Why get all the anger at Michael Bay, though?

That's completely incorrect. Galen Walker was already working on producing a new adaptation before the Nick buyout. Viacom laid out the money with the intentions of Paramount distributing a new TMNT movie-- PD didn't bring them the idea. It was part of the plan from day one. A supposedly REALLY good script was generated in 2009 by John Fusco, but PD sold Paramount on their pitch of using the Transformers formula.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD SOMEONE LEAK THE FUSCO SCRIPT!
