About the general outline:

 

I want to point out again- if ALL we wanted were robots smasking **** we would be doing this all CGI or mo cap or 2D.

This is going to be an event LIVE ACTION film in which HUMANS are a significant component.

 

About the main characters:

 

There will be several human characters.

And several Autobots.

And several Decepticons.

 

Thus only a FEW of each will get screen time to be fully developed.

They all could appear, but like Wolverine, only a few will be prominent.

 

About the number of main characters (the old "seven main characters for both sides" comment):

 

7 is still in play, but again, number 7 might have minmal emphasis- think Iceman in part 1/

 

About the human factor:

 

In Star Wars, even the crappy new ones, the CG characters interact with the humanoids. Go ahead call me wrong. I'm not. If it were just creatures fighting creatures in the arena of Clones, who cares? But our heroes who are just like us might buy the farm- that's tense.

 

Tell me ANY live action films where the CGI characterS were the MAIN, PREDOMINANT roles in the film.

 

I can't think of any. Cause that isn't what live action IS.

 

Did you read the Dreamwave reboot volume one? Now before we get three threads of guesses, we are NOT following that story. But the humans are crucial to that story. Read it.

 

About the origin of the Transformers:

 

They come from Cybertron

They are not man made

They are here because we have the matrix (probably can't call it that anymore)

Most plot leaks ever AWESUM

on a side note, if the TF's aren't the main predominant characters.. F this film

here is a good question,

if we have the matrix, then is Optimus, PRIME?

WTF??!! WE have the Matrix?? :wtf :eek WTF WTF WTF???!!!!!

WTF??!! WE have the Matrix?? :wtf :eek WTF WTF WTF???!!!!!

My reaction as well.

I know this is far off from Transformers but Garfield was the prominent star of his movie. He had tons of screen time, way more than any human character.

 

This movie is called Transformers, so why shouldn't they have more screen time then the droids in Star Wars or the Dinosaurs in Jurasic Park?

 

I'm going to stop reading any more preproduction info cause it's pissing me off.

If I have to stare at a couple of idiots for 2 hours, they better be good.

 

So, with that said, who are the actors?

Watch the Matrix be some stupid human-created THING that we share with the Autobots to make them fight better or something lame like that :roll :fire
