I could see a second trilogy working for this series. And I agree with Murphy's statement that a reboot isn't needed. The series is decent as it is. Though I would like to see more action and less stupid humans doing not so funny things with bad lines.

In the perfect world, A Transformers film would just be about Transformers, and not humans. As much as we all despise MBay, he should definitely continue directing it, as despite the lack of good story/acting ability/script/character and plot development, he sure as hell knows how to make epic as fuck action sequences.

Just for the love of god hire better script writers. Also, keep the characters on each side to a minimum, therefore allowing better character and story development, which is why the First TF film is the best. Im not seeking an intricate and deep nolanesque story, keep it basic like the first film, however it wouldnt hurt to have a pretty interesting story either.

Also, for the love of god, have the characters ACKNOWLEGDE character deaths. Its as if when one autobot dies, no else gives a fuck. Jazz's death was sad in the first film, yet Optimus didnt say squat about him.

And I would love for the next Trilogy to be an arc of Unicron, and also incorporate Galvatron as the new antagonist. Somebody said that without Sam (shia) we lose the brilliant bot/human relationship between them (which was a real highlight of the first and third films), however setting the film in the future with sam and carly's son, Daniel, would be a great way to continue with a new protagonist.

I'm interested to see where they go with it. No doubt these movies will still make crap tons of money, but how will it all work.

Im SUPER happy its not a reboot with an origin story...so sick of those. However are they just going to say so long to the characters and the autobots randomly find someone new to follow or what?

Or will it be like Pirates where one character stays and a character here and there is also tagging along?

I think they could use another kid, keep him in high school/college and keep him acting goofy for the entire series. Hopefully Rosie doesn't return...didn't like her character at all, and Im somewhat tired of these over used British accents in movies. No offense to British people, but even they know these accents are a bit exaggerated lol....

Either way I would enjoy seeing more transformer movies but only if they have good writers so the story isn't lost in all the action.

They should make the next trilogy based on the armada/energon/cybertron trilogy that they had in the cartoons, Unicron would be so awesome on the big screen

This will be very odd without Shia as the annoying lead or Bay as the destruction director. Not sure if I am down for a 4th.

it has to be unicron in tf4 5 and 6....IT HAS TO BE!!!!

Unicron.

don't bring him in in the first of the new trilogy, have hints in the first two films, maybe a fleeting glimpse right at the end of the second.
but save the ultimate big bad of the TF universe for the finale of the new trilogy.

and tie his origin in with that of cybertron and the transformers like they did in the comics, so the only thing that can hurt him is something from cybertron

DINOBOTS!! anybody?

i would love if they pic up when Sam is an older man an his son spike is now a teenager with hot rod as his guardian and while optimus and his team are away Ultra magnus is leading the autobots on earth with hot rod ,blur ,cup, rc and springer. Galvatron and his armada will be the decepticons . and the main bad robot trypticon or unicron.

Those movies were awesome no need for a reboot..

I hope whoever the villain is, they give them more character and personality instead of the Snidely Whiplash type they had megaton as in the last three. The best villains in movies are the ones the audience can feel a little empathy for (not too much or they start rooting for him)
Look at Hannibal Lector for example, he is just likable enough for you to care about his character, but then occasionally he does something extremely violent and evil to remind you he's the bad guy.

Pretty easy to make a new trilogy. Transformers fans want Unicron......Cha Ching $$$$$$

Just dump all the beaten Decepticons into deep space (except Starscream, who somehow finds his way back to Cybertron to rebuild and rule it) and let Unicron find them and BANG! You got Box Office Gold for 3 more movies.

Oh and No Shia LaBeouf...No one cares! He can't act and his clumsy, goofy, act in every movie is past stale.

Didn't really like Transformers3, i still prefer the first one.. i hope the first one in this trilogy turns out to be the same :)
