Oh my god, I'm so excited!!! I'm a really big Transformers fan. Plus the huge thing is that they are making it live action with CGI robots. People would rather see a live action movie than a cartoon. Thats probably why the original movie didn't do that good. This is going to be a big action blockbuster movie. Maybe it will turn into a trilogy(Star Wars Prequels, Jurassik Park, The Matrix, Spiderman, Terminator,
X-Men)
I cant wait this film is gonna rock!!
And it damm well better have the theme tune....or else

I: Why not?
Withnail: Alright. what's his number?
I: I've no idea - I've never met him.
Withnail: Well neither have I. What the **** are you talking about?
I think what they would do and what is best for the series is to start all over again. Just like Spider-Man and X-Men. Tell the tale from the beginning where the Autobots and Decepticons crash onto Earth, start a war and then go from there with whatever kind of wild script they cook up. It makes it less confusing and would get all new fans to the shows. I wouldn't like it if I had no knowledge of Transformer history and when I watched the movie, I was expected to know it or I just won't understand anything thats going on. Starting over is the best thing for the series. Plus the continuity is getting kind of messed up. What I mean is that Transformers, Beast Wars, and Beast Machines were all part of the same continuity. But then they put in the Japanese made cartoon Robots in Disguise which had nothing to do with continuity. It was like an alternate universe which is not good at all. They had something very good going and then they just destroy it with crappy shows. They also made Transformers Armada next which I think is crappy. They also need to take their time and do it right. Maybe it could be out in 2006 which is Transformers The Movie's 20th anniversary.
I like the idea of having the next movie start from the very beginning. I too think it would be less confusing to someone who may not know much or anything about the Transformers universe. Especially if it's going to be live action. I'm definitely psyched to go see it. I don't know if I could wait until 2006 though.

Yeah, they need to take their time and do it right. Transformers fans, like myself, have waited this long we can wait a little longer. I hope they stay as true as they can to the transformers' storyline. Man, I can't wait!!

I'm just worried about the ending though. Usually the bad guy dies in the movie. I don't want Megatron to die. They should do what they did in X-Men 1 and 2. Magneto didn't die in either movies. They need to find a way around death. They better not turn him into Galvatron either, I don't like him. Megatron is supposed to be Megatron, no other.
not really a fan of the Transformers...watched it a few times..but the idea of a live action movie sounds like it could be great...i mean who doesnt want to see big, really good CGI robots fighting each other...with a plot even...that just makes me dizzy
How they would make a "live action" movie out of animated characters is beyond me. It will be like the new pitiful Star Wars movies, Human actors acting with CGI characters.
Besides, who really wants a Transformers movie, aside from old school fans maybe? Sounds like as big a mistake as making a Garfield movie.
These things were only cool way back when for a reason.
i dont care what is going to happen with this movie, either it will be killer or just suck. and i am happy that Michael Bay is going to direct it. he should do an amazing job. and i agree with eleveninches, galvatrons story is the best idea in the whole transformers universe. well next to old scool beastwars.
its sciFi with lots of action ... that by itself will draw people ... then the old school fans of course.... i think it would make a shit ton of money .. dont see how it is a bad decision
