First off, I'm going to ask you NOT to list ANY DECEPTICONS, as I'd like to wait and see how this thread goes before we broach that one.

 

This is a combination of "curiosity" and "I'm writing a story and I want to see which robots ought to be in it", but honestly it's also a big part "The robot characters are SOOO under utilized in ROTF, why didn't someone just ask us what we wanted to see done with them?" and on some level I hope someone important will read this thread and take note.

 

I ask you to keep your suggestions "In the vain of the Bayverse" so if you want to "mix it up a bit" with a particular character's personality you can, but keep "plot usefulness" in mind.

 

I am a G1 Fan, however and would honestly like to seek harmony between the bits of the movies that are awesome, and the awesomeness of G1 that should still be respected, so feel free to make suggestions.

 

I'll go first:

 

MAIN AUTOBOTS

 

OPTIMUS PRIME- Obviously not gonna change much. (though I'd like a good reason if he's gonna execute someone) He's the great compassionate leader and something of the Autobot's ambassador to the people of earth. He likes children.

 

BUMBLEBEE- Sam's faithful gaurdian and friend; he can speak now, but often forgets and just talks through his radio anyway. He's good friends with Arcee. He also likes Children.

 

ARCEE- The youngest, but most tactically intuitive of the three sisters. She strikes a good personality balance between serious and friendly, and perhaps could even be referred to as 'Spunky'. She likes people, but not as much as she likes making them indirectly uncomfortable about the fact that she's a robot, and a female robot at that. Her hobbies include drawing, and picking on Sideswipe for "Being unique among all Transformers in that he turns from a vehicle into a giant tool", but it's really all in good fun.

 

SIDESWIPE- One of the Autobots other than Prime to become something of a celebrity in the wake of The Fallen's "big international reveal". He gets to be in many commercials and is currently working with "Leo" on making a calender featuring pictures of himself in cool poses with attractive ladies in bikinis. (No wonder Arcee thinks him shallow...) However he still takes his job as an Autobot warrior quite seriously, and for the most part fame hasn't gone to his head. (Much).

 

WHEELJACK- (I think he should be voiced by Hugh Laurie) General all around "Genius/Loony/Inventor/Wizard guy"; whether it's making coffee makers that look like bombs, or bombs that look like toasters, he's got it covered. Generally a little bit spacey and very eccentric, most Autobots would rather square off with Megatron than enter his lab, due to his penchant for blowing himself up. Was once a pupil of Shockwave's and gets to have the honor of finding the location of the Dinobots. Rumored to be indestructible after his last experiment involving converting fruit into organic TNT.

 

PROWL- Head of an elite new police organization, created to deal with the new eventuality of "Transformer Crime". While Prime's team is military in nature, Prowl's is about "Law enforcement", and Autobots such as Beachcomber, Brawn, and Gears could be some of his "Officers" (undercover or other-wise) along with a large force of human officers as well. Prowl also has the ability to issue orders to members of Prime's team who are "on leave". Often Bumblebee, Arcee, and a handful of the other Transformers trying to maintain a new "Civilian" life are called on by him, much to their annoyance.

Perhaps he could be voiced by someone like Jean Reno...

 

DINOBOTS- Five legendary warriors of the Temple of Primus, (in the vain of Hercules and other mythological heroes) who supposedly went off in a ship called The Ark on some kind of mysterious quest. (This is not entirely accurate, years of passing the tale down from generation to generation have garbled it far beyond its original truth, but THEY were REAL.) Have been 'sleeping' millions of years for the time when they will be needed to help save the Earth. They appear in lieu of the Bots having a Gestalt team. I actually think that for a change, instead of their terrible grammar being attributed to some kind of stupidity or speech impediment, it should be the result of their heavy broken-english/ancient cybertronian accents. They probably sound a little Russian.

 

SECONDARY AUTOBOTS

 

CHROMIA- The serious sister, watches Iron Hide's back and assists with keeping the team's psychological Morale up. In her free time she likes to make Metal Sculptures.

 

IRON HIDE- Prime's right hand man, and responsible for the keeping the team up to peak combat condition, and managing the team when Prime is away. Lately has been having 'dreams' about a planet that eats everything in it's path. Weird.

 

MOONRACER(?)- The friendly sister. has been serving as Mikaela's guardian since Arcee and Mikaela had a "disagreement". Likes to cook for some reason.

 

SUNSTREAKER- If he's in it, he should be Sideswipe's (slightly vain) mostly laid-back, spaced out, 'kinda surfer' talking Brother. His and Sideswipe's relationship would replace the "Twins" from ROTF, with Arcee occasionally 'assisting' with the bickering. He calls Bumblebee "Bumble-Bro".

 

And all the other Autobots are just supporting cast, appearing in 'water cooler' sequences and other appropriate but not spotlight type scenes.

 

Did you like that? I'd love to know! Like I said, I think I am going to write a story of my own, so I'm trying to get ideas.

 

Now... it's YOUR turn!. :D

Since they did Devastator, I want to see them try with a bigger Autobot. Perhaps Omega Supreme??

I'd like to see Sunstreaker as well, along with Sideswipe.

 

Wheeljack would be nice. Prowl should be in it and have a duke out with Baricade :)

 

Omega Surpreme would be cool but they would probably have to do him differently.

Omega supreme... hmmm... is it Omega Supreme that we want or just an Autobot THAT HUGE?

 

Because I was thinking, if we have the Dinobots, and they are all to scale with the dinos they copied the form of several million years ago, then Sludge would be MONSTEROUS.

Remember the scene in Jurassic Park where we see the Brontosaurus for the first time? Imagine that turning into a Transformer...

 

Though now that I think about it, that still wouldn't be OMEGA SUPREME HUGE... grumble grumble....

I'd like to see Optimus Prime, Jazz, Ratchet, Ironhide and Bumblebee... you know the REAL ones, not those stupid Bayformers we saw in the last 2 films.

Get over it already,. These movies have grossed over a Billion dollars together. These are the "REAL" ones. They are not going to change a thing.

 

I'd like to see Mirage show up. Have him be a pacifist on the Autobots side, who Ironhide doesn't trust. This could add some sense of characterization for part 3. Oh wait, its Transformers, characterization be damned.

Hey Bisons Fan, I was asked an opinion as to what I want to see, and I gave it. It was a fair answer. I want to see the TFs portrayed the way I liked watching them for 25 years, not the way Bay did them for 2 movies.

The OP was asking what Autobots we want to see in TF3. he wasn't asking for people to :deadhorse Being that this movie is based in the "Bay" universe, the possibility of you getting the Autobots the way you want them is close to zero, why even bring up an argument that is over 2 years old?

Omega supreme... hmmm... is it Omega Supreme that we want or just an Autobot THAT HUGE?

I named OS because I couldn't think of another. But maybe they could do a combiner team too. Like Superion maybe :tfgrin

I like the idea of Omega. I think TF3 should take a page out of Animated and bring in Omega Supreme as an Autobot Space Ship (the Ark) which brings more Autobots to Earth, Hot Rod, Prowl, Alpha Trion.
