New Transformers 3 Actor: Patrick Dempsey

Another pretender? I hope not, maybe he's a human who's allied with the Decepticons.

A "darker" character, eh? So... is he going to pull a Robert Downy Jr. and be black for this film?

Absolutely no idea. Maybe voicing a new Con? Doubt it, but, hey, at least he it's not Mudflap and Skidz...xD

Darker character? Dead End?
Nah...no way Menasor would work in the movie-verse....well I suppose he COULD....but....
Hm, no idea who this character would be....maybe a moviefied Animated Cyclonus?

Wonderful! I have no problems taking my ex-wife to see this during the midnight showing on opening night but if Dempsey is in it I'll get stuck taking the ex-mother-in-law as well. Maybe I'll just send them to see the midnight show and the kids & I will catch the 8:00 a.m. show the following morning. I don't think I want to be in the same car with the ex & her mom after the show anyway. The swooning will drive me nuts.

Luckily, mine couldn't care less.

Zarak.

I mean, 'masters a la IDW's series would seem like the next good step for the movies plot-wise, with an 'evil' human and a demented, ambitious Decepticon conspiring together against all others.

For some reason I can easily visualize Dempsey, slick and charming up to the end, finally laughing maniacly as he dons his armor and merges with Scorponok. Although I suppose, we'd need to call him Mega Zarak or something.

Blades.... Nah

Arkeville... Nah

Lockdown perhaps.... Nah

He doesn't exactly strike me as the "gear-head" type so I'm having a hard time wrapping my brain around what type of job they could possibly have Mikeala transitioning into from movie 2 to movie 3 that would be even remotely plausible. I see another complete and total continuity trainwreck coming and all for the sake of simply adding a big name star that wants the thrill of being associated with this franchise.
I'd try to describe just exactly what I forsee TF3 turning into, but out of respect for Ryan I'll refrain from using that kind of language on his site.
