Among the topics covered this time is Soundwave's key personality traits and Roberto Orci's response to the leaked concept art.

You can check out a full summary of the responses by clicking on this story's title or the image to the left to read the full article.
On behalf of the staff of TFW2005 I would like to thank Roberto Orci for answering this latest round of questions. If you have a question that you would like to ask, you can ask it in the Welcome Mr Roberto Orci You May Ask Him Questions Thread on our 2005 Boards. Roberto Orci has answered more of your questions about Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen! Among the topics covered this time:
Filming will end in two days time, in other words, November 6.
Will Primus be mentioned? The answer to this: "Perhaps... certainly some form of deep back story and mythology will be important."
About Soundwave: Roberto Orci confirms that "all signs point to yes" on several of the traits that make Soundwave what he is making it into the Movie. This includes the monotone vocoder voice, his loyalty to Megatron and his minions such as Ravage.
Staying on the topic of Soundwave and Ravage, Bob commented on the leaked concept art of Soundwave, and stated that the "concept art appears to imply it is Ravage who is a truck, no?" (Although the robot mode sketch has a clearly visible truck grill in the waist - what could this mean? Speculate on our 2005 Boards!)
Roberto also addressed the question of if there will be evil humans "Certainly, not every human will be on their side."
In closing, a few final comments from Mr Orci about what to look forward to in the new movie - for example, Optimus Prime "hasn't changed a bit!" from his humble and self-sacrificing personality presented in the first film. Also, with regards to how the writing process has worked for this sequel: "we start with the characters we know we have to have and start by imagining what they'd be up to two years later if we were merely thinking realistically, and we go from there."

G1Wheeljack:
I think Bob was being a sarcastic about Ravage being the truck, otherwise this information is helpful.

Would love a "Primus help us" or something like that.
Grifter Prime:
Anything about the quintessons??? Or will that be in the next movie? I would rather them be behind the Allspark/Transformers creation than *shudder* Primus...
Railguard:
Primus? Why would you be bringing Primus into this now? The Autobots in the movie don't even have access to spaceships not to mention that the earthlings would want to destroy their ship on order to gain knowledge of it.
knook:
Ravage could always be a triple changer or his beast mode is his Protoform
Soundwave84:
I like the idea of Ravage being a truck!!! Soundwave having his voice will be freaking awesome bring back Welker!
harry543:
I have a question. Are the humans gonna to talk to robots and they are gonna talk back. while the robots are in alt mode?
Fit For natalie:
If you want an answer, you should ask Roberto's actual thread.
But this question has been asked before, and Roberto had said some months back that it could be possible.
Mega-con:
If Soundwave has his G1 voice, then I would be estatic. I would just close my eyes in all his scenes.

Eric:
Ravage as a truck!? THIS MAKES NO SENSE! >_<
j/k  Actually that sounds like a nice change. No one would ever suspect a truck being the evil Decepticon kitty.

Rodimus Mike:
Sweet News!!!!! And just think we are within 8 months of going to see Revenge of the
Fallen.I bet this one is gonna make 1 seem like average.Oh and with all the characters
like Jetfire,Devastator,and Arcee this movie will kick major a**.Also I for one hope that
Arcee and Jetfire are in a couple of scenes together,as I have always thought they were
similar in personality.
Insane Galvatron:
Do you think that by what he said, the robot mode in the concept art is Ravage? It was more black than blue and I could kinda see it running around on all fours.
Paradigm-Shift Prime:
A little too much lack of clarity and 'possibly's for me at this point. Seems sort of more like he's trying to obscure concrete rumors/info that have come out than provide us with new info.
Powersa:
cool. The Ravage thing is confusing though.
DarkKnightPrime:
Ravage isnt a truck, He didnt say that, it seemed that he said jokingly, the concept makes it look like ravage is the truck, soundwave is the friggen pickup truch, hence the crotch area, and the lights of the vehichle poping up in the back.

I hope they give Soundwave his proper uncharasmatic personallity.

webz:
still don't believe a single thing Orci says. Sorry, bud. I believe leaked art and scripts before I'd believe a company shill.
vini88:
Wasn't there a toy R/C truck on set? Could that be ravage?
Teh-Shewz:
Fail!
As long as sound wave has his voice. Like said earlier.....im just gona close my eyes.
And if......ravage is the truck that would be a cool transformation and scene.
Keep soundwave the satellite, ill be quite.
Mechafire:
I really hope by "Evil humans", they don't mean Animated esque. (The only thing I hated about the toon.) I hope they mean the Pretenders, or the part of Sector 7 who is pissed at them. I hope it isn't the Autobots, going around putting criminals in jail.

I actrualy really like the idea of Ravage been a truck.
It would be awesome if Soundwave sent Ravage to Earth when he was in his satalite mode, would kick ass!
Soundwave needs Frank Welker to voice him. PLEASE MR. ORCI, PLEASE!!!
Primus huh? Hmm... would love to hear one of the Autobots say "Primus help us all!" when the Constucticons formed Devastator.  Chaos Prime:
I've always admired people who answer questions by not actually answering the questions.
nerdimus prime:
please everybody...can we just stop this ravage is a truck / good idea nonsense.
trebleshot:
I would love to hear Welker and a vocoder as Soundwave again!
As for Ravage being a truck, I'm surprisingly unconcerned. He's also been a micro-cassette, a humaniod robot, a Corvette and a Jaguar (both the feline and the car) before. What's one more alt mode to add to the list? Quote:

Baird:
If he is saying that Ravage is that truck, I have a theory. Notice how the Soundwave design has elements from that vehicle too. Perhaps, that robot design is actually Rumble? He has the big heavy arms, reminiscent of the piledriver look, and two back "prongs" that are a bit like his G1 back guns/missilies. Also, he could have the Soundwave head crest because he is made in his master's image? Perhaps he and Ravage both have the same truck mode or even combine into a single truck?
It is also worth noting that one of the images shows two meteors coming from the satellite, these could be Rumble and Ravage in protoform mode, and this design sheet is showing us their earth modes.
UltraMagnus3786:
Anyone prefer the Quintesson creation myth over Primus? I think that is more "reasonable" and appropriate than introducing the idea of a transformers god.
Alienbot:
Why not both like the Japanese continuity? The Quintessons tapped into Primus' essence to create the Transformers, not taking into account the AllSpark giving them freewill...
