Bay to naopak jako restart nikdy neviděl: “No [it’s not a reboot]. We’re basically taking from the history of where it was — or where we left it in Chicago. And we’re going to carry it on from there.” A nic se právě do budoucna měnit nebude. Bay to točí proto, aby nastavil směr nový trilogie a tudíž to někdo nemohl udělat jinak. *:D* Komický vysvětlení tady: “I thought I was done. Then the ride came out [at Universal Studios Hollywood] and the two-and-a-half-hour lines. And then you’re thinking, Oh my God, someone’s going to take this over. And you start doing a lot of soul-searching. Like, OK, I’m about to do a little movie, Pain & Gain … and the studio says they want to restart the franchise. And someone could come in here and screw it up, you know? So I’m thinking that if I do this last one, we set it on a new footing, we change a lot of things — but we keep the history of the three in place. But we broaden it so it can be set up and be carried on — it would have a better chance for survival, I guess. You know?”

Restart je v podstatě čtyřka (i když to je technicky pokračování s novejma lidskejma postavama), která zároveň nakopává novou trilogii. Takže pětka vlastně bude "dvojka".

a GI Joe bude pokračovat ve stopách jedničky (wheeee), nebo dvojky (ať si to strčí hodně ale opravdu hodně hluboko do pr....)?
