Images that appear to be from a Hasbro slideshow presentation have leaked. They were posted on an Australian website,
vilsco.com.au. They include a calendar for upcoming
Transformers projects. Most importantly, they confirm a
Transformers 5 live-action film is planned for release in the second quarter of 2017. There's even a preliminary logo. Also confirmation for two animated features. One for the first quarter of 2015 and a second for the first quarter of 2016. While the
Transformers: Age of Extinction concept art includes character designs for Silver Knight Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Hound, Drift, Lockdown and Grimlock. I can
confirm that the concept art you see below is legit, which makes me very confident that the rest of the images are real as well. View all of the images at

I find the
Transformers 5 information quite fascinating. Since the fourth film was announced we had heard that it was the first of a new trilogy. But in November of last year, Vice Chairman of Paramount Pictures, Rob Moore, told the
Chinese press that a fifth or sixth film was largely dependent on the box office performance of
Transformers: Age of Extinction. Guess Hasbro is feeling a bit more confident than Mr. Rob Moore.
