Mr. Orci, I can't help but notice you've put "Maximal" under your name. Are you a big Beast Wars fan? And if so, is it possible you may bring one or two Beast Wars characters into the movie universe? If it's alright, can I make a suggestion of Cheetor?  

 

1 - God Bless Bernie Mac. He was not returning to the sequel.

2 - I think he may have just enough armament to get through most things.

 

This concept art appears to imply it is Ravage who is a truck, no?

 

No. Luckiest guy in the world 

 

1.) He knows how skilled Megatron is in defending against swords. They've fought many times.

2.) Certainly, not every human will be on their side.

3.) Optimus hasn't changed a bit!

 

I've been bad at keeping up with our marketing plan on this one. Don't know the answers, actually.

 

1.) The input he was given in general was to make sure the score was more melodic and classic in nature, rather than being too electronic, which could be a temptation when dealing with robots.

2.) No, but in a way, the Transformers vs GI Joe series inspired the first movie -- hence the heavy soldier presence. In a way, that is what we did.

3.) Hmm... Only one Spock.

 

Wow, so many questions on here, and all really good ones. Thanks for taking the time to visit the site and openly speak about the movie! I loved the first film, and am sure the 2nd will be even greater  
I think the hologram idea of Cullen is a awesome idea, Im sure he would love that too.
Most of my questions have been answered, so I basically just wanted to pop in and say hi and great work!
Also, 2.) Certainly, not every human will be on their side. Interesting...

 

Hi bob, does soundwave look anything like his g1 counterpart? I don't mean exactly like it, but at least somewhat like it. and two what do you think of this fan drawing, is this anythink like soundwave in the movie?

 

Hi Bob,

With the Chevy bow tie on "Soundwaves" groin it looks as though someone is implying he is the truck. Live long and prosper.

 

Hello Bob,
Well the was a a pic of the new megatron a little while ago, he was a tank.
Does Megatron Return? Or is it, Galvatron?
Also will we see some old faces in the new movies, Thundercracker,Skywarp, Ramjet, Dirge nd Ramjet?

 

i asked if galvatron is in the movie.. i have a gut feeling we see galvatron
if i'm wrong i'll buy bay and orci dinner

 

this image is what will get me to watch TF2 100 times.. "Everyone has a weakness."

 

soundwave

Mr. Orci, does this resemble soundwave?

 

oh,well thats-WHAT WHAT?!?!
did you just imply dinobots for the future?!

=D (begins dancing joyously)

 

Mr. Orci -

Do (did) you take into account how members of the audience who aren't that familiar with Transformers would accept/react to the new concepts introduced in the sequel?

 

Welcome Mr Orci

I have few Questions? how integeral are IDW's comics to the actual story for tf the movie. Do they help you and director Mr Bay flesh out(or polish) the caracters. and whos Idea was it to have the video comic that came with the wallmart disk.

 

Mr. Orci,

First, I'd like to thank you for continuing to communicate with the Transformers community for so long--we hope for many more  

Now a statement and questions:

I've read here that Soundwave is going to be a satellite and then some sort of truck as the movie progresses? Why a truck; what was the deciding factor for this altmode?

I tend to think an AWAK would have been a better choice, as it too can be used for communication/spying.

Transformed

 

Roberto, could you answer these questions please?

1.will unicron be mentioned or seen in revenge of the fallen?
2.if you could rate 1-10 how dark this movie will be what would you rate it?
3. have any of the new characters got design/appearance references to the characters they were in a previous series, such as Prime (blue helmet, faceplate etc)?
4.if you could describe Soundwave's motives/actions in this movie in short sentance what could you tell us?
5.would you and alex ever consider writing a cgi only film, like beowulf?

 

Thanks for answering a bunch of new questions, Mr. Orci. Without that, this thread would be pointless!

Cheers.
