MTV discussed Transformers 2 with script writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman. Sadly the interview pretty much confirms what we all knew was probably the case - no Dinobots. "We couldn’t quite figure out how to justify a robot that would pretend to be a dinosaur" Orci said.
When asked about the return of Megatron, Orci responded "That would be silly" suggesting maybe the "Fallen" is not Megs as many believe. Of course this could just them having fun with providing a little misinformation and hiding plans that they plan on the "silly" return of Megatron.
They also revealed the theme of the sequel. Where the first is about a boy and his car, the second according to Orci is "It’s about being away from home. It’s a few years later and Sam is going to finally go to college and he’s going to face being away from home just as the Autobots are having to deal with being away from Cybertron."
"Oh, and what about that title? Why “Revenge of the Fallen”? Orci deadpanned, “Because ‘Transformers 2′ sounds stupid.”"

The thing that pissed me off is why did they have to kill off Megatron? Stupid move. I think they should kill Starscream. Maybe Megatron do that. But then again if you think about it though, Megatron would have no motive to do that.
ReplyDeleteI'm kind of lost on who the "fallen" is. Something tells me this sequel will blow
couple of things here....first off, I'm glad there's no dinobots in this film. You wouldn't be able to explain their dino modes! They would be bigger than megatron and prime and where the hell would they hide at as giant robot dinosaurs. 2nd...Megatron HAS to be in the film. You can't have tranformers without megatron....Thats like star wars without Darth vader. very hard to believe they would make 2 more films without needing megatron's influence. "at the end of this day..one shall stand...one shall FALL" Megatron "fell" This is his "Revenge"
ReplyDeleteI think Orci is just pulling our chains. I mean... so much has been done to keep the plot a secret! For him to give any indication that Megatron was the "fallen"..would just clear all of the speculation surrounding the title of the movie, and it would be pretty much predictable from that point on! Strategic move by Orci!
ReplyDeleteIf you read the quotes about Megatron it was clear they were joking and being coy about it. " Didn't he thrown to the bottom of the ocean?" Kurtzman laughed. "That would be silly." He'll be back and he'll eat your children.
ReplyDeleteLOL..like Mike Tyson lmao!
ReplyDeleteI had a feeling that the Dinobots WOULD NOT BE in the second film, for the exact same reason that Orci and Kurtzman stated: the inplausibility of their filmic existence.
ReplyDeleteI'm not really that upset about it, though, I don't totally agree with how the producers and writers justify some of their points.
when are they gonna show footage!
ReplyDeleteIts funny to see most of you say the same thing about Megatron on his return in the next film, but if you spent the time and read the comic books, there is so many MORE powerful/evil Decepitcons that could bring the move to a diffrent level but yet stay with in the story lines.. All i ask you is keep a open mind and trust that Michael Bay wont disapoint us!!!
ReplyDeleteI sure hope the movie makers know what they're doing...
ReplyDeleteNo Dinobots = FAIL!
No Megatron = EPIC FAIL!
The no Megatron statement is pretty silly and clearly shows that they are joking and making a fool of everyone on the movie title.
ReplyDeleteTo me it seems obvious that Megatron will turn into Galvatron.. which would clearly mean that there will be no Megatron technically in the movie but even no The Fallen character because that's just referred to Megatron/Galvatron.... and that's it.
Jeeez, just make them dYnabots, give them military alt modes, and voila! Was it so hard to do this? Just like in War Within, but witch earth military alt modes...
ReplyDeleteI think the Fallen is Jetfire (SR-71). It would fit his original story and the leaks we've seen so far. Why doesn't anyone look into that possibility?
ReplyDeleteAlso, Dinobots would be very silly. I'm glad they're skipping them.
As far as Megs is concerned, a re-incarnation under a different name is definitely not out of the question.
Or they could be "Dyno"bots. And they could be souped up cars...maybe vintage muscle cars or some high end speedsters. As for "The Fallen"....that could mean more than just one decepticon. It can be singular or plural. It could mean the decepticons as a whole.
ReplyDeleteI agree..
ReplyDeleteno dinobots - Fail
no Megs - uber Fail
Galvatron and Hot Rod were crap.
I hope they don't go that direction.
not yet anyhew.
Galvatron won't be a mistake at all.
ReplyDeleteDinobots are not necessary if there is the huge Devastator created by the combination of Constructicons in the movie. I doubt the could be Metroplex or other huge Transformers in this movie, but Devastator it's highly likely because the Decepticons are going to get revenge, attacking Earth at full force and the Autobots will get smashed and Optimus Prime will probably have to sacrifice himself in order to kill Devastator along with Galvatron....
IDW has already laid out how there could be Dinobots on a modern day Earth.
ReplyDeleteSee Transformers Spotlight: Shockwave.
The way they do it makes perfect sense.
I agree..
ReplyDeleteno dinobots - Fail
no Megs - uber Fail
People who keeping saying "Fail" in their comments = Fail
And did you guys pay attention to the way Bay approached the first TF film? Try using common sense and figure out WHY having robots that transform into long-extinct animals wouldn't fit with Bay's depiction of the TF world
"Try using common sense and figure out WHY having robots that transform into long-extinct animals wouldn't fit with Bay's depiction of the TF world"
ReplyDeletelogic fail within a logic fail.
Robots that change shape from an alien world that have names like Bumblebee aren't the epitome of common sense.
We like what we like.
I like Dinobots. I do not like Galvatron, Hot Rod, Kup, Wheelie, Arcee and Blurr.
Get over it.
How about you open your mouth with comments after the movie is finished and you've seen it instead of you opening it now and nothing but stupid comes out. I hate people who b!tch and complain about movies before they are even finished shooting. So STFU!
ReplyDeleteYou guys fight over the stupidest shit
ReplyDeletefuck
anybody ever think that the sign posted may hold a clue to what might be happening in the film?
fuckin tards spend so much time with sand in your vagina's that you don't bother trying to figure shit out yous stupid fucking tards
all of you butt hurt fuck tards = FAILURE!!!!!
lol calm down man, these people probly overreacted over what they have read.

ReplyDeleteHey !
ReplyDeleteTransormers do not speak our language, and when they come to earth they speak what they've learned from our www. That's why they find name as "Bumblebee" and "Ratchet" instead of "shrwwxzsff" or "WreerZwholzz" (remember decepticans talking)
Maybe because of the colour or the noise or whatever.
And for Dinobots here's the way to have one in the movie: A stupid deceptican crashlands,in protoform, in a History Museum, and scanns one of the fake Dinosaurs standing there for his alternate mode...
It would be funny...
Ugh...no it would be stupid! Thank you Michael Bay for not being stupid and putting those things in.
ReplyDeleteWell, right, it would be stupid. But Dinobots fans would be happy...
ReplyDeleteWe like what we like.
ReplyDeleteI like Dinobots. I do not like Galvatron, Hot Rod, Kup, Wheelie, Arcee and Blurr.
Get over it.
HAHAHAHAHA! Michael Bay is directing the movie, NOT YOU. He likes what he likes...and that's not Dinobots. And HE has the power to decide what he wants to put in the movie, NOT YOU.
Get over THAT. :D
Well, right, it would be stupid. But Dinobots fans would be happy...
Dinobot fans are useless.
Grimlock bite your smelly ass.
ReplyDeleteIf Dinobots fans are useless, than automaticly any other fans are useless to... Idiot...
ReplyDeleteAnybody else see that BotCon Script Reading "Bee in the City" where Sari says, and I quote, "It's not like I'm some hyper-advanced, human-like robot my dad made or anything. That's silly."
ReplyDeleteThere are always possible explanations for dinobots: from test models to robots who fell to earth 65 million years ago, to whatever. However, they clearly don't match the style of Bay's transformers.
ReplyDeleteThe first movie was about civil cars against military/police vehicles. It's sleek against strong, the kind of cool fight that Bay wants. Dinobots, on the other side, are slow, dumb and old, and could draw a lot of comparisons with Jurassic Park - something that neither the director or the producer need.
Bay hasn't directed trilogies before, but i trust Orci et al. I'm sure he'll come out with something cool and bigger this time. My bet is on Prime dying.
If Dinobots fans are useless, than automaticly any other fans are useless to... Idiot...
ReplyDeleteSo says the Polish guy... ;)
I just wanted to say, that his logic is stupid... Jeez, do i realy have to explain everything? How old are you, five...?
ReplyDeleteWas that aimed at me? How many Polaks does it take to play with a Transformer toy? ANSWER: 4...
ReplyDelete-One to buy the Transformer from the store
-Another to take it out of the package
-The other to begin transforming the toy
And the last one to super-glue the figure back together after the third Polak breaks it. :)
Sigh... Don't realy understand, why are you so sarcastic. But fine, i Don't realy care what some anonymous jerk says.
ReplyDeleteMan you're a stupid jerk.
ReplyDeleteWhy laugh about polish people, you racist dumb. You voted Bush, didn,t you?
This is a TRANSFORMERS forum, TF are toys, comics, movies, and so on:
Here's not a place to spread your senile unuseless word around.
Hope a dinobot will eat you...
