    I guess in the studio's eyes they've been the two Autobots who have been the focal point throughout. The rest of the them have always been a supporting cast really.

    Absolutely. The casting director didn't know what she was saying.

    You think? I mean, someone who works close to the movie obviously has no idea what she's talking about.

    You do realize that you're confusing the independently run local station with that of the Cable News Station, right? Their bias only comes down to Politics that can get a spin on it, just like all the other cable news. When it's actual news, something that happened, they tend to just report it normally. As do the smaller outlets that are run independently of the national Cable channel. That's why they don't juggle Morning shows with outlets. Settle your sabres.

    Boy do I hope they bring back Swipes. Now that I think about it, Sideswipe and Slingshot does sound like a duo when put together.

    Keep in mind the guy you quoted is the same user who insulted someone for liking the FOC combaticons and said transformers toys should be designed by "true fans".

    Corvette possibilities:

    Sure, SideSwipe in the new Bayverse. I like him.

    Tracks would be nice to see.

    Sunstreaker could be a 'vette this time since SideSwipe is.


    As for Decepticons?

    Well, they can retcon some of the Stunticons. Dead End would be a candidate. I like Breakdown and Wildrider as the cars they traditionally were. I guess I'm a lesser fans of Porsches unless we're talking Jazz' 911.

    Now I forgot that Hot Rod could come in as a Corvette.

    If they want to make him special however, I don't think he should be the same kind of car as SideSwipe.

    Finally, it'd be great if SideSwipe had a larger role in this movie.

    BumbleBee was fun because they added Wreck-Gar's personality to him a bit (his speech anyway) to make him even more interesting.

    See, part of his G1 charm (BumbleBee's) was his close relationship with Spike. In the earliest episodes HOUND shared that as well.

    I think for that to work, and to make HOUND as I always loved him, he needs to be a small vehicle like a Jeep Wrangler.

    I have very limited experience with TF Prime and so I don't really know the Bulkhead character. But the vehicle Michael Bay presented as Hound sure looks like it'd be a great Bulkhead. With Ironhide's tough-guy character deceased, Bulkhead would be great to take on that role - especially with this vehicle.

    But Kup had served that purpose in G1.5. And I miss Kup.

    One other thing about the Bayverse:

    Devastator was identified only by sub-title in TF TMP (2007 I think). They could have changed it to Brawl because if you don't take Bay just not caring about mistakes that could've been easily fixed into account, then you have Devastator returning as the Constructicon combiner he was always supposed to be.

    But hey, Megatron returned, right?

    But what the hell had happened to Barricade in TF TMP?
