    Should we? We can make that decision in post production.

    Personally, I think it would be a great way to add more characterization withought spending more of the CG budget.

    Wouldn't be a bad idea at all. Added lines without adding CG budget and all that, but I'm really not sure what you guys already have planned. So I guess it would be cool if it worked for whatever you're already planning.

    Put me down as a 'yes' for alt-mode dialogue. Especially for the Autobots. Just isn't the same with them all driving along together and not saying anything.

    I wonder how that would work. Are we just supposed to see an exterior view of the car and assume we know which voice is associated with that particular vehicle while they're driving?

    Or when they talk, like in the G1 cartoon, we see the inside of the vehicle and then a light flashes in the dash panel everytime a syllable is sounded.

    I think, if they were to do it, that would be the best way to handle it so that the audience knows who's talking.

    A question for Mr Orci,

    Is Ratchet returning in TF2? He seems oddly absent from what has been seen/heard so far.

    Thanks! :)

    Dear Mr. Orci...

    YOU SUCK!

    Nah, I'm just yankin' ya. :p  Anywho, I do have some good questions regarding the sequel:

    -How long will the sequel be?
    -Can we expect more characterizations on the Transformers in the second movie? Like, maybe more than one scene where the Transformers have a scene to themselves?
    -Will we expect a better Transformer/human ratio than the first movie?
    -Is the character Glenn coming back? If not, THANK YOU. He was annoying as hell in the first movie, and to be honest, I don't want him coming back.
    -I know this may sound stupid, but will the Dinobots show up? Or will they just be mentioned?
    -Is Jazz really coming back? Or is he officially dead?
    -Is Barricade coming back also? If so, can you shoot a flashback scene showing us where he was during the final battle in the first movie?
    -Is Shockwave gonna be in the sequel?
    -What is Frenzy's fate? Is he dead, too? Or is he still alive?
    -What about Scorponok? We never found out where he went after the battle in the desert.
    -Will we expect any more cheesy comedy like the first movie? If so, DON'T DO IT! The first one had plenty of bad comedy enough. I mean, it's a live-ACTION movie, not a crap-tastic comedy.

    That's all the questions I can think of, Mr. Orci. Thanks for your time to read our questions and what you think will happen. Good luck writing the sequel! :) 

    EDIT: One more question...or rather, a favor...

    BRING BLACKOUT BACK! I know he's dead, but I don't care! He was my favorite of the Decepticons in the first movie. He may have had one line (in Cybertronian, no less), but I really want him to come back. He's just so FREAKING COOL! :D  It would make me really happy if you could. If not, I'll be alright.

    Mr. Orci,

    These are words. They proclaim that you are in fact "the man". Your thoughts?

    I apologize for the slow update of the OP, but wow, this thread went fast today. I just came home from work, and now I have updated the OP. Every question that gets answered will be updated into the first post of this thread.

    Again, I just want to say a big 'thank you' to Mr. Orci for taking the time to answer the questions. You rule, man ;)

    Yes, that actually has me very very excited for the movie now. Not that I wasn't already, but it kind of helps to alleviate some doubts...

    Welcome to TFW2005, Mr. Orci.

    I suggest for the robots talking in vehicle mode, I think that the hologram drivers should "speak" for the robots. And that leads me to this question (please answer, even if you don't know):

    WILL PETER CULLEN MAKE A CAMEO APPEARANCE AS OPTIMUS PRIME'S HOLOGRAM DRIVER???

    Thats easy. They don't have genders. Just different types.
    Humans have a need to catagorise things into genders, so they are just fitting the molds that humans would place on them by their body type. In other words... to fit in better and be more approchable, they are adjusting themselves to suit the male/female gender types with their voices and behaviour.
    In reality they have no need for gender since they don't really reproduce as such.

    No long winded explination needed... a simple, 'they don't have genders.' will surfice.
