I might do the sequel. I might not. I wanna work on it, but then I'll stop for the strike. Then I might be on, but I don't know.

This article is more on his politcal views than anything else, and I frankly care less about those than I do his abilities as a director. Tell you what, when there's an offical statement about who's directing the sequel, then you can tell us what Michael Bay thinks. The last few bits of "news" from this guy have been pretty pathetic, anyway.

It's news because when the guy who makes the Transformers movie says something about the franchise, it's important. He rarely posts, so when he does, it's news.

Yes, nothing is confirmed yet. But when the man in charge of the new movies says that he's "itching" to work on it, that's a good indication that he'll sign on again.

it's been a slow few weeks for news, I'd figure when Michael Bay of all people says something, fans might want to know about it.

Why do all of the characters in TF 2 have to be G1 characters? Instead of your idea how about they take the really obvious choices like Soundwave, Shockwave, and Mirage, and then make a few new characters? Barricade was a new character and a ton of people feel he's the coolest 'bot in the movie. So, common sense would tell you a few new characters is probably a good idea.

True. I really hate how fans can't look past G1 for potential movie characters, then those same fans claim to be NOT G1-purists, even though they ONLY want G1 characters in the films and want everything to remain as closely to G1 as possible... even though everywhere you turn nowadays it's G1, G1, G1, G1! I don't think there's been this much G1 stuff around since 1984! At least leave the movies for new stuff.

Yeah, that little part put a smile on my face as well. Truth be told I like Bay a little more now!

Unlike some, i actually didnt care about the flames on Prime, not enough to whine about it in every tf movie forum i ever found online and cry like a little baby idiot and send the guy death threats for "ruining my childhood" I actually like Prime with the flames, they make him look more modern and cooler.

you did a good lob with the movie i may add,but with the war thats going on im scared for my life.i live in a shelter on wards island and im trying to leave new york because the way that i see it its not safe anymore.but as far as your movie i think it kicks butt,just remember in part 2 to add my all time favorite decepticons
...the stunticons and merge them into menasor because thats my other name because of my height and my very deep voice.
and thanks again.

How about until the strike starts, they would start writing the scripts? So, there could be not so many holes like in a cheese?

We don't pay you to rant, we pay you to make kick ass movies.

Heh, true, but technically we dont pay him ANYTHING. The studio does, then he takes a bit out of the box office gross.

Bush has told us repeatedly that dissent from him is unpatriotic, but that's nothing more than job security for himself. It's our patriotic duty to question the President. It's one of the freedoms the Founding Fathers granted the public to assure we don't fall into a dictatorship.

I'd love to see a single example where Bush has said that...

I'd also love to see an example of the war opposing left doing anything to support our troops and their efforts while under fire... You know, more than meaningless words. More than 'saying' it. Showing it. Standing up for them. Praising them. Their efforts. Their family. Not threatening to cut their funding in an effort to end the war.

As far as Bay's political rant, I'd argue we do pay him. If we don't support his work, he's jobless. Something he LIKELY would have been if not for the success of the movie considering his recent rash of box office BOMBS.

My feelings exactly!
