Did Megan Fox's mouth kill her 'Transformers' character?

Who knows if any of this is true, but it’s sure fun to think it might be.

This week, there have been reports on the internet that Transformers director Michael Bay is so ticked off at Megan Fox’s repeated swipes at him in the press that he’s planning on killing off her character in the first 15 minutes of the next Transformers movie. Petty? Sure. Vindictive? Absolutely. Delicious payback? And how.

Since Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen hit theaters back in June, Fox — an actress who no one had ever heard of before Bay cast her in the first Autobots/Decepticons smackdown– has called her boss “a d—” and compared him to Hitler. And when I interviewed her this past summer, she called him a sadist and said that working with Bay “is not about an acting experience.” Nice.

I get it. Being a loose cannon is part of her bad-girl, tattooed, Jessica Rabbit appeal. But there is such a thing as being ungrateful, right? So if Bay really does plan on having her onscreen alterego — Mikaela Banes — impaled by a shape-shifting Camaro or Mack truck that turns into a can opener or whatever, can you really blame the guy?

Would you still go to see a third Transformers movie where Fox gets killed off? Heck, would that make you more likely to see it?

    Couldn’t pay me to sit through a Transformers movie, but I wouldn’t mind watching on Youtube later.

  • kaci

    definitely more.

  • LoveTV

    Don’t know, the second was too long and boring. Not that excited about the 3rd one. Is Shia in it?

  • Adam

    What a stupid article. If people want to watch her die then just see Jennifer’s Body

    She isn’t being killed off in the Transformers series.

    Chris Nashawaty fails yet again.

    • maiv

      calm down popwatch just comments on things in pop culture and this rumor’s going around right now

    • Meganfan

      Yes You’re right

  • Melody

    Yeah kill her off. She is so stuck up and people only like her because guys are always talking about how ‘hot” she is.

    • Crazy asian920

      thats cuz she is HOT as Hell!!!!!!!

      • GermanKamote

        I second Demonyo.

  • Casey

    That’s one character death I fully support.

  • Joey

    Do it, Bay.

  • colin

    The first was enough for me. If this story is true, all he’s doing is “feeding the troll,” to lift some internet slang. His best course would be to avoid paying her any more money, but of course she’d get a ton for that 15 minutes, and a great chance to whine about being a big star some more.

  • Michael Bay

    Megan Fox was nothing before me. I’m Michael Bay dammit!

    • fann one

      well its not like your the best director . . and anybody could have made megan fox hot on the big screen because its not the film its her looks

      • Nick

        Not anybody would not have put an inflatable doll airhead into their mulit-million dollar movie. Megan Fox is one of a million “hot” airheads who cant act. Micheal Bay directs action movies thats what his known for. Fox is known for being skanky, being the poor mans version of jolie, and not being able to act for her life.

  • Adam

    oh and lol @ you stealing this rumor from IN TOUCH WEEKLY. Way to go!

  • Al

    After this summer, I don’t like Megan Fox, Michael Bay or Transformers. I don’t care actually.

    • jobo

      if you don’t care. y did u comment? =.= u people r really wierd.

    • chris

      ITA they all suck big time…

  • Joseph

    Shia LaBouf should be the only character returning for the next movie. Seriously, would anybody notice or care if Jon Turturro, Dushamel, and that uninteresting rapper turned actor not return for the next. You could kill off the entire human race in the third Transformers movie and it would still be a hit. Everybody knows that the Autobots and the Decepticons are the real stars of the movie. Nobody cares about the human characters in these movies anyway.

    • chris

      rock on

      • Billy

        agree 100% Everyone says the second movie was too long and dragged. That’s because Prime was dead for half of it. For the next one they should kill Sam for half and give the robots a good storyline

  • Stacey

    I doubt they will kill her off. If they do; it won’t be in the beginning of the movie. But if they do. I wouldn’t blame them. Given her bad mouthing of the movie and the director. So I wouldn’t be shocked. I might actually see the movie if they do. I only saw the first one. I boycotted the second one due to the overexposure of Megan Fox!

  • MrFord

    Megan Fox was the only thing that gave me enough courage to sit through those movies. If she’s not gonna be in them anymore, I finally have a good excuse to never watch them. Awesome!

    • Meganfan

      Me too.Without Megan, Transformers means nothing to me.

  • LTC

    Does it matter. I saw 1 & 2, they’ll have to PAY ME to see the next one. People, please let’s stop encouraging bad film making. Don’t see any more of these.
