Death Threats Towards Michael Bay

Guess he'd best go End of Evangelion on 'em in the next movie: print the messages on some screens just before Unicron turns everyone to Tang...even though that would make a second sequal kinda' hard

These people are a stain. Granted, the TF fanbase has seen its share of irate opinions lately, but this is f***ing overboard. I may want to vomit looking at "Transformers Animated" Optimus, but I REALLY don't think it's something worth risking imprisonment and/or possible capital punishment over.

what a bunch of losers.
Michael Bay did a fantastic job on the movie. People were cheering and applauding at the sneak previews and early screenings.
The changes he made were necessary and the designs of the robots kick as$.

Truth be told - if you really let these losers have their way and get what they want in a Transformers movie - the movie would probably suck.

That's a pretty good idea, Asderiphel.

I second that! (or is this thirding it?)

You guys do realise you're condemning some of your own fellow Seibertronians right?

Yeah, that's right ... people posted such things about Bay right here in these forums.

Sorry but a public apology would serve what? I for one am not going to apologise for the comments of an idiot.

Death threats are the work of a bunch of interent tough guys.

Yeah Death Threat are a bit harsh. And they didnt work so it was pointless. Protesting yeah ok. Bashing bay on forums, thats ok too but sending a death threat is frakin retarded. Bay did kinda mess up TF (God damn ugly ass heads and scrap pile megatron) but this movie has helped alot more than hurt it. Look at all the TF crap thats out now. remember how hard it was to find things that had TF stuff on it. And we once again got complex figures and objectformers. I dont think that the ones who sent the threats should be banded form TF relate events and sites because they were standing up for what they belive in but they do need to see that sending death threats is way out of line and uncalled for.

Such a thread would only be for those who wish to particpate, so no rights are being condemed.

But, I will admit that you're right in way. I don't think it would do much good.

I've read some posts on the forums as well. Saying it here and sending it directly to Bay is another thing altogether. Though, this does bring up a good point. Where did these threats come from? Were they delivered to him directly or did he just read some crap in some of the forums? If it's the latter, then I think he's making a bigger deal than it really is (besides the fact that no one would enjoy reading bad comments about themselves).

Probably more common in all fan bases than is usually published. We know Bob Skir got some threats for his work on Beast Machines, Bob Foreward and Larry DiTillo probably got a few as well. This is, sadly, not surprising.
