At one point, Michael Bay ('Transformers 1-3', 'Bad Boys') had said that he would not direct another 'Transformers' movie. But like those of certain professional athletes, Bay's retirement from the franchise was short-lived. Sources now indicate that Bay is in final negotiations to direct 'Transformers 4,' to be referred to henceforth in this article as 'Trans4mers.' Paramount is apparently using a project Bay has been eying for a long time, 'Pain and Gain,' as tit-for-tat leverage to get him to return to the shape-shifting robot series. One insider claims the deal could be closed as early as next week. The plot details for 'Trans4mers' have not been revealed, but it appears the only relative certainty is that it will not be a prequel. If the deal is finalized, as those close to the situation are optimistic will occur, Bay will most likely begin shooting 'Pain and Gain' as early as Spring before starting 'Trans4mers'in late 2012.
Part of me wants to be upset that Bay is returning to the 'Transformers' franchise. The last two movies managed varying degrees of awful and I have no interest in seeing Bay drive another installment into the ground. But honesty, I don't know as we need another 'Transformers' movie at all regardless of who is sitting in the director's chair. Has the well not run dry on these films? Isn't there only so much one can do with transforming robots from outer space? In the interest of full disclosure, I will admit that I don't count myself an avid fan of either the toy line or the cartoon series so maybe I'm not the right person to assess the necessity for another film. But I would suspect that even fans of the source material cannot be terribly thrilled that Bay is returning to the film franchise.
'Transformers' fans, sound off. Do you want to see another film? Are you happy Bay is back behind the camera?

Kazim, as the old saying goes, "to each their own". I know a lot of people who love the Transformers and no one should have to apologize for liking a slammed movie. Certain movies may have a theme or location or score that click with a viewer. Me, I've never gotten into Transformers as a kid and as I've grown older and gotten into theater, I've gravitated towards great performances and characters. I would love to see what another producer and director can do with the franchise, though. Hopefully a movie that concentrates more on the title characters rather than the humans.

Comment by Kazim Khan on December 12, 2011 at 2:17pm to be quite honest i'm a 22 year old in medical college and I have no shame in admitting i love transformers...i really do...it brings out that little kid inside me to see nothing but explosions and just pure mayhem on the screen...but this is my opinion and 2 be quite frank i dont really care what all the critics stay and bash it..I love transformers and will always love it :)

There's no need for Bay to learn to direct humans when Hollywood is keeping him employed pumping out the same ol' same ol'. I'd have hoped by this time the saturation factor would have kicked in on this vision of The Transformers. Or for any human character in a Bay movie to not act like a cartoon character.

Comment by Rider Kabuto on December 10, 2011 at 4:27am Hollywood will never learn that old adage you can't flog a dead horse. Best case is that we get a Spiderman 3 scenario, everyone is tired of the franchise. The only reason they make another one is because of contract obligations, I hate this news. Will I go see it anyway??? Probably...who can resist a train wreck.
Comment by demonknight on December 9, 2011 at 5:45pm Everybody is talking all this crap about the Transformers franchise and how they don't want Bay to return to the directors chair, but I bet that if he does direct Trans4mers, it will look really awesome and everybody will go and see it when it comes out in the theatres just like they did with part 3 and it will make a ton of money, thats why they keep making them !!!!!!
