Bay wants to kill Megan Fox. In the film, I mean.

Oddly enough, I'm ok with that.

PLEASEBETRUEPLEASEBETRUEPLEASEBEARLYANDQUICKLYFORGOTTEN

If they do it well, it might be good.

But then I saw the Toy Story 3 trailer link so I care more about that.

I was actually kinda wondering if something like this might happen given the Bay/Fox stuff going on. I think she's too big to just leave out or replace, so killing her on-screen makes sense.

Well, Transformers 3 just automatically became my favourite one if this is true.

Not gonna happen, it'd make me too darn happy if true.

Exactly. Rule of thumb #1 for movie rumors: if it makes fans almost universally happy, it's fake.

Crap, now I'm gonna have to see this movie.

I don't think killing off Ms. Skank will make all the hormone-crazed teens and twenty-somethings happy.

Am I the only one who doesn't want this to be true? Not due to any particular fan-hood for Megan Fox, but from a narrative perspective, the prospect sounds terrible. Sam's relationship to Mikaela in the movies was treated quite earnestly, and had a strong grounding effect on his character.

If they kill her off, he's either going to wind up a depressed emo bitch, or jarringly, he'll shrug it off easily and we'll all be like "WTF man?".

Yeah. If they want to get rid of Megan Fox, I have no problem with that. But Mikaela should be in TF3, even if it comes down to a dreaded recast. Hey, it worked for Rachael Dawes. Oh wait...

What archon said.

Yeah, like archon, I think if they kill her off - especially if they do it in the first few minutes- it'll hurt Sam's character. He needs to be hyper, not emo.

He can shrug it off—in a Prime-disrobing-Jetfire-suit sort of way.

no but seriously, if this is true it makes me gleeful.
Not that I care who Bay or Fox is hugging—But it'll also convince me their rumors bare truth. (insert nasty hollywood STD joke in here somewhere).

I completely agree. I didn't think it would possible for TF3 to be worse than ROTF, but if this actually happens as described in that article? Ugh. It would be the hugging stupidest thing I can imagine them doing in the movie, and I am astounded that anyone thinks it is a good idea.

Wasn't there a "is she dead/is she alive?" cliffhanger at the end of that leaked RotF draft from waaaay before the movie came out? The one that focused on Las Vegas and had Ultra Magnus fighting Devastator.

Much as Megan Fox deserves it, I don't think the Michaela character does.

I've liked the fact that Sam is not replacing Michaela with "hottie of the year" and having a new girlfriend in every movie. To kill Michaela would either do terrible things to Sam, which doesn't make for a fun movie, or make Sam's character look unbelievable if he could just get over it quickly.

So I hope not.

Yeah have her leave if they don't want her in it, don't kill her off at the beginning of a film - that would put a damper on Sam.

Randy

Not gonna happen. She's practically the movie's biggest selling point.

Isn't it a little early for rumors yet?

That would be out of place among all the other lack of character... how exactly?

(it had to be said! the joke was RIGHT there!)

Personally, I think a breakup is a smarter, safer solution. It doesn't make Sam a "widower", and it could easily be written as an organic part of the story. The first breakup is generally a part of the first romance.

Heck, it doesn't even have to happen on-screen; just have it be mentioned as having happened between movies, let Sam be all sullen starting out, and let him hit on the new eye candy when she shows up.

Preferably, the eye candy will be named Jessie or Carly, just for giggles.

Except for the fact that Sam and Mikaela are pretty much the only consistent (and quite strong) bits of characterization between both movies, that is...

A breakup would be slightly less terrible from a writing standpoint, but when a major part of their character arcs in RotF was them showing just how determined and committed and faithful they are to each other? Just a bit jarring.

She needs to be cut in half across the abdomen, and Sam needs to pick up her upper half, say 'Oh, no, my poor Mikaela. But we've met lots of *new* Transformers, so I guess it's not all bad' while unceremoniously dropping her.

Prime never dropped Jazz.

She'll be taking a road trip with her gal pals when the Decepticons attack their car.

"This was almost too easy.."

Yeah, that scene was awkwardly done, but people have really made much more of it then it was. To hear some people talk about it, you'd think Prime drop-kicked Jazz's corpse while saying "Sucks to be you! I have new buddies now!"


Batman did it.

Actually... when didn't Batman do it?

Anyway, my point is that it's the best way to do away with the... let's be generous and say "actress"... without destroying the character she's attached to (which having a dead girlfriend would/should do to Sam) or having to recast the character (which almost never goes well). Does it play into the story? Not entirely, but it's not entirely unrealistic either; I think everyone has seen (and possibly even experienced) a relationship that was fiery and passionate to start fizzle and die later on.

I don't think the natural resolution of Sam + Mikaela has to be a big wedding, house in the suburbs, 2.4 kids, 1.6 dogs, middle-management career, two cars (one of them an alien) in the garage. That's really the only place that keeping them together leads (eventually, I'll grant). Transformers isn't really much for the happy ending, especially where humans are concerned, so I don't see losing Mikaela as insurmountable or even out of the ordinary. It can be made to fit the story, as much because of previous events as in spite of them.

Heck, if they do a few more movies, I'd like to see them get rid of Sam and introduce a new "wide-eyed teenager" altogether. I'd like them to preserve the wonder, and that means new human eyes. At some point, as the 30-something veteran of repeated giant robot conflicts, he's going to resemble a cynical hardened warrior (or worse, repetitive Lois Lane-style victim) more than the goofy good-natured teenager he started out as. If the movies go on long enough... we're gonna need a Daniel.

I think she's one of those man's women now, not really having gal pals (outside of those in the lick in high school - like the girls eating with her at Burger King in the first film). Those girls that don't get along with other girls, only with men. That's just the vibe I get from the character.

Randy

You actually trust Bay and Co. to come up with something as meaningful and poignant as what was done in The Dark Knight? Sounds a bit beyond their scope to me.

You have a good point, but I had to fix that last part for you

Yeah the Transformers movie franchise is basically (1) Giant robots, and (2) Sexy Megan Fox. People literally see the movie for Megan Fox. Killing her so she couldn't be in TF4 is stupid.

Also, Sam and Optimus Prime both died in the last movie. And then they undied. They've already jumped that shark.

That's kind of childish.

It is Bay we're talking about, Gunrage

It's never too early for unsubstantiated rumors. A guy I know on the production staff told me so. No, really.

It was established in the 1st film that Mikaela had a criminal record because she was covering for her old man after he stole a car; it only went away because Sam extracted a promise from S7 that her record would be sealed.

Perhaps Bay could have it that Mikaela & her dad just couldn't stay out of trouble, so the two of them are in the slammer and Sam is in no position to bail them out for whatever reason (such as the seriousness of the charges outweighing Sam's limited clout). Sam's motivation could be trying to find a way to bail them out, all the while fending off the next Decepticon plot.

Alternatively, her dad could have gotten himself in hot water with an organized crime outfit of some sort. Mikaela has had to "disappear" for a while, ostensibly because she's breaking up with Sam, in order to straighten everything out. For this, the twist could be that the syndicate is somehow in league with the Decepticons; the broker is Swindle, who is acting on behalf of the other Combaticons. Bailing Mikaela out of danger means stopping one of the most ruthless Decepticon teams out there, a team so ruthless that the Autobots may end up needing to locate a gestalt team of their own (the Aerialbots?) just to be on equal footing. If Megan Fox is still being utterly jerkish to everyone at this point, he can have it that Onslaught or the head of the syndicate shoot her down right at the end of the battle in order to extract at least some degree of revenge for the Autobots winning; it lets her character die with a degree of dignity and in a believable fashion.

Which is why it makes total sense for Transformers 3. I still haven't seen RotF (I was going to last week, but got sick... before that I've lacked the funds or the time and honestly, the interest).

The whole series has been pretty childish: "Cool fighting robots and some 'bounce'!"

If the second movie hasn't developed the Transformers themselves into something worth viewing, the franchise needs to be taken out back and put down. We can try again in 5 to 10 years.

And yes, I know that isn't going to happen since its going to make money because we have robots, explosions, and bounce.

How can this be the first rumor? I've deleting nonsense off wikipedia like this for months. Heck, this got deleted today from an anonymous editor, who supposedly had the inside scoop.



I've deleted casting lists for the next film, plots tons of stuff.

and then starscream picks her up throws her into the desert fires his rocketlauncher and you just see a big explosion and no more megan fox i'd be fine with megan fox getting killed off just aslong as they don't replace her with kirsten stewart

I just figured out how this could work.


Sam nervously makes his way home from college. Right as he enters the door, he is greeted by his old man, who wants to know about a mysterious $500+ charge to the "for emergencies only" credit card he gave Sam. Just as Sam is about to explain, when his mother interrupts. It seems that something from Mikaela came in the mail.

Sam opens the letter and is horrified to find that it's a "dear John" note; she wants nothing more to do with him, and would be rather furious if he tried to follow her. Sam has a massive breakdown and is about to rip the letter apart when he notes that the return address and the post mark are from two different locations: while the return address is her house, the post mark is from somewhere in New Mexico. Sam, not right in the head, decides upon an impromptu road trip, dragging along Bumblebee, Wheelie, and a few human pals in the process.

As furious as his parents are for him running off without even telling them, Optimus is even more upset; something important is about to happen, and having Sam & co. draw unwanted attention will only make matters worse. That "something" is a shuttle containing a large number of Autobot civilians and a very meager security force (Magnus, Red Alert, Tracks, Windcharger, Kup, Hot Rod, Blurr, and the Aerialbots). The shuttle is set to land at Area 51, and Optimus fears that if the group make too much noise it'll alert any nearby Decepticons that something is wrong. Although he doesn't want to risk splitting up his forces, he orders Ratchet to take a detachment and go on a retrieval mission.

Sam & co. arrive in town after a considerable drive time. Whereas everyone else wants to simply find a motel and sleep the ride off, Sam is on his feet and asking around. That no one seems willing to give him a straight answer infuriates him, and causes him to lose what little bit is left of his cool. He is about to do physical violence to someone when he sees what appears to be Mikaela's father (who he met between films) driving past. Totally gone at this point, he rounds everyone back up and has Bee follow the car.

They trail it to an abandoned factory building, where inside a meeting is taking place. It turns out that Mikaela's father took out a "loan" from the wrong people. In exchange for letting him live, he has to steal for them. Cars, guns, cash; whatever he can get his hands on so long as it equals out to what he owes... plus interest accrued. Mikaela is there with him, helping to steal (and, it's implied, do other things) in order to get additional money. The car her father was driving was but the latest in "acquisitions" he has had to make.

Sam is about to intervene when the others stop him. They point out the fact that behind the apparent ring-leader is a jeep with a heavy-caliber machine gun; if everyone rushes in without a plan then someone could get killed. Sam reluctantly agrees to sit and watch, although it eats at him to see Mikaela and her father get escorted out of the main area.

The group keep up their vigil for a little while longer, at which point the "jeep" and the ringleader - thinking themselves to be alone - start talking. The "jeep" is actually Swindle, a notorious conman. At Swindle's OK, four other military vehicles show up. Bee and Wheelie recognize them as the Combaticons, a group of Decepticons so mercenary and vile that even Megatron was rumored to be afraid of them. When Onslaught pays for the vehicles and weapons in gems, everyone puts it together. Sam orders Wheelie and the others to run and get the police, while he and Bee stay back in case trouble brews.

Unfortunately for everyone, they missed the fact that Barricade was on patrol. This leads to Sam and Bee having a rematch so as to buy the others time. The Combaticons, thinking that they've been sold out, vaporize the ringleader, steal what they can carry, and run off. The remaining members of the gang, thinking that the Decepticons have betrayed them, hustle Mikaela and her father away.

Wheelie and the others manage to get some distance between them and the factory, only to find themselves pursued by other Decepticons: Roller Force, Motorhead, and Ground Hog. They are saved when a news van pulls up and beckons them to get inside. As they do, they find that the van is empty. The van introduces itself as Dataframe, part of a team sent to retrieve the others. He immediately hits the gas and runs, broadcasting a wide-band alert as he does so *and* sending another signal to the local police department. Just as the three Decepticons close in, they get broadsided by Ironworks, Sideswipe, and Sunstreaker. The three Autobots quickly demonstrate that they aren't playing around, and soon separate the Decepticons from their sparks.

Meanwhile, the staredown between Bee and Barricade ends up at a standstill. This is broken when a mysterious fog rolls in, allowing Bee and Sam to "acquire" some of the dropped weapons. Barricade ends up getting tag-teamed by Bumblebee and Smokescreen, and gets put down for good. Smokescreen then informs everyone that while the Decepticons went one way, the humans went the other; teams are after both. Sam demands that he and Bee be allowed to go after Mikaela. Smokescreen relents and tells Dataframe to follow; he and the other three will try to stop the Decepticons.

However, the Combaticons aren't alone - Ransack, Bludgeon, Dirt Boss, and a few others are with them. Skids, Mudflap, and Blaze Master attempt to slow them down, only to get slagged in the process. Optimus, realizing the danger, orders everyone to a defensive stance; he, Whirl, Ironhide, and the girls dig in for what appears to be a harsh battle.

Meanwhile, Ratchet and Springer catch up to the convoy. Behind them are a line of police cars, who are soon joined by Bee and Dataframe. The syndicate members panic, and so when the lead car in the group (which has Mikaela's father) has a blow-out, the driver loses control; it flips off the road. The other members completely lose it. They halt their cars dead and get out, intending to use Mikaela as a hostage. This results in a stand-off between the police and the members. Simmons inadvertently breaks the stand-off when he loses his patience and orders the other S7 operatives inside Springer to rappel down and intervene. Mikaela sees the opportunity and tries to run, only to be shot in the back by the guy holding her hostage. Sam snaps, draws the pistol he grabbed back in the factory, and empties the clip into the shooter. The rest of the police open fire, mowing down the syndicate members. Simmons tries to snap Sam out of it, only for Sam to pistol-whip him and call him an "idiot" before running over to Mikaela; he's just in time to see some of the operatives using Ratchet's medical gear to try and save her.

The Decepticons arrive, and an epic battle ensues. However, the Combaticons are too much for the Autobots. When the shuttle comes in early, the Combaticons merge into Bruticus and blow it out of the sky. Before they can celebrate their victory, however, the Decepticons get strafed by the Aerialbots. Ultra Magnus then comes up in carrier mode, with Red Alert, Tracks, and Windcharger in tow. The Aerialbots merge into Superion and battle Bruticus, while Magnus' team flanks the Autobots. The arrival of Smokescreen & co. only seals the deal, and the Decepticons all die. Magnus explains that when he got the message, he ordered everyone to abandon ship some miles west of the site and then send the shuttle in on remote control; as soon as everyone was back together and he had a chance to post a guard, he came with reinforcements.

Unfortunately, not all the news is good. While Blazemaster can be fixed, Skids & Mudflap are KIA. Additionally, Mikaela died on the operating table and her father was killed in the roll-over. While the civilians are all safe, it came at a terrible price.

The movie ends with everyone leaving the funeral for Mikaela and her father. Sam, alone save for Bumblebee and Wheelie, walks over to her grave. In the process, he reveals what he plunked down that money for: an engagement ring. He and Wheelie sit on Bee's hood, contemplating what to do next. Bee breaks the tension by playing some prog metal, causing Sam to realize that the best thing he can do is get on with his life.

since you showed your script idea heres what i have for my script so farEarth home to the human race our paths have crossed with them both our races have united to fight those that would plunge our universe into chaos enemies who were drawn to this planet by my actions looking to find our planet’s life source which was destroyed in the battle for this planet shards still remain but in another battle we found another object the matrix I only hope this device will be able to one day bring our world to life once more. (Earth Greenland) Lennox: Epps do you have a lock on any enemy energy signatures? Epps: yeah I think he’s about seven miles away from us. Lennox: you think? Epps: you want to try and figure this damn thing out because this is like star-trek jive. Lennox: you’d think from all the training you would know how to use that thing. Fighter pilot1: you guys we got a lock on the bogey looks like he took the form of an F-16 jet fighter he’s transforming. The decepticon fires a barrage of missiles destroying two a-10s fighter pilot1: we lost hotdog and lady killer, bones prepare your rockets were taking this bugger down. Bones: tally-ho sidewinders away choke on this you decepticon bastard. The missiles hit the decepticon in the chest causing him to fall into the snow as his arm falls off. Lennox: ironhide your turn. Ironhide transforms into robot mode and runs up to the decepticon and points his canons at the decepticons head. Decepticon: please autobot mercy. Ironhide: mercy for a decepticon never request denied. Ironhide grabs the decepticon’s head crunches it as the decepticon’s optics burn out ironhide: hmm what a weak decepticon megatron should invest in better troops. Lennox: all right lets get him strapped onto the flatbed and rollout we got a couple transports waiting 30 miles away. Epps: uh we got another heat signature. Lennox: where? Epps: oh crap underneath us. A decepticon crashes out as Lennox and Epps jump out of the way. Ironhide transforms and punches through the decepticon’s stomach and pulls out a group of wires as the decepticon’s optics burnout. Lennox: command come in ironhide just took out another one it must have been at least 4 miles below us for the scanners not to pick it up looks like it hadn’t taken an earth form yet this could be the location of a decepticon outpost. Commander Blake: roger that were sending you reinforcements move to the rendezvous point marked on to your G.P.S. and make sure nobody but you sees the bodies of those cons but you the last thing we need is people panicking I’m surprised the whole world doesn’t know already with the whole fiascos in Egypt and mission city. Lennox: yes sir alright whistler, Kowalski, O’Neil, Hicks, Mitchell you guys think you can push the f-16 guy’s corpse on the trucks. O’Neil points to the trucks smirking. Lennox turns to see the bodies already loaded onto the truck. Ironhide: sorry I got bored while you were talking to command. Lennox: alright are those cons strapped down ironhide? Ironhide: you can’t expect me to do everything now can you? Lennox: yeah I guess I should do something’s my self. Epps: about time you learned that. Lennox: ha-ha very funny just for that you strap in the other one. Epps sticks his tongue out and makes a fart noise. Epps: as long as you buy the beers at the end of our shift. Lennox: you got a deal. (India 3 hours later)

Slipstream transforms into his scooter form as Arcee’s red motorcycle component fires her crossbow hitting his tire causing him to spin out of control. Slipstream: ah crap. Slipstream transforms into his robot mode when Arcee’s blue motor cycle form trips him with her arm. Then her pink motorcycle component drives up and cuts slipstream in two. Arcee: target one destroyed. Breakaway: I’m closing in on target two he’s a fast little decepticon punk locking on. Breakaway fires his machine guns tearing off storm-cloud’s tailfins.

Mojo just stands there. Sam: okay if you want to play it that way. Sam picks up mojo’s wrecked chew toy and throws it outside. Sam: go on fetch. Mojo runs outside and Sam shuts the door. Sam walks back to his room and grabs his blanket and takes it to the laundry room. (Downstairs witwicky household) Sam’s mom and dad open the door his mom is carrying mojo. Judy witwicky: Sam why was mojo outside? Sam yells down the stairs’ because he pissed on my blanket. Judy witwicky: but it’s raining out there Sam poor mojo might have gotten sick. Sam comes down the stairs wearing a pizza delivery hat. Sam: well I was going to bring him in before I went to work. Judy: well you still should have. Ron witwicky: Judy he said he was going to bring mojo inside let’s just end it there. Judy witwicky: fine. Judy walks into the kitchen. Ron witwicky don’t mind her she’ having ah a little problem women usually have every month. Sam: yeah good thing I’m working today. Sam walks out of the house and into the garage. Sam: alright bee ready to go to work. Bumblebee: yes. Sam: be careful bee ratchet said you’ll need a few more repair sessions before you should start talking again. Bumblebee nods his head in agreement and transforms, Sam opens the door and gets in the driver’s seat. (Off shore oil-rig) two workers on a lunch break begin having there sandwiches when a giant-metal hand crashes through the oil rig causing the ground around the two workers to slip toward the hole the one worker jumps onto a stable platform while the other one clings onto a steel girder the oil-worker on the ledge reaches for his friend but the girder breaks and his friend falls into the water. The oil worker begins to cry as the whole oil rig gets pulled down into the water. Tidal-wave: megatron I have gathered the materials heading to rendezvous point. (Nest headquarters location classified) commander Blake: team we have a problem decepticons landed in Russia and stole a bunch of plutonium casualties are estimated to be 163 people both civilian and Russian military, then one attacked an offshore oil-rig casualties 80 no one survived and the oil-rig was taken apart and stolen any thoughts on this prime? Optimus: it is possible megatron is in need of energy and parts to repair his troops. Ratchet: it is also very likely he is building a weapon after what you humans told me what nuclear energies can do when used as a weapon. Mudflap: so we shut megaton’s operation down just like we did before. Ironhide: we? You weren’t there for the worst of it back when we launched the allspark into space you know how many autobots we lost. You didn’t face megatron face to face or get blasted by starscream have you even defeated a decepticon by yourself. Mudflap: no how many have you killed? Ironhide: 546.000.optimus: alright you two stow it Mudflap you and skids go to Sam’s location he may need more security. Commander Blake: here take O’Neil and Mitchell with you. Mudflap: aright we’ll bring the rookies along for the ride Mitchell goes to the table and picks up a grenade launcher and points it at Mudflap. Mitchell: rookies huh just remember this MGL-140 six-shot grenade launcher can put a large hole in your chest if you piss me off. Mudflap walks backwards with his hands in the air. Mudflap: hey you think I’m scared of you punk I got a homie to back me up right skids. Skids: that’s right bro you mess with one of us you mess with all of us. Lennox walks between them. Lennox: now everyone calm down you kill each other and you would basically be helping megatron take this planet. Nice Speech colonel Lennox looks to see Simmons behind him clapping. Lennox: how’s it feel to be back in the game Simmons? Simmons: pretty good sir of course it doesn’t pay as well as the S-7 career but it will do. Commander Blake: I asked Simmons to come here because of his expertise on the decepticons so Simmons what do you make of the situation. Simmons: well according to the facts I have been told there is 3 different possibilities one he is making a weapon two he is constructing a device to contact the transformer home-world to summon reinforcements three he is building a device to transport his troops here unnoticed. Lennox: so we find the construction site and bomb it. Simmons: there is an easier way. Commander Blake: well I’m listening. Simmons: our best bet is to intercept one decepticon before he gathers more material or whatever they’re after capture one and interrogate it. Commander Blake: well sounds like a plan and when were done we’ll have cake. Simmons, Lennox, Mitchell, O’Neil, Epps all look at Commander Blake with weird looks on their faces. Blake: what you guys don’t like cake well more for me so where do we find this prisoner Simmons? Simmons: oh any decepticon unit will do. Blake we’ll just have to wait for the satellites to pick up a signature. (Mars decepticon temporary headquarters) megatron walks in. megatron: starscream how are the earthbound decepticons fairing? Starscream: 25 percent of them are finished their tasks 14 percent
Are destroyed 40 percent are still struggling with their tasks. Megatron: how are the constructicons repairs coming? Starscream: almost complete of course he needed a few modifications and replacement parts but should be ready for combat within two stellar cycles. Megatron: longer than I expected but I am nothing if not adaptable. Starscream: and foolish. Megatron grabs starscream’s throat and throws him into the wall. Megatron: remember starscream you serve as long as I let you and you will be terminated should you cross me again. Starscream rubs his neck. Starscream: yes lord megatron. Megatron leaves the room. Starscream: he will pay for this I swear it. (Earth Jamie’s pizza) Jamie wells: hey Sam got a delivery for you. Take it down to that motorcycle shop down on third. Sam: yeah okay Jamie I’m going. Jamie: oh and Sam don’t take to long you still got two hours left in your shift and by the time you get there I’ll have several more pizzas for you to deliver. Sam: yeah just tell frank to keep cooking I’ll be back in no time. Sam grabs the pizza and puts it into the carrying case and walks out the door to the parking lot to bumblebee that is parked covering up to parking spaces. Sam: bee I told you not to park like that all right lets go Jamie is riding my ass about taking to long so no wrong turns you ready to see Mikaela buddy. Bumblebee honks his horn. Sam: I’ll take that as a yes. Sam opens the door and gets in the driver’s seat. They drive out of the parking lot. (The motorcycle shop) Michaela’s dad: hey mikaela how long ago did we order those pizzas? Mikaela: dad it’s Sam delivering them so please don’t complain. Michaela’s dad: alright pumpkin I won’t embarrass you in front of your little boyfriend. Mikaela: dad you know you can be a real ass when you want to.

Um...?

Text wall?

@FI: Aw, man, I was hoping you weren't going to kill off Skids and Mudflap...

IF the excuse behind Mickey Mouse disappearing for a while was 'Unfortunate criminal enterprise involvement', this would actually be a really convenient excuse for an actor swap if what's-her-jiggle needs to get the boot.

Hollywood plastic surgery. Two scenes in head-to-toe bandages and then tada here's Macarena's new face.

Sadly, they've brought almost as much undue controversy to the franchise as Megan Fox herself.

If we're upping the ante by having Mikaela get whacked in order to show that things aren't a game anymore, then I figured we may as well whack a few Autobots.

It's not?

Spike ends up married with a family, and keeps having amazing adventures. Coby and Lori got married. Koji got a last outing with his friends before they departed. Rad, Carlos, and Alexis got jobs working with their old friends and apparently had successful careers. Kicker turned out alright too, all things considered. Sari had a bunch of friends, and while she didn't find out the whole story of where she came from, she certainly didn't end the series unhappy.

Then there's the Masterforce cast, and they turned out okay too.

I can't speak for comic characters, but most humans get a lot going for themselves when all is said and done.

So, what raging fanboy claiming to be an awesome inside source did this bit of drivel seep out from?

Um...I'm pretty sure her record was because she was an accomplice to Grand Theft Auto (Multiple Counts, going by Mikaela's admission of how "sometimes" her dad couldn't get a babysitter), not because she was covering for her father after a single attempt.

And even then, she's the one who turned her dad in, despite the fact she got leveled with charges too. And the record wasn't sealed - it was totally erased. Sam specifically stated: "Her Juvie Record? Gone. All of It." and Sector Seven proved to have the resources to do just that.



But getting back to a potential demise - I don't like it simply because despite the actress, Mikaela is one of the better characters to appear in Transformers Lore. She's an excellent counterbalance to Sam's "Screaming Girl Routine". Not to say Sam is a complete Lois Lane type victim, but Sam tends to arrive at the heroic destination after much deliberation. It certainly isn't in his character to threaten even a small Transformer with a blow torch to the eye, or even use a saw to chop the head off one.

... Those comments on that article made me want brain bleach.

After how Devy got taken out, is an Autobot combiner really needed?

How can you call it a spoiler when it will improve the movie so much? By doesn't treat story elements or characters with any care. I'm sure he'd have no problem offing Fox and throwing a new girl (let's say a blonde) into the film for eye candy, regardless of how it would make fans feel. Explosions, robots, and T&A will get the public in the seats.

General rule of thumb is you don't mess with the core characters when shooting for a Trilogy. If the working relationship between Megan Fox and Bay has become unmanageable, release her from her contract and recast her character. Megan Fox does not "own" Mikaela Barnes any more then Katie Holmes "owned" Rachael Dawes.

And hell, I'd rather have Maggie Gyllenhaal as Mikaela then Megan any day of the week.

A spoiler isn't something that ruins the enjoyment of a movie for you, it's something that reveals the plot before the movie comes out.

Well, I was thinking more along the lines of Burton's Batman, where the driving romantic subplot is about how he's afraid to let someone into his life, and he finally relents, and it's all good and everyone's happy... and in the next movie there's all of one line to say it didn't work out.


The series ends with his son becoming a cyborg (for lack of a better term) by necessity after a Decepticon almost kills him. Spike himself becomes a cyborg because (somehow) that made Fort Max powerful enough to take on Scorponok. Being binary-bonded may not be bad in itself (which depends HIGHLY on your POV and the media in question), but considering that it was forced by circumstances, I think there is something to be said there. Carly just disappears somewhere into the void of forgotten characters, where she hangs out with Sparkplug.

Can't speak to most of those. I'm a little shocked someone cared about half of those characters enough to know where/how they ended up. And Sari ends Animated as a technorganic (and STILL lacking a proper explanation for how that happened) on a planet of organiphobes. "Organics are icky and should be killed" is practically a rallying cry. It's happy as long as you don't think about it too much...


About half of them just disappear into the void. I guess you could call that happy...

Buster cheats death a few dozen times, gets blasted into space on a rocket full of Decepticons, then nearly gets killed about half a dozen times during the Underbase saga (although considering the storyline, he could be called one of the lucky ones). After that he just kinda gets forgotten.

Spike done blowed up real good trying to stop G2 Megatron. Didn't work so well for him.

Sparkplug doesn't like the TFs so much after Jazz gives him a heart attack. That his sons keep getting kidnapped/tortured/assaulted/injured/killed as a direct result of their conflict probably doesn't help.

Josie Beller (Circuit Breaker) is driven huggin' batjive insane after Shockwave causes her to become paralyzed. She gets better, kinda... until Blackrock is forced to shred her remaining sanity in order to get her to assault Unicron. After that she's paralyzed AND pretty much a vegetable.

G.B. Blackrock... is forced to drive a woman insane in what he knows is only a delaying tactic to keep Robot Satan from eating the planet he's standing on. And those Decepticons keep messing with his facilities, which I'm sure isn't doing good things for his company's stock.

And about half of Earth gets eaten by the Swarm in G2, which probably ties up a lot of the loose ends on most humans, what with them being vaporized and all.


The ones that survived, you mean? And that was just in the Marvel comics. Wait'll you hear about the hell Dreamwave put the fleshies through...

So yeah, given all that and more, I really don't think that turning Sam from being all lovey-dovey sparkle-eyes at Mikaela into an ex-boyfriend is really all that bad as far as human TF characters go, which is all I was trying to say.
