Well, Hasbro is the one that let him have "fun" with the Transformers franchise. The millions of non-fans made him his money. He has nothing to thank us for.

Again, I say he's full of it. You know in the back of his mind he's saying "Thank GOD I'm leaving this crap behind!" as he counts his piles of money...

Future Michael Bay quotes:

 

"That wasn't me on the set of TF4 holding a megaphone."

 

"Ok, that was me.... surprise!.... and No, Megatron is not in this movie."

i remember in early interviews,that,when approached by spielberg,bay was reluctant to work on transformers,saying that he didn't know what to do with it (i think he still doesn't),so it really seems as if he's being politic and trying to make us (the fans) feel better about his work on transformers.it just feels vaguely condescending to me.i'm glad he won't be back.if nothing else,i got sick of the megan fox crap-it really felt as if bay were in the theatre next to me and kept nudging me,"dude!isn't she the hottest chick ever?!...and i was this close to her on the set!hehehe"...let's not get into the burying of plot points under set pieces and explosions.go back to your tonka trucks in the sandpit behind your mom's house,mr.bay.

I think when he says fans, he means the people who have been seeing the movies. I mean, people outside the fandom don't refer to the fandom when referring to fans. Either way, just a polite little thing for any franchise worker to say when they're leaving. Nothing wrong with that.

He's thanking us for not uniting the factions and trolling the hell out of his forum. I'm actually surprised such a call to arms never happened to be honest. :tfpwn

That must've been the explanation for RoTF. The bulbs weren't bright enough. Sure.

[Tripredacus]

The bulbs weren't bright enough. Sure.

 

I think you just said it, Somewhere, someone's bulbs weren't bright enough. Its possible it wasn't necessarily the theater you're thinking of here. :tflaugh

Oh I fully intended the double entendre.
