Tyrese Gibson predicts the return of M. Bay and Shia LaBeouf for TF4

Posted by First Gen Sep 20, 2011 at 2:10pm CDT 61,305 views
For fanatics of the Transformers live action movie franchise, here are some comforting words of prediction from film star Tyrese Gibson (Sgt. Epps). According to an interview posted at MovieWeb.com, Gibson thinks that the return of the duo for a fourth installment is inevitable.

Tyrese Gibson: My humble prediction would be that... we're at $1.1 billion. This is the biggest year of my life. I'm on the other side of $1.7 billion in box office receipts, between both films. I think, with the success of Transformers: Dark of the Moon, both Michael Bay and Shia probably want a break from the franchise, but there's no way, I believe, that, at some point, they're not going come back to do Transfomers 4. Maybe they need a few years to get a few other creative things out of their system, which is understandable, but for people to love this franchise around the world like they do, it's damn-near crazy to not give the fans what they love and enjoy again. So maybe two years, maybe three years will go by, you never know, but I believe, and hope, that we are able to do another Transformers. I'm a real Transformers fan, outside of the fact that I'm in the movie, but I just hope we're able to do it again one day. It's the first film in Paramount's 99-year history that has ever grossed $1 billion. I hope we're able to figure this out.

Too much money at stake, TF4 is coming with or without the old crew.

My honest guess is that there will be a new Director and main character. Prime is millions of years old, we wont be held down by some 20 something kid.

I bloody well hope not. LaBeouf I'm not all that fussed about either way, but Bay's got a director's chair waiting for him in a special circle of hell.

Tyrese Gibson is enthusiastic but often times offers more hype than truth.

Exactly.

In Tyrese Gibson's mind if there is not another Transformers movie, He'll be out of hollywood, plain and simple. If Transformers hadn't happened, he would have probably started doing straight to dvd movies..HE needs Tf4 to happen..

This is the point in a franchise where the desire to make money should yield to the desire to make a good movie, and all the old crew can gracefully exit on a high note and allow a new crew to take over and do a better job.

I love this and it is sound reasoning. I do beleive that they should do a Trilogy of 4,5, and 6. Plot it out beginning to end and punch them out back to back Lord of the RIngs style. And I got the plan man....

TF4 = Heralds of Unicron. The Space Bridge in 3, travels through time and space, actually sent the majority of Cybertron back in time and far across space, twisted the inhabitants, merged many of their sparks and created UNICRON! The modern time warp finally makes Unicron aware fo the location of the humans that caused his pain's planet (Earth, duh) and he sends his heralds to go prepare for his arrival. Part of the preparations is the gathering of dead protoforms on our planet (Unicron needs the extinguished sparks as he cannot manipulate functioning ones). Dinobots and Insecticons get introduced as having been buried on this planet for centuries, lost at the time of the Primes (their workers on the Harvester) but their Protoforms can no longer change and they have traditional gold/gray/red and black/purple/yellow coloring due to not having a lot of options on how to repair themselves from being trapped on Earth and are uncovered by mistakenly being thought of as dead. The factions are treated almost as religious factions (by emphasising the choice that they make) and many Decepticons help the Autobots as they feel the taking of Megatrons Body to be Sacrilege. The Autobots and a small band of Decepticon allies beleive they have defeated them at the end.

TF5 = Unicron Approaches. Unicrons newest (most powerful) heralds are created and dispatched, these would be Galvatron and his Sweeps (the sweeps ore not countless Scourge clones but individual characters). In answer to the power that is Galvatron and the Sweeps, Ratchet creates an exoskeleton ("Ironhide would have loved to get his hands on that"). A small ship of religious and pacifist Autobots arrive led by their Magnus (a religious title like a Bishop), Dion (one of the crew is a young, but not childish Autobot named Rodimus). Prime is heavily damaged in battle and Dion realizing that pacifism is not working merges himself with the Exoskeleton to become The Ultra Magnus. Unicron arrives at the edge of our Solar System and destroys the pacifist Autobot base on Pluto. It ends where Galvatron is damaged and the control Unicron has on him broken, Ultra Magnus is also beat up really bad, Optimus is beat down but healing, and Unicron is looming.

TF6 = The Battle of Unicron. Unicron arrives at the moon. Galvatron decides that he is again Megatron, and wants revenge against Unicron for trying to control him. Galvatron also wants revenge against the Prime and the Autobots for killing him, he splits his forces against the Autobots and Unicron and Prime has to do the same in Defense. Ultra Magnus commands the Earth bound troops fighting the Decepticons, but after a major defeat realizes he is no military leader and allows a young Rodimus to take command. Prime leads the assault on Unicron and after fighting each other to a stand still, Megatron realizes his vendetta against Unicron is priority (he can kill Prime later, but needs a home for the time being). He takes Prime to the Harvester, but attacks him from behind in an attempt to claim the Matrix (which will activate it) for himself. Just before Megatron can use the Matrix, Rodimus arrives, reveals himself to be a decendant of the Primes (theirs a shocker), battles Megs, retrieves the Matrix and Uses the Harvester to destroy Unicron (as "YOU GOT THE TOUCH..." is playing in the back ground).

I got more ideas and would be happy to contribute to the production freely, I don't want any credit, I'm a fan, I just want to see these made!

That's a paddlin.

As much as I enjoyed the movies I do hope they give it a few years before the next one.

Bull crap!
Come on guys, seriously. Am I the only one to have to say this.

We've been played. The entire franchise has been secreted on. I cannot believe you guys still want to see another Hollywood movie about The Transformers.
Dotm was simply appalling, it was a mess. I was so disappointed from that s**t movie that I didn't even bother to see it again, and that is saying something, I saw 1 and 2, at least 3 times in theatres, and that's not counting it's other iterations.
I am a tf fan. I acknowledge many of you are more fans then i am. But in terms of credibility, I have it, so allow me to speak my mind before you jump to a flame war.

Dotm could have been a tremendous film, it had all the basics laid out. Who here did not feel goosebumps when they saw Cybertron in that first scene? At last we saw it, and they left it behind, to only destroy it at the end. Forcing the notion that Earth is better than cybetron. I freakin love cybertron, I miss it so much. We never get to see it, and when we do ,they erase it from existence. (I'm assuming it's gone by the way, self evident that it kind of imploded upon itself, with no evidence elsewhere that it survived)...(I'm also sticking strictly the movies by Bay, nothing more, no novels, comics, or any other arcs). I don't even know where to start, they killed every single decepticon, actually, Optimus killed every one. He was insane! He went on a killing spree rampage. Too much if you ask me. He was more like a murderer. Megatron saved his life and ops kills him without a second thought. All Optimus cared about was stupid earthlings. Sure as viewers we are humans, but come on, you doomed your entire race Prime. Sure the action sequences were awesome, and sometimes unnecessary, but it didn't make sense. They hyped Shockwave so much, and he did nothing. They hyped every one, and they did nothing.
Disney movies have better structure than this. It was mindless, with some witty comments here and there at best, TFM trilogy that is.

There was no need for Sentinel Prime to fight Optimus, he is the autobot leader. What does this teach people and kids, just kill every one and you will be ok? If you disagree with your boss/leader, KILL THEM. If he's the Einstein of your race, maybe you should listen to the mofo. Einstein came up with the theory of relativity and many more. Do we throw that down the toilet, if he says, no I think we should do this.

There is soooooo much I can talk about this movie, so many mistakes, and broken dreams by fans. They broke our dreams in first movie, when they did not show enough transformers footage. In second one, they pulled a stupid trick , where they kill and resurrect the same characters. Op and megs, It's as if they couldn't handle the responsibility of killing Prime, so to appease the kids/parents/ etc, they bring him back at the end. Believe it or not, killing prime , and megs in the G1 movie , was what gave it substance and what gave it strength.

I'm not just a g1 fan. I would want the movie to portray more of the magic of transformers, not what some big shot director thought of it. He said the 3rd film will be completely different, it wasn't , it was the same. In fact it was worse. when I thought Megatron lived in the end of rotf, he will be a key player in 3, and we will see finally decepticons at their best. But nope, that did not happen.
Hell, a movie about minicons would be better.

Where I'm getting at this is, I do not want a 4th movie, you've had your chance. You blew it big time. I don't want to be hyped up for another year to be disappointed, or have a reaction of "meh", it didn't blow me away.

LEAVE TRANSFORMERS ALONE!!!!!! Let the fans make the movie, cause obviously you are doing a mediocre job.

We said the designs are too radical, but we grew to like them. The colors are inaccurate, so we accepted them. The characters are way of their original, we sort of accepted that too. But to completely, kill off every character we cared about (Decepticons, yes we care about them, just as much as we care about Autobots, since they are the ying to the yang) that I do not accept.

Maybe do an animated film, that will give you more freedom and leave the stupid humans out of it. Why is TFP so good, since there is focus on the freaking TFs. Why is TFA good, since there is FOCUS ON THE Transformers, and it was pure genius that they made Sari tech organic. WHY IS BW SO GOOD? SINCE....repeat after me....FOCUS ON THE TRANSFORMERS CHARACTERS.

sigh, I'm just angry at this whole movie thing. To hear there is a 4th one , and by Bay, pisses me off. Bay is only good for patriotic American films, and Tfs have nothing to do with patriotism, they're not American, Jamaican or w/e. They're from Cybertron. You have your themes mixed up Bay. You want to make a movie about America, don't involve TFs, even if the TF is an American franchise, it just looks cheap. Just like Obi Wan in Revenge of the Sith yelling to Anakin "This is about DEMOCRACY". HAHAHAH I did not know democracy existed in a galaxy a long long time ago.

SAY NO TO TF4

If it's a different director, maybe even a reboot, I might consider it, but honestly

fool me once shame on you
you fool me you can't get fooled again.

Plz tf fans, wake up, demand higher quality products, otherwise Tf will always be a mindless franchise designed simply to sell their toys.

Compare TF with Full metal alchemist for example, do the movies even compare to the story of fma? or even, compare Tf as a movie trilogy to Terminator 2, or even compare it to the Dark Knight.

This was all an IMO, and a response to Tyrese.

Don't even think of making a new movie, I don't care how much money. How about making Thundercats, go ruin that, or ruin power rangers or something. Enough damage has been done, let us repair ourselves and move on this era of shame. Ask yourselves this, if you could make a Tf movie what goes in your mind?

I admit Bay did many contributions to the franchise, more realistic transformers, a different megs, starscream, robots, designs, etc. He brought back Cullen, and even Welker. But playing time is over kids, now let's get serious ok?

Thank you for reading

Yeah ... mediocre ... box office takings say otherwise mate.

And trust me. A "fan" made movie? Yeah, the masses are going to turn away from a fan wank.

I'll be blunt to you, and all those others who think they or the fans could do a better job ... you couldn't. You're blind. You're all so wrapped in what you perceive to be your ideal of the perfect movie, you don't look at the bigger picture.

You don't take into account the cost needed to make the movie, and the sort of content the movie needs to not only get a return at the box office, but to also make money. The only way for that to happen is to appeal to a broad audience.

You don't take into account the accompanying toy line and merchandise tie-ins, the marketting campaigns, the licensing deals, all of which goes into making a movie a monetary success.

I'm tired of "fans" going off about how crap the movies were and how they can do a better job, plain and simple, you can't. Deal with it.

Comment by artemis_prime Sep 20, 2011
the only way they could do a 4th movie IMO would be to introduce Unicron.
here's my idea:
shortly after the events of DOTM earth sends the dead decepticons into deep space on a rocket. fast-forward 10-20 years, Sam and Carly are married and have a young son. New autobots include most of the cast from the old G1 movie(hot rod, kup, magnus, springer, etc.)
cut to the rocket with the dead cons, slowly approaching Unicron in his planet form. he revives/reformats them into galvatron cyclonus scourge and the sweeps.
the rest of the movie would basically follow the G1 movie story line. that would be a movie worth watching, as long as they get someone other than Bay to direct it. :CON:
