Money, violence, sex, computer graphics, scatalogical humor, racism, robots designed to be rednecks but given European accents, and maybe another sequel to the saga... what's not to love? TF m1, Revenge of the Fallen, Dark of the Moon and now Age of Extinction.
Following “Pain and Gain,” Bay will bring audiences a new take on the “Transformers” franchise as he begins production on the fourth installment in the hit series of movies based on the best-selling Hasbro toyline. The third, and most recent installment of the franchise, “Transformers: Dark of the Moon,” is the fourth highest global grossing film of all time with 1.124 billion dollars of worldwide box office success. Directed by Bay, the movie will re-unite the filmmaking team from the hit franchise, including producers Lorenzo di Bonaventura, Don Murphy, Tom DeSanto and Ian Bryce; and executive producers Steven Spielberg, Bay, Brian Goldner and Mark Vahradian. Paramount Pictures will release the film on June 29th, 2014.
I honestly didn't have as much issue with Bay's take on TF as everyone else did, but it should would be nice to see a new take on such a thing. Ah well.
I am not sure what this means as far as newxt year's toys go. (Hasbro said that there would be movie toys....for the line they stopped supporting this year?
I dunno.
Maybe Hasbro will make another show that they will not market figure for until the end? The post-G2 style drought that JT mentioned elsewhere is unlikely. But, we could see the kind of drifting that we say in '04....right in time for the 30th anniversary of the franchise.
That said, I think the extra year break might free up people's perceptions of the line. We've gotten Movie Toys every other year since 2007, and in 2010 we were 'still' getting them anyway because of the yellowbox line. It's no wonder DOTM is failing, there was almost no break between ROTF and it.

People spend so much time worrying about whether a figure is "mint" or not that they never stop to consider other flavours.

I think I’ll deal with it by enjoying watching all the people getting blood-boilingly-butthurt over two hours of mediocre filmmaking. Plus, hey, new Movie toys, and I’m pretty much the only one in the world who still likes those! I’ll also be interested in seeing if those rumors about Jason Statham in the fourth one turn out to be true.
Actually, I just realized, you know what’s incredibly likely, going into a fourquel? Spoiler
