Now, Battleship getting sunk (Worse opening weekend than John Carter, ouch!) by The Avengers this past weekend? That might slow down plans for TF4/TF-Reboot. Maybe.
Aw...I liked Battleship.

You have changed nothing. Your petition will fall, Bay will make another movie, you will beg to join us when we get tickets the the midnight premiere of TF4.

Yes, Michael Bay continues to tamper with some of the best 80's cartoon series that ever were. I also think a lot of you fail to realize that without demand, there is no driving force for a product to continue. So if you're contempt with being bent over and spoon fed another movie, more than likely up your ass, then by all means don't sign the petition. I mean its not like petitions to bring back Toonami worked.... oh wait a minute
Yeah, sure, speaking up about something doesn't help. Realize I'm not even a child of the 80's, I'm actually trying to help all of you older folk out there with understanding you deserve better! I mean thank god that the Avengers movie was kick ass to fill in some major gaps, but you can't let yourself get cheated again. Don't be the idiot that lets the hot chick think you're going to get laid, but instead humiliates you in front of everyone. You all have voices, and entertainment driven companies are dependent on what you have to say, but only when "all are one"!
You all have the touch, you all have the power to make change. Take hold of it, work together, and get the Transformers movie you deserve!

Considering that Battleship was only made so Universal could hold onto the license*, I doubt it. Paramount and Hasbro know they have a good thing going with the Transformers films. No amount of critical scorn can stop the series from succeeding. Battleship was just a throwaway effort by Universal and Hasbro got involved because it was their game.
*Note: Studios have done this before. The horrendous Roger Corman Fantastic Four movie, for example, was made so the license to the characters could be held onto. Usually a license to make a film is lost if you don't make one after a certain amount of time. Universal probably considered making a film and getting at least some money out of it better than just dropping money on the license again if it stagnated. The Transformers film series and it's success probably contributed to the plan too.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I know TF is a license to print money, and there's no way they'll give it up, it's just that there's a ton of money (200+ million) tied up in Battleship, and not making that back (at least right away) has got to hurt Universal. Projects in the pipe might find their budgets cut as a result. Barb Wire crashing and burning pretty much took the MST3K movie with it, after all.*Note: Studios have done this before.

Yeah, but Corman's F4 was made on a shoestring budget, and wasn't actually released.

dinojack86 wrote:Man I for one am bummed that Michael Bay is making TF4. I rewatched DOTM last night (after having not watched it for quite some time) and I must say it really isn't that great. I like many others have been blinded by some of the robot action (all 5 mins of it) and have excused the rest of it. After watching DOTM again I can say without a doubt that it is just awful. Why even include Shockwave? Why is Optimus a cold-blooded killer? Why is Megatron sitting in an alleyway watching the action? Too many whys and lapses in logic and just good story-telling altogether.

Don't know if you're trying to be funny or not but I took your comment aimed at me as condescending and uncalled for. Based on your comment I'm pretty sure you won't care what I have to say but if I offended I apologize. I will surely keep you in prayer and hope you learn how to talk like an adult.
God bless
