the Autobots would prolly sit around a campfire (made by Decepticon pieces and firewood) singing Kumbaya :P

but Ironhide as a babysitter... lol
A triggerhappy Autobot, babysitting a little baby screaming in the backseat lol... Ironhide would nuke that little baby in a few secs, when it starts to cry lawls.

maybe, but i wouldn't doubt that he would at least threaten with "exterminating", tho :P

unless he really wants to show off his cannons to the baby, and "accidentally" shoots a round lol.

anyways, the thing earlier about humans and autobots teaming up... its like Energon. in Energon the humans were in a alliance with the Autobots, but in Cybertron and Armada, they hid from them. (Armada was before Energon anyways) Cybertron was a bit weird. the Jap version was intended to be seperate from Armada-Energon :P
hmm prolly going out of the subject now, but still... Jazz has to come back lol. Wreckage as well. ;)

Yes, I am. It's bad enough he had to plead with his teacher for his undeserved A to get the battered Camaro, let alone getting a brand new concept car for more or less free.

Yeah, I was wondering about that too...
Unless he tells his parents. I mean the TF's did rip apart a whole city in public.
Maybe Sam lets his parents in on it.

Um...the government gave it to him as an apology for the mixup that got him taken away???

Just a thought off the top of my head.

And Sam would actually let Mikeala drive BB.


This is, if Sam didn't secretly remove the seatbelts on the driver's side.

I don't think Bumblebee would let him do that.


If removing that seatbelt meant Mikaela has no choice but to sit on Sam's lap, I think BB will let him do that.

Or maybe BB and Mikaela will just shove him in the back and she'll get the front for herself!! ^^

In the period between TF1 and TF2...

Prime can practise the "Autobots, transform and roll out!" line with the Autobots.

So that the next time Prime tells them to roll out, they won't be jumping around on top of buildings .

Prime would spend his time reading Shakespeare

While Sam and Mikaela are making out on top of Bumblebee, BB's dreaming of looking under Female bot's hoods.

Ironhide is learning to play Football.

Ratchet is learning about the Human Anatomy. Ratchet- "Your what comes out of your WHAT???" :shock:

And Starscream is on his way back to the circus that is Decepticons HQ, dreaming of delusions of grandeur.

2. They go after Megs from the trench he was dumped in and he is rebuilt into Galvatron with the aid of the aforementioned Constructicons.

3. They go out and attack the Autobot City Base that they have built outside Washington DC.

3. Bumblebee goes out to space to find reinforcements but is unsuccessful. However, OP hatches a plan to use the leftover piece of the Allspark he took out of Megs chest to bring new Earth based creations to life called the DINOBOTS!

4. Huge battles between the two forces occurs spanning the entire East Coast. Many cities are left devastated and Glavatron's new mission is the ultimate extinction of humankind and revenge against the Autobots.

5. Eventually Devastator pairs off against the Dinobots. The new secret weapon that OP has kept close to his chest is revealed in this final battle after many warriors are lost on both sides. The Dinobots combine to form DINOSAUR!

6. Decepticons are defeated and Galvatron is imprisoned on the moon alongside the remaining Decepticons under very tight security.

7. End of film sees a security guard pacing through the moon prison complex. Suddenly Frenzy appears out of nowhere and taps into the computer system and starts shutting down all the secrity protocols.

TF THE MOVIE 3 begins...


well that was a good movie cant wait til 3 comes out now.

I'm not so sure about where Optimus can go. Any number of reasons actually. But those flames on him need to go because it attracts attention already.

Bumblebee is staying with Sam. No doubt about that.

I can see Ratchet making use of his alt-mode. It lets him be the medic he is and study humans at the same time.

I actually like the idea of Ironhide with the Lennox family. Two army veterans and all. But I wonder what he'd look like with a pink babyseat...

I don't think Jazz is coming back.


Jazz is coming back in g1 colors. D. Mcrary said so.


I know they are repainting the toy in G1 colors, but are they really bringing the character back from the dead?

Hard to say. A script hasn't even been written yet. But if you ask me, if they can bring back Jean Gray in X-men after having a lake fall on top of her....surely they could find a way to revive Jazz.

I want the main villain to NOT die. Sheesh. And then I don't want any Autobots to die in the next movie. Unless it's in heroic fashion.

You saying that shooting at the leader of the evil side's ankles is not heroic? Man you are hard to impress :P

Seriously though I agree with you, having Jazz die in the movie was wasteful, I know that they killed him to show that the good guys did not come off unscathed, but if that were the case, they should have killed plenty of squishies as well.

Unless it is more of a "heroic sacrifice" type death, no Autobot should rejoin the Allspark in movie 2.

Instead of a lake falling on top of... as in Jean Gery..

We can have Jazz Autobot scrap falling on into the lake.

Somehow, the fish in the lake nibble at Jazz body... as in Cat Woman.

And Jazz will be whole again... as in Ultra Magnus in 1986 Movie.

Then Jazz came floating out of the lake... as in Supergirl.

I had been waiting & in lurk mode, awaiting my first post. This topic has caught my interest. Lets see, Bumble Bee, Instead of him watchin Mikaela & Sam *Check* under each other's hoods, I can see him playing Jokes on em. Optimus Prime, oh boy, I feel bad for the trucker that drives him. Can you Imagine, cruisin down the road, yer trailer all loaded up & yer headin to where yer drop off is & then suddenly Yer rig stops & kicks ya outta the cab & then Transforms into a Robot? Yea, I wonder what the trucker's dispatcher would have to say :lol: I'm a trucker's daughter, go figure. Ironhide, ya know, I can honestly see him being Lennox's truck or Clint Eastwood's truck :P Ratchet, yea, he's "studying" humans.

As for Jazz, yes it is possible that there is some way to bring him back. We haven't seen Blaster yet, on the Decepticon side. He could show back up & some how revive all the Decepticons that got stuck in the ocean. Including Jazz. Jazz could be mad at the autobots fer a bit & blame them for not saving him. There are so many ways a 2nd & 3rd TF Can go.

Hopefully I made SOME sense there :lol:
