No Galvatron until Transformers 3.
SPOILERS
We didn't see enough of Megatron overall, and I want to see him and Starscream banter against each other. My feelings are that the all-spark can prehaps keep him alive because it gives life.
Prehaps Unicron could come into the sequel, right after Autobot refuges from across the cosmos flee his power, after Starscream and his new Decepticon army join Megatron on earth.
For new Autobots; Acree, Dinobots and Hotrod.
For new Decepticons: Laserbeak, Shockwave, Thunderwing.
Also, how about a little more character backstory from the main human cast. No more military, simply Sam and co.

I'm not sure exactly what you're asking, but in the live-action movie recently released, Megatron is simply a Cybertronian jet. Never a 'gun'. He has some sort of needle phaser, but doesn't turn into a a gun.
In the 80's animated film, Megatron was a gun at first, but Unicron turned him into Galvatron. Galvatron then could turn into a cannon of some sort. Never a plane though, because he'd ride in his fellow Decepticon fighter jets.

Depends if they go with cartoon continuity or follow the lore of the comic.
Shockwave and Megatron HATED each other in the comic.
But the Soundwave being loyal while Starscream seeks always to supplant Megs was still there.

The military played an important role in the film, they would have to be included in the sequel.
To a lesser precious-screentime-stealing/wasting extent though, hopefully.
Lets face it. Half the movie was like an E3 weapons trade exhibition... 🙁
A total thinly-veiled recruitment drive propaganda piece ("NO SACRIFICE...NO VICTORY!"😉 that cost so much in terms of TF time. If I want a full on military drama, I'll watch Black Hawk Down or something, thank you very much, Mr.Bay. The forces of course would get involved in a situation involving giant alien robots suddenly turning up, but a whole backstory for half the movie nearly? C'mon......
And the second hand ID4 signal plotline, while admittedly neccessary to the plot, also spent too much time on 1 dimensional characters that themselves didn't really enrich the movie any. They could've halved the screen time right there.

Guys, as much as i would love to see the constructicons in action, they allready covered that by naming the tank devestator. If they do bring in the constructicons, then the story might get flawed, which also means they could go in a completely different direction than the cartoon story line. Just a bit of thought. I have heard that cliff jumper will be introduced, using the new firebird as a platform to promote as well, and the possibility of soundwave. Luckily the transformers line has plenty of well known characters that can fill the void for good and bad.
I think that was a mistake, on all the toys hes called "brawl" was he was called in gen 1 as a tank

Yeah but when Starscream put out the call for the deceps to rally, he was officially referred too by name as Devastator in the bayfilm..... But hopefully they'll realize that it would be much smarter to change that subtitle on the DVDs.
But that'd take Bay admitting that he is capable to making mistakes....
And I cant see that happening... 😛

yeah, Bay thought it would be gay if Megatron, the ultimate bad guy, the harvester of death, the one they all fear...etc, was a magical shrinking robot that just turned into a gun that his subordinates could wield.
Well a lot of fans thought it would be gay if Michael Bay, the ultimate in shallow and soulessness were to be given creative control of the content and design of the characters to the extent that they turned Megatron into a metallic christmas tree looking thing that converts into a totally forgettable and generic sub-batman design department garbage...
And they were right.
Everyone remembers the mech leader who became gun after 20 years.
I, for one ain't gonna be able to recall the lines and shape of this new baycorp thing unaided in five years.
Besides:
Megatron as a Walther P-38= Totally tough bastard who it took at least 2 series and 70 odd comics to beat up bad enough for him to be turned into the even harder and more psychotic Galvatron. (And even then it was in a story set 20 yrs in the then future and megs was kicking ass for a couple of hundred more issues!!!!)
"Megatron"/"Jet"= Totally a pussy who it took 5 mins of screentime, some humans with a few fancy bullets and a small boy with a f***in rubik's cube to kill.
Need I say more?
Vote G1. 😛
