Aircraft Carrier Rumour

While talking about his decisions on why some Transformers made the cut and not others, Bay lets slip a juicy morsel. "I had an amazing aircraft-carrier idea that was just too expensive, so maybe another movie… that'll get the fans talking!"

As far as I can tell the Autobots have no use for an aircraft carrier so its probably going to be a Decepticon. I have an itchy feeling its going to be called Fortress Maximus...


So Bay wants to pollute the sea now? Leave the whales alone you jerk!

Bit of an old rumour really. Can't really see the sense in it. Robots in disguise? Yeah, I think they'd notice if there was suddenly an extra aircraft carrier floating around. You can easily ignore a police car with odd logos, but an aircraft carrier? That might stick out a bit.

Plus it reminds me too much of Broadside. *shudders*

1: i like the idea.....but fortress maximus? nah dnt think so espicialy if it is decpticon.

2: as for the noticing an extra aircraft carrier, the sea is a big place :-?

3: i had the idea that only part of the AC should transform to bot coz a aircaft carrier would be **** huge, so like a norm sized bot and a atillery based left over....

4: as for name....the most obvious is tidalwave

just my thoughts :grin:

Not if you destroy the one you copy from.

HAHAHA. I don't know why, but I just picture a scene people scratching their heads and wondering why there's weird-looking city floating around next to Manhattan. But it's actually Forty in disguise.

Don't use an aircraft carrier. Instead, use the largest class of BATTLESHIP and have that be OMEGA SUPREME. That kinda would make sense, right???

well... :-? I don't remember Omega ever being a battle ship, but Tidalwave has been. Maybe it could separate into two vehicles and a mech.

Shockwave, in his game triple changer form, could show up with, Soundwave, as his land communication officer/ vehicle or a stealth bomber, and Titalwave carrying his remaining troops.

Starscream could have a subfaction in his aerial fleet of seekers though.

Given the size of OMEGA SUPREME, that would make more sense. And besides, this is a new Transformers, right? Megatron is now a Jet. Instead of the classic Walter P38 gun we're all accustomed to.

So why can't he have a bit of a change?

If he was in the sequel, they could have him say things like "Talk. Limited". Or something silly like stepping on a house :D

A seafaring transformer probably won't get much screen time.

One half of him was a battleship in Energon.
