He probably wrote the script on a napkin while he was waiting for his lunch.

or when he was in the loo?

Bay had full reign on ROTF and it shows - It's more Michael Bay than Transformers. In the first movie you still see the Bay factor in it but you also see more restrain and a bit of a Speilbergesque influence which is completely lacking from ROTF.

Not that I approve of the max bay factor but I don't see a speilbergesque influence as a great improvement.

Heres hoping they stop at III

It's been confirmed by Orci that he and Kurtzman are not coming back to TF3 - Here is a hint to why:

i know in the creative process, especially with someone as strongheaded as mr bay, there were things you were came to blows with scriptwise. im hoping ehren fights valiantly for making the humor a bit less crude, one of the oddest things about revenge of the fallen were how many parents I heard wouldnt take their children to see it.

I can't blame them.

Even if Orci and Kurtzman don't write TF3 it doesn't mean that Bay will. They'll probably get new writers to replace them; and I don't think any new writer(s) should be judged till we see the next movie. Then of course, it still boils down to how much Bay will tamper with the script. Directors and actors deviating from the script isn't necessarily a bad thing... but history has shown that with Bay it's often not a good thing and it's probably best if he didn't. :/

Unfortunately the writers are not allowed to write their own story, they have Bay on top of them dictating what he wants to see in the film. It's not as if the writers hand over the script for Bay to shoot, Bay is heavily involved in the writing process and influencing the script with his own stupid ideas.

Exactly!

Look how much control Bay had over the writers in the first 2 movies... and they were there from the start! Imagine what it will be like for the *new* writer(s) who come in... Bay will feel like he has even more power cos he's "been here since Day 1".

As far as he's concerned, Bay owns Transformers!
