| That is absolutely great. I have fond memories from eating mushrooms and making a point to watch transformers as it completely tripped you out. Two questions always came to mind. 1. What do transformers do when they are not fighting?? Do they ever sleep?? and 2. Wouldn't it suck to only be able to transform into something completely ty like a train?? |

That's a pretty kick-ass list of movies imo. I honestly don't think they could've picked anyone better than Michael Bay for this. |

i don't understand why people dislike michael bay, i like all the movies in this list, and also really enjoyed pearl harbor (especially han zimmer's score)
if he does for transformers what he did for the island, this should be an awesome flick. |

[edit] Autobots
All of the Autobots are based character wise on their Generation One incarnations, despite modern interpretations of their alternate modes: in particular, all of the following except Optimus Prime are now GM-owned vehicle lines, although they were not originally.
Optimus Prime (Kenworth) - Orci described Optimus as a noble king, similar to King Arthur.[33] His robot mode contains an arm cannon, and a retractable faceplate, similar to Optimus Primal from the Beast Wars series and the Transformers: Cybertron incarnation of Prime.[34] His alternate mode, which has red flame artwork upon blue paint, is a close match to one of the Generation 2 Optimus Prime toys, and two versions were built.[35] Lorenzo DiBonaventura said that Optimus is scaled to be 9.7m (32 feet) in robot form, and a semi in vehicle form.[36] However, Michael Bay has said Optimus is 8.5m (28 feet) tall.[37] A blue version of Optimus' head with motion capture points was used.[38]
Bumblebee (1979 Chevrolet Camaro, later reformatted as a 2008-2009 Chevrolet Camaro[39]) - Bumblebee is the underdog character and a scout for the Autobots, as well as the Transformer most connected to humans.[33] He ends up being purchased by Spike Witwicky, who is looking to buy his first car. His robot mode has been constructed as a physical prop in addition to a CG model.[40] Bumblebee is 5.1m (17 feet) tall.[37] Bumblebee's arsenal includes an arm cannon and shoulder missiles.[41]
Ironhide (GMC Kodiak pickup truck[42]) - Ironhide is one of Optimus' oldest friends, and has some cowboy characteristics, being the first in battle.[33] While Ironhide was a van in G1, he was a truck in the Transformers: Robots in Disguise series from Japan. Ironhide will be 7.9m (26 feet) tall.[37]
Jazz (Pontiac Solstice[43]) - Jazz is a "rock-and-roll" type character who lives by his credo of "If you can’t do something with style, it’s not worth doing at all."[33] He will be 4.6m (15 feet) tall.[37] He has pronounced antennae on his head, and is either holding a gun in his left hand, or has a gun barrel in place of his left hand.[44] Another picture of him features fingers, although this may be art for the IDW comic adaptation of the film.[45]
Ratchet (Search & Rescue vehicle based on the Humvee design[46]) - Ratchet's role in the movie is that of Autobot medic,[33] and is 7.3m (24 feet) tall.[37] His robot mode lacks the head fins seen in the traditional animated version of the character.[47]
[edit] Decepticons
The Decepticons have a mix of characters from the various incarnations of Transformers.
Megatron (Cybertronian alternate mode confirmed in leaked photos to be an "Alien Jet") - Megatron will be presented with some backstory regarding the cause of his war.[33] He dwarfs the Autobots at 10.3m (34 feet) tall.[37] Images of Megatron's original Cybertronian form were leaked on the 24 August 2006,[48] and poor fan reaction prompted a head redesign.[49] Tom DeSanto has said Megatron will assume an Earth form, though it remains unclear what it is.[50] It is likely to be some sort of jet similar to Starscream. A model of Megatron's legs were built for the film.[51]
Starscream (F-22 Raptor) - Starscream is described as always looking to best Megatron; Megatron's traditional disdain for Starscream, and vice-versa, will remain intact.[33] Starscream leads the Decepticons in Megatron's absence,[32] and is roughly 32 feet (9.7 metres) tall.[44]
Brawl (Tank) Although original reports suggested that this character would be named "Devastator", it was specifically cited that this was an example of a character whose name was not finalized.[22] Confirmed as "Brawl", his triple-barreled turret and a "pissed off" personality evokes the Combaticon of the same name.[33] Within the leaked pre-visualization picture containing Jazz, Brawl's robot mode can be seen on Bumblebee's right.[44]
Blackout (MH-53 Pave Low[52]) - A Special Ops helicopter. At one point he was called Vortex as well as Incinerator on concept art.[53] His name is used by a helicopter Decepticon in the recent Transformers: Energon toyline--though the name also has G1 roots), and he can disable enemies with EMP-like blasts.[33] Blackout's feet were built as props.[54]
Scorponok (Mechanical Scorpion) - Scorponok will be the closest to his Beast Wars incarnation character wise, as well as an example of animal Transformers such as the Dinobots.[33]
Bonecrusher (Buffalo H Mine-Protected Vehicle) - Bonecrusher's name was confirmed early on when a photo of a military mine-clearing vehicle with the name tampographed onto it was leaked early on. Subservient to Megatron, he is described as being the closest to a Constructicon as could be in the movie.[33]
Barricade (Saleen-modified Ford Mustang Police car) - Barricade is the Decepticon scout/hunter, hiding among the humans disguised as a symbol of authority.[33] He clashes with Bumblebee at one point. In the toy version of Barricade, his grille transforms into a smaller robot, speculated to be frenzy.[55]
Frenzy (Alt. mode currently unknown; rumored to be a boombox) - Originally scripted to be Soundwave, he was supposed to be a boombox that transformed into a human-sized robot.[33] The character was renamed Frenzy in homage to the G1 character who was a minion of Soundwave. His role in the film is that of a spy among humans for the Decepticons, using his alternate mode as a disguise. In the toy version of Barricade, his grill transforms into Frenzy.[56]

lol yeah i figured they'd upgrade a couple to some present day vehicles .. i think Starstream as an F-22 is probably a lot more dangerous than an F-15 ...
it's too bad the guy who did his voice is dead :(
