The battle of the Autobots and the Decepticons, which began in the planet Cybertron, before they took it to earth, is going outer space again on the fifth installment of the “Transfomers” movie saga.
Breathecast reports that based on the Facebook page of the Comic Central City, Optimus Prime and the Autobots will have some reinforcements from mechanoids including Ultra Magnus, Red Alert and Override in the upcoming sequel for “Transformers: Age of Extinction.”
“Transformers 5” has yet to have an official title but it already has an official release date on June 24, 2016.
The Facebook page explained that Ultra Magnus will join the cause of Optimus Prime and the Autobots because of his history with villain robot Galvatron that dates from way back.
Reinforcement for the Decepticons
But it will not just be the Autobots who will get reinforcements in the upcoming movie. The Decepticons shall also have their dose of support from the Quintessons, which is the ancient dark race that created the transformers.
In “Transformers: Age of Extinction,” Optimus Prime referred to the Quintessons as ‘our creators.’ Towards the end of the fourth movie, he flew into space to go to his home planet and find out why many are coming down to earth and fight the Autobots.
The site also detailed that the Decepticons will feature three new villain robots including Cyclonus, Scourge and Blitzwing. But reports have it that the Quintessons, and not the Decepticons, will be the main adversaries of Optimus Prime and the Autobots in “Transformers 5.”
With these premise, it is likely that the next Transformers movie will be set in outer space and thus, a good portion of it will be mostly CGIs or computer-generated images.
Mark Wahlberg will return
Still, there will be portions of the film that will be shot on earth as Mark Wahlberg, who played Cade Yeager in “Transformers: Age of Extinction” confirmed that he is returning for the fifth movie.
The 43-year-old actor said that he has agreed to do a couple more Transformer movies, which means that he could actually be part of “Transformers 6” if there will be one.
The confirmation of Wahlberg to “Transformers 5” also quashed rumors that Megan Fox and Shia LaBeouf, who starred in the first two and three movies respectively, will no longer be back for the fifth movie.
Also going down the drain are reports that “Transformers 5” will do some crossover with “G.I. Joe” and shall feature Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Bruce Willis.
Mark Wahlberg also denied talks that Michael Bay will be returning to direct the fifth Transfomers movie. Jonathan Liebesman, the director of “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle” was already confirmed as the director of “Transformers 5” after Michael Bay decided to leave the franchise following “Transformers: Age of Extinction.”
