    Bob, I know you guys are late into the production, but can you do one TEENSY little favor for me?

    Get rid of Wheelie. Or at the very least, redesign him into something that doesn't look ANYTHING like WALL-E.

    Thanks.

    Blades is not a police helicopter. He's a coast guard helicopter. On top of that, I think that from the rumors I've heard the Autobots may have 3 "smaller" combiners of sorts: Optimus and Jetfire, the Arcee bikes, and the Hillbilly twins when they combine into an ice cream truck.

    Aside from Devestator, the only other two full-size gesalts are Bruticus and Superion, who are simply the energon G1-esque redecos of the same-name energon combiners and repackaged from the international Universe 2.0 releases of them.

    Bob, since we now know that both Wheelie and the Fallen are movie characters (we've seen their toys), could you give a description as to what characteristics we will see in the movie from both -- or any of these two characters? How important is Wheelie to the movie's plot?

    you know wheelie has all his bio listed on the web with those pics right ? :)  The only mystery left of the two is the big question is the Fallen actually JetFire. ( they look a bit to similar )

    So does that mean does Revenge of the fallen mean The Fallen getting revenge on the Decepticons or Autobots? Question also posed to Mr Orci. Answering that one ambiguously as possible or not at all says volumes :)  jk

    Anything done creatively with care is just as good as anything else whether its a rehash done really well or a new idea completely. so let it go

    Yes, I know that. Character bios are often more in depth and can differ to what we see onscreen, most likely to better sell the toys. Ironhide never came off to me as a old, worn down soldier as the bio on his toy would suggest.

    I asked for "characteristics we will see in the movie..."

    Mr Orci....

    Out of the numerous charaters in both ROTF and the original movie, which one did you find the easiest to write?

    good point by you actually. Ironhide did practically seem chipper and new in comparison to the BIO hell he was doing movie quites like a coffee shop groupie

    Hey Bob are the visual represnsetations of the characters like you pictured them or have they been completely overhauled and if so did it cause for rewrites in any cases?

    Hey Roberto,

    So if Michael Bay walked up to you and said, "In Transformers 3 I want Optimus Prime to Transform into a house cat!" would you:

    A) Head-butt Bay, cuss him out, and steal his jet?

    B) Nod and smile as you simultaneously speed-dial Hasbro's lawyers and the nearest nuthouse?

    C) Begin preliminary writing on Transformers 3, Return of Opti-mittens Prime?

    PS, My dad still loves Fringe. Do you participate in every episode?

    Yeah, this seems almost like plagarism of Wall-E's design. I don't mind reusing the Wheelie name, but his design is just two tank treads away from the Pixar character.

    Hello Mr. Orci,

    Now that we have seen The Fallen's design, how did you guys come up with the idea of using a villian that was only in the War Within comics as opposed to one more mainstream? Was it between you, Alex, and Ehren, or did it come from Michael or higher up?

    Not that I am complaining because I think he is completely bad-ass and cannot wait to see him on the big screen.

    P.S. Great job on Fringe, I love it.
