When the Transformers brand was reimagined in the mid-1990s as Beast Wars, entirely new insignia were created for the new heroic and villainous factions, the Maximals and Predacons, though these were not based on any specific toy or design rather, they reflected the mammalian and insectoid memberships of these factions. Though replacements for the Autobot and Decepticon insignia were introduced for Transformers: Generation 2, with the G2 Autobot symbol being based on the face of Optimus Prime, they failed to catch on. In 2007, the Autobot and Decepticon insignia were redesigned to fit the tone of the new movie. This version of the insignia remained otherwise unused for decades, but eventually saw a return as part of the Masterpiece toyline's move towards ever-more-painstaking animation accuracy, starting with MP-29 Destron Laserwave. This resulted in an odd curiosity of the original cartoon's designs as the designers were evidently working off these renderings rather than a flat image, the beveled detail at the top of the Decepticon symbol's crest was misinterpreted as a third spike on said crest, resulting in a disparity between the cartoon insignia and other appearances of the Decepticon badge.

The new logo seems to indicate the connection between the Autobots and Maximals will be made more explicit, something that was explored in the recent final part of the Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy, Kingdom, which coincided with Beast Wars's 25th anniversary.

It's not yet clear how the characters will be integrated into the story, but it will likely deviate considerably from the Beast Wars TV series that introduced the Maximals and Predacons to the Transformers lore. Three Maximals were confirmed for Rise of the Beasts, Optimus Primal, Rhinox, and Airazor.
Back in June, Paramount and Hasbro announced that the next Transformers movie, arriving summer 2022, will see the live-action debut of the Maximals.
