    I can't remember if this has been asked or not, but will the Tranformers theme song be in Revenge of the Fallen? I was a little dissapointed that it wasn't in the first movie.

    Since Arcee has been confirmed in ROTF, can I ask who will be doing her voice? Will it be Susan Blu?

    This always confused me, because doesn't this mean that the Decepticons are also Autobots?

    indeed. i brought this up in an earlier question and Bob explained that explanation of the names was not as important as other things, so they cut the cool explanations to make time for other stuff...instead of putting in 30 seconds of dialogue.

    I guess the movie explanation is that all Cybertronians start as Autonomous Robotic Organisms (AKA Autobots) and those who broke off and deceived the general populous became Decepticons. Meaning, Decepticons were once Autobots.

    ...Crap, I better ask a question or this thing's gonna get deleted...

    Bob, who would you say is easier to write for: Humans or Bots?

    Mr. Orci,

    Would you write the role of Prowl to have any other Alt. mode other than a Police vehicle?

    If you have the DVD of i robot - there's a robot on there made by some hot lookin' professor chick Cynthia from MIT called 'Kismet' it looks very similar to that floppy eared orange head - I almost wondered if that was intentional.

    Google ' Kismet robot ' on image mode and you'll see what I mean.

    She calls it a social robot.

    ---

    ADDED : Re Movie #1.

    I was wondering if the way Transformers who definately die are shown to have their spark disolving via blue sparks like Jazz and Blackout is written in the script that way Jazz is destroyed/Blackout is destroyed - and thus the blue sparks.

    And characters who get defeated, but with no blue sparks and no body disposal like Bonecrusher, Brawl(AKA Devastator) can be seen as mearly defeated but not dead - like what happens with Barricade in the Junkyard or when Frenzy gets chopped up by Mickaela.

    My inference is that having their heads chopped off is not fatal. But Blackout and Jazz both got their spark evaporated.

    I was wondering if that's in the script or it was something ILM or Digital Domain added.

    Also I was wondering if a Movieverse Transformers body is destroyed can their spark leave as an electrical arc and reinfect something else - just like Allspark energy does ?

    ----
    Last question : Was a full body design ever designed for the Xbox 360 Bot ?
    It was supposed to pull that ladies dress off was it always just in the cardboard box as conceived or was it going to show it's full white plastic body off at somepoint ?

    Roberto,

    I understand that there is only so much you can divulge, so I'll try to keep my question general. Will there be any significant increased emphasis on the characters of the Transformers this time around? TF1 gave us some great human characters, but apart from Prime, the robot cast felt very flat. No doubt this was nessisary due to the many human-character story threads present.

    Also, I'd like to second the inclusion of a Triple Changer in TF3. [cough]Broadside[/cough]

    Thanks for taking the time to do this Q and A,
    -LB

    Only 1 house you need to ask Michael Bay for another 1 haha, he prity much blows 1 up in his Verizon ad, hahah
    Year you should move here, im not gona lie to ya, and then when you do all the TF3 (cough) cast can come shot down here with Peter Jackson hahah.
    Year good old Keith Urban a, lol im sorry but any actor that has been in Shortland St (google it) in NZ is a bit of a joke.

    I have some other questions tho:
    1.What talk have you had about Primes trailer?
    2.Do we see Transformers under water in TF2
    3. And lastly, have you talked about an Autobot tossing another Autobot like Prime does to Brawl i think the G1.? (I realize its not very heroic but still?)

    Hello Mr. Orci, Is it possible that we'll see more bickering between Starscream and Megatron this time around?

    I have some questions

    1) Ironhide and Ratchet were uselss during the fights scenes. Bumblebee (without legs mind you!) and Prime were the only 2 who really seemed to do damage in battle. Will we see some more of why Ironhide is a weapons tech?
    2) When Megatron landed there was no tech on the planet yet, so why was Prime so sure that Megatron wanted to use Earth Tech for his new army? It appeared our tech could only create animal like bots. Who would be useless in battle

    Mr. Orci,

    Have you guys something already planned for Transformers 3? A treatment, maybe? Or are you writing 2 and 3 back-to-back?

    Well, Cosmos was the greatest of all Autobots and he was a spaceship sooo.....

    (cheesy segue attempt)

    How about some love for Cosmos? He is by far one of the most explainable TF's in the live action environment. Obviously he was doing recon on Earth in 1947 and had an accident. The government has been keeping him since then in area 51 but they didn't realize he was a transformers since he was captured in UFO mode.

    You know this would be the most awesome story for a comic. Has that been done?

    Ok sorry Mods back on topic.
    This would be great for the movie to have Cosmos wake up in a hangar, confused by whats going on.

    Were the robot designs finalized quicker this time around, or are we doomed to another wave of inaccurate toys and premium re-releases in the right colors?

    MR ORCI:

    It has now been confirmed that Jetfire will be an autobot....Any chance you could give us confirmation yourself that he is atleast in the film?
