Welcome Mr. Roberto Orci, you may ask him questions

Mr. Orci, I can't help but notice you've put "Maximal" under your name. Are you a big Beast Wars fan? And if so, is it possible you may bring one or two Beast Wars characters into the movie universe? If it's alright, can I make a suggestion of Cheetor?

Also we see Scorpinox in the first film tunneling through the ground. Can he go through any material? so like water? earth? concrete?

1 - God Bless Bernie Mac. He was not returning to the sequel.

2 - I think he may have just enough armament to get through most things.

This concept art appears to imply it is Ravage who is a truck, no?

No. Luckiest guy in the world

1. Why does optimus not use his sword vs. megatron in the first film? It worked well on Bonecrusher.

2. Are their going to be evil humans that work with the decepticons?

3. I really enjoyed how humble and self sacrificing prime was in the first film. His character is truly inspring!

Thanks again.

1.) He knows how skilled Megatron is in defending against swords. They've fought many times.

2.) Certainly, not every human will be on their side.

3.) Optimus hasn't changed a bit!

I've been bad at keeping up with our marketing plan on this one. Don't know the answers, actually.

I'm actually shocked that both movies have scenes in Paris and Egypt: I'm excited for both films but I'm concerned for the newcomer, even if it was written before ROTF.
3. If Optimus is Kirk and Ratchet/Ironhide is Bones, who's Spock?

1.) The input he was given in general was to make sure the score was more melodic and classic in nature, rather than being too electronic, which could be a temptation when dealing with robots.

2.) No, but in a way, the Transformers vs GI Joe series inspired the first movie -- hence the heavy soldier presence. In a way, that is what we did.

3.) Hmm... Only one Spock.

Wow, so many questions on here, and all really good ones. Thanks for taking the time to visit the site and openly speak about the movie! I loved the first film, and am sure the 2nd will be even greater

I think the hologram idea of Cullen is a awesome idea, Im sure he would love that too.
Most of my questions have been answered, so I basically just wanted to pop in and say hi and great work!
Also, 2.) Certainly, not every human will be on their side. Interesting...

Hi Bob,

With the Chevy bow tie on "Soundwaves" groin it looks as though someone is implying he is the truck. Live long and prosper.
