In the midst of the making of Transformers 5 has been fraught with uncertainty ever since Michael Bay stated that he might be ditching the franchise, it seems like people really want the director to change his minds and stars from the franchise are rooting for that.

What We Know So Far About Transformers 5

Peter Cullen, who is the voice of Optimus Prime, spoke about all the speculation in a recent interview and sent out a message for Bay to reconsider his move.

The voice actor revealed how much he would miss Bay in an interview with Cinema Blend.

"I have a great deal of respect for him," he said. "He generates a great deal of excitement and energy. He's really a hands-on director. My son is a stunt man and worked in Chicago doing a lot of the driving sequences...he said he's a very, very diligent, hands-on guy. He creates a great deal of energy and puts everybody on their toes. I would certainly miss him. I think he's brilliant, his mind is unbelievable."

Then he went on to drop a line, asking the director to come back and recommit to the franchise he has helmed for so long.

"Michael if you're [reading] this, I certainly hope you are coming back," he said.

When asked to weigh on on the future of the franchise, Cullen admitted to not having much of a clue as to where it was headed.

"It would be very difficult me to express any of the future on Transformers, but certainly the excitement that it's generated of where it could possibly go is up to anybody to figure out," he said. "I don't have access to any of that information."
