Empire article content

I posted this in the thread about Empire's pictures, but it needs more exposure certainly:

*Bay and LaBeouf confirm the Fallen is a separate character. End of.
*Egyptian hieroglyphics, like the one at the bottom of my post, turn out to be depictions of Transformers who visited Earth.
*Bay claims Megatron is not coming back and the tank is just a new toy.
*Around 40 robots.
*Budget is $200 million.
*Ramon Rodriguez is the one holding on for dear life to a pole while cars are flung.
*Devastator appears at the pyramid, he's probably 50 feet tall because that's the height of the camera crane they used on location.

What the? Forty?

Lemme try counting: Prime, Ratchet, Ironhide, Bumblebee, Jetfire, Starscream, Barricade, Soundwave, Arcee, Volt, Sideswipe, Audi R8, Trax & Beat, 7 Constructicons, Ice-cream truck twins, Fallen, Ravage.

25, if you count Arcee as three then you have 27. Who are the last thirteen? More of Soundwave's minions? Drones? Seekers?

Anyway I hope for quality screentime for the robots and better human characters.

Yeah if the tank art was unused from the first movie we would've seen it already. Maybe it just didn't make the cut, though.

I could've sworn we heard 40 robots before?

EDIT: You're right, in this shot though, I'm guessing it's Optimus, since it's about 30 feet and not extended at the full height. Maybe Devastator takes a swing at Optimus and knocks off some boulders?



EDIT 2: Bay lists Optimus' height at 28 feet, ILM lists it at 32 feet.

I'm sure that almost half of the robots will only appear in the final battle and might not even get named.

only $200 Million for the budget? hmmm. the first one had minimal bot screentime because of budget constraints with $150 million...so how are they going to get 40 robots in there?

That was my first thought, asking how many robots there are could be like asking how many Narnians are there in a Narnia film.
