Hmmm. There are a lot of potential problems that were cleared up in that post.
I know that everything is not going to be exactly the way we want it, but I think that things sound like they are going the right direction.
Disappointing that Megatron is not a gun, but considering all of the other stuff that IS going to be in there....I guess I'll have to just swallow that fact.
I hope they don't really touch on a literal "spark" theory much.

About what I would expect. They know they have to appease the fanboys, but also need to pull in a new fanbase. Individual reactions: Hope for Soundwave and friends ..... Rachet the fire truck? That's a switch .... Spike and Carli! ;D Astrotrain or Blitzwing, maybe? Excellent. Someone's been paying attention. Nice recovery on the size changes - very plausible without saying "oops". And as for "big robots" .... combiners or cities/bases (or both)?

UPDATE John Rogers has stopped by Don Murphy's Message Board to clear the air on some questions that had been asked. Again, some interesting info is to be found. "I posted, what, yesterday? And already 10 PAGES of responses? I promised my self not to come back too often, but when somebody told me, I had to see for myself. You guys are amazing. Okay, last post for a while. I'll check back in when the script is done. in the meantime, I'll address some randomly selected questions from those 10 pages. 1.) Specific design stuff like eye color, etc., will be determined by the Hasbro and concept art humans. Not my gig. But I'm meeting with the toy folk this week, and have been told they have some very strict guidelines, and interesting ideas. 2.) Witwicky likes girls. Err, wow. The "kind of" meant that you'll recognize the girlfriend's character name, but she doesn't start out as his girfriend. 3.)There's no "Autobots=american cars, Decepticons=foreign models" paradigm. There is a big difference between the two, however ... 4) The TF's are being chosen because of their personalities. That's more important to the process of treating them like real characters than the alt-forms to me. Of course, I could be wrong. I probably am wrong. But to paraphrase Ash: "Good. Bad. I'm the one with the word processor." 95% of the TF's are like 95% of the originals, no worries. But like no yellow spandex and organic webshooters, some stuff just looks better on film. That's why it's film. 5.)Enough from you cassette playa-hata's out there. 6.)Modern day setting. 7.) No Triple-Changers -- that "more than one Alt-form" was a reference to something else. 8.) You'll see other countries. 9.) [fanboy joking tone] Maybe it's me, but Megatron doesn't need to become a wee little gun because he's Megatron, intergalactic kicker of @sses, and he doesn't hide from no stinking humans [/end fanboy joking tone]. 10.) The guy who changed his name to Optimus Prime: Seriously. You just scared the hell out of me. Peace out, and remember, the entire movie will be centered around Chorostop. Psych. John" Original post: www.donmurphy.net/board/showthread.php?postid=39733#post39733

WOW now that we are starting to finally get real news about the movie. It's starting to get exciting now. But right now I'm cautiously optimistic at this point. Because the Spiderman movies have been great and the Incredable Hulk movie was a stinker. So this could go either way. Ratchet a fier truck what tha? That's what Inferno or Hot Spot is for. The concept of Autobots as American cars and Decpticons as forigen is a cool concept. I hoping that the eye colors hold true to the G1 cartoon, bots = blue, cons = red. Megatron not having to hide who he is. That's a killer statement. I like that one. So I'm guess he will be tank comming throught tearing up everything in site. Hopefuly we will get Mr. Welker. I just have to believe that they will do right by Optimus in design and voice(Mr. Cullen of coarse). That would put us fanboys over the top. But the best news so far NO STUPID, MORON, SILLY, WINNY KIDS!
