    How would it go? Let's see...
    - the humour would be very flat and dry, very "... yeah, okay" and "... right" if you get my meaning.
    - stop-motion animation would be primarily used
    - everybody would be dysfunctional and would have "issues": either paternal, fraternal, or with their own inadequacies, which are more or less worked out by the film's end.
    - the film would be set in some past era, probably the early 1980s or so (with the appropriate soundtrack).

    To go into detail...
    - Bill Murray would be Optimus Prime
    - Owen Wilson would be Bumblebee
    - Anjelica Houston would play Arcee and be a mother
    - Michael Gambon would be Megatron
    - Willem Dafoe would be Starscream
    - Kumar Pallana would be Soundwave
    - Witwicky would be some kid who elopes with his girlfriend to get married somewhere, hitching a ride with Bumblebee
    - Bumblebee would overcome his issues by wearing Ravage's tail as a necktie
    - Autobots and Decepticons would make up by the film's end.

    Would you watch it?

    Attention Paramount/Hasbro:

    We DESPERATELY need some info on Transformers 4. A logo, an official title, something. If we're starting threads involving Wes Anderson and the franchise, we're clearly losing our marbles and going slowly insane.

    Intriguing, yes...

    Our wish has been granted. A tiny bit of new info on TF4 has just been released mere minutes after you posted this. Honestly.

    Sounds like a far better watch than what we've gotten so far. I'm in.
