So after the unmitigated disaster that was The Last Knight, I think we can all agree the movies are in need of a shake up, be it through a full reboot or simply by making sure the next movie doesn't suck. But in the absence of any means to actually have any say in what happens, let's get creative and put our armchair director hats on.
So, comrades, let's suppose YOU were tasked with completely rebooting the movie franchise and starting from scratch. You have full creative freedom and can theoretically do whatever you want with the license, with one single caveat- it has to be an original universe. It can't be an extension of G1 or the "old" movieverse or a live-action IDW or whatever- you have to make your own story. Obviously, you CAN borrow names, characters and concepts from existing fiction, because it IS Transformers. Beyond that, anything goes. Genre, effect types, cast, age rating, setting, whatever. This is an ideal world after all.
Budget isn't a concern here (unless you want it to be). You can pick anyone to be involved as long as they're actually alive. You can either pick a director (and stay on as "creative director") or alternatively you can just assume through the power of imagination that you're doing all the directorial work.
So with all that out of the way, what would YOU do?
(I'll post my own idea eventually, I was going to include it here but it got rather long)
Ha ha Transformers go brrrrr
