I hope he sticks to his word. This series deserves better after what he did with Revenge of the Fallen, Dark of the Moon, and Age of Extinction.

 

[MattKeil]

Please, Please, Please next movie return to G1.

Next movie is a Bumblebee solo movie, so I wouldn't hold my breath. The movies will never be G1.

 

[sphagnum]

Please, Please, Please next movie return to G1.

They already have multiple movies planned out. The Bayverse is here to stay.

 

[TVexperto]

Just bring Shia and Megan Fox back - thats all I want

 

[Loxley]

I'm 90% sure he said this after the third film too.

 

[strafer]

So he can run around screaming he will divide us?

[Trouble]

Zack Snyder, the time has come.

Have at it, Zack. I don't even care at this point. The entire Transformers 'universe' is so ruined nothing short of a radical reboot will make me care about it.

 

[rpg_fan]

Sometimes good things do happen.

Maybe someone who isn't a hack can reboot the franchise.

 

[Toa TAK]

I'm 90% sure he said this after the third film too.

I can't find an article atm but he did.

He just can't quit it.

 

[gutter_trash]

please reboot this mess

 

[Symphonia]

Zack Snyder, the time has come.

You mean Christopher Nolan.

A Brief History of Michael Bay Quitting the Transformers Movies

io9 has got you covered.

 

[TangoAlphaLima]

Every time Bay does this, I think he's just justifying not coming back if the next movie flops. But seeing as Age of Extinction (which was hot garbage) grossed over a billion worldwide, I'm sure the Last Knight will do well enough for Bay to return yet again.

The sequels have made progressively less money domestically each time. I'm interested to see if the trend continues with this one, because that would be a pretty notable shortfall, even if international box office makes up for it in the long run.

 

[Line_HTX]

Whoa... no more Michael Bay dubstep EXPLOSIONS?

I wish this would be the one that sinks and dies at the box office.


But alas...

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

How long until they reboot the whole thing is what I want to know.

 

[Rentahamster]

The script is only 12 pages and they all wrote a page each.

I'm not sure why this made me laugh so hard.

 

[HyperZone<3]

but keeping him on the Transformers forever keeps him out of the rest of the movie industry. We finally had him walled off into his own little corner where he could minimize the damage done to cinema as an artform, now that he's out... there's no telling what the man is capable of.

 

[Mortimer Brewster]

They're the brain trust for the expansion of the Transformers/Hasbro Cinematic Universe.

No joke. .

Its also in a shared universe with the Platinum Dunes Friday the 13th.

 

[KeyBladerXIII]

About time. Maybe the next guy will do something not based on US military wankery.

 

[Schlorgan]

*chants*

Justin Lin.

Justin Lin.

Justin Lin.

 

[Frozenprince]

THANK THE LORD.

Maybe now we can actually get a rebooted franchise with some good movies before Cullen and Weller can't do it anymore.

 

[Billfisto]

He's probably leaving because Trump offered to make him Secretary of Arts or whatever.

 

[Monocle]

I mean, OK. I always saw these films as entirely separate from the rest of the TF franchise. You've got a game like Transformers: Devastation that celebrates the vibrant world and style of G1, and then you've got Bayformers, with its grim self-seriousness, iffy humor, big stupid set pieces, and TF designs that look like a monster truck took a row of monster dumps and the lord granted them life. Really the only good thing I can think to say about Bayformers is the original movie was quite decent and had a great score.

The trailer for The Last Knight is intriguing, at least. Curious to see where it goes. Maybe a spoiler:

Unicron? Hope so. And I hope he turns into a giant robot.

 

[sphagnum]

THANK THE LORD.

Nope.

Again, they have a road map all laid out. The upcoming films continue in the Bayverse.

 

[RangerX]

Thank christ.

 

[Dabanton]

They already have multiple movies planned out. The Bayverse is here to stay.

Exactly, people thinking this changes anything or there will be rebooting, get ready to cry.

These films make a ridiculous amounts of money. They won't be tweaking the formula.

 

[Bronx-Man]

I just realized Bay is the Brett Favre of directors.

 

[Snaku]

Everyone I know is celebrating, but damage has already been irreparably done.

 

[Frozenprince]

I just realized Bay is the Brett Favre of directors.

Favre at least won a chip.

 

[Mushroomer25]

Zack Snyder, the time has come.

This would be a fitting pairing. Just let two awful elements play off each other and keep them occupied until the death of the universe.

If you want to turn this series around, give it to Brad Bird. Cut the grimdark shit, and just make a charming adventure flick. Is that too much to ask?

 

[jstripes]

I can safely say that there’s never been a Transformers film with the huge visual scope and expansive mythology as this movie, The Last Knight.

So what you're saying is that I won't be able to follow this thing at all.

 

[Litan]

I'm not sure why this made me laugh so hard.

Because it's funny.

 

[Goro Majima]

Zack Snyder, the time has come.

Yeah let him go work on these and get him out of DC

...until Michael Bay signs on to do all the DC movies and we all cry out in unison "fuck!"

 

[Skilletor]

How can the description of the movie say "Optimus Prime is gone," and then he is right there in every trailer?

 

[Timu]

Zack Snyder, the time has come.

I would seriously laugh my ass off if he makes better Transformers movies than Micheal Bay.

 

[caliph95]

 

[Toa TAK]

Either way, they'd still look really cool, strictly speaking in a visual sense.

 

[Litan]

They already do. Bay also has an eye for visuals.

 

[Dominator]

He'll probably finish the Wahlberg trilogy and then dip.

 

[Toa TAK]

I know, that's why I said they'd still look cool, even if Snyder (somehow) took over. &#128064;

 

[darkistheway]

All those writers and it will be an incoherent mess...

Day one.

 

[HIGH DEF JEFF]

12 writers?
The people who have to do the arbitration for that are already embarassed.

 

[Discotheque]

Day one for last knight. End of a gloriously stupid mess of an era.

 

[AndersK]

Zack Snyder, the time has come.

Can't wait for Optimus Prime and Megatron to reconcile because their mothers share a name.

Spoiler

theyre brothers in the T-EU. God help us

 

[TVexperto]

So he can run around screaming he will divide us?

still better than the mark wahlburger

 

[Soapbox Killer]

Will I hear "You got the touch" in this film? No? Then I don't give a shit who directs this mess.

Spoiler

I'll see it opening weekend and buy the Blu Ray, I am the problem

 

[Oozer3993]

Transformers had writers?

Hey, "Bumblebee pees on well respected actor John Turturro" doesn't write itself.
