    Outside of my usual list of things I DON'T want to see (More Ancient Buried World-Making Space Crap, Wussy Megatron, Radio-Speak Bumblebee, etc., etc.), I can think of another idea I'd prefer over more of the same as the last four times:

    Optimus slaughters ALL the Creators when they try to jump him during an opening-credit-scene attempt by them to re-make a Cybertron-like planet with the existing population still on it. He gets back to Earth - after discovering a few diminutive but grateful stowaways from that planet he just saved - just in time for the first big battle between the Autobots there and Megatron (as he now calls himself again, deploring the name those little pink squishes gave him), who manages to kidnap Joshua Joyce. It turns out Transformium has a shorter life-cycle than was anticipated - Megatron is starting to experience physical symptoms that suggest his new body is starting to fail, and he needs Joyce to find a workaround, fast (shades of Marvel's "Prisoner Of War!"...minus Spider-Man, obviously, but the superhero thing might pop up again here momentarily...). Joyce realizes that Energon is the key; Megatron is going to have to scan an Autobot while they're in robot mode, draw their Energon, re-format, and hopefully the Joyce-re-configured Transformium will adapt sufficiently to lock Megatron's body into a straight transformation scheme instead of that magic-pixie-dust nonsense. In fact, I would probably actually have Megatron call it that, too.

    In the meantime, the Autobots are quickly pre-occupied with the death warrant that the United States government has put out on Optimus Prime for the murder of Harold Attinger, one of the principal associates of a newly-elected and staunchly anti-Cybertronian President of the United States. The President in turn backs the efforts of young Jocelyn Beaumont to end Cybertronian incursion on Earth once and for all - and unlike Attinger, Beaumont believes not in using aliens' technology against them, but rather to make humans themselves into the best line of defense against aliens. Yeah, I'm pulling a Neo-Knights here (See?); I'd re-work them as sort of a dark and ultimately power-crazed parody of The Avengers - not because I dislike the MCU (I like it a helluva lot more than any of THESE movies, that's for sure), but because, again, the whole Neo-Knights thing.

    And of course, because Beaumont's super-team DOES become ultimately power-crazed, you can probably see where that leads to even as they make their first strike on the Autobots, separating them from their leader and backing Optimus into a corner while Beaumont herself arrives on the scene in an exo-suit to finish the job herself (for reasons as yet unclear...but definite). Matters are made worse when Megatron shows up during the melee to scatter the superhumans, and when Hound throws himself in between the wounded Optimus and Megatron the Decepticon leader pulls his vampire act on the big green lug instead, taking his military alt-mode and leaving him to be carted off by Beaumont as bait for an Autobot trap. Furthermore, now that he's got his groove back, Megatron also fashions his own response to Beaumont's super-team; with an abandoned KSI plant at his disposal, Megs creates a new team of evil clones of the Autobots, all of which contain slivers of his own personality (*koff*Stunticons*koff*).

    It looks bad all around for the battle-ravaged Autobots, even after Joyce manages to escape and meet up with them again, but maybe those mini-bot stowaways may have something to say in the matter....yes, folks, Minicons. They may be small, but they have the power levels of any full-sized Cybertronian, and when linked to the Autobots the combination proves to be equal or better to any of Megatron's new cronies. And that's good, because Beaumont's super-group has finally cracked and decided they're done taking orders from anybody, and their subsequent rampage after all the President's men try to rein them in - and after a standoff with Beaumont ends with her getting fused to her exo-suit's internal circuitry, hint, hint (and yes, that means I renamed the character to get around Marvel) - leaves the Commander-In-Chief in the aggravating position of depending on the Autobots for salvation yet again and suspending his warrant on Prime's head.

    Basically, all this is meant to be a more effective parable about humans becoming just as bad as the Creators, and finally seeing for the first time that we ain't no prize as a species either. Tossing in the superhero angle would also be ripe for some pretty easy satire and social commentary without working up a sweat over it, just to toss something into the franchise that nobody would expect and without too much effort; plus Minicons and Stunticons would be new-enough characters without potentially wasting long-time fan-favorites in more hi-and-die appearances - and I'd probably use the Powerlinking to reformat the Autobots' vehicle AND robot modes, to freshen things up further for both the movie AND the toyline (granted, this means the Stunticons would probably be repaints of the Autobots and probably wouldn't combine this early in the game, but they might have new heads - basically the existing Autobot heads with traces of Megatron's blended into them, again correlating to the idea that they're "part" of him - oh, and Welker has to voice ALL of the Stunticons, too, with different voices :D ).

    Are you one of the writers for TF5 asking us fans for plot ideas for Transformers 5?

    Or are you asking if there's a plot for TF5?

    Or are you asking if anyone here has the inside scoop of what the writers has written thus far?

    :lol

    I honestly wouldn't even care at this point if tf5 was just one long action sequence. Have it open with the autobots fighting Galvatron and the remainder of his ksi goons (In the russian tundra because we haven't gone there yet). Then the Russian military intervenes and starts firing on both autobots and decepticons. Bayplosions are everywhere at this point but the battle has just started. Galvatron (somehow) calls the remaining real decepticon forces from space and Cyclonus and the sweeps show up with an armada of decepticons. Cade yeager then drives onto the scene in his old Ford truck and then busts open the door and whips out his alien gun and starts kicking ass (because why the hell not at this point). Just when it looks like the Decepticons are going to win Optimus Prime flies down from space and takes a big chunk out of their forces. However, it is revealed that Optimus when flying to face off against the creators ran into an armada of them and flew back to earth with them.

    At this point there is chaos everywhere, the movie slows down and Jeff Goldblum slowly walks through the action expressing his views on the chaos theory and breaks the fourth wall and points out that these movies are the definition of Chaos. The movie zooms back into regular speed and the Creators start carpet bombing the battlefield with "seeds". The russian and decepticon fighters engage the creators space ships and the sun is blotted out by explosions. At this point Optimus has gone completely psycho. He starts attacking the Russians aswell as the cons. Seeing this, Galvatron engages Prime in a massive fight with Hound slaying cons and twirling in ballerina circles in the background. Just as Galvatron is about to kill Optimus bumblebee comes in and saves him. Galvatron grabs Primes sword and cleaves Bee's head off. Prime fully rage mode turns on his rocket boosters and grabs Galvatron and smashes his body on the ground and drags him across the battlefield. Galvatron manages to free himself but prime is one step ahead and Falcon Punches him into a Creator ship which then explodes due to Galvatron's impact. Cyclonus then takes command of the remaining forces and tells the stunticons to merge into Menasor. As he does this, Optimus calls on the Dinobots who arrive on scene with Grimlock chasing Drift with Jeff Goldblum inside saying "must go faster". The team of dinobots attack the stunticons and they engage in a huge brawl. Galvatron somehow survived the Falcon Punch by Prime and burst out of the wreckage of the creator ship enraged. He calls out to the Giant known as Trypticon and the titan crash lands onto the arena. Optimus sees this and calls on Metroplex who then crash lands into trypticon.

    Galvatron and Optimus then continue their duel across the entire battle, going from ship to ship, landing on Trypticon and Metroplex. The battle is so huge and explosive that earthquakes are felt all the way in London. Metroplex then launches into Trypticon and blasts off earth (somehow) and flies with trypticon to the moon. Optimus and Galvatron fall off Metroplex but Prime flies into Galvatron and the two continue their battle while falling. Cyclonus is still commanding the remaining cons on the ground but all the remaining autobots jump him and steal his lunch money (totally wreck his shit). Still falling Optimus and Galvatron all of a sudden land on the knightship which has just entered the area. The goons from the ship attack both of them and Prime and Galvy team up and take down all the goons and fighter ships. They then enter the ship and free all the prisoners. After that they take a ten second break then continue their battle. The russians see this battle has gone way too long and decide to carpet bomb the entire playing field. All the bombers in the Russian fleet dramatically fly towards the destroyed wasteland as Optimus and Galvatron crash the knightship onto the tundra. As the bombs start to fall from the bombers, Sam (whatever his last name is) and Carly appear and run in slow motion away from the explosion. Unfortunately, Galvatron notices and blasts them mid explosion. After the bombs have fallen, only dust and two opponents remain.

    Galvatron and Optimus. Optimus finds his knight sword on the ground, Galvatron finds a conveniently placed Lightsaber on the ground like from the 1986 movie. The two engage in a dramatic duel with the touch playing in the background. Optimus eventually pins Galvatron, but Galvatron runs prime through with his lightsaber. He stands up, and shrugs prime off. He stands over prime and starts talking about how he totally is gonna destroy earth again for the 7th time or whatever. Just as he lifts his saber to cut prime's head off, trypticon falls out of the atmosphere and lands ontop of galvatron completely crushing him. Optimus slowly gets up and begins to monologue about how the autobots kick ass because their autobots and they will always protect earth even after they destroyed half of Asia. Just as he finishes, metroplex crash lands into earth but he was going to fast so it ended up being like the meteor that destroyed earth millions of years ago and the world blows up. Linkin Park and imagine Dragons sing the end credits song with big title words saying Michael Bay directed this. THE END.

    I suspect that Transhumanism might be one of the central topics. AOE was about man making machines (mechanical organism). TF5 might be about man becoming machines. Quintessons might be introduced as a "warning" to humanity when transhumansim goes wrong (Quintessons being organic but evolving to the point of replacing their entire bodies with machines).

    I also think that Transformers 5 will do their version of Godzilla-esque battles with Trypitcon. So maybe a city that transforms into a dinosaur.

    With the humans making TFs now, I'd be happy if they built transtectors and we either had human head or God masters. It would make the critics happy, if done well, sine critics can't seem to get into robot personalities. If done well, I think it would be pretty bad ass. Big if, tough.
