A new report suggests that the Quintessons, who created the Transformers race, will be the prime villains in the sequel to Age of Extinction.

Release Date For Transformers 5 Revealed?  

The report states that the Quintessons were the ones that created Cybertron. Toward the end of Age of Extinction Optimus Prime was headed to Cybertron to meet his creators.

Many believed that the sequel would be set in Cybertron and there were a lot of theories being suggested to corroborate that. But in a recent interview, producer Lorenzo de Bonaventura revealed that it was more likely that the saga will continue to unfold on mortal land and there were no plans to set it in space. In fact Bonaventura also stated that the setting for Transformers 5 will be very similar to that of Age of Extinction.
