In April 2023, di Bonaventura stated that there was discussion for Transformers One to become a trilogy of films. By June, he confirmed that the story was mapped out to progress over three movies, detailing the progression of the characters into their depiction in the live-action film series. The producer explained that Hemsworth's depiction of Optimus Prime would grow into the leader depicted in the previous installments, stating that the transition from Hemsworth's voice to Peter Cullen's would make sense within the story. In September 2024, di Bonaventura confirmed that they would make a Transformers One sequel if the film succeeded at the box office, with the filmmakers already devising ideas for a character-driven sequel like its predecessor.
