    Wow. What's with all the Bay haters? I'm so tired of hearing how "Michael Bay ruined my childhood memories" blah blah blah. AGH it drives me insane. You should be thanking him for bringing in so much money to the franchise that it will continue strong for many more years.

    It continued strong for twenty-three years without him and will continue strong well after Bay blows himself up.

    You'll just have to suffer another Bay movie then! :-P AND you'll get to suffer another movie that sequels whatever Lord Bay makes for us.

    So you don't like Bay's work? Tell me it's worse than Beast Machines and it's "magnificent" ending. LOL

    Compared to the end of Dark Of The Moon, a one-second final 'battle' where Optimus Prime kills Megatron in cold oil? Every Bay film so far has been leagues worse than Beast Machines. Compared to ROTF and DOTM, Beast Machines is a masterpiece. I have watched Beast Machines through from beginning to end several times and have never been able to stomach a Bay movie more than once. Beast Machines is intelligent, philosophical and actually about Transfomers, whereas the Bay movies are about humans and bodily functions.

    So are you saying that no matter how poor a Transformers movie is, we should be thankful as long as it generates large volumes of cash for the franchise?

    Either way, I couldn't care less about what happens outside of the films. Like any other movie, I'll judge it according to what happens on that silver screen for the 90+ minutes of run-time, without any Transformers fan bias. I don't hate Michael Bay (why would I?) but I did think RotF and DotM were very poor films.

    His formula for Transformers films seems to be this: Spend a hell of a lot of money on special effects, so much so that it will gloss over any shortcomings in the script (this is the main attraction, like the 'hook' in a popular song). Second to this - add high profile actors, toilet humour and over-sexised women (we're really targeting a huge demographic now). Third? Profit!

    The sequel formula? Make it BIGGER and BETTER (technically of course, not the script obviously). I'm talking more butt shots, more explosions, more ILM tech-demo's pasted in, so many Transformers on screen at once that little Timmy who could barely recognise who was who in TF1's head will be spinning so fast, he won't know what hit him.

    Yeah Bay did not save Transformers or anything of the sort. That is just Bay's own self promoting ego.

    Bring it on! I am happy with the news, even though I cringe through most of the movies I can just roll with it all. The highs and the lows of Transformers I liken to a toy soap opera and I am addicted. The Bayverse is just another interesting part of the fascinating Transformers brand and industry. So long as a movie, tv series or toy issue doesn't tank the entire brand and leave us with another Transformer hiatus then I can contain the rage, keep watching and do what the giant robuts tell me

    I'm easily pleased, I'm just happy seeing gigantic robots on the big screen in a way that looks realistic, even though the toys are hideous. As long as Prime is back, I'm happy. I would also be keen to see Galvatron happen. Sometimes I daydream about what the animated movie would be like if done in the live action style.

    Here is my plot prediction based on what we have seen so far from Bay:

    - Annoying comedy moments with the latest uninspired actors.
    - Some new bimbo who is only there for the porn shots but can't even act her few lines.
    - The odd 1-3 second appearance of some non Bumblebee or Prime Autobot.
    - About 1 or 2 minutes of Prime and Bumblebee acting completely out of character or saying mindless crap (Bee will just beep or something).
    - Some Mcguffin that they need to take away from the Decepticons
    - Megatron being slapped around by the latest unnecessary new villain.
    - 50 minutes of a nonsensical badly cut action sequence in which Prime kills everybody that was just minding their own business (don't worry kids, they'll appear again in the next scene without explanation).
    - The latest main human kid (or some other human) just looks at the villain or throws a rock or something killing him off screen.
    - Prime walks by Megatron, kills him while he was just sitting down and then says a speech on how all life is sacred.

    The End.

    Post Movie:

    Another failed toy line filled with Bumblebees and Primes that nobody wants but the moment something good is announced, it gets cancelled.

    Then it's another rinse and repeat for the next movie...

    You know what the crazy thing is? I will probably be spot on in what I predict in this completely sarcastic half assed post. We have seen it all before after all.
