^Link is dead, but hereā€™s what Wikipedia has on what the Autbots & Decepticons will transform into-
Writers Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci indicated that the storyline will not be based upon the original Generation 1 series. Optimus Prime as a Freightliner cargo truck, Megatron as an alien jet, Vortex/Incinerator as a MH-53 PAV Special Ops Helicoptor, Scorponok as a mechanical scorpion and minion of Vortex/Incinerator, Ratchet, Starscream as an F-22 Raptor, Soundwave as a 4 foot boombox, Brawl as a 2006 Ford Mustang police car, Devastator as an M-1 Abrams tank, Bonecrusher as a mine clearing vehicle, Ironhide as a pickup truck, Bumblebee as a 1970ā€™s Camaro (upgraded to a 2006 Camaro concept later in the film) and Jazz as an exotic Murciellago Lamborghini will be amongst the Transformers featured in the film
Holy shit A 4-foot boombox?! I WANNA SEE THIS MOVIE NOW!

RUMORED SPOILERS FOR THE MOVIE


Transformers the Movie

Optimus Prime/Starscream chase scene, through a busy street. Lots of transforming, leaping over cars, transforming back. Apparently you get scenes like Transformers fighting on city buildings, blowing up, shooting through buildings, typical Michael Bay stuff. Bumblebee starts as a 74 Camaro, eventually turns in to a 07 (or 08?) Camaro, the frist new model in awhile. GM is planning to promote this new Camaro through Transformers quite a bit ā€¦ can we say Alternators Bumblebee? (speculation) A couple of these scenes seem to mimic the script TonyB reviewed awhile back, FYI

ive read the script, i dont even recall starscream being in it, least of all that scene. there is very little autobot/decepticon interaction. and no big transformer on transformer action like that, as it would be too expensive

Yeah, the ā€œleakedā€ scripts have been called fake by the producers.

all the info is basically out everywhere now. this movie is 80% humans, 20% bots. the changes in transformations have been noted, roles have been covered, etc. megatron doesnt speak until page 90, megs and optimus are brothers, there is only one ā€œenergon cubeā€ etc etc

Here are the first images (partial) of an actual Transformer from the new movie. Probably Bumblebee. Also, here is Bayā€™s comment on the images:

This one is of his hand:

This second one looks to me like a shot of the top of his head.

Got my Mirage today!

damn you.

Iā€™d always heard Beast Wars was pretty good, but for whatever reason Iā€™d just never watched it. But the Cartoon Network here is running Beast Machines, so I figured Iā€™d finally just sit down and watch BW. ā€¦It is good. Really good. Like, not just good for Transformers, good period.

I just watched Code of Hero. That shit was ridiculous. Iā€™m seriously choked up. Justā€¦wow.

You have officially killed the movie for me T_T (Mind u Iā€™m NOT pissed off at ya or anything butā€¦)
Stillā€¦I canā€™t belive thatā€™s what the movieā€™s gonna be, I mean that would be total shitā€¦

Az has seen the light. Time for you to buy the entire collection of Beast Wars/Machines.

Itā€™s good stuff right there!:sweat:

Itā€™s about damn time.

Dunno if this is oldā€¦ but itā€™s damn wicked!!!

If any of you guys are kinda disappointed at how small the g1 reissues are, you should buy the takara Sixshot reissue. I just got him in the mail today, and he is fuckin BIG. Also got my reissue Galvatron, so its been a good couple days for my collection. :tup:

Iacon One was fun. Scott McNeil is awesome. Venus Terzo is hot. There are a lot of cool toys I did not know existed. And Superman.

AICN claims this Optimus vehicle mode in the movieā€¦

maybe im being really fanboyinshly stupid, nitpicky, clouded by nostalgie, etcā€¦
but that looks gay
*edit; could be alot worse
still praying for cullen, welker voiceacters
