Wow Blitzflipper... you just picked all of the fly sh*t out of the pepper! Kudos

Mr Orci, your participation is hugely appreciated!

Ok so there's 103 pages of info and discussion, so if this has been asked before, can someone point me to the response?

I was wondering if the second movie is going to be more epic in scale in regards to the human race knowing about the Transformers? I mean, with almost an entire downtown metropolitan area destroyed, was the entire ending battle covered up in the first movie? Will Autobots be free to walk around humans in the second movie, or is this still a secret war?

Pretty sure Bob's said it is addressed but didn't say how, as it's quite integral to the story.

mr ocri, how does it feel to have the most popular thread on the movie section of these boards?

Did he ever let you out? Did you ever fight? Being stuck in a hotel room with ppl you're fighting with is awkward...

I agree with whoever mentioned the break out. Did you ever plan your own 'great escape'?

Mr. Orci,

I would first like to thank you for coming to this site, answering questions, and being an active member of the forums. It really does mean a lot to some of us knowing that the people portraying our childhood heroes on the big screen actually do listen to the fan community.

I do have a question for you.........................................................

Everyone else reckons this line is "What's crackin', little ****hes?", but that seems a little random.

I assume I'm wrong here, but I wanted to be sure.

its "whats cracking".

Feel free to add any of your discoveries to the corresponding Wiki articles:
Tranquility - Teletraan I: The Transformers Wiki
Mission City - Teletraan I: The Transformers Wiki

Just make sure that you condense your writeup somwhat, because less geeky fans than the two of us might feel alienated by a big wall of text (a problem my own writeups often suffer from as well, mind you).

Thank you for the advice. I was waiting until the wiki moved to its new hosting, actually.

And... I'm pretty sure Mr. Orci's going to come in here and say "nahh, you're thinking too hard" now....

I know what it means. It just seems like a slightly random interjection in that scene....

*is old, though, but not that old.

I have a few questions

1. Do and of the transformers go underwater? like in a fight scene? or like a rescue mission? (im sure you cant tell us but maboie the chances out of 10?)
2. Out of 10 the chances Starscream will say "terririse"
3. And finally, Chance of Michael Bay Joining this forum if only for 1 post? (out of 10!).

Thanks a bunch,

1.) Perhaps
2.) Since we take another nice long look at the TF dialogue in the editing room, anything could happen.
3.) 0

Then Ehren Kruger is like "What do you want me to do?" Then you guys turn to look at him and after a beat say "Just try to say out of the way." all dramatic like.

More like pillows under the blankets to pretend we're asleep.
