The Tradition of Killing Off Transformers in Movies Continues with Rise of the Beasts

The Transformers franchise has a complicated relationship with death, with characters often being killed off and then revived later. The latest movie, Rise of the Beasts, attempts to wring pathos out of multiple Autobot and Maximal deaths, but it's hard to take them seriously when the characters are living machines that can be repaired or revived. The key to making death work in the franchise is establishing rules and sticking to them, as seen in the memorable death of Dinobot in the mid-'90s Beast Wars series.

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts promises epic battles and new villains.

The latest trailer for Transformers: Rise of the Beasts suggests that Paramount may have found a way to address the franchise's human problem. The movie features at least two human protagonists, but a shot from the trailer implies that one of them, Noah, might be in control of Bumblebee. This could be achieved through an updated exosuit, similar to the one worn by Daniel Witwicky in the original Transformers animated series. While this may not address why Noah would follow the Autobots into a war he could die in, it would make his partnership with the Transformers more sensible and serve as fan service. The movie is set to release on June 9th.
