Where to stream Michael Bay movies: the full list
The list follows the films marked “Director” on Bay’s Rotten Tomatoes filmography. Rotten Tomatoes also lists Robopocalypse (2021) and We Are Storror (2025) under his directing credit, but neither had a release date on Rotten Tomatoes by the check date, so they are left out. Years are the ones Rotten Tomatoes gives. Live-TV bundles, cable-login apps and disc sellers are excluded; “Rent or buy” lists the main digital stores.

Where the Transformers movies stream
The five Transformers films are the biggest block in his filmography, and on October 12, 2026, no single subscription carried all of them. By JustWatch’s runtimes, the five add up to about 13 hours. Rotten Tomatoes credits him as a producer, not director, on the later Bumblebee, Transformers One and Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, so those are not in this guide.
Transformers, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Transformers: Dark of the Moon and Transformers: Age of Extinction stream on Paramount+ and Starz (and free with ads on Hoopla and Kanopy); Transformers: The Last Knight streams on MGM+ and Prime Video.
Which service has the most Bay films?

The hard-to-find ones
Nothing here is truly hard to find: every film could at least be streamed, rented or bought on October 12, 2026. One had no subscription or free home, so renting or buying was the only way to watch it: Armageddon. And 6 Underground had no digital rental or purchase listing, so a subscription to Netflix was the only way to stream it.
Running times and repeat casting
By JustWatch’s runtimes, six of the 15 films run two and a half hours or longer, the longest is Pearl Harbor at 3 hr 3 min, and the shortest is Bad Boys at 1 hr 58 min. Watching all 15 back to back would take about 36 hours.
Several names repeat among the top-billed actors JustWatch lists: Peter Cullen in four (Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Transformers: Dark of the Moon, Transformers: Age of Extinction and Transformers: The Last Knight); Mark Wahlberg in three (Pain & Gain, Transformers: Age of Extinction and Transformers: The Last Knight); Shia LaBeouf in three (Transformers, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and Transformers: Dark of the Moon); Ben Affleck in two (Armageddon and Pearl Harbor); Martin Lawrence in two (Bad Boys and Bad Boys II); Megan Fox in two (Transformers and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen); Will Smith in two (Bad Boys and Bad Boys II). Rotten Tomatoes also credits Bay as a producer or executive producer on 6 of the films he directed, starting with Pain & Gain in 2013.
For a first pass, Bad Boys, The Rock, Armageddon and Transformers cover his best-known work. We have written about his action movies before Transformers and how Sean Connery and Nicolas Cage make The Rock work, and our Transformers watch-order guide covers the whole franchise.
