I only had to read the article title to shake my head and sigh.

"You don't choose the car, the car chooses you."
Wha?
So my crappy Saturn Outback from 1996 choose ME?
Anyway, in regards to Hack Autuer Bay's TRANSFORMERS, I feel like those disaster movies where I was the scientist that WARNED everyone, but no one listened.
But at least people here know the movie is f*****.

It's a film based on an 80s cartoon. I'm not expecting it to be deadly serious. In fact I'm expecting a Dolph Lundgren style He-Man Master of the Universe film with a big special effects budget.

I'm looking at it like this: it's a giant robot movie with the name Transformers in it. It isn't the real thing.
I guess I just have to wait until I have 150 mil to throw around before a real TF movie gets made.

Optimus Prime doesn't deserve this treatment! Our pal Bumblebee doesn't deserve this, either. Ditto for Megatron, Starscream and Shia LeBouf. Also this dude who wrote this didn't know who Scorponok was. Shame on him.

Oh dear GOD. If that happened, I think Bay will never again helm massive expensive blockbusters and end up as the new Renny Harlin: Hired Gun.

They deserve at least a nice good film of their love...and its gonna get raped harder than Macatyl.

Oh dear GOD. If that happened, I think Bay will never again helm massive expensive blockbusters and end up as the new Renny Harlin: Hired Gun. I think of it like this. Remeber the Robot Chicken sketch, where the studios give Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin even more money to make Godzilla 2, and they have the little Godzillas ice skating, and the execs go "You screwed us again, Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin!"? Well, I think they'll do the same thing if this tanks. Plus, if this ruined Bay's directing career, he could just fall back to producing crappy horror remakes. The fact is, people in Hollywood don't get the Transformers love, all they know is that they can bank on it as a namebrand amongst us Gen X'ers, even if the movie turns out to be full of a bunch of Jar Jar Binks'.

Seriously, who the heck is Scorponok? In this movie, a robotic scorpion that serves as a minion to Blackout, the Decepticon helicopter. In the original show and comic, a giant headmaster that turned into a robot, scorpion, and battle station.

Imagine the scene at Bruckheimer's office...if TRANSFORMERS malfunctions in theatres: *Knock Knock* "Come in" *Enter Michael Bay - Sheepish* "Umm, hi Jerry." "Well, hi Mike. What can I do for ya?" "I don't know how to say this but....you gotta help me." "Why?" "I need a job" "Let me guess Mikey...Spielberg threw your ass out of Dreamworks, right?" "How did you know?" *Jerry picks up his VARIETY, with the headline: "Bay out at Dreamworks"* "Oh you saw that. Come on Jerry, you know I'm good for ya. Please give me a job!" "Mikey, what did I tell you years ago before you left the stable?" "Umm-" "WHAT DID I TELL YOU when you told me about THE ISLAND?" "You, umm, said that it would not exactly be a hit-" "No, I told you that it would FLOP. But no, you had to leave Disney and me, you thought you were the big kahuna, that you didn't need me. Now you come crawling back to me, begging for a job." *Bay cries like a little girl* "I"m So SORRY Jerry.......*sobs*....I got to pay off my 30 Porsches! Please don't let the repo men take away my preciousness!" "You spit on me and left for the Beard...I shouldn't take you back. I'm with Gore Verbinski now, and unlike you....he's talented. He's my boy now, and we will ride that PIRATES and other projects to more treasure and booty. Also, he doesn't rub the stink off me like YOU did." "but I made MILLIONS for you!!!" "Yes you did. Let me tell you this. If BAD BOYS 3 or NATIONAL TREASURE 3: THE GREAT MOUNT RUSHMORE ADVENTURE happens, or I need a jobber to helm up another action movie under me, I'll call you up. OK?" "Thanks jerry!" *Bay leaves office...and Gore comes out of under Jerry's desk* "Is he gone?" "DID I TELL YOU TO STOP!?!?!?" *Gore goes back down.* ;D

I really liked Beast Wars and still forgot about him. So I guess your conclusion about no one caring is right. ;D edit: Wait, this article is from February. How is it news?

We all know Scorponok (and Terrorsaur) really meant nothing to the progression of the series, besides advancing the plot with their death (not as much as Dinobot's) but they were just pesky secondary characters. So let's not mourn for them.
