Michael Bay, You Sir, Are a Liar: Megatron Returns in Transformers 2 and New MTV Featurette

Posted on Saturday, February 21st, 2009 by Peter Sciretta

Michael Bay

Remember when Michael Bay said that Megatron wouldn’t be in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen?

CUT TO: Empire Magazine, January 2009

MICHAEL BAY
 He’s not in this movie. That’s not misinformation.

CUT BACK TO: Today, Transformer fansite TFW2005’s Message Boards

ROBERTO ORCI (CO-WRITER)
Megatron returns! Keep it quiet! :)

Michael Bay, you sir are a liar! And that’s part of the reason we love you. That and your ability to blow shit up in impossible locations around the world and capture it on the screen like a ADD chimpanzees with a 35mm camera. Okay, we’re over it. After the jump, you will see a new featurette that aired on MTV on Saturday  and introduces us to the world of Transformers.

    Forget about Megatron, I can't wait to see the Devastator
  • Did anyone else say this guy's post in an Arnold Schwarzenegger accent?
  • Right on, bro.
  • thankyoufor
    I don't love you Michael Bay
  • yeah ! AND WE DONT LOVE YOU U FUCKHEAD !
  • Cat
    Devastator will not be in the movie. Only demolisher, the constructicon.
  • U ARE THE BIGGEST IDIOT I EVER HEARD ABOUT !!!!! Devastor IS gona be in the movie. And the Constructicons name is Demolishor not
    Demolisher u stupied fuckhead ballsucking freak
  • yup
    ahhahahahahahha noobiboy111, that was the funniest reply everrrr! hahaahhaha
  • hahah thx yeah he is really a fuckhead....
  • I cant wait to see both :) altho I was pretty disgusted with the so-called Devastator in the 1st Transformers.. a pathetic tank who does NOT deserve that name like FRAKKING EVER!!
  • yes the enemy is bigger and stronger and faster

    and the explosions are bigger and badder and cooler

    and it's much more colleger

    the adjectives keep on spilling out for this _______er film.
  • wtf means with more colleger ? :S
  • the two characters just want to be in college.
  • Spielberg did the same thing with INDY 4 he said Shia wasn't Indy's son, but low and behold! but yes we do love them... but steven... my patience grows thin
  • [A]
    You love Michael Bay? Gods /film officially turned to shit.
  • Dude, I agree. /Film has completely lost its way. How dare they love a director who seeks to entertain them with giant CG robots and Megan Fox's abdomen? F-that, sir.
  • Seriously, spoiler warning next time will ya...
  • It's not a spoiler if they have toys of him on toy store shelves. Also, he was used in one of the promotional websites before fans saw it, made a big fuss, and Paramout had them remove him from the mix. I would be EXTREMELY surprised if he wasn't featured in any of the movie trailers. Basically what I'm saying is... Trust me, its not a spoiler.
  • While I expected his return I would have liked to find out live. If an official trailer comes out with Megatron fine. But the director of the film still made an effort for this to be a surprise and thus this is a spoiler.

    There were toys for the first movie that weren't actually in it. Acree for example.

    I'm not saying not to post a story like this I just think it should have been after the break.
  • It would have been impossible to title the story "Michael Bay, You Sir, Are a Liar" if we did that, and thus wouldn't be worth posting :) No seriously, I'm 99% confident that by the time the film is released, the fact that Megatron is involved will be evident in the widespread <font style="color: rgb(0, 100, 0) ! important; font-family: &quot;Lucida Grande&quot;,Verdana,Arial,Sans-Serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 13px; position: static;" color="#006400">marketing</font>. Plus, anyone with a good eye would have already seen Megatron's fingers grabbing Shia in the trailer.
  • To be fair it is a sweet headline.

    If he Megatron is never featured in the marketing campaign you should have to apologize to me on the /filmcast after dark.

    If Megatron is never featured in the marketing campaign you should have to apologize to me on the /filmcast after dark soon after release.
  • Deal
  • We love Michael Bay in the same way we kinda liked Speed Racer
  • But Speed Racer had a coherent story. And was actually good on other merits other than Giant Robots.
  • Matt
    Giant robots are a pretty big merit.
  • a giant merit if you will...
  • I would argue that most of Bay's movies are fun regardless of story. And maybe even funner (yes, I know, not a word) because of unintentional cheesiness and bad story.
  • Bad Boys, Armageddon and The Island (which was actually good) are the only ones that come to mind. I'll take your argument and just agree. :)
  • Wait, you didn't like The Rock? It's probably his best "film"
  • Shit, Forgot he did that one too. A friend of mine just reminded me he did the Island. Those movies I enjoyed so much, I just forgot he did them. Neglectful. I know.
  • Shit, Forgot he did that one too. A friend of mine just reminded me he did the Island. Those movies were good enough to make me forget he directed them. Neglectful. I know.
  • back when nicholas cage made movies you could watch.
  • Clint Barton
    I can not stand Nic Cage as an actor. So he kind of killed The Rock for me.

    Have you ever noticed that after an actor/actress stars in a film with Nic Cage, their career goes downhill quick:
    1. Jessica Beal and Julianne Moore (Next)
    2. What did Sean Connery do after The Rock
    3. Travolta made like one film since Face/Off
    4. Meg Ryan had a great career after City of Angels
    5. I can't even remember the last time I saw Gary Sinise in a film.

    Let's hope McLovin does succumb to the same fate in the upcoming Kick-Ass. Cause the kid was awesome in Superbad and Role Models.
  • dip
    the island was a fucking bad copy of THX 1138. that movie (the island) really made me angry (even though Scarlett Johansson can't really do anything wrong imo).
  • nillerJ
    I just kept thinking how cool the movie would have been without product placement in everyones face and a better director at the helm.
  • Weyland_Yutani
    Scarlett as a clone = best SFX ever. If they do an Island sequel, Bay just needs to replace McGregor with Megan Fox and count the money.

    I bet Andy Sidaris dreamed of being Michael Bay.
  • I get a pass on that "we". I don't like Bay's films at all.
  • Rob
    Even the extensively researched, thoughtful, analytical, accurate-to-a-fault depiction of war and its participants that was Pearl Harbour?

    Sorry, couldn't resist...
  • gah
    Bay is a master of deception. And decepticon.
  • Soooooooooooo. The feature just showed random explosions... and the cast and crew talking about explosions. What's new?
  • Daniel
    There were so many explosions though, how can you be dissapointed?!
  • GREAT movie. One of my favorites. The characters line's are extremely laughable tho sometimes
  • "Cos it's you, you're the rocket man."
  • Mecline
    Classic.
  • fordicon
    "Losers try their best, winners go home and f**k the prom queen" best line from the Rock (or any other movie).
  • Palmer
    Damn that Michael Bay. DAMN HIM! May his pants be eternally on fire!
  • I think Bay just blew up the Pyramids. American Secret agent cover as a director that blows hot spots for no reason. you be the judge.
  • hahaha yeah man the Pyramids are for sure gone, its just dust left XD
