HAHAHAHA! That was great! Bay always stays right in his "zone", namely cool explosions and "awesome" special effects! With him, you always know what you'll get. Nice work, Verizon.

I was late taking Professor Bay's "Awesome" Class. But the world needs more "awesome" than "geeks" right now.

We need more guys to wake up in the morning and make the decision to go forward; as oppose to the spineless, easily scared cowards I've been meeting as of late.

I also respect the guy's sense of humor, but he needs to cut down on the explosives. :mrgreen:_=

I admire the guy for being able to make fun of himself, most people in Hollywood have their heads too far up their own ass to be able to do that.

I also noticed how he's got an 08 Bumblebee and a Leader Megatron toy on his desk next to his big (I presume "awesome"?) TV...

That was so funny!!
Mike isnt afraid to poke fun at how simple his movies are.

BOOM!! BOOM!!

That would be so cool to have that BB they used in the film.

Not only was that ad better than all the other Fios ads I've seen, It was (as Bay says) pretty Awesome!

I am glad they showed the shot of Bonecrusher, He is awesome too.
