Much as I liked the first film, its huge glaring flaw as a giant robot movie was the stupid number of subplots. I think they've decided that the solution was to swap out each subplot for some gimmicky popular robot or an idea out of a hat involving robots and I think it's going to be a bit piecemeal. I mean, this is how it works in my head:

Soundwave will show up and use a Cylon to bring Megatron back to life but then Starscream's Decepticon army will appear and attack Optimus Prime and then Arcee saves him by surprise but then oh no there's ice cream trucks and they hail the Constructicons who are really working for The Fallen and then they turn into Devestator but a robotic dog appears and takes the Allspark.

And that's before we deal with the human subplots. What about Sam's life at college? It's either going to run to 437 minutes or each character's going to get eight seconds of screen time.

I imagine that the first half of the movie will just be the autobots and decepticons fighting each other with megatron being resurrected then about halfway through the real enemy shows up and they both have to team up to defeat something that is not only a threat to earth but a threat to them as well. Sam will be like the human characters in the cartoon movie, stuck right bang in the middle but less important this time out.

Well if the rumours that that potential in the next film (if they make it)

they have unicron in there

it would kind of fit due to his back story. That's all just speculation at the moment though as no one really knows how he'll fit in to this film. One of the producers apparently has said that

he'd like to try and include Unicron because he thinks that in terms of scale it would be amazing. I agree, but I think that it would be a nightmare to get right.

I would love to see it if they could though.

I seem to remember Speilberg saying that he wanted this to be a huge franchise with at least 5 movies, whether or not Bay would direct the lot is another thing (I doubt it). He will be in one of the future films but I hope he will appear in more than one.

I'm going to respectfully request that the haters stay away from this thread and take the negativity somewhere else. We get you think it looks a mess, we get that it's not like G1, and we get that Michael Bay probably needs a jolly good kicking to get his head out of his arse, but please pleas please leave us to our :)
