Although, the future of Transformers 5 is fraught with uncertainty, owing to Michael Bay's suggested exit, the plot for the movie is still being hashed out in the speculative universe of the pop-culture websites.

Rodimus Prime And Other New Robots To Feature In Transformers 5?

On October 8, International Business Times went into some detail about the previously suggested theme of the beast wars for the action thriller. The rumor that the sequel to Age of Extinction will feature the Maximals warring against the Predacons, has been doing the rounds. IBT has come up with a list of the main players if such a war were to actually ensue. The list also serves to educate the not-as-hardcore fans about the powers of each character. The beasts that are featured on the list include Optimus Primal, Cheetor, Rhinox, Megatron, Scorponok and Tarantulas.

Earlier this year, the subject of the theme of the beast wars did come up. The report suggested that the machines will now transform into wild animalistic form, and that could open up a whole new world of imagination in the franchise. The beast version of many of the characters is found in the G1 toyline series. Like Optimus Prime is Optimus Primal, Bumblebee is Cheetor, and from the Decepticons, StarScream is Terrasaur and Blackout is Tarantulus.

Not too much is known about the plot of Transformers 5, but here's a lowdown on what's known so far.

Now coming to the plot. As Optimus Prime was seen traveling into space, headed to Cybertron to meet his maker at the end of Age of Extinction, many believed that the sequel would be set in Cybertron and there were a lot of theories being suggested to corroborate that. But in a recent interview, producer Lorenzo de Bonaventura revealed that it was more likely that the saga will continue to unfold on mortal land and there were no plans to set it in space. In fact Bonaventura also stated that the setting for Transformers 5 will be very similar to that of Age of Extinction.

There have also been some other pretty tempting rumors doing the rounds about Shia LeBeouf and Megan Fox returning to the franchise with Transformers 5, but while both mildly welcomed the idea in recent interviews, it seems highly unlikely that such a thing would happen as Age of Extinction marked a complete overhaul with cast for the franchise and announced its new phase.

Transformers: Age of Extinction hit theaters on June 27, 2014.
