Basically, this film will probably suck for those people expecting anything like what they had in their childhood.
It's going to be typical Bay summer crap. The plot is that Transformers are arriving on earth to hide amongst us and conquer us. Centers around a teenager who buys his first used car (a 70s camero) and it turns out to be Bumblebee. Later, Bumblebee gets reformated into the new Camero prototype. Robot mode for Bumblebee is a little more monstrous, a mess of pistons and mechanics with few bits of panels, etc. Much more "American" or "modern" takes on alien robots.
Megatron will either be a tank or a jet but chances are that he's a jet since Devastator is now a tank - they cheaply reuse the tank prop from that second triple x movie blarrgh. He's nolonger made of combined Constructicons. Bonecrusher is some sort of Army digging/recovery vehicle with lots of nasty hooks and things. Starscream is an F-22 reportedly and design sketches show him as a sort of monsterous piston and pipes monster with claw type hands and legs and skullish face. Bumblebee is the new Camero and there's a Decepticon called Brawl who is a "evil" Police Mustang. Optimus Prime is a new design, may turn some people off according to reports but nothing definite out for him yet.
I can post pictures of the vehicles from the set if anybody wants to see. I for one am very disappointed but I guess fans of American muscle and American military driving around in the desert might like what this movie is turning into. Nothing at all like the old Transformers we all love but that's what happens when you strap big name hollywood directors (who have no idea what things are about) to childhood dreams.
But yeah, chime in if you want set pictures of the various vehicles, etc. There's only one pic of Bumblebee in robot form so far, as prop robot on a truckbed. The rest will be CG. No Grimlock. Soundtrack will most likely be your boring typical orchestra fare. Those hoping for a classic synth and metal soundtrack like the original will be disappointed.
Typical hollywood producers ruin everything. DeBonaventure, one of those bigwig hollywood producers that don't know anything went out and said that they wouldn't consider hiring the original voice actors for the original cartoon and insulted their lack of talent and said he preferred a hollywood cast of stars like George Clooney or something. What an insult, many of those old voice actors were fantastic, have years and years of experience, and are even in the voice actors guild. Stupid hollywood and having to put stars in everything. If they had their way, Nic Cage would have been Superman.
