    Its like Bay can't cast a single person in a movie without fanboys searching to find some sort of racism or sterotype in everything.

    I'm not surprise they are calling for young attractive women to sign up for cast. But they should ask those oil rig guys from the series "Black Gold" from TruTV to be in the movie.

    I have officially lost hope. It's like every movie has to be like an unfunny episode of Benny Hill with Transformers in the background.

    Fixed. I'd like to agree with you about the fact that we're whining about this, and granted, this is probably an everyday occurrence in HollyWeird, but unfortunately we have three prior hackneyed movies to go upon to see what the script writers and director Michael Bay thinks is entertaining to the masses. It's not the first time. And yes, I will go see it, but I can't help but feel that there's a lot of stereotyping that occurs with these big budget productions from the same team. I get it, when you have a formula that looks like National Lampoon, you can attach the name to everything as long as it has some T&A. This is what the franchise movies however are turning into, and it's kind of grating that something we all enjoy that has a completely different meaning is boiled down to 'Run Fatboy Run' (with apologies to Simon Pegg).

    How do you get a Texas type face? Do you smear crude oil and cow patties on it and bake it in the sun for 10 hours? I don't really get it. All the Texans I've seen look like anyone else.

    Very shocking to know Mr. Bay will be exploiting women again!

    I actually think you people would be more happy if the casting call said "We need 400lb, unattractive women. Jeez, it's just a casting call, calm down.

    I wonder if they'll make any King of the Hill references. Yup. :drunk 

    An Oil Rig Transformer would be cool.

    It's funny to me because if Michael Bay was removed from the equation, and some folks here were told to imagine a Texan, it'd be all "Ranchers and cowboys and oil workers, right?"

    Really funny. What exactly does it mean by "all-american?"

    "Fit and attractive"

    "Texan look"

    I see Mr. Bay has not been to Texas.

    I guess Bay took a break on the 3rd film since the 2nd one had enough stereotypes for 2 films.

    Who knows, maybe he caught enough hell for the toothless Arab guy in ROTF that he's trying to make up for it with some toothless hicks down here in the dang ole Lone Star State.

    Giddyup and yeehaw, ya dang yankees.

    All-American Boy

    "This species has seldom been seen and naturalists have considered putting it on the endangered species list. He is marked by his love of baseball, by having a skill with rural machinery and hunting firearms beyond his years, and his propensity to emit sounds like "gee whiz". The All-American boy usually dwells in a Quirky Town within which he is as free as the air, pedaling everywhere on his bicycle. He is naive but charming and always polite, and he treats his elders (who most likely include a Standard '50s Father and a House Wife) with respect. If he has a sibling, it will be an older brother to idolize or a little sister to protect — perhaps both.
    There are variants of this trope. The geeky variant is similarly characterized by ingenuity, self-reliance, and wholesomeness, but he applies his interest to at-home science experiments and the like. The high-school variety wears a letterman's sweater, plays football or baseball, and spends his off hours using his mechanical skills to restore an old car."

    And maybe they are casting ranchers and oil workers because its the primary demographic of a specific small town in Texas? A small town of a few thousand, not a large city like Dallas or Houston

    You're welcome.

    He probably wants a dried-up, wrinkly old fart that looks like our current and past governors.

    I'm starting to think Hasbro told Bay to go Texan for the sake of their ponies. Would be nice if they featured Ponies in TF, maybe even bring back the tooth fairy girl or something...
