Soundwave Superior, Michael Bay Inferior
Michael Bay wasn’t the only one inducted into the Transformers Hall of Fame at Botcon; Soundwave also received the honor, as well getting his own video. You know, despite all my problems with the Bayformers movies, I have no problems with Bay entering the TF Hall of Fame. Seriously; regardless of quality, his Transformers movies have made a ton of money, are clearly successes, and for good or ill, he’ll be forever linked with the Transformers franchise. However, I do think it’s worth pointing out that Michael Bay’s video was full of people lying about his talents, while Soundwave’s was not… just footage of people getting down. Advantage: Soundwave.
