"I would think so," he said. "I would think so."

"It may not be the end of the line of Transformers for Hasbro and Paramount," he added indicating that a reboot with a new creative team could still happen in future. "But I would think so...Director Michael Bay I'm sure is...He's spent a lot if years working on one thing!"

Hopefully no Skid & Mudflap spin-off



A reboot would sound nice though....maybe

I think I remember Bay saying this already. On any occasion, reboot the franchise in 10 years with GI Joe and do them justice.

Best news yet on this franchise. They should have booted Bay after the 2nd one. They should reboot it in just a couple of years and title it "The Real Transformers" by adapting it properly and with minimal human elements.

when they reboot, instead of using cgi for the robots they should just use the old toys. So it'll be as close to the source material as possible AND be 100% kid friendly!

Cool find. I guess it would be hard to keep telling stories with these characters. Well, hopefully the third one will bring back Soundwave.

Robots with beards and canes telling stories is not what I grew up with..

On the contrary, Creature, the 80s cartoon did have robots with beards ...

It'd be cool to see a reboot with the original tv series characters (how they looked). You'd be able to tell them apart (which is one of the things people bitch about).

Yeah, I know we've heard this news from other sources in the past but this is just further confirmation! And besides, what else is there to talk about on a slow news Saturday? :P

Why is it every time we get two or three movies into a series, someone thinks it's time for a reboot?

Do it right, can Bay, get a real director, and make TF4 and TF5 and do it better. Make TF4 about Unicron and TF5 about the next generation (i.e. Rodimus and Ultra Magnus).

BTW........ as far as the robots and beards go...... remember Alpha Trion and his handlebar mustache and beard?

if they do a reboot have it be all one big CGI movie. Have it focus on the Transformers rather that the annoying Bay characters

Let this end. Let TF3 be the end of this series and never allow for a reboot. No Beast Wars. No Next generation transformers. Let this monstrosity be the end.

No...just no..

Please hollywood no more reboots, rehashing, second chances at an already failed franchise. Let it die, make some original movies for once and STOP coming out with the same movie every 2 years.

I loved Transformers 1 and 2 since its Bays last film just let the series continue with a new director and bring in the Insecticons and Dinobots there are tons of Transformers left that havent even been on the screen. IF they do a reboot of the series go back to the beginning like how the Transformers race really started not Bay's interpretation
