"Our involvement in Transformers is finally coming to an end. As such, this will be our last 48 hours on this forum. From now on, anything you want to say about Transformers will have to go through the official site if you want it to get to us.
Alex and Michael Bay and I have been re-writing and making the movie as good as it can be until the last possible minute. We are almost out of time. We think you are gonna like it.
Alex and I want to thank Don Murphy and Tom Desanto for having the original instinct that Transformers could be a live action ground breaker.
We especially want to thank everyone on this board, who informed and challenged our thinking all along the way, and who participated in a cutting edge experiment in fan interaction.
All the best,
Bob and Alex".
More Bots. More News. More Awesome.

I think it's great that they have been communicating with the fans. I can't wait to see the final product of the script. I enjoyed the rough draft from February 2006. It's what really turned me from having a few too many negative thoughts about the movie to really thinking this has the potential to be a big summer blockbuster. I still have my reservations about some of the robot designs ... but I think the storyline is pretty solid.

The storyline may turn out good, but the makers of this film are never going to be able to change my opinion as to the TFs' appearances.
I wish the best for the writers, though.

Makes me wish they posted more than....Twice on here. I would have liked to have wished them luck in a more monitor to monitor fashion. Ah well.

True, and I wanted to apologise to them. I was a rather harsh opinionated and I hate to admit, close minded person, to their writing on this film, but I don't have any vendetta towards them. I wish them the best of luck.

In the future, stay the f*** away from our childhoods. We wouldn't want any more of our favorite characters publicly raped in a similar fashion, would we?

So they have basically said they've been re-writting the script (i'm assuming the TF bits as everything else has been filmed) right up until the last possible minute, thus proving it was all still a work in progress, and people are condemning their work. And without even seeing the final product. Some of the people on this site truly make me ashamed to be a part of this fandom.
Even if you don't like what they churn out, at least they took the time to communicate as much as they could with the "fandom".

I can't say I think the script is solid. I don't think we needed another "how / why TF's got to Earth" story. You know, really, did we need yet another conflicting continuity. I'm glad they're gone, but the damage is just beginning.

Fanboys will never be satisfied. I'll be enjoying the movie while you are all bitching and moaning at 2 AM on chatboards to nobody but yourselves about how your childhood was "ruined" by the film. Throw in some anime porn and your night is complete.

This is one thread that there shouldn't have been any bashing.
They had the common courtesy to thank us TF fans on this board who gave constructive criticisms. That is something I have yet to see from Bay or Murphy and, yet, some of you are posting to this thread as though it is another TF movie bash session.

I appreciate their willingness to listen to fans, and I'm looking forward to the movie. It was cool that they wanted to communicate with us about the movie, even though in some areas we might have been ignored (such as megatron's and starscream's designs). however as far as I'm concerned that was the design staff, not the writers. Looking forward to the movie, even though theres alot of what I've SEEN that I don't agree with, hopefully the story and characters more than make up for what I feel are slight short comings (again mostly design wise. To me Starscream's design should be used for a waspinator toy, while megatron just looks nothing like megatron has, or for that matter most transformers in general)
thanks for your hard work in trying to make this a good movie. Hopefully, the movie is gonna rock, although again I am still alittle doubtful in some areas.
