Those are not the ones they will be using for the movie. they won't be using that new age "Transformers Armada" crap. This movie is going to be old school, Generation 1, 80s style all the way. can you dig it?!?

I've been recently (April 29, '06) researching the TF live action movie, and it seems there may be some disappointments headed our way.

1.George Clooney will voice Optimus, rather than my preference, Peter Cullen of the original series. That kills me. I can actually handle even my beloved Megatron having a different voice, but not OPTIMUS.

2.There will (it seems) be only FIVE (yes, 5!!!) total transformers!!! I'll gut myself if that is true.

3.Soundwave and perhaps other transformers will be transforming into things they never were. As example, Soundwave will be transforming into a HELICOPTER, or so it is said.

I doubt there is anyone that has as much nostalgia and love of the Transformers than myself, but this news is horribly disappointing to me. I DEARLY HOPE that this information is in error.

From the post above...

One thing I can confirm, straight from Bay's mouth (and this is something he wanted the fans to know) is that he is going to audition the original voice actors for the Autobots and Decepticons. He said it's no guarantee they'll get cast, but he's going to give them a listen. His main fear is that the actors have aged since the cartoon and that age may be noticeable in their voices.

In short... Since there is very little know, treat all info as rumour.

only 5 would seriously suck, that makes it 2.5 robots per side lol, ok, Optimus and a buddy, and Megatron and a buddy, haha. that's not really funny, that's damn sad.

I absolutely LOVE every Micheal Bay movie because I go to see girls, guns, and explosions and it just gets better every time. It's like when you tell your friend - "wouldn't it be cool if...." and then it happens onscreen. Cares flipping over, helicopters, Ferrari chasing a Humvee (geez!), plasma bombs, sarin gas, etc

If Clooney is Optimus I'm sure he'll say things like "Our planet has long ago learned that dependence on oil is bad, that is why Transformers run on the Hydrogen Matrix" or "Us Transformers don't like Bush" haha
