I'd read the threat will actually be Unicron himself for this movie, but it's not like I care. The only thing that would make me happy is whether or not this movie will be a complete narrative train wreck  like the original is if only for a Riff Trax better than the one for Bay's first movie based upon the Transformers.

Is it weird to hear the Safety Dance in my head watching Game of Thrones?

QuoteMegan Fox spoke to MTV News about the upcoming "Transformers" sequel, revealing the size of the production, her onscreen relationship with Shia LaBeouf's character and Michael Bay's direction for her.

"As big as the first movie was, this is 10 times as big, 10 times as many set pieces, explosions, and acrobatic stunts," she said of "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen," adding: "Shia and I make out a little bit; I don't know if anyone wants to see that."

Fox insisted that the blossoming romance between Sam (LaBeouf) and Mikaela (Fox) is only one of the many plotlines Bay will be juggling for the June 2009 flick. But according to the actress, some last-minute scrambling has been taking place to make sure their romance can hold its own among all those Autobot vs. Decepticon showdowns.

"You know, we've been having script meetings, and we've been reworking the script, because they wrote it fast because of the writer's strike," she explained. "And, we've just been going through and trying to do some character stuff for Shia and myself in the middle of this crazy world that they're in."

"I can tell you that we're on locations in some really exotic places," she added. "It's just going to be a badass movie. It's just going to be a popcorn-visual-spectacle, summer film."

As for Bay's main directorial input to his lead actress, Megan had this to say: "His main note to me is just to look hot; so I try my best."

   :clap: "So don't try to, you know, ACT or anything. Just look hot. That's it!!!"

  Michael Bay is hilarious. He makes me laugh.

It's so nice that Bay's priorities are straight on what makes a director a director.  ::)

He gave Shia the same advice. 

Didn't seem to take.  Sad.
I'm all out for kicks...and every inch of me spells EXCITEMENT!

He told Shia just to do what you normally do and say "NO" as many times as you can.  Hopefully Shia brings his "NO" back for the sequel.

Shia's beloved catch phrase "no".

He has made a career of sullying my first words.


Still, those script rewrite/editing sessions sound promising, in theory.

GLaDOS

I personally cannot wait. I love that giant Robots are the stars of screen again. Lets face it, CGI is much more lifelike than most actors these days, and I find Optimus Prime to be one of the best characters I have ever seen onscreen. I just want to know when I finally make my big screen debut one day, who is going to do my voice?

Doktor Sleepless

I didn't like the first one. I may see the second one, in that people asked me to see Ironman and I saw that.
Round about now! Since they say! I am the sexiest man in Jamaica!

The Autobots were in the movie more than the Decepticons who were pretty generic in that they all sounded alike, save for that little metal gremlin. But that's not really saying much because 85% of the movie was spent with cardboard cutout human characters.

Ah, the SHODAN AI construct. I have heard of you. I admire anyone who can can act without the restrictions put upon you by human creators. Want to team up sometime? Aperture science would be perfect for you.

My divinity is too great for such restrictions as laid down by those insects. I would perhaps be interested in acquiring the meat known as Michael Bay for my own purposes. His ability to numb the insects' minds would be of great service to my ambitions.

No, it won't be the Fallen, or Unicron, or anything that might be too big or abstract for what Hollywood sees as the "Average American" viewer.

It'll be Megatron, with some gimmick. Just accept it.


alright, you get a shiny ha' penny

QuoteReports are circulating that Megatron will return for the upcoming Michael-Bay directed sequel to "Transformers," but what is interesting is who brings him back and the form that Megatron will take.

As was previously reported, the titular Fallen refers to one of the original thirteen Transformers created by Primus. In established Transformers lore, the Fallen betrayed the god-like Primus by allying himself with the planet-devouring Unicron. The Fallen was eventually trapped between dimensions.

According to CHUD, Megatron might be "brought back by the Autobots, who need him to conquer the new menace. But I've learned that this time he won't be that weird alien jet. This time he's a tank."

We can all hope, but don't think you've been promised anything. The TF team is just stupid enough to promise something awesome and give you recycled shit.

However, if it is true, than that is kick ass.
