I watch Spill.com movie reviews on Youtube and during their review of the first Transformers movie, they said "If it were in an open area like the desert, you'd think, "Damn, that was some silly Bulls**t."

I kind of agree with that. I LOVE seeing major cities get torn apart by giant robots that are fighting. To me, that NEVER gets old.
For me, it's simply this:

I can go watch any typical disaster movie and see cities being destroyed. I can also watch any generic alien invasion film. Though there's a place for city destruction in Transformers, I also like to think of TF as being different than those.

While I enjoyed the Mission City fight and the highway chase and Dread fight (those three are my personal favorites - due to all the Autobots fighting in them and not just Prime), the forest fight scene in ROTF is generally heralded as the best fight scene in the series - the background is clean and the focus is one the trio of Decepticons and Prime, with only Sam running around.

There was also a sizable city battle in the first TF, and in DOTM we had a city invasion and tons of destruction - another city being taken over/destroyed in TF4 would be redundant, especially after DOTM. Something different would be the way to go, if I were making them. But then again, if I were making them....the sequels would have turned out a hell of a lot differently.

They should fight at a coastal area next.

This. It's all about variety. We've had three "final battles", two of which have been in a populated downtown city area. One was an open desert/shack/pyramid area. Spice things up. If they choose to end TF4 with another giant final battle, I'd prefer to have it take place not in a city; the ocean, the air, mountains, or even a coastal area like the poster above me suggested. I've said it before and I'll say it again; with the extreme repetition/formulaic pattern these movies display, the fewer things that follow the same battle, the better. "Oh, look, another downtown city battle."

new york is outdated, every destruction movie and war-themed video game has shown the city f*cked up for the last 20 years...switch it up some. Plus its TF4, if this is to be seen as like, a restart while continuing the story, we can't expect every next movie to destroy another city. Mission City wasnt even that wreck =/.

We just did a city... Maybe the Grand Canyon, like what was pitched for the first film?

I would think a coastal battle would be cool... even though animating water splashing around dozens of robots would be hell on Earth. Maybe the Arctic or a tundra? The volcano fight in Prime was pretty damn cool.

It's not like they're gonna come and actually blow up your family. Personally I'd love it if Transformers came to my town in a movie and wrecked it and fire-bombed my family. In real life, of course not, but in a movie then go ahead and have right at it.

Funnily enough when I was considering how cool it would be to have my town a Transformer battleground I was thinking since I live right on the coast it would be something different to do too.
