Battle of the ’bots became battle of the egos when Meg blabbed about her director’s tyrannical tendencies: “He wants to be like Hitler on set.”

Bay shot back: “Nobody knew about Megan Fox until I put her in Transformers.”

They seem to have made up since (“Her crazy quips are part of her crazy charm,” Bay blogged) but looks like he’s treading carefully now T3 has started shooting, stating: “Megan Fox, welcome back. I promise no alien robots will harm you in any way during the production of this motion picture.”
