Who is crazy enough to do what Bay does other than James Cameron or Peter Jackson (scale wise, not quality wise - inb4 the facepalmers and blankfacers).
Liebsman needs to fuck off from the face of the earth.
The whole bloody rigmarole that was made over Bay saying he was finished with the franchise after DOTM, and the complete 180 afterwards for (I'd assume) monetary purposes, was beyond pointless. I don't take him seriously when he says he'll skip on a 5th, not one iota

Nah.
It's too entrenched in it's formula for a new director to be able to spin much change. They won't be looking for someone to come in and reinvent the wheel, they'll want a hired gun to replicate what Bay's been doing. At best it might lead to a coherent story, at worst we'll end up with someone like Liebesman.
It's not like him leaving will restore the credibility of transformers or something. Say what you will about Bay but his visual style is what made the films at all interesting.

That's true. 'Today is a good day because this was always his baby and now we're happy because someone else is going to step into his shoes and do... what exactly?' Yeah, not really. I had my kick with Bay'sTransformers (more or less), couldn't care less who takes over right now.
“Our plan with the studio and filmmakers you may have heard some writers being hired and we have in fact brought in Akiva Goldsman to lead a group of writers to really create a strategic plan around Transformers. We think there are any number of stories to be told from the brand that has been around for 30 years with amazing canon and mythology. We would expect the sequel to the Transformers movie [TF4] to happen in 2017.”
