I've not seen him in trailers I don't think. But one trailer which I think I linked to already had a dog-like thing which I believe is meant to be one of Soundwave's pets.

Also some people say they've seen shots of a Bird with dreadlocks in one trailer (Razorbeak?).


Razorbeak ? its Laserbeak tongue LOL

and Dreadlocks ???????????? what ? He never had any.
This is becoming more of Bays Transfomers rather than an adaptaion from the sereis.

So far it looks great, much better than what I’ve seen up till now of G.I. Joe.

My bad, I could never understand Soundwave's voice properly tongue

Adaptations are just that, they are not meant to be literal copies they are interpretations using source material. No point in doing an exact copy.

No no no Richie, having faith to the orginal is not like making a carbon copy
but to do it in a way that it pleases fans and keep in tact with the story.

Bay is moving away he is changing so much in a point of ridicule
Its what you have mentined before that you didn't like about the film too much human scene not enough robot dialogue.
Thats just one of them.

others include Welker not doing Megatron voice (Which in my opion is the best still now)
and Optimus Prime removing his face-plate was one that got me annoyed.



As for soundwave being something else rather than a tape deck I'm ok with as it is changing time, like I accepted Starscream being a f22 than a f15 .

If bay wants go for a change i hope he uses his common sence.

Starscream is still a Jet fighter, the model of jet is hardly significant.

I'm not so bothered by voices as long as the characters seem and pretty much look like the original version. My problem with Megatron is that apart from his helmet style head he looked nothing like the comic/cartoon version, at least Optimus looks a lot like he should.

I think it should've been set on Cybertron at least for the first movie and moved to Earth for this one. That way humans would be limited or non-existant in ti. Problem is studios think actor face-time sells so they cram the big name stars into as much of the movie as possible. That is not neccessarily Bay's fault as he has limited control over what studios want.

Look at Spider-Man 3, almost the whole time Venom was in the movie he wasn't totally in Venom form. Why? Because the studios wanted Topher Grace to get as much face-time as possible. Never mind the fact that Venom is cool with his slober-mouth and teeth, Topher needs face-time so studios can make more money (or think they will).

Same thing with Ghost Rider, Cage spent too much time as himself and not enough as Ghost Rider because face-time was more important.

Whatever, I'm still hopeful for the outcome of the finished movie.

Who is Topher Grace anyway? confused Before Spiderman 3 I'd never heard of him.

Another reason why Ghost Rider flopped was because they didn't stay dark and made it humorous. Bad move for an anti-hero who turns into a flaming skeleton.

I can understand someone getting upset over a film adaption of a Classic Novel, long-running graphic novel or established live action series but it's a kid's cartoon isn't it?

A page and a half of threads on this and no one has even mentioned Megan Fox in hot pants, bending over a motorbike! I love her love

I enjoyed the first movie because it was a throw back to my younger years. While some elements were not great, the action was pretty good.
