    From a person being from the south, the only thing that is correct about the stereotypical redneck is the accent. Most are not as ignorant as some think, like some tv shows portray. I am really glad that most transformers with the southern accent aren't stupid. (of course this does not count backwood hillbillies, because some are stuck in the past lol)

    But for sure we don't take offense to the stereotype, most of us think its funny!

    (Larry the Cableguy is a fantasy character, he is acting.)


    Sorry for off topic post. :D

    Hey Bob,

    I know you're gonna say no to this, but hear me out:

    BRING BLACKOUT BACK! I know he's dead, but at least make him come back as a zombie or something! I loved the big guy!

    I couldn't agree with you more. It cracks me up how people automatically want to deduct 50 IQ points when they hear a Southern (in my case Texan) accent. I've used that to my advantage many times...

    BTW, sorry for the off-topic post.

    no need to be rude:inquisiti 

    Ever since I bought the DVD I've watched the movie a few times each month since i bought it. and what I've noticed is

    Jazz:landed in front of Sam and Mikaela ran off and Scanned a Pontiac Solstice Club racer concept

    Ratchet landed in an Alleyway and scanned a Fire/Ambulance Hummer H2

    Ironhide landed in a baseball field.

    Prime Landed in the pool

    it's just editing error that they put Ironhides Alt mode in front of the pool scene I mean really what family of three consisting of two adults and a preschooler needs a GMC Topkick

    I think that Ironhide walked to a GMC dealer and Scanned a Topkick

    Wow. I normally don't get into stuff like this, but seriously...
    Jazz landed in the stadium and walked to a Pontiac dealer.
    Ratchet landed IN A BUILDING.
    Ironhide landed in the pool.
    Prime landed in the field, ran away and scanned the semi as it drove past him. There is NO WAY someone would really think that was not Prime's protoform on the hill where Prime's Semi 'just magically appeared!'
    You baited, you got it, you're welcome. Now cut it out and ask Mr. Orci a question. Here's mine.

    Bob,
    Thanks for all your and Alex's hard work on these films, it's nice that the fans have a voice through you guys. Will all of the bots we see in the film be named in some way? I realise there will probably be a lot of cannon fodder, but will the fans be able to determine 'who's who?'

    Thanks,
    Jazzman

    Hey Roberto,

    What are the chances that we'll hear robots speaking earth languages other than english in this movie series? I would love to hear a French autobot voiced by John Cleese, ala:

    Thanks for answering my qustion before, Mr. Orci, I got a few more though.

    1) You said very few above, does that mean that there's more than just Jetfire? So does that mean that Springer and/or Breakaway could be in the movie, no matter how small of a role they may have? They're in the toy line, that's all we know.

    2) Could TF2 feature nameless, characterless background robots who are just standard soldiers/fodder?

    3) I know very early in development Mike Bay said that there would be a geriatric robot. Was it already set there and then that Jetfre would be that bot, or did you and the writers/Bay decide later that Jetfire would suit that type of character?

    You rock, bob.

    1. Are there any international autobots/decepticons? Like a "snooty" french decepticon, or a scottish bot drunk on too much motor oil?
    2. Would you consider this movie the "Empire Strikes Back" of the Transformer movie line (dark, feeling of hopelessness, crazy reveal/twists/turns)?
    3. Last one.......so so many.... Bay mentioned in passing that about 40 bots are in the movie. Sound about right or less/more?
    4. One more........will I poop rainbows in my poontsies when I see Devastator form for the first time??? :D  :D  :D

    2.) maybe

    3.) We decided Jetfire would fit after the idea came up to have a geriatric robot.
