Michael Bay to direct TF4 - Peter Cullen returns as Optimus

[Megatron]

It's good that Cullen is staying on as Prime, Maybe if we all bitched enough we could get ol' Frankie in as Megs?

Yessss... pleaseeee. Even if they just brought Megs back... It would just about almost make me forgive Bay and his filming style.

Imo ROTF & DOTM were really bad movies so I could pick them apart all day. But the thing that bugged me the most about them was that Megatron, the baddest mofo Cybertron had ever seen, was someones bitch. He played second fiddle to both The Fallen and Sentinel Prime.

That s$%t don't fly with me. So yeah, keep him dead.

I really like when he is not characterized as a one dimensional, predictable, invulnerable character - that's boring and doesn't allow for growth of said character. Why should he be fixed in a stereotype? I want him to return for TF4.

Problem is, Hasbro's most marketable Decepticon/Evil(tm) character (to the general public, which is where most of their profit comes from) is Megatron. As frustrating as it may be, don't be surprised if he is resurrected, again. No other Decepticon is as well known by non-fans than Megatron. We may think Galvatron, Unicron, Starscream, Soundwave or Shockwave would be worthy leaders or main villains, but the first two are unknown to the general public, while the last three are just as dead as Megatron... so resurrecting one but not allowing for another, wouldn't make much sense.
I'm not defending it... just pointing out the reality of a multi-billion dollar, multi-national franchise that will always put first, the chance to make profit over what makes sense in a story (or the dedicated fans). It's just the way capitalism works, and we just have to make the most of any easter eggs they throw our way in the process.

YaY!! I hope you're right! While they're at it I hope they bring back Starscream, Soundwave and Shockwave as well... (and Jazz, would be nice too). I just don't want a TF movie without these guys, so I hope they resurrect them all.
