The point of the Star Wars prequels was the downfall of Anakin and the Jedi as well as the journey to becoming Darth Vader, the pointlessness was a big point in of itself and it's not like the Original movies were bloody despised by the fandom.
I doubt the next Transformers films if they are prequels will set up the exact same thing like the downfall of Jazz or the tragedy of Shockwave the wise becoming Shockwave the idiot monster.
People wanted to see the Star Wars prequels because the originals were good films and were actually able to get people invested in the universe of that franchise, The Bay films are hated by fans and casual audiences alike besides a minority (not a small one per say but still a minority) and I doubt many people actually wanted a prequel
I doubt any of the Transformers "prequels" will even acknowledged a single thing from the Bay films (Bee was already in production as a prequel don't use this film as an example) so why bother hanging on?
There is so much baggage associated with these films, literally the best thing to do is to refresh and reboot, otherwise they will drag these movies down in the long run.
(Bumblebee is a good movie but it's a pretty damn bad prequel movie with it's clash of aesthetics and disregard for all of the live action films besides the first one for it's continuity.)
