Comingsoon.net was at a press junket for Michael Bay’s Pain & Gain (which also stars Transformers 4 leading man Mark Wahlberg). At the event, Mr Bay was asked if he could use a word or phrase to sum up Transformers 4, and with a grin, Michael Bay said “chase from hell“.
Here we have it from the mouth of the man himself – Transformers 4’s story will somehow be a chase from hell. We can speculate a lot about what this means – but if we take it in the context of previous comments, that Transformers 4 would be getting back to a smaller scale story than the epic action seen in Revenge of the Fallen and Dark of the Moon, then this is a perfect fit. This fan is guessing that the plot of Transformers 4 will revert to the tried and proven formula of “human (& their Autobot guardian) finds something that the villains need to further their goals and go on the run to keep it from enemy hands”. Of course, time will tell.

More jibberish about a movie that will be nothing more than explosions and gratutious shots of some womans boobs. Meh…….how about an actual story that makes sense with characters you can actually follow.

Quick, somebody photoshop this guy engulfed in flames and all evil looking

Hopefully. Terminator 3 was merely a re-hash of Terminator 2 with more daylight. I'm always glad when the chase is over and finally a little bit of story happens.

I agree he knows how to do stylish car chases.

I was kinda hoping for a Exodus/Exiles type of chase…tho that had Megs chasing Optimus all over space. Bay will keep them on earth, I'd imagine.

exactly!, a real butt warmer!

Lol! Good one Ephland! I don't know what peole on here expect to figure out from such a broad statement.
How I understand bay's comment is that the movie will be filled with non-stop action, with robot acrobatics, fighting, and explosions. Something that will leave you breathless, and on the edge of your seat.

I wonder if the chase will be so overtop it will outdo the chase in Terminator 3?

transformers 4 the chase from hell

Well, if I was a director, I wouldn't be letting everyone know my movie sucks beforehand. I'd want them to pay money to see it, not turn them away.

Hopefully the Wreckers will get some cool scenes from any car chases done.

Yes! I can't wait to see Satan transform into a Ferrari, and name it Unicron! Just kidding. Kinda curious to see what he means by that.

Lets just hope this autobot gaurdian is not bumblebee!
Ephland
I can't believe he didn't divulge the entire plot and robot roster for us. What a dick.

so it is fast and the furious, with transformers… got it.
"chase from hell."
at least he's being honest of how the movie will make us feel.
Stepper
Does this mean sentinel prime will be back in TF4,we shall see.

Honestly… as much as I could speculate. This comes from the man who stated that ROTF was 'shit' after saying for a very long time beforehand that it was an improvement from the first.
It feels as if he just said something random to get the fans talking and the newspapers speculating.

One can only hope.

I don't know if there a writer alive who could keep Bay from falling onto his old habits as a director. A script could be brilliant but it still has to be translated from written words to film.
Predacon
Don't expect anything new, it's going to be more of the same.
