Transformers could use a reboot. Glad to hear Bay is moving on.  Let him go and urinate on TMNT now.  Leave Transformers to some one else to helm.   

Oh god no Mossy, I love TMNT and can't stand they are not making them turtles in this new movie. God do they have to screw with everything? LOL.

i was going to add a comment but i didn't want to derail the thread...

Violator:  Hey man, I totally missed the article on black panther, I'll have to check it out!  But to let you know, Ryan is committed and excited to do Deadpool, he says it's he only thing keeping him in shape!  He agreed and committed a long time ago, it's been in the studio hands ever since and as far as he knows, it's been waiting for The Wolverine to get going first, now that that's happening I'd say expect some updates to be announced soon.  He's the one who told me the real reason behind G.I. Joe being delayed, he was almost in that movie but declined at the request of the people behind Deadpool, I take that as good signs!

mossy, lazarus:  I totally forgot Bay is involved in the TMNT project!!  I have to say I'm pretty partial to TMNT and I'm pretty bummed about the direction Bay might take it......but then again, he might re-define it in a good way?  I dunno.......I try to be optimistic.......I think I like Bay when he isn't doing pre-existing genre material......I wish he'd go back to that........Bad Boys 3 needs to get made....... 

I am extremely skeptical about Bay leaving Transformers alone.  He is in the business of making blockbusters with lots of explosions- period.  He doesn't care about stories, and never has.  He's just not the creative type.  He uses tried and true Hollywood formula that puts all the focus on spectacle and big name actors. 

What's Bay going to do instead?  A Victorian era period piece featuring a heartfelt look at the inner struggle of a tragic figure who's pained by inner termiol of being forced to choose between their one true love and sworn duty to God and country, perhaps?  I think not.

The difference between a faggot and a fridge is that a faggot doesn't moan when you pull out the meat.....THAT is funny....and I am gay....people need to chill out and learn to take a joke....I make fun of everyone and everything.....life is not short not to laugh at everything......and I am pumped for another Bay Transformers movie,,,,I enjoyed them all

 I like Bayformers. I'm just dreading the comment section when this film is released. Lazarus it doesn't make you intelligent when you use disrespectful words to people. Be nice. Be positive. Is that so liberal? Stay black.

I gotta agree with thezillaman on this one.....people make these out to be the worst movies ever made.  Let's take a good look here, in this economy and the continued rise of  ticket prices.....these so-called horrible movies would never make that much money.  You can't tell me that the only people seeing these movies are kids who don't know any better......and I'm pretty sure that there isn't a Blu Ray library out there that doesn't have a least one of these films in it.  Bay has been making movies for a while now and his films have always consisted of  large guns, hot women and big explosions and Transformers is no exception. If you walked into those theaters thinking that those movies would be anything other than 30 ft robots beating the tar out of each other with people running and screaming and large explosions.....than you my friends deserve whatever disappointment you got.  I really can't knock Bay on these movies because they're exactly what I thought they would be. The movies are a lot of people's guilty pleasure, Bay can make another movie if he wants......I bet my last bottom dollar there'll be a line around the block to see it opening night.  "The Transformers movies SUCK!"  Come on people who are we kiddin here....we friggin love'em!

 Ba can "set up" whatever he likes. Unless he is directing the next flick or on as a producer whoever takes it over will likely just go his own way and do his own thing depending on the amount of control they are allowed. Which is what Bay himself would have done had he gotten the franchise from someone else.

It isn't like Bay's films have stressed characters or contimuity to a point that anyone would miss- or even notice- if it was suddenly changed. Heck, he is doing that himself with the fourth if he is to be believed.

I am still holding my ban for watching TF3.  Can somebody summarize it for me with spoilers?
