The main Transformers film franchise producer, Lorenzo di Bonaventura, stated he is currently overseeing the scripting of two Transformers films sequels. He said so as part of a bigger interview to a Japanese movie news website as part of the Bumblebee press tour. One of the films is the next big tentpole Transformers film to follow The Last Knight, while the other is a sequel to Bumblebee. Please keep in mind that the film following the last Knight was already said to be a new experience and thus may involve a new storyline rather than finishing what was started in the Last Knight. The Bumblebee sequel is said to be a buddy movie featuring Optimus and Bumblebee. So one would take place in the past while the other in the present.
Here is a quote from the website:
This of course puts the whole kibosh on fans wanting a complete reboot. Of course, the fact that the same producer overseeing the entire franchise at Paramount had confirmed that there was no reboot all along was also a pretty good hint.
Here is a quote from the website:
Throughout the day, Di Bonaventura talks with smiles," Our greatest mission is to the audience To be satisfied, "to meet the expectations of the audience." To that end, he and his colleagues are already working on a new series. "We are already working on two projects and are in the process of writing a script. One is the latest in the main family series following Transformers: The Last Knight and the other is a sequel to Bumblebee So, we are thinking of works where Optimus Prime and Bumblebee will be the buddy (buddy), but when Optimus and Bumblebee are the movies of the protagonists ... how human beings get involved in their drama In the first place, the size is different between human beings and theirs .... It's a worrying point (laughs).
This of course puts the whole kibosh on fans wanting a complete reboot. Of course, the fact that the same producer overseeing the entire franchise at Paramount had confirmed that there was no reboot all along was also a pretty good hint.

Last Knight Sequel—
Please no. No sequel to the Last Knight. It was the worst one yet in a parade of garbage that has gotten progressively worse with each film. Please no. These are trash films that can only be enjoyed by mocking them and watching them as a joke. The characters all act like they are high on cocaine, the robots aren't even treated as characters, the stories contradict themselves, the scripts are banal, the humor isn't funny to anyone but stoned frat boys, the women are objectified and there are racist and misogynist themes throughout.
Also, they are aggressively stupid.
Please, just make them stop.
Bumblebee sequel —
Okay, I'll go to that.

I think a sequel to The Last Knight would be great! As long as it starts out with a flashback to the final moments of The Last Knight, then suddenly you see Optimus Prime waking up in his bed all upset, and he's his old G1 self, and Alita-One, lying next to him, asks him if he had a bad dream, and he's like, "Oh, man, a nightmare," referring to the entire Bay-verse run and we all learn it was all just a dream and not part of canon and the movie proceeds from there.

I'm not Anti-Bayverse like some, but I do have a concern for a Last Knight sequel.
Last Knight built up to Unicron, if they're keeping the old continuity then that has to be where they go next, it's literally the only move they have, and I cannot see a way for them to do Justice to Unicron without destroying the Earth.
This was one of my few issues with Prime; Unicron is the big, planet eating devil of the transformers Mythology and by making him the core of earth they removed any chance of him fulfilling the classic role.
It's almost Ironic, the Aligned universe maintains Unicron's Evil space god role, but completely deviates from the real Unicron imagery, for the worse in my view, while IDW nailed a modern take on Unicron's appearence, but then eliminated his Evil God thing (the final nail in the 'deconstruct all transformer mythology' the last year or so of the old universe seemed to focus on) and made him a weapon of vengeance against Cybertron.
Can't we just get Unicron with all the best bits. Well obviously not in the films unless they actually do destroy the Earth.
Hey, maybe they'll reboot after that, I mean IDW hit reboot after doing Unicron, And with the corner they're painted into they have no choice, they could even have it that destoying Unicron caused some qauntum surge and caused the timeline to reset, with the slast shots of the film being Cybertron as seen in Bumblebee. For that with Bumblebee 2, since last I heard official word now say it is a different timeline, can they retcon that he didn't scan a Camaro, or changed his mind and re-scanned a Beetle, please, Bumblebee Bumblebee may not have been a perfect representation of G1 Bee, but he was still the best Bumblebee we've had, because Bee is meant to be the little guy, the small car, there are litterally dozens of autobots that can turn into big cars, give us our Bug back!

Where did you hear that its a different timeline? Bee 2 is not a reboot, it's a prequel-sequel set between bee and Transformers 07. As been stated there has been no rebooting. I suspect if anything they may just conviently forget all about the last knight for the whole and just keep the other four movies and move on from there (or establish that unicron inside the earth is only the gods intelligence which escapes into the cosmos after playing a game of possess the bot and there merges asteroids till he's the planet eater we all know)

I didn't dislike TLK but it wasn't a TFMovie, it was something completely different. AOE was even worse, in my opinion but AOE was somehow in the continuity and, moreover, had some way of development for the plot: TLK is a colpete dead eand. Even though there was that woman in the final walking near the horn of unicron, the plot went too astray to be seriously developed. For example: what is supposed to do the whole planet Earth with Cybertron lying on its surface?
I think that anyhow a new movie will start form TLK it will be a complete disaster.

Well this kinda sucks, but it's to be expected I suppose. As long as it's not as outstandingly bad as TLK I'll be OK with it- I enjoyed every movie that wasn't TLK, so who knows, there might be a chance of it not being atrocious.

Honestly I don't blame Bay for TLK being so bad-I lay that blame at the feet of the "writers' room" (and also Izabella, AKA the WORST human character in the movieverse, which is saying something). Keep Bay and give him a decent writer to work with and IMO you have a good chance of a good movie.
Of course Knight as director would be better, but I'd take Bay.

Wait what? A follow up to The Last Knight? :O I thought I was done with looking forward to new movies after that stupid Bumblebee mess pretty much confused everyone into whether it was a reboot or not (and if it's not then it still makes a mess of everything with it's G1-inspired cybertron stuff and other contradictions). Do I finally have a reason to look forward to actually going to cinema again or is someone just messing with my head. I enjoyed TLK though my fave movie is Age of Extinction for so many reasons. I'm feeling very confused and unsure whether to get my hopes up or whether there's some mix up and I'm not getting a TF6 after all. I just wanna see more of my fave Optimus and co.
I gonna go try sleep now cos i feel rough as hell all day and had major anxiety attack too but the thought of my Bayverse TFs possibly returning has cheered me up a bit and I gonna leave before more negatory stuffs like what i already seen happen above in this thread.. bleh.. . Have a good weekend.

Bashing on picky fans aside, I wouldn't mind a movie that is 100% CGI where the action is purely on Cybertron with no humans at all. Especially for a movie that depict the start of the Cybertronian civil war. We would then explore the rise of Megatron and Optimus Prime.
Another (maybe full CGI) movie I want to see is a Beast Wars movie. The Beasts in the Bayverse on prehistoric Earth. I want to see that.

If future movies can maintain the level of basic filmmaking competency that the Bumblebee movie brought, I guess that’s fine.
Just a shame that there’s no definitive fresh start that an actual reboot brings.

Building on the terrible foundation of the Bayverse will result in an utter collapse of the TF movie franchise. By not starting fresh and ignoring the power of nostalgia the next movie may be the last. Instead of starting a cinematic universe, they'll choke it to death.

Yes, the G1 cartoon had silly episodes. It churned out a lot of ideas to fill out episodes, and a lot of those were bad/stock 80s (especially season 2). It was made on a dodgy budget and it doesn’t always look good.
Transformers 1-5 are still terrible and a waste of the Transformers.

We can appreciate what the movies did for the franchise and still think that they're all piles of steaming hot garbage (except Bumblebee). The two aren't mutually exclusive.

Bee movie sequel: not being a reboot kills a lot of enthusiasm, but I'll still check it out.
TLK sequel: are you fucking kidding me? Maybe a sequel to DotM, but AoE and TLK were such incredibly bad shitstorms there is literally no way to save that end of the franchise. The best writer in the world couldn't fix that.
This is all sad news.

"TLK sequel" is likely just marketing speech for "next main Transformers movie set after the fifth one" or, to put it more simply, "Transformers 6".Ironhidensh wrote:TLK sequel: are you **** kidding me?

The 2007 movie was phenomenal. ROTF was acceptable. DOTM was bad. AoE was disapointing. TLK was trash. Then, Bee movie turn back the clock and brought back greatness. Let's hope the downward spiral won't repeat itself.
At least the movies brought something amazing and it was new design styles and engineering for the toys. Now if the movies can remain as good as 2007 and Bee, we are in for something awesome down the line.

But didnt we get the information before,that the Bumbleebee movie would be a soft reboot and would be used as a base for future films? 
I think we should wait for more info.
Are sure you have been hangin out in this site since 2007?

I would absolutely see that movie.

Ha, there is no extra info that would help. The Bee movie came out and everyone involved in making it stated very clearly that it was a prequel and that not everything needed to match up perfectly since it never did anyway.
And still, we have people using the word reboot. In any case, to answer your question, the word reboot was only ever used by fans wishing the bayverse was dead. Any official word coming from paramount is that Bumblebee is a stand alone film within the live action tf franchise. And yes, it can spawn off more stories, there is a sequel being done. But still, no reboot.

Yes that movie does use the song but the lyrics are what matters here
"Brother, my brother
Tell me, what are we fighting for?
We've got to end this war
We should love one another
Oh, can't we just pretend
This war never began
We can try
Brother, my brother
We face each other from different sides
The anger burns can't remember why
It's kind of crazy to cause such pain
Our foolish pride makes us hate this way
We watch our world fall apart
Tell me what good is winning
When you lose your heart
Brother, my brother
Tell me, what are we fighting for?
Isn't life worth so much more?
We should love one another
Oh, can't we just pretend
This war never began
Tell me why
Brother, my brother
Yes
We can try
Brother, my brother
Yes
Let's take a moment and look deep inside
And say we're willing to give love a try
We're not as different as we seem to be
There's so much more to me than what you see
You don't have to be this way
Think about the consequences
Turn around and walk away
Brother, my brother
Tell me, what are we fighting for?
Isn't life worth so much more?
We should love one another
Oh, can't we just pretend
This war never began
Tell me why
Brother, my brother
Yeah
Tell me why
Brother, my brother
Oh, what are we fighting for?
Isn't life just worth so much more?
Love one another (Tell me why, oh)"
I mean it sounds like the perfect finale song for a franchise who's modern theme is about war and the dangers of it

I was hoping TLK wouldn't be the last film, it ended on a cliffhanger. I hate that. I just hope that a competent writer is hired to make some sense of the story up to now, and handle Unicron at least decently. I won't compare this iteration to G1, because it's a different universe. Unicron could have a totally different origin.
As for a sequel to the Bee movie, my initial reaction is to pass on it altogether, I didn't care for the movie. At all. But I'll see who they cast, and if it won't be a SJW circle jerk this time around and there are more TF characters, I'll give it a shot.

And yet the article wrote a clickbait title like that and people just blindly passed it along without realizing they were propogating fake news brought about by piss poor journalism.
The misinformation from those articles was started by TFW, who are currently not newsing this new Bonaventura interview. I guess because that would mean they wrote a BS article all along which spread to major news outlets, and no one wants to admit that.
