Is Transformers: Rise of the Beasts a direct sequel to the 2007 Transformers movie?

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts is a distinct entry in the franchise.

While Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen focuses on the conflict between established factions, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts specifically highlights the team-up between the Autobots and the Maximals to stop a new threat to the planet.

What is the main conflict in Transformers: Rise of the Beasts?

In Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, the primary conflict involves a new threat capable of destroying the entire planet. Optimus Prime and the Autobots must form an alliance with the Maximals, while human characters Noah and Elena assist them to ensure the survival of humanity.
