They can totally come up with a 4th film. Who needs Bay. All they need to do is get a GOOD story, create a new bad ass bad guy someone that Megs sent out into the other side of the universe who came back to find out what transpired, or bump someone up the ranks, and there you have it!! Not to mention you still have the Combaticons, the Stuticons, there are soo many to chose from.

 

it would be only logical to make a 4th movie

in the transformers universe they still have the dino bots, galvatron, and unicron to do there has to be a 4th

 

As long as there is money to be milked from the franchise then there will always be a new film.

 

Nope a reboot will not happen. you can quote me on this. Its going to be a fourth. trust me. and it will be sooner than we all think. it may have a new cast and director though, which is kinda sad for me. But as long as its in the same movie verse thats better...

 

Out of curiousity, what makes you so sure it won't be a reboot?

 

I wouldn't mind to see TF4 if it's done well, but I'm curious about a reboot or a prequel.

 

tf4 be like japanese headmaster series with trainbots , six knight and etc

 

Nope. No reboot. (as clues lead us to it, it looks like it WONT be a reboot, which im completely glad) Cause if there was a reboot, what was the point in watching these autobots & allies struggle and go through everything? I dont know about you guys, but reboots just don't fly with me. Not just movies that i am a big fan of, like transformers, ALL MOVIES. It's like, why did you waste your time caring about these characters, if the plot is going to be erased and start over a few more times? Nope. NO NO NO NO! i dont want these movies to end like that. That's stupid. We have g1, beast wars, Prime, and the movies. Different versions. BUT NO REBOOTS. that's stupid in my opinion. We need the same optimus going on, the same bumblebee, and the same autobots. it needs to happen this way, or a certain someone may not be interested and come on these boards as much (me!) lol

but luckily, i dont think thats going to happen.

 

i Hope its a Reboot, the bayformers continuty have already run its course, had one of the main cons survived (Like Megatron, Starscream, Soundwave and/or Shockwave) and/or there was a scene hitting to a fourth movie (like in movie 1 we had Starscream escaping and in ROTF we had Megatron saying "this is not over") i would accpet tf4, but since none of those things happened i dont accept a fourth movie, Also If DOTM was never, EVER promoted as the final battle of the autobots and Con i would had accepted TF4 aswell, but it was promoted as the final battle, so i dont accept it

Rebooot PLEASE

 

CONTINUING PLEASE. OR YOU GUYS WILL LOOSE LOTS OF MONEY TOO. hahaaha
a lot of people DONT like or even accept reboots. cause its like, what was the point of going through all that hard work to set up a movie verse?!?! and what was the point of caring to watch these autobots if theyre just going to be easily replaced. i guess you guys accept your favorite characters as REPLACEABLE

 

What?

 

It's called a plot, and every plot has an ending, get over it.

 

Put it forward 50 years, kill off Optimus Prime and bring in roddy  

 

I'm other words, make a fanwank movie. And killing off Optimus AGAIN would be just cheap. It's already a running gag that Optimus Prime dies a lot in almost every continuity.

 

Fine put it forward 50 million years, Optimus Died of old age and Roddy is in charge

 

yep everything have a END

i am a big movie fan liek Samwitwickygirl is, but The movies have to End, and DOTM needs to be the End, they cant continue with the movie contintuy Forever!

 

In the words of Simon Furman: it never ends

 

Everything has to refesh eventually in one way or another or people get bored of it and abandon it. Some may hope that just a new story with (mostly) the same characters would be refresh enough but it doesn't work that way once things start to get too samey. There are very few things in the entertainment world that can continue with the same thing time after time and still make good bank. Even the wonders of one billion plus bank BayFormers can't escape it. The general public will become jaded and as certain people love to regularly tell us the Transformers fandom makes barely any real dent in creating the fortunes of the toys or movie takings. The general public is where the proper cash is at and banging out movie after movie without properly shaking things up after a while that public will move onto other fresher things.

Personally I do reckon the Bay version could probably endure for another couple of movies if it does something clever to take the 'been there, seen that' dull edge off of repeating. Switching out the director while still staying within the Bay-created universe and characters and style could be enough to help too. But eventually there will have to be a bigger change made or the movie franchise will likely just lose the support it's gained from the general public.

Would TF4 happen without Bay? There's entirely no reason why it couldn't. Would be it better, worse or the same if it did? Financially or in terms of storytelling quality? Those are definitely the unknowns. But there's very little chance of it always making the huge sums DotM did if very little of anything else changes over the next set of movies. The problem is Bay likes his 'Bay Style' a lot and keeping him would also mean things will stay not very far from what there already has been. Transformers is all about change. Rabid BayFans that will see a BayFormers movie no matter what cannot prop up any TF movie that the general public have become bored with the style of. Would those fans like to see BayFormers go out with a whimper at the very end because it kept pumping out that format regardless or how stale it gets with the people that actually spend the most cash on the cinema tickets? Or would they prefer that they can look back on the Bay movies with pride and say 'Those were always financially successful and went out on a high note'? If I was a BayFormers fan I know which option I'd choose when considering the reality of how the whole movie franchise life thing works.

 

Once you grow up and have seen the start and end of multiple cartoons, you get used to and understand the need for reboots.

 

michael bay said the same thing about not returning in tf3, but after they brought out that money, michael changes his mind quickly so yeah it will be directed by bay
