    Arcee = female autobot warrior, just like in G1.
    Soundwave = communications officer (I don't care if he transforms or not), just like in G1.
    Ravage = tracker and infiltrator, just like in G1.

    There are some that only use the name of a G1 character (Skids, Sideswipe) and others that have the name and traits.

    Here's my wishlist...

    Wheeljack (white, custom 2010 Ford Mustang)
    Shockwave (helicopter like in the first movie's game)
    Laserbeak (stays in beast mode, like Ravage in ROTF)
    Rumble (few feet taller than Frenzy, bulker, more badass, and can cause tremors; speaks English)
    Soundwave vs. Bumblebee, with Soundwave leaving Bumblebee critically injured
    Blitzwing and Lugnut (like how they look in Animated, only with a movie touch-up)
    Lot more Sideswipe screentime
    Prowl (police car, not motorcycle like in Animated)
    Prowl vs. Barricade (squad car vs. squad car...AWESOME!!!)
    Dinobots
    Starscream trying to take command, with him and Megatron getting in a couple of epic fights
    Skids and Mudflap get in a huge fight; Optimus grabs them both and lifts them up, scolding them (for comic relief)

    And here's a cool idea for an opener I've been visioning for Transformers 3: In the beginning/opening of the movie, Soundwave is seen floating in space as a satellite, like in Transoformers: ROTF. While going over some footage that he's captured, he sees one thing that really bothers him.....
    Bumblebee killing Ravage
    . Angered to a bloody pulp, Soundwave goes from satellite, to Cybertronian jet (like his ROTF figure), and SPEEDS down to Earth as fast as he possibly could. Scene cuts to Sam, talking to Bumblebee, who has regained his voice and talks through the whole movie now. As they're discussing, Sam notices something and points into the sky. Bumblebee looks up and the camera cuts to his HUD; he zooms in on the incoming object and says, "Oh no...Megatron's number one is here to visit." or something along those lines. Soundwave rockets towards Earth, crash lands in a lake, and resurfaces in robot mode, with water dripping from him (that looked so damn cool in the first movie, with Ironhide coming out of a pool). Soundwave scans a Dodge Silverado (the one we saw in concept art for ROTF) that belongs to a family vacationing at the lake, transforms, and storms off to find Bumblebee. He finds him a few scenes later, the two fight, and Soundwave critically injures Bumblebee. Afterwards, Soundwave steps on Bumblebee and says his famous "Autobots inferior. Soundwave superior!". No, Bumblebee is not dead. Just unconscious after the huge, revengeful ass-whooping.

    Sorry about the long post, but I had to let that out. Especially after having that opener idea in my head for so long, after hearing how
    Ravage dies in ROTF
    .

    Okay, Arcee is female and an autobot. That's not really much of a character. As flat as it was, Arcee did have something of a personality, and a distinct design, no aspects of which were carried over. I don't mind them redoing Arcee, actually, but you can't really use her as an example of carrying over characters from G1.

    "Communications officer" is not a character. Nor is tracker and infiltrator.

    Ratchet and Ironhide are the same boat and I don't see anyone saying they aren't based on thier G1 counterparts.

    Plus having a mono-wheeled robot mode isn't distinct enough?

    Ironhide and Ratchet are mostly just name re-use, really. They're very very loosely based. I don't see why anyone would be happy to see such a loose adaption of the characters mentioned. It could be anything.

    What's that got to do with anything? Animated is finished. Universe is finished. I haven't read any of the newer comics in ages. There's only ROTF stuff on the pegs now. It's impossible to avoid. What do you expect?

    Calm down dude, just something I noticed.

    You could just focus on other things until the movie hype starts dying down. If i didn't care about the movie, I'd just focus on Marvel or superhero stuff in general.

    That's just me, though.

    But it's not that I don't care about the movie. The movie could have been more pleasing to a wider variety of Transformers fans, it could have been more how I would have liked it, and it's not, so obviously I'm going to be upset about that. I feel that the movie could have been both a box office success and more pleasing to those who currently do not like the direction of the movies. There's not much else to discuss ATM anyway unless you want me to rage over them cancelling Animated too. It's just how much hassle it is to express a "Negative" opinion about the movie so of course that's going to be a point of obsession for me at the moment.

    That's where your problems lie. You have to remember that these movies aren't just for the transformers fans. Look at "Watchmen". Great movie, but only the fans of the book will truely appreciate it. Movies have to appeal to a wide audience, not just the die-hard.

    And to get the thread back on topic, I'd like to see a take on Cliffjumper in the next movie. Similar to Bumblebee, but still different.

    While Bumblebee is loyal and follows commands, CJ is more gun-ho and in need of action.

    I never said they were. Do you really think I didn't see this reply coming a while away? It was only out of common courtesy I didn't jynx it, please show the same. I'm still entitled to feel upset over unreasonable things as a fan, let alone things that would have made no difference to the wider audience of the movie. Making the guys look and act more like the original guys will not put off the wider audience.

    I think people need to understand is that GR isn't looking for answers, he's just stating his frustration.

    Don't let it bother you, dude. I don't want this thread to go belly up with arguments.
