    The first movie is all about the mystery and reveal of the Transformers as a concept and a species, which means we had to hide them a lot in the first hour. In the second movie, now that everyone believes in the universe, we can jump right into the world of the Transformers.

    I don' think a character announcement is planned this time around.

    As for the ten character thing, that was an old thing i said before we even started writing the script. It was based on nothing.

    Without getting into percentages, I would say that the mythology of the movie is very rooted in established Transformers doctrine. Obviously, it is also a continuation of the liberties we took in the first movie.

    Mr. Orci,
    I would love to know if paramount upgraded your spending budget from the last movie due to the huge hit it was? If so, can we learn the amount? I believe a lot of us were under the impression that some of the cg scenes suffered in the last movie (like the blurriness...etc) due to the budget. Can we expect a nice upgrade?

    We write about a half day every day.

    Working on these projects, I have come to appreciate even more the elegant simplicity of the basic concept that is Transformers.

    Hi Roberto!

    1. Will Sam and Lennox get to interact in this movie? I rather liked the whole "You're a soldier now!" bit.

    2. Ratchet's going to be shoved into the background again, isn't he? Can we at least see him do his job; repairing some bots? :(

    Welcome!

    So how annoyed is Bay and company with all the leaks about the movie so far? are any of them accurate?

    Mr. Orci;
    again thanks for taking your time to answer our questions. i am wondering about something that Megan Fox said recently in an interview. she claims that TF2 is "10 times bigger" than the first one...i'm wondering, can we expect 10 times the action, exposions, and ass-kickery? also badassery?

    Hi Mr Orci! Welcome to the boards!

    I can't tell you how excited we all are. Duh all this speculation and news and rumors!
    I heard Arcee is going to be in TF 2, is that true? I'm not really into gendered bots but I'm still looking forward to it like I watched the shows because I think it will be awesome:)  Good luck to you and the rest of the production team. Thanks for your spending your free time with us.

    Yes we do get a bit more dough. Expect an upgrade. And we also know better what we can do this time to maximize the mighty buck. And we have the secret weapon that is Ian Bryce.

    How the heck would we ever explain a female robot? Or does it require explanation?

    Above answer should not be taken to confirm nor deny that Arcee is in the movie:)

    Ah I should have known. Oh whew.
    I just thought of my last question- will we ever hear the Autobots/Decepticons talk in vehicle mode for this movie?

    welcome to the boards

    now this is my question.

    Mr. Orci

    okay recently there has been many leaked pics and a video of bumblebee and two small cars, the red and green cars. they are very similar

    are they the upgrade forms of the icecream truck twins?

    Mr Orci, will any of the transformers from the first film be reformatted (when they take a new form) and there's been speculation as to whether Arcee is three vehicles or one. Also its been said that Bumblebee's vehicle seems to have some upgrades, is this true?
    Thanks for coming here and answering questions :D
