I'm to lazy to look through the other posts to see if this has been asked:
Will and Decepticon "Cassettes" make an apearance (Ravage, Laserbeak, Rumble (Recolor of Frenzy), or even Frenzy returning)?

Considering Bob confirmed several times that Soundwave is in it, and he apparently consideres minions a central point to the character (back when Blakcout from the first movie was still going to be Soundwave, his minion would have been Ravage... who eventually ended up as Scorponok instead), I'd say that's HIGHLY likely.

Plus, we've already seen that weird skinny Frenzy-like bot animatronic which was rumored to have been described as "bird-like" on the set.

Have you been keeping up with them thus far? Personally i think they offer a damn good, accessible characterization of starscream that goes beyond his one-dimensional g1 self while still being the same general character type, just a lot more layered and with a more believable motivation.

Is that the character type you'd also use for starscream in the movies if you were to give him more screentime?

agreed. Good stuff.

Interesting. You could argue that in a sense there are very few civilians in that the TF war was a CIVIL war, with all having to take a side. But maybe.

Personally, I think they all did a great job, since they're well established voice actors and would make logical sense to bring them back (save the new VA's for new characters perhaps).

I'd also like to cast my vote to have David Kaye voice or cameo somewhere in the TF movie franchise. He's done Megatron longer than Welker did, and is currently portraying Animated Prime very well. I think it'd be great to see him recognised even in a minor role voicing a TF in the film franchise. I'd also suggest Gary Chalk but last I heard he wasn't very keen to return to the TF franchise.

I know it's a shot in the dark asking this, but what sort of amount of screentime can we expect for Sam's parents? I'm probably one in the minority, but I loved his parents, and am glad to see they'll be back in TF2. I just wanted to know if we'll see about the same amount of screen time for them, or whether they'll have more/less.

Im sure we'll mostly have continuity with voices, but you never know till after we're done shooting. Your other suggestions are noted.

As for the parents, MOST people (not to be confused with hardcore fans) liked the parents, too. They'll have at least as much screen time. We'll see how the editing room treats them.

Kind of a dumb question, but I was wondering.... Do Sam's parents ever figure out that there is a race of alien robots living amongst them, or will they remain oblivious to that fact like they were at the end of the first film?

And on a similar note, now that the cats out of the bag that these robots exist in the world (i.e. final battle in film 1), will the autobots be viewed as heroes by the public or hated as a whole (i.e. the mutants in the xmen series)

Not dumb questions. These two questions were CENTRAL to figuring out where to start this movie. Wish I could answer!
