Proposed Transformers timeline for next 4 years

Someone at TFW has come across an unsecured storage folder on an Australian website of a license-holder... and a lot of sensitive info has now been pillaged, which means someone in Australia is again gonna get in a bit of trouble from Hasbro America.
(this is why if you ever have sensitive, in-company use only files, always have them in password protected folders or servers, because once they leak, they can never be "un-leaked")

Most of it is Movie related, so avoid if you are sensitive to spoilers, but there is a slide show that has detailed a rough timeline outline from 2013 to 2017.

2013 Q3 - Beast Hunters & Construct-Bots
2013 Q4 - Predacons Rising & Predaking toy
2014 Q1 - Beast Hunters DVDs & TF4 trailer
2014 Q2 - Movie toys on shelf (May 1st - old date) & Movie in theatres (June 27th)
2014 Q3 - TF4 Movie
2014 Q4 - TF4 Movie DVD & "Animated Stunt" (something in advance of the main cartoon)
2015 Q1 - Animated (new cartoon)
2016 Q1 - Animated (2nd year/season)
2017 Q2 - TF5 (three year gap again)

Looks like the suggestion of the 5th movie coming out in 2015 were indeed false. (it means Nikko RC cars' license runs out before TF5 comes out)

One thing I found interesting, is a number of TF4 Movie artworks were water-marked with "Aaron Archer" and a late 2012 date... which would mean these were some of the last things he had his name on before leaving Hasbro.

I feel really bad for whoever Aileen is (if it is a person at Vilsco), as I can imagine that Paramount and Hasbro will not be too happy with all this secret info being leaked.

Also note, for anyone browsing through the Vilsco site (which has quite a few sub-folders), there are a lot of merchandise proposals/ideas... which may or may not eventuate.
Most are computer & device related, and some look nicely done (one set of earphones that have the volume controller in the shape of the Movie Optimus swords, in a metallic deco).
