    but we got the logo that says "TRANSFORMES 4 " and that what bay and HABRO SAYS!

    so we have to wait for more news for Transformers 4/ trilogy or remake/reboot when we get closer to characters and other stuff for the movie.

    Nuts, I *just* missed it. Guess I'll watch the West Coast feed. I tuned in just when he was admitting that it was actually a real song.

    I kind of wonder if reboot or not is even important? So far the movies have just been a flimsy excuse to get to the next action sequence or to blow up something. The movie ends with just about all the bad guys getting killed because the writers couldn't think of any other way to end a movie. So with the same production team reboot or not it just seems like more of the same only with new human characters to kill the Decepticons.

    Because it's much cheaper to film humans written to specifically annoy you than it is to make an entire movie with the overly complicated TF designs and massive explosions that Bay insists on having.

    Almost. But less entertaining. I suppose all TF4 news could remain unreported until after everyone has seen the movie.

    Wait and see, wait and see.
    And then we'll see what this will be.
    It's too hard to say right now.
    What will happen, why and how?

    Did he whip his large rubber junk out too? :p

    Reboot doesn't mean a different universe either. Batman Begins is a reboot to Batman 89', but both of them were set in Gotham. They may have had different lores, but the term 'universe' mostly refers to setting. Different movies can have different 'takes' of the same universe. If there is ever a Lord of the Rings reboot, it'll have a different take (maybe), but still set in Middle Earth, and hence, the same universe.

    No and wrong. Batman '89 and Batman Begins may both be set in 'Gotham City' but they are VEEEEERRRRRRRRYYYY different Gotham Cities. They are definitely set in different universes. You can say alternate universes or parallel universes, but the point is that they are not in the same universe. At all. They don't share the same timeline. If they shared a universe, you'd be able to say one happened before the other. The events of one movie would be history of the other. But as we know, that isn't the case.

    And no, none of the various takes on Middle Earth... Jackson/Bakshi/Rankin-Bass/whatever else take place within the same universe. Jackson's movies exist in their own shared universe, and everything else has its own. Same setting does not equal same universe. You have that exactly backwards.

    Oh it is logic in the term you said: they reboot it, same continuity, some of the old bots and a new story, such a kind of an update

    Seibertron doesn't know what reboot means either. On their front page they're like, this directly conflicts with director Michael Bay's statement blah blah blah. Real good reporting there.

    I think for Micheal Bay reboot the computer means to kick it again because someone broke his fire wall and stole another script.

    I saw the trailer last night for "Pain & Gain", Bay's next movie.

    I looked at everyone's faces as they asked "what is this shit?"

    I replied: "what to expect for Transformers 4".

    It's not a reboot. It's a re-hash.
    Using leftovers to create another dish. That's all.

    As far as shooting time goes...

    Maybe his part is smaller in it, and therefore he doesn't need as much time to get his stuff in the can. ROTF was a truncated shoot due to the fact that they had to go to production with an incomplete script. It was inbetween drafts due the the writers strike, and frozen in place as a result, but production had to roll forward, hence the big the shiny turd we got.

    He doesn't know as much about the film as Bay does. I guess he got his terms wrong.
