Yeah. To give up being part of a near-trillion dollar movie studio because of artistic differences. I'm sorry to say, but there's no amount of self-discipline or elitism this side of Ralph Waldo Emerson or the Dalai Lama that can make me, them or anyone else in this world do that. Remember people, $$$. It's the bottom line. And what makes Bay so successful is that not only does he understand this fact of life, he embraces it and thrives on it like Chuck Norris does on his victims' pain and suffering.

And that just gave me another idea: a movie starring Chuck Norris and directed by Michael Bay.

Five years ago, when that was still funny, maybe. Now? Eh, find a new meme, make a movie about that.

I love all three movies but a fourth movie isn't really possible in my eyes. Every Decepticon was killed, the only way you could continue the series is by preditably bringing elements from season 3 of G1. Or you could come up with a new story but this is Michael Bay we're talking about.

At the end of the day, the last one made a billion dollars, so they won't just leave it like this. Hopefully they will go through with a fourth film but take advantage of its potential. I heard that even Peter Cullen would like to see another movie. For the time being we got Prime and Fall of Cybertron so I'm not going to run out of stuff to do.

Yeah, Chuck Norris is getting old. Still gave me a chuckle, which made it worth posting.

In the previous 3 movies, did Bay work for a fee or a percentage of the box office?

The story is far from over. A brilliant writer could come up with something fresh. Something we haven't thought of.

A good writer could take elements of G1 as mentioned, introduce Gaivatron, Cyclonus and Scourge. Or Jhiaxus from G2. Or a new character. Plus, not all of the grunt drone Decepticons were destroyed. Only the crews in Chicago were pulled back into the event horizon, it didn't show the entire planet.

Sentinel Prime and crew departed Cybertron during the war. Who's to say Decepticons didn't do the same? Makes it very easy to introduce Jhiaxus as A032 said.

I've said it before...I think you can open up a new can of mythos by simply asking the question, "Why did the Fallen turn on the other Primes?" What if it wasn't on philisophical differences? I would submit that you can have a powerful but subtle voice whispering in his ear, turning him away from his brethren with promises of ultimate power and rule. Maybe the other Primes ignored the voice, but he was susceptible. And so he turned. And as such you can begin a story about how Unicron contacted the Fallen and swayed him with promises of power. Unicron can create new characters easily, but the conflict will be the presence of the solar needle on Earth.

I'm pretty sure they made that clear in ROTF. He dd it because he wanted to harvest energon from the sun and he hated humanity, so he turned on his brothers because they wouldn't let him.

I never really saw a hatred of humanity there. Contempt, yes, but not hatred. And my question would be this: why would he want to harvets energon so desperately that he would turn against the other Primes?

Personally I'm disappointed Bays doing the fourth, theres plenty of talent out there and, although DOTM was the best up to now, it had too many Bay-isms in there, all the human scenes were like L'oreal adverts, JUST SHOOT THE DAMN DIALOGUE MICHAEL!! However, where do we go with the 4th??... well I wouldn't be averse to a Dinobot/Beast Wars theme running paralell on another world, Prime intercepting a distress beacon from Maximals and heading to a jungle planet, think Predators with Autobots!!!.. they could get rid of their vehicle modes for this film once they hit the jungle..think of the amount of toys you could shift here Hasbro??
