I'm glad to see the rest of the crew back on board. I think one of the worst things that could happen would for #2 to have a totally different feel than #1 (no bathroom jokes now). This is actually great news that they're already putting the team together for #2. We just might see this movie released on June 26th, 2009 afterall.
** Goes to fire off an email to one of the extreme powers that be in this list for consulting position for the movie **

On the other hand, I'm glad that it is the same ppl that wrote the story for the first movie, because they proably have ideas for an overall arc. I knew there would be a 2. Now let's just see how good it is...

Lol.. what? How are those mistakes? They were part of the story, in this continuity. You just don't like parts of it, which is fine, but they are hardly mistakes.
Oddities that I am talking about are things such as the lack of clarification that Ratchets beam was helping heal bumblebee when fired it at him, or why Jazz just sorta sat there in car mode when bumblebee was laying in two pieces, etc.

Here's how the problem's fixed...
EXT. OCEAN FLOOR
CAMERA TRUCKS ALONG THE SEABED. FISH swim about peacefully. CRABS scitter as they hunt for food. We see a large, metalic mass slumped in the darkness. As camera approaches, we see TWO RED LIGHTS FLICKER QUICKLY then BURN STEADILY. It is MEGATRON and HE IS ALIVE!
Ta da! That's the beauty of fiction... you can do ANYTHING!

They turned what could have been Transformers' shining moment where it once and for all proved to the world to be a deep, complex and epic story into a two-hour version of the 1984 cartoon, only with astoundingly less emphasis on the robots.

Critics unfortunately don't really matter, unless all the people that went to see Transformers said "Huh, well the critics said it was mediocre, so I'm going to go see it.

Transformers was much more than a 2 hour toy commercial. It was also a 2 hour car commercial and a 2 hour pro-military movie.
It's Transformers folks. What more do you want? Transformers will never have the epic and coherent feel of the Star Wars franchise. I feel like so many of you want Transformers to be treated like Star Wars. It's never going to happen. Transformers was originally conceived as a toyline that was immediately marketed as a comic book and a cartoon. Star Wars was originally conceived as a science fiction fantasy movie first and it became a comic/cartoon/toy series later down the road. Hasbro, a toy company, is in charge of the Transformers brand. Star Wars has George Lucase in charge. Two different agendas. Two different concepts.
Transformers will always be a 30 minute toy commercial. That's what they are.
