In a very interesting turn of events, a conversation happening on Michael Bay‘s official forum seems to suggest Megan Fox is back for Transformers 4.
It all started when Paramount Pictures made an Instagram image about the recently revealed Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 Coupe with the hashtag #MeganFox. Pretty soon, S4TE member MV95 informed this to other members. Later, forum admin Nelson replied mistaking it for a Twitter post. Here’s what happened:
MV95 wrote: So the Paramount Pictures official Instagram page posted a photo of the new Lamborghini on their page with the hashtag #MeganFox. Could this be telling us something or (more realistically) is this a mistake or plot to get more views?Nelson wrote: Keep in mind that Twitter allows 140 characters max (including spaces). That was a fake tweet cause it had way more than 140 characters.
Conversation got pretty interesting when another member pointed out that it had nothing to do with the character limit:

Moments later, the Instagram image was removed from the Paramount Pictures account. But we have a copy for posterity. Check it out after the jump.
We are yet to know what’s going behind the scenes. This news comes not too long after Director Michael Bay replying “No” to the return of Megan Fox for the Transformers Franchise. However after burying the hatchet, she is currently playing the role of April O’ Neil for Michael Bay’s upcoming live action movie “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” based on the popular franchise of the same name.
Could Megan Fox be returning for “Transformers 4” after all? Leave your thoughts at the thread associated with this news post.

Also Nelson is the one who handles the twitter for shoot for the edit site. He was the one who tried to stop it with oh yea this is a fake post only 140 characters allowed. Nice try and then gets caught and says someone is in trouble this week….
MV95
They're quoting an article from April.

They are trying to cover up the mess that has been started by the # Instagram photo. There is so much publicity over it that it makes sense to deny it. But in all reality we know Bay has away of lying and saying oh there not in it and long behold they are. It makes sense to have her tie the movies together.

Michael Bay Shoots Down Megan Fox TRANSFORMERS 4 Rumors

The Shoot for the Edit twitter is saying she's not in it. I tend to agree with it.
Smashs
I meant she probably needs a paycheck larger than she's had since 2009, so she likely tucked her bitchy tail between her bitchy legs and groveled for a job.
Dormamu
^ Yes she did. She also was in the movie.
I'm thinking this is somehow code for <insert female heroine counterpart here>. Fox has moved onto much better things. Like ruining TMNT for us.
scourge88
I really hope she does. She fit in the movies better even thought she was shitty actor. Rosie sucked big time.

I made a short film a few years ago that explained what happen to her after ROTF! Barricade totally steps on her in it! You'd love it!
It's called "Date Night"

I hope she does come back. Her character needs closure after being put on the bus for DOTM. Plus her being there means she fulfills the fanservice element instead of forcing it on Peltz and Myles.

It may also be she is just taking another role,we shall see.

I for one was one of those that thought the book was way better than the movie. I loved that Ironhide fought and killed many dreads by himself, I loved that the twins went out like true Autobots and tried to take the fight to Sentinel for him killing Hide. I loved that Mirage was Mirage and that he cloaked. And that Starscream killed Mirage, and Wheeljack died by being ripped apart at the bottom of a lake by cons. The scenes were way more dramatic in the book too.
I like others voiced how much better the book was than the movie and Bay didn't like hearing it I suppose and does not the books or comics undermining what he wants to be THE WAY IT HAPPENED.

Oh god no…

if she is in this i hope it a small part. I can not stand her
i don't know y but she gets on my nerves

MV95
Really? I swore he just said comic.
Rumblestorm
He said there would be neither a comic or a novel because he doesn't want people ruining it for everyone before the film's release.
MV95
Well, he said no comic. I'm not sure about the book adaptation but I definitely don't want it released. If they must, release it like 2 weeks after it it's theaters. If that book comes before the movie, some idiot is gonna put a spoiler on Facebook, twitter, etc and it's going to ruin it for me just like DOTM.

Not only is this extremely plausible, I actually hope this where they take Mikeala in TF4. It'd be a great way to tie this film to the first three.
