Theories Of Transformers 2

Possibly option 2.

The writers dumped the ark idea because they couldn't see why aliens that moonlighted as vehicles would need a ship to travel through space.

Just three reasons I can think of are:

1) To conserve energy/fuel.
2) To avoid slamming into planets at thousands of miles per hour.
3) The autobots had somewhere to hang out.

Technically the novelisation apparently re-introduced the ark. The 'meteor' forms are just for short travel.

edit

I see...

They may possibly introduce Shockwave in TF2. He appeared in the game, and was done pretty well actually. He still pretty much had his G1 look, except he was a triple-changer, turning into a ground-cannon (think Galvatron's form), a robot, and a Helicopter.

Then again Spider-Man fans have been waiting for the Lizard for years now, so we might not get what we want unless we threaten Bay some more! Lol.

By the way, I heard that the Concept Art Prime looked nothing like the final, movie Prime. Anyone got Concept Art pics? Cus I'm curious now.

Concept Art Prime looks alot like a skeletal tin man... yeah...

optimus actually looks like a Gundam here

Thanks, I checked 'em out. And for Prime's sake, that Starscream ruled. But the Port-o-potty Transformer was just wrong..horribly wrong.

Optimus' Gundam face does look really sweet in that pic though.

really?

i thought Starscream looked like a bad guy from Power Rangers in that pic 😕

He looked unrealistic. Face it, the TF's that appeared in the film were highly believable, despite the whole moving lips thing.

Yeah I know. I actually walked out of the theatre and could imagine my pick-up transforming. And the movie lips were cool, but I thought that Bay said they couldn't get the animation right for Prime's faceplate to move up and down, but I see it move when he talks to Megatron in their battle.

Yep, they're so full of shit.

I hated the lips/mouth thing.
If really they couldn't animate a simple face plate, then they have no business being and fx company.

Well all credit goes to the FX guys for the visual.
But the only designs I liked, personally, were Prime and Bumblebee.
So top marks for quality of rendering, I just seperate that from the designs though, which Bay was responsible, in part for..

I thought they did a good job on Starscream and barricade. I know Starscream looks nothing like G1, but it's not supposed to resemble G1, the flick was it's own sotryline.
