In response to [Michael Bay's announcement about creative changes in the film], actor Robbie Rist, who voiced Michelangelo in the first three films, wrote to Bay accusing him of "sodomizing" the franchise. Rist later remarked that he could have been out of line since Bay makes more money than he does.

Somewhere, in the darkest stickiest corridors of adolescence, a full-time Minecraft player and habitual masturbator has mustered up the list of his (because it is inevitably a he) ten favorite movies--Transformers: Age of Extinction, The Amazing Spider-Man, The Dark Knight, etc.--and from these has logically (because everything must be logical) determined the formula for the most perfect Ninja Turtles movie imaginable, for that is the intellectual property nearest and dearest to his heart, and he feels as if the special effects in the trilogy of extant Turtles films are not realistic enough (because the greatest value an action film can have is realism). From this hypothetical basement-dwelling woman-hating travesty of a subconsciousness, Jonathan Liebesman's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is born.
One more gem from Wikipedia before we get into this:
In mid-February 2013, actress Megan Fox was reported to be cast as April O'Neil, marking her first collaboration with Bay since her remark comparing him to Adolf Hitler.
