Never underestimate how convoluted the entire Transformers Cinematic Universe is. With each new installment, the franchise finds a way to disregard all of its rules and canon. Nothing makes sense. The only consistent thing about it was the Bayhem — explosions, sexual exploitation, racism, and the usual nonsensical material that comes with a Michael Bay film. But now that the director is out, we can hopefully look forward to something new for Transformers.

Especially when Paramount brought in a group of writers to pen up to 12 possible Transformers films. It’s still unclear if that is the number the studio is targeting. But if it is, then a possible reboot could just be the thing to help the franchise achieve Marvel Studios-like success. And that reboot may be in the works. More on the story below.

Of the many Transformers on the ever changing Autobot roster, Bumblebee is probably the one that consistently appears. In fact, like Optimus Prime, Bumblebee has appeared in all four Transformers live-action films. Paramount has formed a Transformers story trust to create sequels and spinoffs, with another sequel intended to be directed by Michael Bay after he finished his work on his Benghazi movie 13 Hours. The studio is targeting a 2017 release, and a spinoff rumored to take place on Cybertron.

Now, a new rumor has emerged saying that another spinoff could focus on Bumblebee.
