WTF, no Dinobots? Bastards!

[Guest Emperor]

lol, I think they should hold them for the sequel.

[Guest Segurant]

I'm upset that there is no Soundwave. He is a classic and is my favorite amongst the Decepticon.

[Guest Majsju]

My fav Decepticon is Starscream, so I'm pleased. But still cranky about the lack of Dinobots. Grimlock may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, but he does rock :D

[Guest Emperor]

The dinobots were my fav when I was growing up too. I had to have them all.

 

YEAH seggie, good call. I think I am going to write a strongly worded letter to mike bay.

[Guest Segurant]

Yeah without Soundwave you take out rumble, ravage, laserbeak, etc.....

[ArchFate]

Yea the Dinobots rocked. I still see snippets of them on G4 every now and then. Cheetor was the best though followed closely by Rattrap!

[BENDER RULES!!!]

NO SOUNDWAVE!!!

 

ok ok he even made it into a FAMILY GUY episode :roll:

[Guest Emperor]

So how many of you are excited about this movie?

[Guest Majsju]

It's a bit too long til the opening to get a real excitement worked up. But it's coming :D

[Guest Emperor]

According to Sci Fi Wire, The film will offer background about the origin of the war between the Autobots and Decepticons. The plot will be set in motion when 18-year-old Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) discovers his grandfather's pair of century-old glasses, improbably laser-etched with a map and information about the location of a key artifact, the "Energon" cube, which he then tries to sell on eBay. The movie will follow five separate storylines, which will all converge with a final battle between the Autobots and Decepticons, starting at Hoover Dam and ending in an American city that looks a lot like Los Angeles.

 

 

Sci Fi wire continues, mentioning that the movie will use a mix of computer animation and large-scale puppetry to depict the giant robots. Megatron will appear as a plane, not a giant gun, as he did in early versions of the franchise.

 

 

The article also mentions that the first full trailer for the film should be released sometime this holiday season.
