This is the second article I have seen... And to be honest it is not over till Michael Bay says something... Or Paramount announces it...

All speculation and attempts to drive ad revenue... After all did you all click on the IGN link? ;-)

If you read his link, you'd see that that site's source is the same unofficial source as ours: IGN.

NOTHING is confirmed until Bay or Paramount say so.

if this is then :DANCE:

I refuse to believe this until I see a different director physically sitting in the chair calling "action!" on set.
Both Bay and Paramount have thrown curves at us before, I refuse to give them credit until I see it with my own eyes.

This was my emotional reaction.

its not true hes just trolling us again, id like it to be true but i highly doubt it

Thu Oct 30, 2014 4:05 pm

thank u jebus for this.......

i dont want to bash ppl that like the movies.......

but to me they were unwatchable, sexist and just plain dumb

we need someone that understand the tf lore, and give us stories that make sense. and someone who doesnt use the same formula over and over and freaking over......

sure they are robots and stuff blows up, thats cool. But ur telling me u cant tell a good story, theres are thousands! hire the idw guys to write scripts etc!

anyways good bye bay, u sucked and wont be missed by me at all........

For what? Nothing is confirmed. This is the umpteenth time that this rumor has come about, and each time before, it was proven false. We have no word on the validity of this either way.

Thu Oct 30, 2014 4:42 pm

hes not coming back.........thats what ill keep thinking! thanks!

jebus hear me out!

We were told he wasn't coming back for the third movie, yet we got DOTM.

We were told he wasn't coming back for the fourth movie, yet we got AOE.

And now we're playing this same game once again.

Thu Oct 30, 2014 5:12 pm

There is always hope. We can't just give up. Transformers as a franchise deserves something much better.

Sadly, I really can't imagine Michael Bay out now, not in the middle of new trilogy. It dosen't make any sense to return only for AOE. But then again, since when Bay seems to care about common logic?

iirc, like Turtles, he'll be executive producer. Already been leaked since the last film was released.

I see a lot of people being thankful bay may of gone (still not properly confirmed). This is a silly notion as you don't know who they'll replace him with. Now before you say that it doesn't matter who or anyone is better, let's kst think about this. There is plenty of people who they could hire who would do a far worse job then bay, or will be simply be wrong for the job based on their own likes and experiences. Imagine if the person behind the sex and.the city movies did 5?

Wanting someone with knowledge of the TF lore is also a tall order, how many directors do you know of with that under their belt?

Remember, like it or not, the movies have helped the franchise, there loads of kids who love these movies, some of which will delve further into the franchise, if they haven't experienced more of it already with Prime and Rescue Bots.

Don't forget the old proverb, don't count your chickens till they're hatched.

Movie.....suspended belief. Sexist? Btw, you haven't been looking at Sports Illustrated or Victoria's Secret?

I'm not defending how "good" the films are, prefer only the first one but Megan's curves really hasn't left such a big impression on my cod piece. Steve Jablonsky's soundtracks did.

but would they risk hiring someone worse? i mean it earns them a great deal of money wouldnt they want a director that would make them at least the same amount of money or even more?

You know who my wishful thinking pick for a new director would be? Not Christopher Nolan. Not James Cameron. Not Joss Whedon. Not any of the popular choices that are always the instant go-to choices for other folks.

My choice is one who has done primarily animated films, but has recently transitioned into doing live action stuff as well, and has received plenty of critical praise for his work, and has been nonimated for several academy award, and has several of them as well.

My pick is Brad Bird.

Thu Oct 30, 2014 5:38 pm

That is my point, I don't belive that Hasbro would let someone without guts to made a Transformers Movie. There is a lot of not bad directors of action movies, and I belive it's not hard for someone from this grup to made a great Transformers movie with action and a lot of things to attract common audience without ruining the franchise.

I pity the fools who believe that just because Bay might (not confirmed) be gone means that we will get a good movie.

There are many who are worse then Bay and we also still have the rest of the film crew including that turd who dares call himself a writer Kruger.

Plus Bay can do action and lets say the replacement can't make good action and also have a lack of focus on Transformers.

The name is familiar to me, but I can't place it...

*googles*

Now that's a choice I can get behind, and it's not any of the big names

*loves Iron Giant*

Also true that Hasbro wont hire someone to make a bad movie, just like they hred Michael bay in the first place
