Even though the pre-production for Transformers 5 still lies in a state of limbo, rumors about the plot of the sequel to Age of Extinction are abounding on pop culture sites, and the latest development hints at Ultra Magnus and Cyclonus representing the good vs. the evil in the next instalment.

Quintessons To Be The Prime Villains In Transformers 5?

New reports state that Ultra Magnus will be holding the fort on earth for Optimus Prime, who will be off to Cybertron to meet his creator. And Cyclonus, will be one of the prime Decepticons to defeat, and taking on the role of one of the main antagonists. Vector Prime, Rodimus Prime, Red Alert and Scourge are also expected to join the crew.

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.
