It seems like all those rumors about Transformers 5 featuring the beast wars have finally made it to the writer's room for the movie.

Unicorn And Galactus To Feature In Transformers 5?

Earlier last year various reports suggested that the beast wars being introduced in the Age of Extinction sequel and now in a recent interview with Deadline the chief, Akiva Goldsman, of the Transformers writing team seems to have given them some legitimacy.

While talking about the writing process as it stands Goldsman strongly hinted at the storyline.

"If one of the writers discovers an affinity for Beast Wars, they can drive forward on treatments that will have been fleshed out by the whole room," Goldsman said.

In July last year, a report gave this speculation some heft. The report suggested that the machines will now transform into wild animalistic form, and that could open up a whole new world of imagination in the franchise. The beast version of many of the characters is found in the G1 toyline series. Like Optimus Prime is Optimus Primal, Bumblebee is Cheetor, and from the Decepticons, StarScream is Terrasaur and Blackout is Tarantulus.

The most recent additions to the team for Transformers 5 have been two great female writers, Christina Hodson and Lindsey Beer. Hodson has worked on films like The Fugitive, The Eden Project, and Shut In, in the past. Beer has projects like Dig, Short Circuit and How to Nail An Alien under her belt. She is currently working on the reboot of The Wizard of Oz. The other writers on the team are Zak Penn (The Incredible Hulk), Jeff Pinker (Lost), Art Marcum and Matt Holloway (Iron Man), Robert Kirkman (The Walking Dead), Andrew Barrer and Gabriel Ferrari (Ant-Man), Ken Nolan (Black Hawk Down) and Geneva Robertson-Dworet.
