    Too late about f^%king up the franchise butcher bay....you did that once you turned transformers into 2 and half hours of dick n ball jokes and crappy designs and incoherent plots.

    Why do I feel like the only way we'll get a new director for Transformers was if Michael Bay disappeared somehow?

    I have respect for they guy. He tries to improve. Dotm made up for rotf. Sounds like 4 going to be good. I'm glad the Sam story is done. He wasn't needed after the first movie.

    So can this be the only post of its kind in the thread? Can we be done with these idiotic comments now? It stopped being cool and funny long ago.

    I'll buy that he does have an attachment to Transformers, but I know that the only reason he came back is for all the money to be made. I'm looking forward to how extensive these "redesigns" will be...

    Agreed. Haters coming into this thread just to rain on the parade, you're being fucking obnoxious. It doesn't bother me at all that you don't like the movies. But FFS you're only coming in here to whine, bitch, moan, and troll.

    Why the hell do you give a guy the rights to a franchise when he doesn't even know anything about it or like it in the first place!!!!!!!

    New versions of the Camaro and the Corvette are ready for 2014 release. So Bumblebee and Sideswipe are redesigned, I guess. No Ironhide; leaving a space for a new SUV type of Autobot. New Ferrari (LaFerrari) looks cool and almost like the 458. I'm thinking Mirage/Dino will be redesigned along with it. There's a probability of Smokescreen. Hummer is no longer manufactured. Even last time they had a hard time with the vehicle, so an upgrade for Ratchet is expected.

    Can't say what they will do for the Decepticons. Entire Decepticon main cast is dead. I don't see Bay resurrecting them. Hasbro need new toy characters and I'm sure a new line of Decepticons will be there.

    It gets better... Optimus is supposedly being redesigned. I await leaked pics of these alleged "redesigns from top to bottom"...

    When you think about the twins, and the wreckers- I have to wonder if the Newley redesigned Optimus will have a beer gut, beard and be balding.

    I am looking forward to it though- although after DOTM, I'm worried the toys Hasbro produces will be too far beneath the Rotf type stuff to have any business being displayed in the same place. Maybe I won't collect Tf4 stuff? I've got a very nice set of HA and leader customs, I'd rather stop than dilute the quality. Maybe they'll surprise me...

    After the Dino disaster last time (I still want to see the prototypes- model numbers point heavily to them existing)- I really doubt Dino will return as a Ferrari again (unless a deal has been made).

    It's really cool to read about Michael Bay getting excited about Transformers 4. I'm really looking forward to it.

    I doubt Dino will be returning period considering his voice actor passed away.

    Michael Bay just wants a paycheck. Adding more robots isn't going to make it better, redesigning the robots isn't going to make it better. Him being a director again isn't going to make it better. Mark Walhberg isn't going to make it better. The only reason why the movies did so well is because of its established fan base. If Bay listened to fan feedback and got off his pompous horse he would truly make a better movie. I hate to think what else he can screw up. Rodimus?

    Good point. I though about it. Last time we didn't get a toy because Mattel was all fired-up about their Ferrari toy rights. I wouldn't be surprised if Mirage/Dino has a non-Ferrari vehicle mode this time. But I do love the LaFerrari. It looks awesome for a robot. I also have a doubt if Mirage would return. They didn't bring back Jolt for DOTM. Like Dinobot Nuva said... Mirage voice actor passed away.

    Hey, I'm happy he's excited about getting things done and bots redesigned from top to bottom...you gotta wonder if they're going for a more G1 look or just more of the movie designs redeux? Can't wait to see what they do to Optimus.
