Re: Transformers Live Action Film Series to be Rebooted and Transformers 6 Removed from Roadmap

Hmmm, 3 pages in and nobody's pointed out that the title should say Transformers 7 (as it properly says in the article) since the Bumblebee Movie is TF6?
I think it's natural for series to get rebooted over time so I'm fine with this. It happens all the time in comics and movies anyway so why would the Transformers movie franchise be any different? Considering how bad TLK was I'm shedding no tears for its loss if that's the direction things would be going later. The series is ready for a proper reboot, one that actually cares about things like continuity.
I really want Unicron to be the main baddie for the Hasbro movie universe like how the MCU has Thanos and DC has Darkseid. I'm not a fan of the whole "Unicron is Earth" idea, I think it's lazy writing, even when Prime did it since both times it didn't go anywhere and was done more to shock and surprise.
Here's how I would do it: First the Micronauts and Joe movies ending with a realization that some bigger threat is out there in space. Then do two new Transformers movies in 2022 (yes, two, one early and one late in the year). The first an adventure on Earth that sets up the core characters on both sides, doesn't really matter what, maybe something classic like a fight over Earth's energy resources. The second being a prequel focusing on Optimus Prime/Orion Pax on Cybertron just before the war during a period of unrest, traveling around Cybertron researching Primus, but instead uncovering info on Unicron to set him up as a serious threat to the universe. 2023 we can maybe have a MASK movie and end the year with another Transformers movie, this time a fight against a herald of Unicron. Then in 2024 we can start the big crossover against Unicron.
And please make the Transformers more "human". They don't need human mouth pieces if they themselves are more relatable. Leave the human factor to the other series in the Hasbro universe.
