    Cogman seeks him out, drags him to that "secret society" location... shows him the truth.

    Course... I don't think Bay will ever work with LeBouf again... and LeBouf didn't seem to want to keep heading in the direction these films were taking him. (Hence the crazy ass "I'm not famous anymore" shit, and pissing everyone from Bay to Spielberg off.)

    I'd say Fox could return, as she already had to have made up with Bay somehow, else she wouldn't have been April O'Neil for the TMNT films. That said, she's a rather minor character, and unless her character made-up with Witwicky, I don't see why she'd be dragged into the TF stuff again.

    He's too busy.

    Apparently he's trying to fund a mission by NASA to put a flag on the moon so 4chan can't get it.

    It's as hilarious as it is just sad when people are SO desperate to "explain" why TF5 tanked and what another sequel could do to "save" things that they suggest bringing back, of all people, Shia LeBouf and Megan Fox aka THE two main most loathed parts of the entire first 3 movies. I mean, come the fuck on. Really?? Why stop there? Let's also suggest bringing back Mojo and his humping, Sam's parents, and maybe even Devastator's balls as a cameo. Because people miss all of those things, right? That's why TF5 - but not TF4 - bombed. Because they now miss all the people & things from 2 movies ago and only just realized it. Yeah yeah, that's the ticket.

    Wow :rolleyes2

    NO WAY! I like a male lead who doesn't scream like a little girl. I just watched DOTM yesterday, what does Sam do when BB transforms with him inside: screams. Sam couldn't even fight Frenzy in TF1, his hot girlfriend had to do it. And his dorky parents, never bring them back.

    Cade is leaps and bounds above Sam.

    Shia and Megan were not the thing people hated bout the first 3 films. I think they were good leads in 2/3 films. I think Sam was good in TF1 and ROTF, but he was a little much at times in DOTM.

    Relating to TF6, I think it's naive to think that bringing those two back who were stars of the TF films that did incredibly well domestically wouldn't help business wise.

    I don't necessarily think it would help quality wise, but if the studio is thinking business, they gotta think of a way to re-energize public interest in the series after TLK tanked at the box office. Amazingly enough, there's a lot of casual moviegoers who do miss Shia in the movies.

    The two most loathed parts of the first three movies? Oh stop kidding yourself lol.

    I guess that explains why the general audience threw a fit that Megan Fox wouldn't be in DOTM right?

    And TF4 did bomb in a sense. It made 100 million less than DOTM in the US to make it the lowest domestic money maker of the four. Guess who wasn't there? Shia.

    Dude, I always see people wondering if they are gonna bring Shia and Megan back. Literally, the only people I've seen that actually hate them are on Youtube and this site.

    Respectfully, that is an awful lot of rose colored hindsight. People could not and would not shut the hell up for 2 movies how much they loathed Megan Fox, to the point that even *I* thought was excessive and somewhat unwarranted. It wasn't AS vocal about Shia by comparison, but lets all clearly remember the collective rejoicing about A) him bailing on the franchise after DOTM, and B) being replaced by Wahlberg who most people constantly championed as "finally, a REAL actor" and whatnot. More over, people sure didn't "miss" either of these two when AOE came out... but NOW they do... NOW they're the reason there's a disconnect with the audience... NOW they could make a positive difference if they showed up again... etc. Sorry, but that is just outright bullshit. Anyone saying that Shia & Megan weren't two aspects of the original 3 movies constantly ripped apart are either lying, have no long term memory, or simply weren't around between 2007-2012 to exactly how overt it really was.

    As a "news staff" member here, you should probably learn more about what you're actually talking about. Nothing "bombs in a sense". It either does or doesn't. And no general audience threw any fits about Megan. Some vocal minority fans did, sure, but nothing remotely on a level you're insinuating. No different than the response to Shia's departure.

    Ok it made a 100 million less. I won't use the word "bomb" for you. But that's a BIG difference in money. AOE was mainly saved by China, a country with a fast growing movie watching industry.

    And yes, the general audience did. I heard it a lot more from them than from fans.

    In TLK Burton exclaimed that Vivian was
    last known suriving descendant of Merlin, and you could see Sam's ebay page in the background. He's dead, bye
    Get Duhamel or The Rock to be the lead. Something.
