Though Transformers: Age of Extinction did not exactly meet up to critics' expectations with reasons of a poor, weak plot, excessive visual effects and very bad characters, rumors have been spreading that the Transformers 5 release date has been set for a 2016 premiere. This will be in time for the 30th anniversary since the first Transformer movie came out to the big screen. However, Lorenzo di Bonaventura, producer of the franchise, seems to say otherwise.
On the other hand, director Michael Bay did share his plans for Transformers 5 and that would involve a broad exploration of the Autobots and the Decepticons, a far cry from the action and conspiracy themes the current movies has portrayed. The Transformers 5 movie will also serve as the second movie of Cade Yeager's trilogy, which was played by Mark Wahlberg. The first Transformers movie trilogy had Sam Witwicky, played by Shia LaBeouf, as the main character.
New characters will surely be added to the Transformers 5 movie such as Rodimus Prime, Vector Prime and Unicron. Judging by the names, it would seem that the upcoming movie will be focusing on the Unicron, who is by the way the evil twin brother of Optimus Prime, saga and the origins of our favorite vehicle transforming robots.
Speaking of characters, there have been several rumors that have made their way into the Transformers 5 movie waves and that would include the return of several characters. Yes, it would seem that Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox may be reprising their roles in the future.
As of the moment there is still no final Transformers 5 release date.
