Does ‘Transformers One’ Have A Post-Credits Scene? Why You Should Stay In Your Seats

Transformers One is premiering on Friday, September 20. If you’re heading to the theaters, you might be wondering whether Transformers One has a post-credits scene. Read on to find out whether it’s worth staying in your seat as the credits roll.

Transformers One, the first fully CG-animated Transformers movie, explores the untold origin story of Optimus Prime and Megatron. While they’re best known as fierce enemies, they were once close friends—like brothers—who ultimately changed the fate of Cybertron, according to the film’s official synopsis. The movie serves as one of the highest-testing Paramount Animation titles ever.

The film features a star-studded voice cast with Chris Hemsworth, Brian Tyree Henry, Scarlett Johansson, Keegan-Michael Key, Steve Buscemi, Laurence Fishburne, and Jon Hamm. Transformers One is directed by Josh Cooley (Inside Out, Toy Story 4) and produced by franchise veteran Lorenzo di Bonaventura.

Hemsworth, the voice of Optimus Prime, revealed to ScreenRant what excited him most about exploring Optimus’ early days with Orion. “Well, the Optimus that we’ve known previously in the cartoons, in the films, has this consistent, eternal blind optimism and an incredible sense of hope,” the actor explained. “What interested me was the fact that we get to see where that comes from.”

Transformers One has a confirmed run-time of one hour and 51 minutes. Since you’ll be in the theater for nearly two hours, you might be curious whether it’s worth sticking around for a mid-credits or end-credits scene that teases another project. Here’s what you need to know.

Does Transformers One Have An End-Credits Scene?

Yes, Transformers One includes multiple post-credit scenes that are worth watching. Without giving away spoilers, there’sa mid-credits scene appears after the initial credits, followed by an important end-credits scene at the very end.

The mid-credits scene is a fun addition, while the end-credits scene is a must-see because it might have consequences for the franchise’s future, according to SlashFilm. This isn’t surprising, as Paramount Pictures is already planning a Transformers/G.I. Joe crossover movie, with Hemsworth in talks to reprise his role, Deadline previously reported.

Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura also recently confirmed to ScreenRant that there are already plans for a Transformers One prequel. “Number one, if we’re successful with this movie, we’re going to do a sequel for this,” he teased to the site. “And we already have, I think, the beginnings of a really interesting story for the second one, which is also character-based, the way the first [is].”

The likelihood of a sequel will depend on Transformers One's box office performance. Currently, the film is aiming for an opening weekend of $30 million to $40 million. So far, the animated feature has received favorable reviews and boasts a 89% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
