Botcon '05: Transformers release date moved

Botcon 2005 also release some new information in regards to the live action movie and some old in regards to cuts made to the animated movie way back when. In current movie news, sadly we have to wait our live action fix as the release date has been moved from July 4th 2006 to Thanksgiving 2006 and now they have staked out July 4th 2007. Yet, thats a 7. So just a touch under two years assuming they get a script anytime soon that they like. This also would make current casting choices difficult as a star maybe A list now but this time next year could be on the C list. On top of that, it wouldn't suprise me if this effects Michael Bay as director.

Also revealed was some cuts made to the initial script including how the Devastator was defeated in the Battle for Autobot City (where Optimus died) and that Galvatron played a part in Ultra Magnus's "death".
