From MediaWiki
Michael Bay (February 17, 1965 -) is an American film director and producer. He is the director of Dreamworks' 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 Romans or not. [1]
He truly recent that his movie is only available in HD DVD format, when the Blue Ray disk is currently the "the leading, and superior" one. He blames big evil corporation for willingly messing the situation. [2] Maybe he's not so unlike the fans after all.

Toys
- "BayBot," a joking representation of Bay in toy form, was "advertised" in a hidden bonus feature on the Transformers DVD. The toy is an Alternators 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 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) 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. [4]
