(NASDAQ: VIACA, VIAC) (“ViacomCBS”) today announced a leadership change at Paramount Pictures. ViacomCBS Announces Leadership Transition at Paramount Pictures Here is the entire press release for those who want all the details. Would the films be Paramount+ exclusive? Would Hasbro simply cut ties since they have their own studio (EOne) now? We'll see. While this will definitely cause some changes in the Transformers film releases going forward, it's unsure in which way. Nevins and Clemens will also continue to serve in their current Paramount+ roles of Chief Content Officer, Scripted Originals, and President of Original Scripted Series, respectively. Robbins will assume oversight of films produced for Paramount+ as well as continue to be responsible for kids and family content globally for the streaming service.

We'll see, but this is bound to be interesting. And as we had seen in previous toylines for films, like Godzilla vs Kong, Black Widow, ect, the fact that the toys were already in the pipeline meant they were released anyway. You can see the whole list of toys here (they are in spoiler free code names). And the Rise of the Beast toys are already ordered by retailers like Target, which have the toys already in their system, for a 2022 release date. What makes this more interesting than possibly any other film delay is that more than any live action franchise, the Transformers franchise always has a major toyline assigned to it, often taking up entire retailer areas, as can be seen below. Instead of coming out in June 2022, it will instead be released in June 2023, the 9th to be exact. We know from Deadline that Paramount has pushed back the release of Transformers 7: Rise of the Beasts by a whole year.
