I just found the whole discussion on Hisstank ironic and a little "grass is greener". Especially about how Bay would be better than Sommers, when I'm sure there are others on TFW who would have wanted the opposite. In fact, there's probably a few fans who STILL want Bay off DOTM.
Well I think Bay on GI Joe would be more entertaining. Dude has a good working relationship with the US military so chances are, we wouldn't see a civilian vehicle turned into a Cobra one but have all vehicles based on real world military stuff. Oh Ace and Slipstream need fighters? BAM que in the USMC, USAF or USN. Kick ass helos? Army has them covered. I wouldn't expect a Bay helmed Joe movie to be in depth and involved, but I think it has potential to be far more entertaining than what we got.

Comparison:

Bay:
  • Good connects with the military
  • Massive explosions guaranteed
  • Good audio/sound engineering(this is something I LOVED from both TF movies)
  • Lots of action
  • No lack of fights
  • Sometimes has visuals which don't break the 180 rule
  • Ton of well implemented special effects
Sommers:
  • Basically turned his long planned Accelerator movie into Rise of Cobra
  • Ice sank...
  • Special effects not as good
  • Fast pace but scenes lack sense of urgency
  • Random stuff..really, MARS vehicles could be controlled via use of the Scottish language? Okay...
Certainly there are things left out, but ultimately I think Bay would make a better movie.
