Michael Bay Might Do Transformers 4, Nerds Everywhere Freak Out. UPDATED!

UPDATE:Thanks to TFW2005.com for aggregating the news, but there's some very interesting pieces of information regarding the TRANSFORMERS 4 rumors. First, there's the fact that Tyrese "Left Cheek" Gibson tweeted this earlier today around 8 hours ago  from this posting: "Transformers 4 ......................................................... In MOTION!!!!!!!"
Then, there's the quote taken from a random commenter at the Michael Bay forums that seems to be full of interesting tidbits. Check out the TFW2005 link above for the quote and join the discussion. Does this mean all the rumors are true and we'll be for certain getting another Michael Bay Transformers movie? 

Original Story: If there's one thing I've learned in my short time about writing about movies is two things: comedians might be the most money-whoring beings on the planet (see: GROWN UPS 2) and Michael Bay will always do TRANSFORMERS movie whether anyone that's not a studio suit wants him to or not. According to Vulture, it seems that Bay is close to signing a deal with Paramount to come back to the adventures of our favorite Cybertronians after filming his "small film," PAIN & GAIN about a group of dim-witted bodybuilders that kidnap a business man. Hit the jump for more details.

In This Week's Installment Of "People Freaking Out Way Too Much": Possible First Looks At The Batwing from THE DARK KNIGHT RISES

Javi here, I wanted to write about this a while ago, but if you know where I work and what's been going on, I've been really really busy.  But hey! It's the weekend, so let's talk some obligatory weekly THE DARK KNIGHT RISES news.  Apparently there's been a reported sighting of what people speculate might be the Batwing.  Thanks to Batman-News for the pics and subsequent video. Check them out after the break.

New Transformers:Dark Of The Moon characters revealed (SPOILERS)

Javi here giving you the latest about the upcoming Transformers movie:

If there's one thing that I've learned from watching the TRANSFORMERS movie franchise is that toys will spoil the hell out of any movie. We saw that happen with the last two movies, with GREEN LANTERN toys, and now with DARK OF THE MOON. http://www.tfw2005.com/ 's posted a series of listings that give us more information about characters in the upcoming movie from site www.dotmtoys.com.











The highlights from this list are:

Leader Sentinel Prime
Leader Bumblebee
Voyager Optimus Prime with Trailer
Voyager Ironhide
Deluxe Autobot Ratchet
Deluxe Autobot Skids
Deluxe Sideswipe
Deluxe Roadbuster
Deluxe Sponsor Car 2 (Wrecker)
Deluxe Arcee
Deluxe Air Ride
Deluxe Jolt
Voyager Military Helicopter
Voyager Megatron
Deluxe Starscream
Deluxe Barricade
Deluxe Crankcase
Voyager New Villain

This gives us further evidence that the robot found in the teaser trailer is indeed Sentinel Prime. He will be, at least, a semi-important character given that he will have a $45 toy. The identity of Roadbuster is unknown, but I have seen some people speculate that it could be the red Ferrari shown on the set.  The Optimus Prime toy with his trailer is no surprise to people; there have been Chicago pictures where the Autobot leader has his old 1980's trailer back.

The listing also confirms that the NASCAR vehicles will indeed be called The Wreckers. Air Ride is completely unknown but might be a misspelled Air Raid, who is a member of the Autobot flying team the Aerialbots of who Air Raid is a member of.

The Voyager Megatron is the tanker that has been known for a while to be his new vehicle mode (yay for an ACTUAL vehicle mode). What's interesting is that the police car, Barricade, will return as a toy even though he did not appear in the last movie. Could this mean that his mysterious disappearance in the first movie will be finally be explained? And the Mystery Villain will most likely be Shockwave who has been known to be the main villain of this movie for a while.

I will say that as a Transformers fan, the movies haven't been that great, but speculating about the movie and its characters is half of the fun for me.  The movie comes out in theaters July 1, 2011.
