I thought Hasbro lost rights to the Hot Rod name. Hence why Smokescreen got the job this time round. In any event, the possibility of seeing Unicron in the same level of detail as the others may be enough to draw me to the theater... so long as they don't screw up like with Galactus.

Has anyone considered the idea that Bay might be doing a live action version of the original T-Formers movie? I mean all the parts seem to be showing up and Dark of the Moon's plot was kinda lifted from the eposodes "Ultimate Doom." And now with the dinobots being speculated to show up...

I'm more a plane guy than a car guy, but I get your point. I have to wonder, if this is really a TF4 sequel to DotM, how are they gonna replace Megatron (and is Shia LeBeouf still gonna be in it)?

Well, the car looks good at least, so hopefully the character follows suit.

Haven't gotten to see Drift outside of fandom discussions.

Possibly, though I will say I think the Stingray may be right up Blurr's alley.

Ahn the curse of perfectionism. And they say Fanfiction writers are only concerned with shipping. :

Actually, I'm working on one called Kindred Sparks which is semi-in its eightth chapter. Unfortunately, I've had to pause and rewrite its last few chapters because of a mild character conflict, but I can certainly post the first three chapters up here to be seen.

they said that there will be a series like Prime right after Prime

yea
