Because I don't think di Bonaventura really understands what the term "reboot" means.
Reboot, I always hate that word because for one, I’m not sure I really understand what it means.

that's true, he said so himself:Reboot, I always hate that word because for one, I’m not sure I really understand what it means.

I worked out what it is.
He's taken inspiration from the movies. The continuity of them can be confusing at times as well.
william-james88 wrote:Yes, you read that title right. And if you are confused, that's fine, it means you have been rather attentive. Very recently, Lorenzo di Bonaventura stated that not only would there be a big Transformers film following the Last Knight (though not necessarily continuing that film's plot), but that subsequent films would bring back some Bayhem.
And now, ladies and gentlemen, we are being told that the next big film, following the Last Knight, will be a reboot. We are also being told that the sequel to Bumblebee, the buddy film with Optimus Prime, will tie into the new continuity of said film. Both scripts are being developed at the same time and it is unknown which film will start filming first or be released first. We know many fans were hoping for a reboot simply because that would mean that the films were stepping away from the Michael bay films. But we have since been told that the next films would contain Bayhem regardless, so it seems the reboot is simply to avoid continuity problems, like having Megatron show up in the Bumblebee sequel, as opposed to a change in style or content from previous Transformers films. Of course, this is merely inference from all that was said recently and in this interview from Gamespot.
Looking at what is being told to us, is this the reboot you were hoping for? Let us know!"The main Transformers movie we are working on is a reboot, and I will say that the Bumblebee sequel will be more directly linked to the timeline that we set up," Di Bonaventura told GameSpot.
"I think Paramount should just pick the best script and release that first," the producer said. "I don't think there is a plan in terms of what movie comes out first, and I always think you should just go with the best script first instead of planning a franchise based on release dates."
He went on to say that the Bumblebee sequel will be bigger than the previous one, despite the spin-off having had the smallest budget in the franchise. "It is going to bring Bumblebee into a bigger adventure," Di Bonaventura said. "What was fun about the first one was that we didn’t have to be beholden to the other Transformers movies."

Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.

Will, love the picture of Scrapper and Grapple poring over plans. Very apropos.

Haha, yeah, I thought that worked perfectly, glad you like it
And you are right about that misinformation. We were told something similar for both AOE (which was a soft reboot, but the same thing as before anyways) and for The Last Knight (which proved to be yet another soft reboot of the TF universe, not gelling with past films, but still the same thing as before anyways).
While the word reboot has been on a lot of people's minds, I think what matters most is that the film is good and I am slightly less optimistic than I was the last time we spoke.
One of the things I want to see, and I don’t know if we’ll do this particular thing, but I think we will eventually do a love story between Transformers. What does a love story mean? Definitely not sex, maybe not even kissing, but the idea that they would have that emotional crush has never really been brought in. That’s kind of the direction we’re going to try to head into, which is to give them human desires that, up until now, we haven’t seen much of. I think that will change the relationship with the Transformers. So we may do some wild action, we’ll do action for sure in the main line, but it’s a different kind of attempt. I know we will hold on to a lot of the lessons from Bumblebee.
