Shia LaBeouf also commented on the possible Transformers comeback.

"It would be good to do another film but I doubt with the new changes since the third film that Megan could return you know, it might be a love war if me or Rosie both return you know its not that i don't think about it." He adds, "But no, I highly doubt I'll be back for another one. I'll do another Michael Bay film but not Transformers."

 E!News has reported that Fox might come back on board if she was asked.

"If [Bay] ever wanted me to do a cameo like assembling an autobot motorcycle in a bike shop or something like that, I would totally do it".

According to reports from Entertainment Weekly, Bay explained the possibilities of the new Transformers trilogy.
