It shouldn’t be a shock when I say I don’t mind the 3 Transformer films. They’re popcorn fun that I don’t take seriously, and at the same time get to see John Turturro onscreen being silly.
The 3 films were gangbusters in the cinema, so it goes without saying that the franchise would continue. It’s just continuing without the cast from the first 3, and it’s still retaining Michael Bay.
Bay himself says that even though there’s new characters, this is not a reboot, and that’s good. We don’t need to be re-introduced to the Autobots and the Decepticons. He also doesn’t shoot down the fact that we may finally get to space with the 4th installment. However, he also says the 4th one will have a lower budget. Most likely because of John Carter’s and Battleship’s disappointing grosses. That is most likely another reason for there being a new cast.
If anything, I want to see how Michael Bay will make a “blockbuster” film with a lower budget than he’s used to. Perhaps his movie with Marky Mark and Dwayne Johnson has taught him a trick or two about how to manage a smaller budget.
So Bayhem may go to outerspace, and I wonder if we’ll finally get Unicron albeit in a more low budget fashion? Is it too much to ask for a G.I. Joe/Transformers crossover? They’ve done it in the comic books. Well I’ll just leave you all with these.

Rene F. Rangel, Well Bay can save money on Unicron, by supplying…His Voice! The Master of…BAYhem, threatening to…Eat the Earth! Forget a team up with G.I. Joe! Instead, cherrypick, some…Transformers, G.I. Joes, Micronauts, Battleship with Liam Neeson as Admiral Shane, vs…The Bad Boys! Shoot in…3DD, and get Christina Hendricks as…The Baroness! It would be a…4 Hour Epic!
duke fleed, I’d pay triple the amount for a ticket to see that film.
Arnold Schwarzenegger as the voice of Unicron.
There, I said it.
shit, rene, you totally beat me to it. I dont know how the fuck Id not seen it since at least three years ago! Theyre both Hasbro, theyre both Paramount- this is one fucking crossover Id really be all juiced up to see if… they actually went all out for adapting the actual gijoe/transformers crossover they published, with the story set in wwII. That´d be really something
They did a crossover towards the end of the Marvel run in the early 90’s where Megatron gets new armor. He goes from turning into a gun to turning into a tank. There was also a brief crossover too in the 80’s if I’m remembering correctly.
This is a surefire moneymaker idea.
Coming next week: Paramount delays GI Joe Retaliation to summer 2014 to digitally insert Transformers into the background of random scenes.
You and me both, Rene.
Starscream shoots first, kills Duke.
After seeing the Avengers most of us film geeks imagined a TF movie that respects the source material. You all agree right?
Michael Bay’s preteen humor and inability to shoot a cohesive action sequence are TF trilogy’s most egregious sins. The paper thin writing of Orci and Kurtzman are a close second.
there is no chance the budget will be less than 200 million.
unless its 195 million like the last one, but no way its 30 million less than that.
