Unless I'm completely stupid, didn't she drop out of Transformers: Dark of the Moon becuase she didn't like how Bay portrayed her and now she's going back to work with him again?
Predictions:
The foot soldiers will be portrayed as robots like in the cartoon.
Because they can explode.
The Technodrome will be involved.
Because it can explode.
Mousers will be used.
Because they explode.
Baxter Stockman, instead of being a fly, will have a jetsuit.
Because that can explode.
Those obnoxious electro-whip robots from the video game will be used.
Because they explode.
The Turtle Van will explode.
Because it can explode.
Krang's suit will be used.
Because it can explode.
The turtles will become unstable due to mutagen/radioactivity and explode.
Also they will secretly be robots.
Because those explode.
I disagree.
Far too many of those things you reference actually exist in the source material. No way with Bay use them.
