Michael Bay, the director of the 2007 Transformers movie, has left a message on his board, letting fans know that he has not lost his hope to one day release the Transformers movie on the High Definition format of Blu-Ray. The following has been taken directly from his post.

"Well another studio down. Maybe I was right? Blu ray is just better. HD will die a slow death. It's what I predicted a year ago. Now with Warner's down for the count with Blu Ray. That makes it easier for Wal-Mart to push Blu Ray. And whatever Wal-Mart pushes - wins. Hd better start giving out those $120 million dollars checks to stay alive. Maybe they can give me some so I can give it to my Make-A-Wish charity, just to shut me up. Have faith people Transformers will come out in Blu-ray one day!

Bay".
