It’s been a while since we had news about the upcoming animated Transformers film. It would be an original new story placed in Cybertron which will revolve around the relationship between Optimus Prime and Megatron. We also had confirmed that Oscar winner Josh Cooley (Toy Story 4) will be on the director’s chair for this project.
Now, we have a possible release timeframe for this movie via some information shared by Allspark Pictures President, Greg Mooradian from his Linkedin account.
•Generated a dozen new properties including:
G.I. JOE: SNAKE EYES, with Robert Schwentke directing (2020 release)

I started to watch Cyberverse, and the actual experience of it was different to the notion of experiencing it from the trailers on Netflix. By this, I mean that the show's elsewhere meta was astounding.
TF Hot Rod
Yes, they're great way better than the WFC trilogy (and I at the time they came out didn't hate them like others).

Is this movie connected to the Bay films?
trokanmariel33
Thanks for informing me. Have you seen them?
TF Hot Rod
Maybe minor details like release date since now ROTB is coming out that year or how it's coming along. I doubt it will happen but I would love for the Cybertron movie to come out this year but I don't think that could happen.
IDK if you know this but they're both out (and on Youtube right now).

I welcome this news. I've only got one more episode of the WFC trilogy left to watch, and was disappointed to hear abut Rise of the Beasts being put off a whole year, so this is indeed welcome news.
I know that the Cyberverse universe is getting two animated movies, both supposed to be around 45 minutes long, so I presume that this 2023 movie has nothing to do with that.

Do you guys think that we’re going to get any news for this movie during toy fair?
octobotimus
Nothing pointing to that atm.
Darth Gonzo
Well that could all change if Hasbro leaves Paramount.
octobotimus
Still vague if it’s a thumbs up for it still happening, or for it coming 2023.

Wait, who's the director?
Nova Maximus
Somewhere in the abyss known as the "Rise of the beasts set photos, leaks, and interviews thread" someone posted a pic from twitter with someone asking the director, and the director replied with the Optimus thumbs up gif.

When was this?
Autobot N
If there was someone would have posted it
Nova Maximus
The director himself said the movie is still going along as scheduled.
Omegashark18
Hopefully we get some news next year.
Out of the three movies we’ve got in the pipeline, this is the one I’m looking forward to the most.
TF Hot Rod
No, it's still coming possibly in 2023 and no way like ROTB is this getting canned since they're already to far to stop and the money has been spent/ or at least most of it.
Q Prime
It's supposedly releasing in 2023. Give it some time.

Any more news on the animated film was it canceled?
