Ha!

I might slag off a lot of things in the movies, but Duhamel isn't one of them. Granted if it is a reboot, it'd make little sense for him to be in it, but he and his soldier boys were the best GI Joes we've gotten in a Hasbro film so far.

For real. Transformers 2007 was a better G.I. Joe movie than G.I. Joe was.

Totally have to agree with that. I think having the combination of Josh and Tyrese in the films was what made some of the scenes not just tolerable but actually enjoyable. I don't think anybody else could have pulled off that scene of "ejecting" the Defense Director out of the back of the C-130 in RotF quite as well.

Like I said before, it's just too darn soon to do a re-boot, especially with the same team of Bay and Spielberg calling the shots. This is going to be a suck-fest and this is coming from someone who has been open minded throughout the whole Movie Series.

Wow. I was unaware of the fandom's rabid following of Mr. Duhamel.

Seriously though, that was just the first thing that went through my mind when I read the news article. The name Josh Duhamel hardly carries the kind of weight that would confirm the existence of a new movie, especially when he only said that certain people weren't going to be in it.

I think it's more that I try to focus on the good things in those films and there were so few, that they really stand out.

one of the few good actors in the series and hes probably not going to be in it, if cutting him means a potentially good movie than so be. the way the headline was titled i thought they were going to pull a G1 3rd season or Beast Wars/Beast Macjines style reboot, same universe new characters &/or location. Rather have a total redo, really hope the transformers look like transformers this time around and is actually based in reality not in a reality where a car goes into a blender then comes out a giant robot.

Like anybody else who probably just looked at this I skipped to the last page and assumed that everyone has already stated something along the lines of what I'm about to haha. Bay said on his website that its going to be a reboot of the whole franchise and I heard that the only 2 for sure characters are going to be Optimus and Bumblebee which means that it could go a million different ways. I think starting with new human characters would be a good thing mainly because you can change up the whole way that the Autobots and Decepticons make their way to Earth. Either way I'm stoked for a 4th film reboot or not.

I say:
Reboot and emphasize more on the bots and less on the humans. Give the transformers vehicle modes that have more to do with their g1 counterparts and bring some BW characters in. The last movie seemed rushed and was not done with much love.

While I'm happy to hear about the possibility of a reboot, I'm not happy about Michael Bay returning. It just seems to me that rebooting is pointless with Bay still at the helm. I enjoyed Duhamel in the trilogy, as well as some of the other major actors, so I'm sorry to see them go, but I guess it wouldnt make much sense to have the same actors in a reboot. I'll probably miss Shia the most, I really thought he played a fantastic Witwicky.

Totally agree. Hearing the phrase reboot is meaningless with Michael Bay directing.

Reboot it, make it totally digital (who cares about human actors), bring unicron and don't call it transformers 4. Call it... transformers the (new) movie?

Yeah, ROTF was pretty bad, you may have missed the third movie called Dark of the Moon. Despite underusing Shockwave, I really enjoyed it. For me it found the perfect balance between human and Transformer action.

Personally, I don't mind if the movie isn't a continuation of the other movies. Everyone gets bogged down in sequels that they can become boring and tired looking. We have to move past the fact that a movie franchise by the same director and crew doesn't have to relate to past movies created by them.

Reboot - ok, sequel - ok.

Honestly, I would like to watch a movie where autobots and decepticons were not described as good and evil but rather the cybertronian versions of athenians and spartans.
