'''Michael Bay''' (February 17, 1965 -) is an 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>

*According to Bay on the ''Transformers'' DVD commentary, the human bystander that Megatron flicks aside during the Mission City sequence was Bay himself (though it may have merely been a CGI puppet made in his appearance). This 'cameo' replaces one he filmed where he was the driver of the silver Mercedes-Benz ML320 that Megatron tosses aside.

* Two of Michael Bay's dogs are linked to Transformers. One, [[Mason the Mastiff|Mason]], is the dog Miles is seen giving a bath to during the film. A new puppy he got while working on the film was named [[Bonecrusher (Movie)| Bonecrusher]]. No word yet on what, if anything, the dog hates.

* He starred in a Verizon FiOs commercial in which he had an awesome pussy cat (a tiger), an awesome grill (with a life-size Bumblebee, also awesome), and an awesome pool. Typically, he had a switch to blow something up, which he did. Three times.

[[Image:Lori.jpg|right|thumb|300px|A [[transformer|cranky]] [[Alexis|female/male]] annoyed by her [[michael bay |immature]] [[Rad White|male]] [[Carlos Lopez|companions]]. I discern a trend.]]

'''Lori''' is an adolescent female [[human]] who assists the [[Autobots]] during the search for the [[Cyber Planet Key|Cyber Planet Keys]]. Raised in the city, her family recently moved to rural [[Colorado]], a place she hates. While she certainly outshines her friends [[Bud Hansen|Bud]] and [[Coby Hansen|Coby]] in the social arena, she is not perfect, and more often than not, she can be reduced to immature shouting matches with Coby. She has a very intense... rivalry with Coby.

Coby is a boy her age.

During the battle to save [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] from the [[Unicron Singularity]], Lori befriended [[Override (Cybertron)|Override]] (Override being "Big Sister" and Lori "Little Sister") and [[Scourge (Cybertron)|Scourge]], leaders of [[Velocitron]] and the [[Jungle Planet]]. She also quickly developed a deep and abiding hatred of the female [[Decepticon]] "floozy" [[Thunderblast (Decepticon)|Thunderblast]].

Lori is a particular influence on the powerful Scourge; a constant and disquieting reminder to the dictator of his onetime desire to protect the weak that lay at the root of his quest for power... and that strength is more than merely physical.

Over the course of her time with the Transformers, her longtime friendship with [[Coby Hansen|Coby]] developed into something far more, developing into a dating relationship after the destruction of the [[Unicron Singularity]] and [[Megatron (Armada)|Galvatron]], even though her [[Ernesto|father]] vocally objected to her having a boyfriend at her age. Many years after the four colony world ships were sent to the far corners of the universe to expand the [[Space Bridge]], she and Coby married.

Laserbeak (Armada)

2008-04-01T00:48:29Z

75.90.131.30: /* Trivia */

{{Template:Disambig3|Laserbeak}}

:''Laserbeak is an [[Autobot]] in the [[Armada]] portion of the [[Unicron Trilogy]] continuity family.''

'''Laserbeak''' is an orange flying thingamajig with three modes - a bird mode, camera mode, and laser gun mode.

''Japanese name:'' '''Cyberhawk'''

==Fiction==
===Animated continuity===
====''Armada''====
Laserbeak was a drone-like creation of [[Red Alert (Armada)|Red Alert]] meant to give [[Rad White|Rad]], [[Carlos Lopez|Carlos]], and [[Alexis]] the ability to help the Autobots during battle while staying off the battlefield through spying.

===Dreamwave continuity===
====''Armada''====
Laserbeak was initially sent out to spy on Megatron's capture of the Air Defense Team on Earth. He fled the scene once Demolishor spotted him.
Later on, he was sent to deliver a message to Scavenger and Smokescreen, informing them to take care of Megatron's launch base by any means necessary. Unfortunately, the response came twenty minutes too late.
His final action was monitoring Megatron's activities on Cybertron, so that Hot Shot, Red Alert and Scavenger could follow him to deliver payback for his crippling of Smokescreen.

===''Transformers Legends'' anthology===

==Toys==
===Armada===
* '''Laserbeak''' (Roleplay, 2002)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''MC-05'''
:Laserbeak transforms from a Cybertronic bird to a camcorder and a "Laser gun" (really just a camcorder with a handle, but that doesn't stop [[For safety reasons|legislation]]). Its design is highly show accurate, except for the above-mentioned gun mode, which oddly was depicted more in-fiction as a camcorder with a handle.

==Trivia==
* Laserbeak's original showing at ToyFair and art indicate that the colors were originally meant to be in classic black and red. It is likely that, due to Laserbeak having a "gun" mode (albeit very abstract), it was changed to orange and blue to get around toy gun laws.
* Like [[Megatron (RID)|Megatron Megabolt]], Laserbeak can be used as an alternate head for [[Fortress Maximus|Fortress]]/[[Brave Maximus|Brave]]/[[Grand Maximus|Grand]] Maximus. Pretty weird head, but it [[Shockwave (G1)|wasn't]] [[rattrap (G1)|the first]] and it [bu[(Movie)|won't be]] [[Speed Dial 800|the last]].
