"I wanted to let Seibertron.com know that we have a gallery of 10 original Transformers that fans can vote on to send a message to the studio about who they'd like to see in a second movie. Figured this would be up your alley!
There's a giant Devastator image on the front page of our Life page online:
http://www.usatoday.com/life/default.htm
I'd be curious to hear who you'd like to see!"
You can vote for which Transformer you'd like to see in the sequel by visiting the link below:

Let your voice be heard! Vote here: http://www.usatoday.com/life/movies/news/2007-07-18-Transformers_N.htm
______________________UPDATE________________________________
UPDATE! Wheeljack35 gives us the heads up, the poll is complete, and the winner with an unconvincing 20% of the vote, was...
Soundwave.
Devastator and Grimlock each received 16% of the vote, Jetfire 11%, Ultra Magnus 9%, and Shockwave 9%.
Here's the link for the results page on the USA Today website.
Happy or sad about the vote? Obviously, we are a community that has many different tastes. It was really great of them to make that poll and give us some say in the process. The fact that there was no run away winner, shows just how many great characters there are, and that they have numerous options for the next movies.

It still was a hard choice to be honest. I would also love to see Soundwave, Shockwave or Ultra Magnus. But the list is a bit odd IMO.. What the hell are the Insecticons, Hot Rod and Ravage on that list. There are so many other and better characers (IMO): Prowl, Blitzwing/Astrotrain and others..

I voted for Mirage because they could really do some great stealth-mission stuff, and if they bring in the Autobots' 'not-sure-if-they-can-trust-him' aspect, it'd be great. However, I don't think they will. This is Hollywood, and they're obviously just going to try to aim for something which would result in greater visuals.
Hence, the logical victor is (not Shockwave, heh heh) Devastator. The giant robots transforming, combining, and laying waste to a city would probably do wonders for ticket sales.

That movie design is so cool, and alot of the fans have have mentioned how they would like to see her in movie #2. I'm even making a bunch of new sigs for those who want to see her in the next movie (see below), she should at least be in the poll somewhere...

A robot in disguise in disguise? Woah, this is heavy, Doc...!

I'm sure that Arcee is already in the next movie seeing as how Hasbro has the toy made and all the CGI test shots have already been done. I wouldn't be suprised if wreckage shows up as well.

Sideswipe
Sunstreaker
Mirage
The Dinobots(3)
The Insecticons(3)
And 3 more I can't say!
And Micheal Bay lets keep the storylines mainly focused on the Transformers please?!

Soundwave is going to win this popularity contest so easily it's sad. The only other character giving him any serious competition is Grimlock.

There is already a model of him from the TF video game, he's a badass triplechanger, and if they could whip out a damned good looking toy of that version of Shockwave. That would be sweet.
Posted by VecPrime on July 19th, 2007 @ 1:21pm CDT
Shockwave for decpticon leader. Give us Tidal Wavw with Starscream and his Seeker jets, coming to Earth as a spaceship and morphing into a carrier in the Pacific.
Give us Jetfire as an F-14 (hey, if bumblebee can be an old camaro, he coulda scanned the old fighter. Added humor could be that he once starred in Top Gun)
Give us Elita as a pink corvette. Metroplex, perhaps given a spark by something else like Vector Sigma that the Autobots have to quest for before Tidal Wave gets to shore. Let's get into space and see the universe as the Transformers know it.
and at the end have Galvy arise from the abyss...

They're letting the fans give input and heavily influence their decisions with the second film?
AHHHH! NO!

But anyway, my other picks on the list would be:
Devestator(the real one)
Sky Fire
Shockwave
Mirage
and of course Ravage
I like how that Bonaventura guy says this time they are going to listen to the fans. It would seem that now that the concept of Transformers has been introduced to the public, they can really go wild now. So, c'mon everybody, shout it in unison, "We Want Combiners!!!!We Want Combiners!!!!We Want Combiners!!!!"

PS i would love to see JetFire, but he just doesn't fit in with this Transformers. He have to be bigger then Megatron, and no earth mode would work and we can do the whole cybertron jet thing again. Devastator being 5 stories makes sense since they are combiners.
Posted by Sentinel Pax on July 19th, 2007 @ 2:16pm CDT
Wait...Dinobots work, but a jet wouldn't? That doesn't make much sense. I said Mirage, because the thought of what Michael Bay could do with an F1 race car had me giggling with excitement. That, and you could play his doubts about the war, and have Ironhide or someone else think he's a spy.TallTiki wrote:PS i would love to see JetFire, but he just doesn't fit in with this Transformers.
Invisibility for the win, though!
I wish I had seen Grimlock on the first time around, though, because I would have chosen him. Stupid me for not noticing the scroll bar.

plus as ninjaburn said on page one you just have to have a smackdown between the dinos and the constructicons. so as long as theyre smart the dinos do it for me
must admit though, be cool to see ravage!

THAT LIST SUCKS.
Only 10 potential characters? The list is really weak... I mean, Ravage?! I can easily think of another 10 characters to put there... I hope the new characters in the next movie won't just be from that list. If so, I'm dissapointed already.
Posted by PaperBird on July 19th, 2007 @ 3:04pm CDT
Watch, the new decepticon heavy hitter in TF2 is going to be Ravage.

"We made Grimlock a battleship because I wanted a battleship last time and didn't get to make one. So this time I made one and named it Grimlock because I saw his name on a piece of paper somewhere. Remember, we care enough about these characters to forget about them in the end of the movie, and misname them in the subtitles. Now, let's talk about Screamwave..."

It's hard to think it, but maybe the sequel (if it ever gets made) will actually be worse?
