Rumor mills continue to work for "Transformers 5" and this time, speculations on the robot roster set to put in an appearance in the much-anticipated title have swelled.

A "Transformers" fan page known as Comic Central City has fueled up the buzz by providing the list of alleged Autobots and Decepticons to protract the mean machine war in the upcoming installment. According to the Facebook page as cited by IBTimes, Optimus Prime will pump up his league with mechanoids Ultra Magnus, Red Alert and Override. VC Post reports that Ultra Magnus's inclusion to the line-up roots from his big involvement with — and the emergence of — life-long Transformer villain Galvatron in the last "Transformers" film, "Transformers: Age of Extinction." In turn, the major Decepticon brute, as rumor has it, will get three new lieutenants to join him, namely Cyclonus, Scourge and Blitzwing.

Moreover, the aforementioned androids will be joined by the creator of the whole of the Transformers kin, the Quintessons. Rumors reveal that they will be the pin-up robots' main adversary in "Transformers 5." This only means that the forthcoming film will revisit the then-robot factory Cybertron and even make it a hub to tell the tales of the Cybertronians and their unique origins.

Since "Transformers 5" is a gateway to a trilogy, as what its previous director Michael Bay revealed, fans expect Maximals and Predacons and even Dinobots to materialize. Fans saw this as a possibility of a Beast Wars plot, although reports say that a spin-off for such a big narrative will be more suitable. With that, fans can expect loads of "Transformers" goodness in the coming years.

Apart from this hefty yet unconfirmed information, "Transformers 5" remains no less than a conundrum with details about the new director and actors and even the specific release date still wanting. "Transformers 5" is not scheduled to hit the silver screen until 2016 anyway so niceties will surely be available as the fated day looms. In the meantime, fans can rely on the fact that the upcoming movie is just a starter of a trilogy and that more movies involving the well-loved (and hated) mechanoids will make their way to theaters a few more times.
