I’m usually a pretty good barometer for how the majority of moviegoers feel about an upcoming film, but in the case of Transformers 3 I’m mystified. There’s been such a divisive split between those who hated Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen and those who think they loved it, that now I don’t know how many of you want to see a third installment (if only hoping one last time that it’s done right) – and those of you who cringe at the knowledge that Revenge of The Fallen made so much money Transformers 3 is going to happen no matter what.
Either way, one guy who already has his mind on Transformers 3 is Michael Bay, and he’s wondering how to outdo himself by actually proving that he can do more than make glossy, explosive, senseless sun-tanned spectacles for the screen. Buried in the special features of the Revenge of The Fallen Blu-ray, Bay talks about his early thoughts for the next chapter in Transformers.

There’s a video of Bay’s whole spiel from the Blu-ray feature up on YouTube. I won’t post it here, but if you want to get the gospel from the preacher’s mouth (wow, I might be going to hell for saying that) just check out the vid OVER HERE.
I want to believe Bay’s words in that video, really I do. He drops a few buzz words that I definitely wanted to hear – ’smaller-scale,’ ‘darker,’ ‘more about the robot characters,’ ‘less exposed,’ ‘more undercover,’ ‘emotion’ – he seems more intent on telling an actual story (even if it is the Sam/Bumblebee bromance, pt. 3), and I genuinely think the crazy (and chaotic) scope of Transformers 2 was too much even for Bay’s liking (if that’s possible). However, right now I’m one of those people who is skeptical about this franchise’s ability to deliver a truly all-around good movie; I just love Transformers too much to give up all hope.
What do you think about Michael Bay’s early thoughts about Transformers 3? Is he going in the right direction (does he even have direction)? Are you already excited for the next chapter, or are you taking this next installment to be a true omen that the end times are nigh?
Transformers 3 will be in theaters on July 1, 2011.

If you & Robotics were refering to the Generation one Transformers animated series. The Dinobots were really Wheeljack’s creations and Wheeljack even made brains for the first 3 Dinobots after they became hostile at first. Ratchet, Spike, Sparkplug, ironhide, etc. helped built them.
@chrisj
Again.Do you people not actually read the comments??!!!!
Robotics said who created them not me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stop telling people stuff they already know!!!
@ Dinobot Fan
Maybe you should follow your own advice, and follow on to what i was commenting on. while you were refering to how Dinobots could be introduced on film, i was commenting who actually created the Dinobots. Try to act more mature next time.
Why all the “True to the cartoon” hate of the movies? Why in the world do we think that any part of the movie or any of teh characters has to be some pure representation of the cartoon? if Bay made a movie that was %100 faithful to the cartoon so that the only difference is that one was live acton with CGI and the other was a cartoon from over 2 decades ago I seriously doubt the movie would have even made back it’s production budget.
No one really truly wants to a Transformers movie that is a literal translation of the 80’s cartoon so enough with the “pro-purist hate towards Bay & the movie and just be thankful that someone was smart enough to let Michael Bay do this. After all for a movie that is about 50 foot robots you need a director who undertsand what is involved in making a movie about 50 foot anything.
my hate was never to him not staying close to the cartoon material. i just don’t like all the filler between robot action.
I was hoping for more out of Devastator as well.
@chrisj
‘if you and robotics’…….
you directed the comment at me and led with the line above.
I never commented on the Dinobots and who created them in any way.
Good morning ALL,
Has anybody seen the “teaser” trailer for “Thundercats” movie yet? I have! Saw it the other day on YouTube looks like it will be a pretty good movie. Some interesting comments from allot of you guys out there, really allot of die hard T-FORMER fans out there I think that’s great! Have a blessed day, God speed and happy trails…..
Dinobot fan,
yo sorry man…didnt actually meant it that way….no i did not intend to belittle you….
my apologize ..
actually my respond was just to note that dinobots were made on earth thats all ..
chrisj: you are right about wheeljack…my bad..
@ Dinobot Fan
Perhaps i should make myself clearer. You and Robotics were talkin about Dinobots being built on earth and all i was said was Wheeljack being the Dinobot’s creator. Even Robotics caught my response.
@ Robotics
No problem bud. Ive made little mistakes like that before.
@Dave
That trailer is fan made.
Vic
@chrisj
i was never talking to robotics, lets just leave it at that.
