On how the third movie will be:
"I think it takes awhile to get it right. I think we did not want the third one to suck."
This time around, Bay said,
"We worked extra hard" and struck upon "a better story."
"It's epic and it happens in a city," he added.
"It's more accessible because you recognize stuff — it's not in a desert. It's kind of like 'Black Hawk Down' with our small group of heroes in a city."
On why the second movie failed:
The problem with 2009's "Revenge of the Fallen," Bay once again pointed out, is that the writers' strike left the production hardly any time to nail down a script. The filmmakers found themselves essentially trying to create a story line in the edit room, rather than on the page before shooting began.
"The second one, we had a tough go," Bay told us.
"It was a very, very tough thing to make a movie under those circumstances. It affected a lot of Hollywood at that time."
On the villain Shockwave:
"He's bad. He's got a much bigger gun [and is] a little bit more vicious."
On the possibilities of another continuation:
"It does have an end, yes. Because I am finished doing this."
