I got lost will all the "racism" stuff... :HEADHURTS:

Some people just need to chill...I see where some of the discussion comes from due to the "Twins," which personally was WAY BLOWN OUT of proportion...Hell, I was more offended by Jazz in the first movie. All this in this thread from the word "samurai." Samurai, despite it's actual cultural context, has become synonymous with honorable warrior in modern times. That being said, back to the ACTUAL TOPIC :BANG_HEAD:

HOUND? I can believe, especially since he was pretty constant through G1... My PERSONAL wish, I would LOVE to see him as the JEEP Hurricane concept car, THAT would be badass. :BOWDOWN:

SOOoooo... Galvatron, Dinobots and Drift (not sure why anyone got anything BUT Drift out of the clues #-o

...took "samurai" too literally)... ALL THREE of those are TOO GOOD to be true, so I will refrain from jumping up and down for now. I have heard the Dinobots and Galavatron rumors every movie since ROTF and been disappointed every time :BANG_HEAD:

So until Michael Bay has a press conference with concept pictures behind him and toys of the characters in front of him, I will not even waste time and energy speculating and arguing about this... Even of the event I imagined happened I still wouldn't believe it 100% :BOOM:

I look forward to knowing who is ACTUALLY IN the movie, till then we can speculate and argue till we're blue in the face... We are all destined to have fun till the last minute when the movie comes out next year :grin:

I could be wrong on this, but I think the comics version of Galvatron wasn't a reformat of Megatron, but a completely different character.

This, of course, has been a subject of endless controversy by fans. It's up to Bay decided whether to make him a reformatted Megs or a different character.

SPOILER for 90 &91 of Regeneration One

It seems as if in the new IDW comic Regeneration One Optimus now believes that Galvatron....is or was Megatron.

Yes, in the IDW universe, Galvatron was one of Nova (Nemesis) Primes crew who came back from the dead universe.

Personally, I actually quite liked the idea from that confirmed fake leaked script from a while ago, where Galvatron turns up as his own character, and as a herald of Unicron, but then gets possessed by Megatron, who's conciousness somehow survived.

I can see Hound being the tough guy replacement for Ironhide, and Lockdown being a typical Bay decepticon, with a few lines, similar to movie 1 Barricade.

Hopefully the dinobots will be handled well, although I think they are no doubt going to be the 'comic relief', even if it is very toned down. I also am not getting my hopes set high for all five dinobots making an appearance, I think Bay may choose to go the animated route and stick with three to cut costs a little.

The samurai character sounds pretty obviously like Drift/Deadlock, but unless they change his design he will be the third sword wielding fast car autobot on the team, after Sideswipe and Mirage. This leads me to believe however that either one or both of them won't be appearing (for unexplained reasons probably...RIP Jolt, Skids, Mudflap), or they will be completely reimagined.

When Bay first said about the reimagining of the robots, I was hoping he just meant updated designs for the existing characters, but I suppose it is possible that he could change their personalities as well, although im sure many will argue that that's no great loss, as they hardly had any personality in the first place.

I just hope he actually gives them SOME characterization and personality. What I hate is for the TF's to have no discernible personalities at all (Jolt, Arcee sisters, Constructicons).

IMO, he did great with the personalities of the TF's in the first movie. Prime was brave and selfless, Ironhide was this crusty drill-sergeant type weapons specialist, and Jazz was cool as you please. Bee was mute, but at least he retained his cheerful, gung-ho personality.

As for Galvatron, I'd personally like for him to stay his own character instead of being possessed by Megatron. I'd like to see him as an anti-Megatron; cold and strategic where Megatron was violent and brash, and "honorable" where Megatron was ruthless. A different, more subtle and "classier" kind of evil, if you know what I mean.

Kind of like the difference between that Hell's K!tchen chef Gordon Ramsay (Megatron) and his mentor Marco (Galvatron).

NOTE: Why the hell does the word processor always replace the word "k!tchen" with " a place to cook food?"

Spambot filter.

Don't get too excited. Remember what happened in DOTM? Most of the characters' names were replaced with others: i.e. Roadbuster's "working" name was Warpath, and guess what? No Autobot tank in the movie. So, you know, Galvatron could just as well be someone else.

I don't think they would do that to someone as major as Galvatron...

That's what I'm thinking. Hound might change, but I doubt Galvatron and the Dinobots will.
