Welcome Mr. Roberto Orci, you may ask him questions

Hey Bob,

thanks again for answering my questions.

Here's another one:

Any chance you might sneak some shoutouts to Transformers toy collectors, or the toy collecting hobby in general, into the movie?

Shortpacked is a webcomic that often features gags based on Transformers toys, the people that collect them and their oftentimes bizarre views and antics. Might hold some inspirations regarding the general humor that could be derived from the topic.

A cameo by Hasbro's Aaron Archer (who is anything but a stranger to the fandom) in a Stan Lee-ish fashion would also be a nice touch.

Hi Bob,
First: great news you got! I've got much faith that the movie is going to rock on a larger scale worldwide than last time, all those bits sounds fantastic - you got all the support from me you can get.

Second: Would you personally see Arcee voiced by Susan Blu? And would you, as a fan yourself propose her to Michael Bay, like Peter Cullen? (If she isn't busy voice directing Transformers: Animated season 3...)

Thanks.

Actually, i do have one last question. Nothing major. Hope you don't mind. ^^;

I was wondering if Optimus Prime gets to use his trademark gun/cannon more than once in this next movie? You gotta love that gun of his. XD

Anyways, thanks again.

Hey Roberto, great to see you taking time to answer questions again like you did on the original movie board. I'm very much looking forward to the new film.

In regards to the CG, compositing, effects, etc...with shooting still going on are the visual fx studios involved been given a lot to work with other than just the modeling/texturing of the characters? Also, I know ILM and Digital Domain are once again working on the film, but are there any other fx studios involved?

He can't answer something like that.

Unless M.Bay suddenly had a change of heart.

Thanks for answering my question Mr. Orci. Like the others, it's very commendable of you to go on this forum and answer lots and lots of questions. You're not exactly a person that has so much time on their hands

Interesting. I kinda took the scene with his parents in the credits as, they knew about it but were just saying what they were instructed to regarding the "alien infestation"

Hi Mr. Orci,

First time asking, I'm ok if there's something you cannot answer.

1. Since it's pretty obvious that Megatron will come back, will he have a new alt mode?

2. Will Barricade have his rematch with Bumblebee?

3. Will ROTF feature the "geriatric robot" Mr. Bay commented some time ago?

4. A fan that made the Hasbro tour recently reported a crane truck Decepticon toy for the ROTF line. Will we see more construction Transformers in ROTF?

Thanks for your attention.

Considering Hasbro came down pretty hard on said fan for blabbering about this and had him remove the report from all over the interwebs, I pretty much doubt Bob could even acknowledge that your asked this question.
