Transformers...
I can't beleive it. I grew up with the transformers. My brother and I were close in age so we both use to watch the cartoon. Now they plan on making a live action movie..... 
Michael Bay may direct 'Transformers'
Wednesday, April 6, 2005 Posted: 10:00 AM EDT (1400 GMT)
LOS ANGELES, California (Hollywood Reporter) -- Michael Bay is in talks to direct the DreamWorks/Paramount live-action adaptation of "The Transformers," Hasbro's popular 1980s toy line of giant robots that morph into cars, trucks, planes, ships and other technological creations.
The move would reteam the director with DreamWorks, which is handling domestic distribution on the movie. Bay is helming DreamWorks' upcoming summer release "The Island," a co-production with Warner Bros. Pictures. (Warner Bros. is a division of Time Warner, as is CNN.)
Bay also would reunite with writers Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, who, under their two-year, first-look deal with DreamWorks, rewrote "Island" and wrote "Transformers."
The Transformers are divided into two groups of robots, one led by Optimus Prime, which believes in tolerance and the sanctity of life, the other by Megatron, which espouses survival of the fittest and the extermination of biological life.
A November 17, 2006, release date has been set. Bay's credits include the two "Bad Boys" movies, "Pearl Harbor," "Armageddon" and "The Rock."

Don't get excited yet...
I kind of agree with the Yahoo links sentiments regarding Director Bay:
"The announcement of Michael Bay makes me serious ask, are you sure? Because hiring Bay makes you look like you really don't get it (taking TF fans seriously) Bay's got a lousy track record, and I feel comfortable calling him out on that. I honestly don't think he will deliver a decent "Transformers" movie."
I just hope that the talks don't go any where and they get a good director like Rodriguez.
