New Transformers Film Reboots Franchise and Provides Optimus Prime Character Arc

The new Transformers film "Rise of the Beasts" takes place after "Bumblebee" but before the 2007 "Transformers" film.
In "Rise of the Beasts," Optimus Prime begins as indifferent to humanity but comes to realize they must work together.
Optimus Prime and the human character Noah have the largest character arcs in the film.
If a sequel is made, Optimus Prime will likely return to a more familiar heroic role protecting all life.
While it's unclear if "Rise of the Beasts" fully reboots or is a prequel, it aims to revitalize the franchise after the poorly received "Transformers: The Last Knight."
