According to MTV, it's going to be a reboot:

I guess that answers how they're going to get around the fact that all of the bad guys are dead and Cybertron is destroyed.

If that's the case,then perhaps they may explore more of the later G1 lore? (I'm being too hopeful here)

Hope it is a reboot also. I don't even want to hope for anything more specific than that. To be honest, there is only one reason: Toys.

Though I do not LOVE or HATE the movies, I did enjoy seeing the characters on screen (though I will admit some were not quite the same ones I remember). I wouldn't even care if 4 was in the same universe with the same characters but I hope it will be a reboot because I cannot be happy with another line of toys dedicated to the (almost) same designs since movie 1. This last line was particularly bad for that as they didn't have many non-movie characters and didn't have many of the new characters that were created for the movie in toy form. We got plenty of OP and BBs but not a single Que, Dino or Soundwave (yet) and that is really sad. To make a few new key characters and ignore them toy wise with the amount of re-paints is a travesty in my eyes.

No interest in seeing more classic characters get butchered and bug faced.

I am sure Bay & co can dump out TF4 by 2014. Bay is not Christopher Nolan or JJ Abram. He doesn't care about story or characters. Just more explosions, close-up on the boobs and asses, fart jokes and non-sense. Oh I am sure it will make even more money than DOTM. As for toys, I am not even thinking about it.

I think your giving some directors way too much credit.

I hope it's a reboot and focused on Beast Wars, I would love to see if Bay can give it any justice
If Bay is not available, then I hope that George Lucas can take the reins

Jokes aside, I would love to see TF4 get the Battlestar Gallactica treatment, in respect to how that show matured from the original, in story, acting, and overall quality.

Perhaps I am, but there's no denying Nolan and Abrams are much better directors than Bay.

Unless Paramount/Dreamworks decided to make a live action TV series, with a producer with the sc-fi predigree Ron D Moore, there's no frakking way TF will get the serious treatment like BSG. BSG was a show for grown-ups. TF will forever stay as a kids show because Hasbro will not make TF an 18+ show. Can you imagine Ironhide having drinking problem like Tigh? Or Arcee having emotional issue like Starbuck?

Cool! Bring Prowl and Cyclonus into the film series, please!

Yeah, next thing you know they'll have a major character prepare to commit seppuku on-screen, or have a character with severe PTSD due to the loss of past partners.

Lol, that would be awesome, just picturing Tigh drinking and being belligerent

Personally, I think it would be a smart move on Hasbro and friends to bring up the maturity level. They could have two different movie lines or tv lines one for the kiddies and one for the adults. You can bet the kiddies sooner than later will be wanting what the parents/adults are watching more than the slag they are accustomed to.

It happens all the time too, when you think about say action figures for Gears of War, Halo, Dark Knight, etc. Those toys are marketed to kids yet they are not the target market for those media, weird eh?
