Orci Comments On TF 2

Roberto Orci, one of the writers of Transformers 2, popped into Don Murphy's message board and briefly posted a few comments:

So we got back to work this week and we find out Bay and production has been prepping the entire movie off of our pre-strike outline! The very one we turned in the night before the strike.

We had two weeks on the outline. We're still going through the prep schedule to find out what has been prepped so far down the road that it can be changed and what can't.

[Bay] essentially transferred our outline into screenplay format and came up with some really fun gags and a few descriptions of the kind of hardware he will need for production.

Also when asked if the robots would have lot of screen time, he said "You bet your ass." To sum - the writers' are back to work. (source)
