I think the quints should be in tf5 as the creator and later in tf6 lead to a unicron vs primus story arch for one big series finale maybe even metroplex? Omega supreme? Trypticon would love to see some combiners

 

Sky Byte as the foolhardy general of the Sharticons would be cool

Already posted this here (I literally copy pasted it  ), but I figured it was relevant here too so why not

Awesome idea, almost reminds me of

Evangelion

where they turn out to be

As for earth, I vote dirty four vs Galvatron, with Bumble Bee as the new leader.

New Autobots:
Brawn: Toyota Supra (otherwise pretty G1 based)
Rack 'n' Ruin: ONE tank (don't come apart to transform)
Dinobot Air Hammer: Parasaurolophus (has flight capabilities in both modes via jetpack, dino head becomes hammer like hand in bot mode)

New Decepticons:
Tux; need I say more? Oh yeah, I do; he'd be the new second in command.
Trypticon: White, blue, and green combiner (not super huge or city bot, but still very badass fighter w/ Joseph Leidy like proportions)

1. Fang: Blue and white Steeljaw animal (robot mode is obvious Cybertron Snarl reference): Head/neck
2. Overkill: Blue and white whatever Ravage is (T-Rex esque robot mode, but still looks like a somewhat humanoid robot): Arms/backpack
3. InTerrorGator (capatalization to make wordplay more obvious): Blue and green Cybertronian terrapin/alligator (bascially a new version of Terragator): Torso
4. Scrapmetal: Green and white Scorpio nokisus: Legs/waist/tail

New Creator-hired bounty hunters:
Bludgeon: Cybertronian tank (would actually be colorful, despite Cybertronianness; very humanoid like Lockdown; doesn't have a ship since he's supposed to emerge on Earth as a surprise)
Dreadwind and Darkwing: Bludgeons minions who attach to his back in their Cybertronian rocket booster modes (he has to get to Earth somehow and he yet again doesn't have a ship)

If they do delay the epic showdown with the creators until the final movie (which I think is actually a really good idea), they could do it by having Optimus detect the aforementioned Bludgeon and his minions heading towards Earth and having to stop them before they gets there.

Sorry for how disorganized this all is.

What Decepticon do you think should be the main villain for TF5?

TF1: Megatron

TF2: The Fallen

TF3: Sentinel Prime, Although they said Shockwave

TF4: Lockdown

There are a lot of threatening Decepticons out there. But who is more threatening enough to be called the main Villain for TF5?

I'd like them to do Nightbird as a Decepticon Ninja who looks to eliminate Optimus but also fights with honor. Or Motormaster, as a Decepticon who tries to prove to Optimus that he is the King of the road.

 

I say Galvatron. Either make him the main villain, or let him stay dead for Primus' sake.

 

Somehow I think they are saving Galvatron as the main villain for the last film.

 

I think the creators are more likely.

 

The start of movie with dinosaurs running as seed did its thing showed half organic robot hand resembling the Fallens toy hands inside the controls of ship. I felt this was a deliberate attempt to reveal the on going plot of the creators who I believe will be the Quintessons. So if their the CREATORS then there is every possibility that someone will be created or recreated as Gavatron was. The only difference is I feel with Galvatron not possessing a soul that a darker force will be his story and one would be inclined to think that is UNICRON. Any characters being introduced for the first time in movie with so many to choose from. And after seeing aircraft carriers in the more recent films, titans like TIDALWAVE are a real possibility and then really any titan. If your the producer of such films then you would know that's what fans want, whether you can deliver such a cinema viewing experience well I can't comment I'm not a producer. I would imagine the 5th 6th movie already imagined for the fact there is so much to explore so no shortage of ideas. And with such a huge task producing FX a complicated enough let alone giving more then a fan needs, leave us guessing. I personally would like to see introduction of a backstory origin that's leaves the audience guessing and awaiting 7th 8th 9th movie but we are already at Galvatron, so main characters RODIMUS, KUP, NEMESIS, PERCEPTOR the skies the limit if done correctly. Risk of hitting a dead end will only be obvious with what next movie has to offer us. Taking into consideration we want to watch the movies in this life time, next 3 years being reasonable.

 

Regardless of whether he's the main villain of TF 5, I think Galvatron should stay alive for the rest of the Bayverse.

I'd say have Galvatron be the main villain of TF 5 as the leader of a resurgent Decepticon faction while Optimus meets the Creators for the first time.

Have Galvatron either strike a deal with the Creators and later betray them, or have some of the Creator's allies or minions attack both Autobots and Decepticons. Either way, have Galvatron survive for TF 6 and have him realize that the Decepticons have greater enemies than the Autobots.

For TF 6 I'd like the Creators and a Creator-allied Liege Maximo to be the villains, with Liege Maximo being the leader of some Creator-allied Transformers. Have Prime and Galvatron and their remaining forces fight side by side as newfound allies against the Creators, their minions, and allies.

 

Well....Galvatron is kind of the obvious answer.

 

I'm going to say whatever Decepticon you don't mind getting killed because that's all they are there for.

 

Galvatron is definitely the obvious answer, but I would love to see Straxus in a film at some point. For villains that aren't really Decepticons I'd also love to see Thundertron or the Liege Maximo.

 

No way man, that only worked once. Either give a second chance to The Fallen or Shockwave.

Megatron will be part of TF5 regardless of wether there's a main villain or not.

The Creators would be interesting to see take on the "big bad" of the movie.

 

Predacons or Beastcons

 

What only worked once? Him as the main villain? They only tried that once, as reflected by the OP having a list of the main villains after that one time.

 

Galvatron
