TRANSFORMERS 5 Coming In 2017!

Screenwriter Ehren Kruger Talks TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF EXTINCTION, Developing a Version with a Different Director, Michael Bay, Hasbro, TRANSFORMERS 5, More

Well, we agreed very early on that there's so much rich mythology to the Transformer universe that 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.

[Sideswipe]

All this battle and action stuff is over with now.  The next one is going to be a courtroom drama where the Decepticons sue the Autobots for property damage and defamation.

[Toyland Chairman]

I suspect the Quintessons will be involved with this. Or possibly Primus and Unicron, but I'm not sure if Bay would want to go down that road.

[Sideswipe]

The Quintessons are definitely a possibility.  I dont think Unicron is though.  Maybe TF6?

Unicron and Primus if they do a good job of it. Unless Cybertron was fully destroyed in 3, I don't know.

I actually like the Quintesson's origin in the cartoon. They sure didn't look organic, more like other robots, but still.

[The Lurker]

The extent of my Transformers experience is growing up watching Beast Wars, though I did see the original 80s movie a year or two ago.

Then you saw the Quintessons, they were introduced in the movie.  They could be interesting in a future movie, they are kind of like the Covenant.  There are multiple species that serve the five faced beings.

So who are they going to get to direct T5? As for Bay imitators, I'd say Battleship was practically just a resume for Peter Berg to get this gig. Otherwise, Paul WS Anderson seems like the kind of soulless flunky that could fill Bay's shoes.

[Sideswipe]

With the loss of the Marvel movies, Transformers is Paramounts #1 money making franchise, if they end up replacing Bay, they are not going to get a hack director to drive their billion dollar series into the ground.  But what the fuck do I know, I am not an executive at Paramount?

[Darth Geek]

if they end up replacing Bay, they are not going to get a hack director 

[Sideswipe]

What's with the clown?  I am confused as well...

[Pak-Man]

Universal already went on record saying they don't want to replace Bay ever if they can help it.

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

Wahlberg's reluctance to commit to a sequel is a little baffling. Did he really expect his TF4 gig to be a "one-off?" This isn't an independent arthouse flick, for crying out loud, it's a franchise.
