As Awesome and Beloved as they are, I just could never see them translate properly into this type of media. It would just be hoaky.


I have to agree with you here, if Michael Bay, Steven Spielberg, and the writers want to maintain the realistic aspect that was present in the first movie, then they will stay away from the Dinobots, combiners/gestalts, and Unicron, or anything that might stretch the credibility of the plot.

disguise is pretty much the autobots stick for infitration and intelligence gathering but the dinos are a much more overt heavy assault type of group.

sides ya cant tell me it wouldnt look cool to have comic grimlock and co go up againts the constructicons. :grin:


Oh contrare mon frair, their cover was not blown. Remember the massive cover up that took place during the credits at the end of the movie.

And they were only out in Michigan City. No ones even heard of Michigan City so you would believe anything someone from Michigan City would say anyway.

What does he mean by "different type of species"? There's Autobots and Decepticons. What else is there? Maximals and Predacons? Minicons? Headmasters? :-?

And what did he say about "more than 8 characters"? It's kind of hard to hear because the other guy was talking.

Michigan City? :???:


on topic: Yeah, I wouldn't do Dinobots either if it was my movie. I'd be afraid they wouldn't fit. Combiners would fit though.

i really dont care if the dino bots are in the sequel or not it just really wouldnt fit into the story to much but if by a chance bay does include dinots or dinobot they should have the cybertronian forms from the war within series instead of the dinosaour modes that would be good but if bay does include the dinobots or dinbot in the film bay is the man that can make it work in the upcoming sequel.

cliffjumper, or hotrod are the autobots i would like to see in the second and the decepticons combiner, soundwave or shockwave one of the 3

the video still wont play, it just comes up and crashed :? and there's no text in the written version. Id love to see Hot Rod in 2, but if they are putting in Soundwave, why not the autobot opposite Blaster???? They always seem to be the nemisis of each other, so why not again?

Michigan City, the fictional city Josh Duhamel said they needed to get to for the Air Force to extract the cube.

And please explain how combiners would work and NOT dinobots. As a previous post stated, Scorponok had no alt mode and he fit in just fine.
