Satire - Micheal Bay Announces 'Optimus Dies, Rodimus Rules' For Transformers 5

In a rather subtle piece of satire appearing on National Report - a political "news" site that seemingly dances right on the razor's edge of Poe's Law - "Micheal" Bay (whose name is not spelled correctly once) spoils Transformers 5 for us by announcing that he'll be killing off Optimus Prime and replacing him with Rodimus. Keep reading for an excerpt and a link, which may include Age of Extinction Spoilers!!

Pressed for more details Bay revealed this:”Optimus Prime has served his time. He is old news. He dies heroically in battle, but it is time for leadership to be passed on to a new generation. We will be introducing a new Autobot known as Hot Rod. He is young and hip and sometimes doesn’t think things through, just like Bumblebee. But he will have to learn how to lead what remains of the Autobots against Galvatron and his army of Decepticons.”

Shocked by the huge scoop that I had just received I pressed a little further. In the latest movie, It is hinted that Optimus Prime left Earth to find his makers. Does he find them before he dies?
“Oh yeah, of course. That’s where the movie starts. Prime makes it to the creators known as the Quintessons. They are less than pleased to see him and well I can’t give you the whole movie. But that is where he meets Hot Rod who later becomes Rodimus Prime.” said Bay.

Well, I think most of us saw this coming, although the other 95% of people who will watch TF5 didn't, and probably will have no idea about the Quintessons and will probably be upset that Optimus Prime dies. ( Though he did return later in the series, but then again, I don't think the general public will be too happy about ( or even aware while ) waiting for TF6 for Optimus to come back. ) This is going to be interesting to see how everyone who isn't aware of the 1986 film reacts...
