Set in the 1990s, *Transformers: Rise of the Beasts* expands the franchise beyond the familiar conflict between Autobots and Decepticons by introducing new factions: the Maximals, Predacons, and Terrorcons. These additions bring a fresh dynamic to the narrative, enriching the interplay between characters and escalating the stakes of the story. The inclusion of these diverse groups not only deepens the lore of the Transformers universe but also opens up new avenues for storytelling, offering audiences a broader and more complex cinematic experience.
