Gimy, so you defended Michael Bay by saying "if it's a good movie, who cares?". Well, that's the problem. It wasn't a good movie. Most of his films aren't. So Bay sucks. And we don't need to make our own 300 million dollar films to say that.

I've always had a love/hate relationship with Michael Bay's films. I certainly don't hate em all. Transformers put me on the fence though, because while there was a lot that I must admit to having liked, there's also a lot more that left plenty to be desired. Two thumbs up of course for the action, but I was ultimately underwhelmed by the story (and people can call me whatever the fu ck they want for that).

Watching Transformers was an experience similar to the one I had watching the introductory X Men and Spider-Man films. Left em both with a fist full of gripes, but retained hope that the sequels would deliver. My hopes were met on both counts (SM2, X2), and I'm hoping for the same from Transformers 2. Especially if there's any truth to Spielberg's devotion to advancing the story and adding in some character depth.

Can Jazz come back with that peice of allspark that OP(Optimus Prime) pulled out of his brother? But if you choose not to Bay I understand, you might have other plans with that piece of spark. Oh and I think i might know whats next from ya Bay, "Energon" that maybe the next big thing in TF 2.

I really want Michael Bay to really listen to fanbase that is Transformers. I dont trust what he could of wrote for the next movie. If I was him, I hire real writers that really cares about the plot and knows action well. Make those writers flesh out all the characters and make them believeable. I so wish work on the sequel. My brothers loves Transformers and to tell them that their brother is working on the sequel would be a big deal to them and to myself. Its not fair that a fan like myself cant really do anything about how badly could this next film turn out. If Michael Bay would ever read this, i hope to god that i am willing to make the effort to impress the ever growing fan base and all who is working on the film.*sighs* all i can do is just dream. heh.

One positive dream is worth more than a thousand negative realities.

I think the whole idea about robots turning into cars and helicopters is kind of for little kids.

pretty much. i like that the fact most of us called for a new director. but no one is listening.i am still willing to change some of plot holes from the first moive. even though i liked the action, i just want the story to be more abot the robots than the humans dealing with them.

I think SHIA and Megan Fox has already singed on to the sequel already. I want Acer to be Megan's robot because Shia has Bumblebee. I am a huge Dinobots fan(hence my name Dinogirl and I am a girl lol) i never got any of the original dinobots cause they were so expensive. But if they get in to the movie I am going to get Grimlock he was my fave. I don't know why hardly anybody like them they were awesome. I hope at least in the movie if they use them they would make them little bit more smarter.

I really thought Bay did a pretty good job with Transformers. Since he now says that all the rumors you read are going to be false, and his history of giving out false info anyway, why does anyone take this seriously? As far as T1 goes, I think Shia did a good job, (considering when he was shooting his scenes he usually had a pool with a cardboard robot face on it to talk to,) and Megan Fox I thought .... well, she's a fox!! Who cares if she can act! LOL. Now on to the new movie.

I think the number of robots in the 1st movie is a number that Bay should stick with. Like one poster said, if you add more, it'll clutter everything up like in Spider-Man 3. Since they were originally going to have Arcee in the 1st movie, (watch your second disc of T1 for that info,) I agree with Dinogirl .... Sam has Bumblebee, Fox's character could have Arcee. Besides, if you've seen the Arcee movie toy, Fox would look super-fine on a bike like that. But here's where you all are going to flip on me and rip this post apart .......

Transformers 2 needs to continue the storyline from the 1st one I think. The main focus should be on The Decepticons finding a new leader. So therefore, NO Dinobots or Constructicons. Sorry all, it's too soon for them. In my opinion, introduce GALVATRON! Bring in Galvatron, but not entirely like the Unicron storyline from the animated movie. Something like, Starscream is trying to be the new Decepticon leader, and those still loyal to Megatron, (I'm assuming that would be Frenzy and Barricade,) go to that place in the ocean and recover what's left of Megatron and rebuild him and bring him back online as Galvatron. They'll have to introduce a couple new Decepticons considering Blackout, Bonecrusher, and Devastator/Brawl were killed in the 1st one.

So there's my 2 cents ..... have at me all!
