| - Transformers: More than Meets the Eye is an action/science fiction fanfilm. Albeit a live-action film, it is different than the official Michael Bay film series. Set on planet Earth, the film tells about the typical battle between Autobots and Decepticons, but this time includes two fans of the Transformers longing to watch a "real-life" Autobot-Decepticon battle.
- The film stars Shia LaBeouf, Josh Duhamel, John Turturro, Tyrese Gibson, Chelsey Reist, Patrick Dempsey, Kevin Dunn, Julie White, John Malkovich and Frances McDormand. The script was written by Mission: Impossible II writers Robert Towne, Ronald D. Moore, and Brannon Braga. More Than Meets The Eye employed both regular 35mm film cameras and specially-developed 3-D cameras, with filming locations in Chicago, Florida, Indiana, Milwaukee, Moscow, and Washington, D.C.. The film was rendered specifically for 3-D, and the visual effects involved more complex robots which took longer to render.

More Than Meets The Eye employed both regular 35mm film cameras and specially-developed 3-D cameras, with filming locations in Chicago, Florida, Indiana, Milwaukee, Moscow, and Washington, D.C.. The film was rendered specifically for 3-D, and the visual effects involved more complex robots which took longer to render. Exclusive early premieres in select 3-D and IMAX theaters took place January 19, 2013, one night before worldwide release in 2-D and 3-D (including IMAX 3D) formats—each featuring Dolby Surround 7.1 sound. Critical reception of the film was mixed with several critics calling it better than Revenge of the Fallen and praising the film's visuals, Ramin Djawadi's musical score, and 3-D action sequences, while others criticizing its writing, acting, and length. But despite the reviews, More Than Meets The Eye grossed US$1.12 billion worldwide, and is currently the 13th-highest-grossing film of all time, the third-highest-grossing film of 2013 (behind Frozen and Iron Man 3), the highest-grossing film in the Transformers series, and the 10th film to gross over $1 billion. Like the 2007 film, it was nominated for Best Sound Editing, Best Sound Mixing, and Best Visual Effects at the 84th Academy Awards. A fourth film Transformers: The Last Knight is set to be released in 2017. A fifth film serving as a Bumblebee spin-off is scheduled for a 2018 release. A sixth film, serving as the sixth main entry Transformers 5 is scheduled for a 2019 release.

The film is also the first in the franchise without the involvement of DreamWorks, leaving the series to be produced solely by Paramount Pictures. The film was directed by D.J. Caruso, produced by Michael Bay and executive produced by Steven Spielberg. This was the last film in the series to be owned by Takara Tomy, as Hasbro assumed ownership of the Transformers films in Japan. This was also the last film in the series to involve the original human characters and last in the series to star Shia LaBeouf, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson, John Turturro, Kevin Dunn, Julie White, Jess Harnell, and Charlie Adler for the first three films. The film's story is set three years after the events of the 2009 film, the Autobots, during their collaboration with the NEST (Nonbiological Extraterrestrial Species Treaty) military force, discovering a hidden alien technology in possession of humans, which had been found by Apollo 11 on the Moon 42 years earlier. However, Transformer bounty hunter Lockdown arrives on Earth to capture Optimus Prime and Megatron for Unicron who wishes to dominate Earth. Shia LaBeouf, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson, John Turturro, Kevin Dunn and Julie White reprised their starring roles, with Peter Cullen and Frank Welker returning as the voices of Optimus Prime and Megatron along with Judy Nelson and Greg Berger as the voices of Hot Rod and Grimlock. Chelsey Reist replaced Megan Fox as the lead female character; the cast also saw the new actors such as the humans; Halle Berry, Goran Visnjic, Pierce Gagnon Ken Jeong, Hiroyuki Sanada, and Frances McDormand and the Transformers; John Hurt, Garry Chalk, Ron Bottitta, John DiMaggio, George Coe, Francesco Quinn, James Remar, and Leonard Nimoy. The script was written by Ehren Kruger, who also collaborated on the narrative of the 2009 film, now collaborating with Robert Towne, Ronald D. Moore and Brannon Braga, the writers of Mission: Impossible II. More Than Meets The Eye employed both regular 35mm film cameras and specially-developed 3-D cameras, with filming locations in Beijing, Chicago, Florida, Indiana, Milwaukee, Moscow, and Washington, D.C.. The film was rendered specifically for 3-D, and the visual effects involved more complex robots which took longer to render. Exclusive early premieres in select 3-D and IMAX theaters took place June 30, 2011, one night before worldwide release in 2-D and 3-D (including IMAX 3D) formats—each featuring Dolby Surround 7.1sound. Critical reception of the film was mostly positive, with several critics criticizing its writing, acting, and length, but calling it better than Revenge of the Fallen and praising the film's visuals, Henry Jackman's musical score, and 3-D action sequences. Greg Berger and Judy Nelson's reprisals as Grimlock and Hot Rod from the 1980s was well received by fans. More Than Meets The Eye grossed US$1.57 billion worldwide, and is currently the ninth-highest-grossing film of all time, the second-highest-grossing film of 2011 (behind Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2), the highest-grossing film in the Transformers series, and the tenth film to gross over $1 billion. Like the 2007 film, it was nominated for Best Sound Editing, Best Sound Mixing, and Best Visual Effects at the 84th Academy Awards. A crossover with the G.I. Joe series, Transformers vs. G.I. Joe, directed by Rob Cohen, was released on July 10 2015.
