There were a lot of reasons that Transformers fans were excited for Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, as the film not only brought to life a number of beloved characters from the franchise, but the adventure itself delivered multiple thrilling sequences. One sequence, in particular, delivered our heroes and villains going head to head on a deadly road in the mountains of Peru, which also featured the figures transforming back and forth between their various incarnations in the heat of the battle.
