Michael Bay deserves some serious credit. This film could have easily turned into two hours of soulless computer-generated action. Luckily for us, he actually had his people build giant real-life transformers.

I wonder if we’ll see any of them on Ebay after production has wrapped?

I think this will turn out quite good.  I was a bit sceptical at first, but it looks like there is serious effort put into this.  I just hope the script is ok, I know it won't be great, but I hope that it is at least decent.

Quoted from Acroname I could never really believe in the Transformers, even as a kid. It just seemed like an excuse to see robots battling each other, with no purposeful story. It was always too far fetched for me. But when I read the script review for the film, it actually stirred my interest. Some of the imagery sounded cool, especially the part at the beginning with the robot pretruding through the ice. I will go and see this film when it comes out.

Were you born a 40-year-old?  

Of course it's an excuse to see robots battling each other! Since when was that not an awesome premise for a film!

The only thing that could make this movie more badass would be zombies...

Autobots and Decepticons were revealed.  Here are the rosters:

Autobots: Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Jazz, Ratchet, and Ironhide.

Decepticons: Megatron, Starscream, Brawl, Bonecrusher, Skorpinok, Frenzy, Blackout, and Barricade.

I'm sad Soundwave won't be in this one.  I know a cassette player is really outdated, but that can be updated.

Bumblebee has got to be the worst Transformer ever.

Me want Grimlock!!!  Grimlock was freaking awesome.

Leaked designs for Megatron.





-Zavier

Zavier,

I hope that is a leaked rejected design for Megatron.  It looks like a Predator/Alien hybrid.  I expect to see something like that in the new AVP movie.

I like the classic look better.

Quoted from Rob S. I hope that is a leaked rejected design for Megatron.

Take a look at the third red box, the first words look like "final version". Anyway, in my opinion they look awesome. If Bay and his team strictly stuck to the original show, everything would be dull and repetitive.

-Zavier

Actually, when you look at the design and the red box, it does say "Final Version," but under that it says "Approved by: Michel Bay" and someone else and then has a box for them to check. There isn't a check mark, though, meaning it isn't approved.

Still, I think it looks sweat!

how the heck does that turn into a gun, I can't really see it, but it does look pretty cool

WHOA! Hey guys, what the hell? The Tranformers script for this film was removed from SS!!

I always thought that was an early draft from the animated flick in the 80s but I read it and there was an I-Pod reference, so how's that possible? Is that why the script was removed? Because it had leaked?

If so, I will be very dissapointed with this film. Prime and Megatron only appeared towards the end and the rest of the autobots by the end of the 1st half of the film. I reckon this movie will probably suck badly...there was more dialogue with the humans than with the Robots.

I'm afraid this film will be bad.

I'm sure it was an early draft of the script for the film. It's probably gone through quite a few more drafts since then. I guess we can only hope that that was a rejected draft and that they rewrote it.

Still, I'm looking forward to this film no matter what.

-Chris

An early draft of Transformers has made another appearance on the 'net, again.  Written by John Rogers with revisions by Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci (in IMDB it has John Rogers as contributing only the story with Alex and Roberto as screenwriters).  Not sure how long it will be around, so grab it quick.  - Don

Hey, I heard the Soundwave in this script has been re-written into a Frenzy. Now, I don't really have much memory of Transformers, but wasn't Frenzy one those casettes that Transformed into little robots? If so, that'll suck, because he won't have eny of his smaller companions.

Besides, a recorder throwing CDs at people is just stupid. And then there's also a Tranformer iPod? Damn!

Also, why's Bumbelbee not able to talk? How does that contribute anything to the plot.

I really hope the script is going through some HEAVY re-writes right now.

Quoted from Nixon This picture was up for maybe ten minutes before being pulled. There were a few other pictures, but they were yanked so fast, I only had time to save one. Very impressive.

The first close-up look of a "real" Autobot or Decepticon.

Why are they making the robots real? Why aren't they using CGI to do it? Kinda strange.
