected together for the first time in 4K Ultra HD. Each film is in a separate SteelBook containing the feature film on the 4K Ultra HD disc and legacy bonus content on Blu-ray. Bumblebee is the only film that appears to be included on both 4K UHD and Blu-ray. All six SteelBooks are inside a magnetic slipcase that also includes a collectible decal and access to Digital copies of each film. A previous 6-movie collection was released on Blu-ray back in 2019. This is a limited edition so time is of the essence. Whether or not Paramount will release a 7-Movie Collection with Transformers: Rise of the Beasts remains to be determined.
As far as quality goes, the first Transformers is fine but then it’s all downhill until Bumblebee salvaged what was left of the franchise at that point. It’s by far the best film in the entire franchise to date. Dark of the Moon brought in the most money at the worldwide box office but financially speaking, it was all downhill from there.
Peter Cullen and Hugo Weaving provide the voices of Optimus Prime and Megatron, respectively. Frank Welker voices Megatron in Age of Extinction and The Last Knight.
