Seriously. It's already written. Quit suggesting ideas. This is a QUESTION forum. Not pitch fanfic to Bob in hopes that he can slap it into a film already in production.

I personally think it'd be cool. It's doubtful, but it'd be interesting to see a Movie version of Animated Lockdown.

Let's see if I get lucky this time, maybe there is nothing to respond for Bob.

1) When I read “Unicron” somewhere on the net I thought of the disappointment I got when I read “Galactus” and then saw Fantastic Four 2. I’m not asking if it’s gonna be in the movie, but should we expect some powerful scenes of important characters such as the one mentioned and not just “something floating in space”?

2) If I’m not mistaken I read that the dinobots were left out for lack of sustainable reasons for transforming into dinosaurs. I had an idea that may be good for using sometime: One or a group of protoforms crush from space in a museum, and by the landing or by nature they are a little dumb (like in G1), so they take the shape (just shape, like in G1 or scorponok) of the first thing they see thinking that it’s appropriate.

3) I got disappointed by some day-night flaws in some shoots and the shaky camera in the fights. Do you know if some improvements have being taken into account?

Thanks for all your hard work!

Okay, here's something I've wondered...

How were the Transformer characters selected, particularly for this second movie? How much of it was up to you and Mr. Kurtzman, and how much of it was up to, say, Dreamworks or Hasbro?

To give you an unofficial answer to the questions so you stop reposting them.

1.) Unicron was all speculation. We have nothing even pointing to him being in the film.
2.) Already discussed to death. There not in the film. Get over it. Even if he wanted to shove them in there now, at this point they wouldn't make it.
3.) I'm pretty sure that's a Bay problem.

The bolded statement rings true and so does the one below.

Fist of all, I would like to say that the thread is called “you may ask him questions”, so I really don’t care much for your “unofficial answer” to make me stop posting, besides, look at your answers:

1) Nothing even pointing to him? As far as I know, Hasbro registered at the same time "Revenge of the Fallen", "Revenge of UNICRON", "Matrix of Leadership" and “Return to Cybertron”. I think THAT could be a hint, PLUS, I said “I’m not asking if it’s gonna be in the movie”, are you blind???

2) First, the idea of dinobots is obviously for the third movie if there is one, they are half the way with the second one. And second, this was for Mr.Orci, the screenwriter of the Transformers Movie, I don’t care if you read it a don’t like it, maybe Bob doesn’t like it either, but every contribution can make the difference and I would like at least an “OK, I read it” like everyone else would like.

3) I’m pretty sure that the flaws of the movie are our problem too, and maybe Bob knows something about it, do you know if he knows? If he doesn’t speak to Bay about the movie they are making?

I’m gonna stop asking now, if I’m lucky I’ll get an answer of some sort FROM MR.ORCI, but bare in mind for all you “unofficial answerers” that you are not Roberto Orci, and your answers may not be what everyone is asking for.

Paz y amor loco

P.D: I like your signature, the best episode in my opinion.

Moroni Prime · 09-01-2008, 01:02 AM

Dear Mr. Orci,

First off, I would like to offer you a belated welcome to the 2005 boards, and the fandom. I look forward to the sequel (and also the 3rd *crosses fingers*) to transformers just as much as everyone else, I just know it (they) will be great.

I was browsing through youtube.com to see if I could find anything official for transformers 2 (not that that'll happen until the time is right, but you never know) when I came across a band and their video. They call themselves 'Red Roses Black'. The goal of this band at the moment seems to be that they would like to be considered for part of the soundtrack for transformers 2. I listened to their song and found it comparable to the type of songs that were on the soundtrack for transformers last year, and overall I enjoyed the song. Perhaps this is asking a bit much, but perhaps there might be a way you could pass the word along to the appropriate party. The song can be heard here.

Lastly, I have a couple of requests that I think'll be fun fan nods, and shouldn't detract from the film. Although it's probably a bit late but what would be the possibility for Sam to have a nickname? What I mean is maybe in one scene someone could walk past him in the hallway on his way to class and say " 'Sup Spike'? or 'Sup Bust(a/er)' ". And for my last request for the nods is one I saw here on tfw a couple years back someone had suggested for the first film, perhaps during one of the scenes where a group of humans interact with the autobots, perhaps a strategy session/regrouping, one of the humans could just say "Let's go 'bots! (Gobots)". I know they may seem a mite silly, but It's fun to think of it anyway.

Thank you for your time Mr. Orci, I and the fandom appreciate all you have done and all that you are sure to do. Thank you.

OMG if you knuckle heads don't knock it off and like right now I'm going to clack you're heads together 3 Stogies style.

And now for something completely different.

What kind of music is there going to be? some pop culture tracks mixed with orchestration?

Will Stan Bush get a job this time?

(and guys Please quit bickering and the most annoying, "Repeating the same questions repeatedly." PLEASE? THANK YOU?)

peace

EDIT: yeah sorry for making my post THAT long but once i started typing... new ideas started popping in my head ... I was having fun writing it and before I knew it I wrote all that lol

Fedja sorry for my response I recently had a death in the family and I think I may have taken it out on you as a result of it. My apologies

Just a note as you are new to the boards this thread is more or less a Q and A with Mr. Orci with some suggestions and ideas. As you can see you get killed by the others for fan fiction. Well ... mostly if it is really long read

Regardless though you can still express your ideas like the one you presented it just might be better served in a separate thread or its own. Don't let others negative condontations get to you as you will find on this board there are many differant views often extremely conflicting.

Once again sorry for the harshness earlier and welcome to the boards.

QFT. Sadly that means no Incomplete Skywarp in the movie.

Question time: Bob, IIRC during Botcon 2007, you and Alex said you had some ideas for the sequel, but you were keeping those to yourselves because you didn't know if there was going to be a sequel and whether you were going to write it. Now that there's a sequel and you're writing it (or already did), did those ideas made into the script? Were they scrapped? Could you share some of the scrapped ideas?

Thanks in advance if you can answer that. I'll understand if you can't.
