Darn tootin'! No Megatron? I just can't picture that. It's like removing something very important. His badassitude makes it all the cooler. Besides, I highly doubt the Decepticons would be able to keep it together without his unifying force.

for the record: Ive never been a fan of the dinobots either! In fact, im not a fan of non-vehicular transformers period.

the dinobots were great in the '80s movie.
"Tell me more stories about petrolrabbits." Grimlock to Kup like a little kid

Dinobots bailed the autobots out a few times

I loved to see Megs more in prequel as the Leader and commander but they just let his great time and the contradiction between Megs and Starscream short and gone with the wind. So the time for Megs is over but he will return with the new format and name may be at the last on the 2nd film.

Let's keep in mind that as Megatron's second in command he has been in charge of the Decepticons for thousands of years in his absence. So there isn't really much to declare....unless they bring Megatron back. Personally, I'd love that, as it would give us more of their hate/hate relationship. Just PLEASE spare Starscream's life, writers!!

PS. No dinobots.

I just want to see Megs portray more with his leadership and his relation with Autobots in cybertron in the flashback scene which they can put it more a bit detail then it could have the answer for why many of decepticons in command still have the loyalty to him even he missing such a long time? and why Starscream is not? I just think this will be worth description than the other unnessary scenes.

I hope for the 2nd film, they will put more the detail of cyberton and yeah as you said Starscream's life when he take over Megs.

I don't see why peope don't want to see the Autobots' enforcers in the next movie. I mean seriously, Dinobots would kick some serious arse. Giant frikin' robots that blow sh*t up that turn into giant frikin lizards that also tear sh*t up. Dinobots could only mean more destruction & more mass chaos that would make the movie awsome. On stuff like that, always it's not what you use so much as how you use it.





......besides, nobody seemed to have a problem with the giant robotic arachnid landshark......

I seriously doubt they'd hire an actor of Hugo's caliber, and not bring him back for the sequel.

That being said, i want Megatron back in the sequel for sure. There's no reason not to bring him back. It is well known the Meagtron is Indestructable. Besides, we barely got Megatron in the first film, and ppl are already writing him off...?

Bring back Megs, with an earth alt mode and make him look a little more like his G1 design ala Prime.

I agree with what you said, what they re-made Megs in which form, He is still my love.

Acutally, I have a much hope to see Frank get involve with the new case like Soundwave and Hugo remain for Megs.

But for Hugo, I have the feel that he may not return for the role since he never come to speak anything about it from the begining of the announcement till now. (I think sometime like it hurt him and Frank lot when I found fans was seperate 2 side) So this may way better that Hugo himself didn't want to return.

This was one of the thing that I dislike Bay's managing. He must handle it right in the first place. He should give Frank/Hugo/Peter work from the 1st film.

I still didn't know who will be the new VA for return of Megs in the sequel if he is not by Hugo's voice.
I will miss him for sure as I want him to stay.

If Bay is not deaf director, Give Frank the role in new cast for the sequel.

Bay just did something like rush and force made it SHORT /SHORT and SHORT then CUT ,CUT and Cut. Wonder that The budget 150 m.USD not enough to created the more story in Cyberton?

I would say I will put the money bet on Peter Jackson direct this kind of film. He could made it Great, and worth the 2 1/2 hours long,he could handle well and made it right on the many characters like Transformers.

Having no Megatron is like having no Prime.

Sure he's ugly and his design still sucks, but he kinda needs to be in the sequel... maybe not from the start, but he could come back at the end of the film.

No Galvatron though, that whole concept is over-used and done-to-death...

One of the best statements i've read in this forum in a long time.

I believe DeSanto has stated he is interested in bringing the Dinobots into the next movie (along with Soundwave), but unless they turn the dinos into Zoid-like creatures, I don't see how they would work. I could see Grimlock as a tank or Striker vehicle, though.

I do agree that Megatron should take five in the next movie, let Starscream or someone else be the big bad the next movie. I don't agree that a cold, calculating character would be an uninteresting character. BW Megatron was definately a calculating character and it made him an interesting member of the cast. To dismiss Shockwave as "too cold and calculating and thus uninteresting" is rather insulting to the character.

I agree no Dinos please

If for no other reason, they need to bring Megs back to exact revenge. The big point he was trying to make during his whole time in the first movie was about how weak humans were, & then right as he was about to put the finishing touches on Prime, he got his shiny metal arse handed to him by the so-called weaklings, forcing him to grasp defeat out of the jaws of victory. Imagine how p*ssed he's gonna be when he wakes up. That in itself would be a great reason to put him back in the next movie.

I agree with your first point: Prime is to Megatron what Batman is to Joker, or Lex Luther is to Superman; they're equal, only on different sides of the same coin.

Bringing back Megatron at the END of TF2? Isn't that a reharsh of the first movie?

I know some want Starscream to have his time in the spotlight, but prehaps we could accomadate both those that want Megatron in the leader role (like myself) and those that want Starscream as Decepticon leader by having two subplots going on at the same time. Prehaps Starscream could be trying to insert rulership over what's left of Cybertron, or the other Decepticons that might be on the Nemesis ship (for those that haven't read the prequel novel- it's the ship the Decepticons came to our solar system in)..meanwhile Megs is on earth-alive. With Barricade and scorponok.......

Remember Starscream will surely tell the other Decepticons that Megatron is dead, and maybe have him and Shockwave go at it for control.

I think TF2 can please both the Megatron fans plus the SS fans.


And yeah, plz NO GALVATRON! He wasn't even originally intended to be the same character according to Hasbro. That was something that the TF86' movie came up with because they couldn't kill off Megatron and replace him, like they did Prime, because Megatron is indestrucatble.

Bad, bad idea!

I agreed 120% with you.

Hope the director and writer will treat it better right in TF2.

By transitive theory, if Prime is = Megatron, and Megatron is indestructible, then Prime should be/should have been indestructible. They really goofed on that. For the next movie, I think SS and shockwave will fight for control and somehow Megatron will awaken at sometime, maybe being facilitated by Shockwave or not.

It's an animated, fictional CGI design.

Yes , and there is also the character and soul of Megs, he is one of my love badass evil guy beside Ironhide who is the kickass guy in this film for me.

So it's doesn't matter he will be animated ,CGI. I could touch the feel. I seem like someone who in love with the characters in game. That was the similar feel,but the character in film was just more description.

The character which was written by Michael Bay. Seriously, would you want to wake up next to a face like that in the morning? Seriously, it's like paper bag time or somethin.

he look like a Beast in this version. he may look less charming then he was in G1 or BW. But he is still Megatron for me. "I am Megatron" and yes he is.

"Me....Grimlock....don't feel...too happy...now...!!!"

Seeing Scorpinok in the first movie all but confirms Bay opening the plossibility of Dinobots featured in a future movie. I'ld like them to bring Megs back and not as Galvatron. Maybe at then of the following movie or glimspes of him in a third.

I'ld be conscerned if Galvatron was wipped out on the sequel. There's just to much of the mythos he could work with before using a spawn of unicron like the last few series have.

While i notice Prime saying they don't have the allspark anymore, he did a peice in his hand... think that could lead to having a matrix or a "matrix quest"?

Could be like the movie 'Unbreakable', where Bruce Willis' character was indestructable and Samuel Jackson charcter was extremely breakable..i guess.

i wonder if they could have Megs come back in an earth alt-form but be changed from the allspark situation. like mentally maybe and have permanent physical changes/damages/scars. Like have his voice scarred and have Welker do it. lol.

I'm willing to overlook any plot device, no matter how far fetched, for them to bring in Welker!
