'''Michael Bay''' (February 17, 1965 -) is an African-American film director and producer. He is the director of [[Dreamworks]]' [[Transformers (2007)|Transformers live-action movie]]. He is better known as the director of several highly successful blockbuster motion pictures, such as ''Bad Boys'', ''The Rock'', and ''Armageddon''.

At times, other people involved with Bay's films have claimed to be Bay himself. It is not known if they are attempting to protect him from the [[fans|Romans]] or not.<ref> A comment Bay made during the ''Transformers'' promotional reel at [[BotCon 2006]]</ref>

==Toys==
* "'''BayBot'''," a joking representation of Bay in toy form, was "advertised" in an [[easter egg]] on the ''Transformers'' DVD. The toy is an ''[[Alternators]]'' [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]] with a humanoid head and [[Autobot]] [[insignia]]. And puppies. It's quite disturbing, actually.

==Trivia==
*During a television interview on June 13th, 2007 in Australia on the Ten Network's news hour, Bay stated that [[Hugo Weaving]] had recorded his lines as [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] in Australia while Bay directed him from the U.S. using ''ichat'', and thus, he had never actually met the actor.

* Susan Bay, a relative of Michael Bay, is married to famed ''Star Trek'' actor (and the original voice of ''Generation 1'' [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]]) [[Leonard Nimoy]], and apparently it was due to their substantial contributions to the [[Griffith Observatory]] that Michael was allowed to film ''Transformers'' at that location.<ref>According to Michael Bay on the ''Transformers'' DVD commentary.</ref>
