Welcome Mr. Roberto Orci, you may ask him questions

Mr. Orci,
If you were to include Skywarp and Thundercracker, would they be clones of Starscream, or indiviual jets?
And if they were individual would you keep one of them a F-15 Eagle (perferably Thundercracker, Skywarp would be bad ass as a Stealh Bomber)?
Also do you plan on keeping the new characters as close to thier G1 selves as possible?
It dosent really bother if they arent (love the wheels Sideswipe has for feet) but I`d just like to know.

Mr.Bob

1) If they were to make more Transformers movies (2, 3, whatever), would you like to write for all of them?

2) Do you think Bay (if director) would allow/prefer the same team of writers to write for all of them?

3) Leaving aside the balance of mixture, do you prefer a beastie behavior like Bonecrusher had or a more tactical one like Starscream's?

4) If Devastator was to appear (in any sequel, cof), should he be a bit "clumsy" like in G1 and most giants in movies or he would make perfect use of its faculties as a big f&%$ing cybertronian?

5) If you had to name at least 3 Sci-Fi movies that you like, which would they be?


Thanks for your precious time!

Two part answer: 1.) I would argue that having a car lubricate somebody is fair game, but I understand your view as well. Also, we didn't use it as a marketing ploy. None of those scenes were even hinted at in any of the marketing. However: 2.) I don't think TF2 will have any moments that you will find embarrassing to that level, although I'm sure it will still provide the best that PG-13 has to offer in other areas! I can be more specific after I see the final cut. I'll warn you about anything right here...

Take that up with the Producers!

Not sure who has been speculated about. Haven't been keeping up with set pictures, but as IGNORANT as I am, I'll answer that I can't imagine everything we have has been leaked.

1.) Don't know how many more of these we have in us. Hard to ever think about that when you're just trying to make and finish a single good movie, which doesn't even come out until next year. We're superstitious about assuming success enough to assume there would be another movie made.

2.) I can't tell if Bay is tired of us yet, or not! This is our third movie with him (The Island being the first).

3.) tactical.

4.) I could see it both ways. Depends on the sense of humor of the director wether or not it can be pulled off.

5.) 2001, Back to the Future, Empire Strikes Back

sir, get out of my head

speaking of 2001, do you prefer the novel or the film?

FYI, a recap of most of what we've seen so far - this should make things easier for you:

- Old ice cream truck that splits in half (here)
- Audi R8 Decepticon (also saw a small, blurry image of his bot mode - here)
- Chevrolet Volt spotted on set a few times (here)
- Green Chevy Beat (license plate: "Skids") and red Chevy Trax (small image of his bot mode here & here)
- Small blue RC truck spotted at the Air and Space museum (here)
- Corvette concept car spotted on set numerous times, sources say he's "Sideswipe" - bot mode also revealed (here)
- Three Arcee bikes shown in a behind-the-scenes video on Walmart.com (here - here & here). An anonymous source says she is a combiner.
- Megatron returns as a tank (design leaked as well - here & here)
- Some reports from anonymous sources revealed the vehicle modes of the Constructicons (bulldozer, truss crane, excavator, dump truck, an articulated dump truck, a front loader and a cement mixer)
- Jetfire is an SR-71 Blackbird, he combines with Prime.
- Supposed design of Soundwave leaked here. Truck parts are visible all over his body, even though you stated he wouldn't turn into a pickup. Ravage is also revealed.
- Plot details are few, but we know that hieroglyphics (or "cyberglyphics" as the recent Hasbro trademark calls them) play an important role. Sam goes to college and there are huge battle sequences in Shanghai and in Egypt.
- Isabel Lucas's character may or may not be a Pretender.
- Still much confusion about the role of "The Fallen"

Hope that helps.

I don't know if I asked this before, but can you tell us if there will be another Movie Guide for "Revenge of the Fallen"? The last one by Simon Furman was great, but it was missing a few key characters, which was disappointing...

Hello, Mr.Orci

I'd like to know somethings:

1) What part of the sattelite mode of Soundwave is Ravage?

2) Ravage is the only minion to show up in this movie or we can expect to see Laserbeak,Rumble,Ratbat and others?

3) Will be any references to the animated movie of 1986(like in the 1st live action movie the scene that Jazz faces Brawl(or Devastator) just like Kup did with Blitzwing in the 1986 movie)?

4) Ravage will have a "human voice" like in Beast Wars?

5) Do you and the others writters have plans to introduce others Combiners(like Predacons/Predaking; Aerialbots/Superion; Technobots/Computron; Stunticons/Menasor)?

Hello, Mr.Orci

My first time posting in this thread.

With all the Beast Wars time travel cannon available will we see a precursor of Ravage's presence like his head showing up in vaults of Sector7 as a foreboding to his first appearance in the next movie?
