I only ask because I have been trying to see things both ways when it comes to Bay, but as a 80s baby I just cant. It seems that folks who didnt grow up watching G1 TF and TMNT don't really have that much of a problem with him but guys who did want to castrate the man. I liked TF1, hated TF2, and TF3 was ok. As a whole, the franchise is a slap in the face to the fans who grew up with the show. The man actually said he thought the show was stupid and the cartoon movie was terrible. Renamed characters as he saw fit. Killed off fan favorites. And now for the rest of time Bumblebee will never talk again. (Id pay to hear his thoughts on this) If he wanted to do a movie based on giant robots fighting the military nothing was stopping him. I feel like he sits in a room with pictures of our favorite 80s shows on the wall and throws darts at them to determine which one goes in the toilet next. (crossing my fingers for Thundercats and SilverHawks) Why even come out and say that you're a part of a team putting together a TMNT movie, say that you are changing the origin, listen to fans get pissed, and then tell said fans "they need to chill"? Why even make the movie have anything to do with TMNT? Just make your own franchise up, right? Wrong. That man is Satan in 80s clothing. So to answer your question....wait, what was the question?

I'm 27. I never watched the Transformers films because I had no interest. I've only seen a few of his movies and the ones I've seen weren't altogether terrible. Armageddon is still the only natural disaster flick I like.

So yeah, he absolutely has something to do with this film.

It's my understanding based on what he's said and what others have said, that his creative control on the project is almost zero.

Also read these exerpts from the leaked script that has also been rumored to have caused the movie to be pushed back to a later release date.

I've read the entire script and the "alien" thing isn't even the worst part. The Turtles are from Dimension X. Okay, I can deal with it. Shredder being a colonel named Schrader? Multiple f-bomb drops? General poor writing all over? Yeah, that's troublesome.

Bay said though that that script was from Paramount Pictures before his company even got involved.

The film might indeed end up being entirely shit. I'm just saying it's a little naïve to be jumping the gun this early in development and also making Bay into a martyr just because he pooped on Transformers. If the movie ends up sucking, there's an entire line of people to blame before getting to him. It's not his film any more than the Friday the 13th reboot was.
