That article is all rumor and speculation.  Theres nothing official there.

Transformers 5 Could be a Spin Off, Won't have Michael Bay, Mark Wahlberg

Some say Mark won't return, others say he's under contract for two more, which sounds about right. I'd love to see Mark back. Couldn't care less for any of the other human characters really. I like the idea of the father fighting to save his daughter, but it's clear the daughter and her boyfriend were only in 4 because "love story".

I've given the series more than enough chances. Unless someone else is directing(and maybe even writing), I have no desire to see it.

I'm with you. Plus, it really needs to be rebooted entirely, just to disassociate itself with those AWFUL, inexcusably overcomplicated, Bayformers designs.

we didn't want the movies going forward to fall into kind of predictable pattern of there are good Autobots and there are bad  Decepticons and there's some issue that they're fighting over and they fight.

That's literally every episode of the series, all they need to add is Transformers standing on opposite sides of a cliff missing each other with lasers.

To be fair, deviating from that formula could have disastrous consequences:

Literally nothing in that article confirmed Michael Bay was coming back.

[Darth Geek]

The last sentance is

And to further bring good news, it is confirmed that Michael Bay will be back to direct the Transformers 5.

yet they don't cite a source. And the source they do quote earlier in the article indicates it's unsure. So basically this article is written about as well as the scripts to the Bayformers movies.

[Darth Geek]

And I would say it's funny that they indicate in the article that they couldn't find a director if it weren't Bay, yet STEVEN SPEILBERG himself has said that they can't make these movies without Bay. And that's not funny, that's just sad.

TRANSFORMERS 5 Expected in 2017; "Shared Universe" Plan Confirmed

"Our plan with the studio and filmmakers you may have heard some writers being hired and we have in fact brought in Akiva Goldsman to lead a group of writers to really create a strategic plan around Transformers. We think there are any number of stories to be told from the brand that has been around for 30 years with amazing canon and mythology. We would expect the sequel to the Transformers movie [TF4] to happen in 2017."

[Darth Geek]

Wait, shared with what?

[Sideswipe]

Multiple sequels and spin offs.

[Darth Geek]

I could see an Optimus Prime movie being rather interesting. Plus, he's the only robot with anything close to a personality to base a movie around. But not even Bumblebee is interesting enough to headline his own movie, and he's the only other robot that's even identifiable!
