Plot Synopsis for the Mark Wahlberg starring film...

I'm so there.

Is Michael Bay involved?

He's directing for the last time.

Don't tease me.

Mark Wahlberg and Optimus Prime? I am all in.

That sounds like Unicron to me but I hope they don't screw him up royally like they did with Galactus in Fantastic Four.

Unlikely. Big robots remain big robots in the movies.

Think we'll see the Dinobots?

Probably not, they were fairly clear on why they avoided them. And the best possible reason (Shockwave) was killed off in the last movie. They'd have to come up with something to add them, and Bay himself won't be the guy to do it. Maybe in T5 with a new director. Spielberg will be down regardless, I imagine.

They god damn well better add the dinobots in one of these movies.

What about Predacons? They're getting a big push in the brand this year. Animal forms seem to be a thing for Hasbro going forward so who knows.

the last one was the only one I found manageable to watch

Unicron, is that you?

Say hello to your mother for me.

Just did.

Maybe they should shoehorn them in via studio mandate. It worked out pretty well for Venom, right?

In a franchise that lives on product placement, that would be easy.

If they do to Predaking to what they did to Devastator no thanks although his face in the G1 series could have been so much cooler.

You make it sound as though Transformers has some sort of...Merchandising empire or something.

I seen a happy meal for them so I think they get around.

Much better.

Optimus needed more flames. Yes. That's what he needed.

Not too crazy about B.

They should go with the 80's IROC look. That would be hot.

NOTE: One of the big new ones may indeed be Grimlock.

Which one is the Bugatti?

New Autobot, presumably.

The military truck under Optimus is confirmed as Hound.

That's ....interesting.

How many "ancient, evil overlords of doom" are there? And why do they keep coming to Earth?

For Chalupas?

Actually I've read that may bite the bullet and upgrade Megatron to Galvatron already. The theme seems to be new forms, plus it alludes to the only big bad yet to appear.

Straxus?

...No.

So frustrated with all the Bayformer movies. Can't tell one 'bot from the next when they're in robot mode unless they speak. Next to no plot. And while this is announced as MB's final film in the series as director, he is staying on as producer for the 2nd and 3rd in this new trilogy, which means his footprint is still gonna be all over them.

I can totally tell one bot from the next in their humanoid forms. Don't be dramatic. And the plot's about as good as the cartoons and recent games, ie some series of events to sell toys and entertain.

Actually I would say the Cybertron games have been much better.
