Awesome that they went with Saleen versions! SMG3er, those credits aren't all bad. John Rogers (The Core, Catwoman) is actually a great writer, with the movies he worked on getting banged up along the way courtesy of their studios. He did a KILLER Global Frequency pilot that didn't get picked up.

I found some Transformers fan fiction. http://72.14.209.104/search?q=cache:rsEnpZmmEYAJ:www.bwtf....

My guess is that just like in the first episode of the tv show -- Teletran One sends out it's little satellite thing to find earth-like forms for the Transformers to transform into in order to become "Robots in Disguise". Thus, they find the old beater Camaro and the Ford Crown Vic Police Interceptor and use those as the body-types to re-build them as -- just in the new forms of a Camaro concept and an 07 Saleen Mustang. But that's merely my guess.

How about Gilbert Godfrey and a tank of helium?

The biggest problem this movie will to deal with is scale. Megatron shrunk down to a gun that Starscream fired. Starscream was a jet that shrunk to the size of a robot the same size as Autobots, who transformed into comparably smaller vehicles, mostly cars. This is probably why most of what we see (so far) is on relatively the same scale. I hope I'm wrong and they have a way of getting around the scale issue. And if they use Starscream, they must get his shrill voice correct. I can still hear it in my head.

Ray: D'oh! Hey, I may have answered my own question about who gets the old Camaro: I bet Bumblebee starts off as that bondoed car, then something happens to him. (Gets rolled by the Deceptacon Mustang?) The Autobots manage to save him, but, much like Colonel Steve Austin, they have to rebuild him to do it. Thus, Bumblebee's new look, i.e. enter the new Camaro!

DT -- the Decepticons could be Saab's. Remember, they were born from jets. ;)

I can accept bumblebee being a camaro, decepticon cars, and other such stuff. I just NEED to know that optimus prime will be a RED flat nosed semi. I can't wait. I'll be there opening day.

the decepticons have taken over oklahoma, judging by the license plates on the cop car. i guess native american indians are destined to have people and robots fly in from elsewhere to take their lands. their god mother nature is apparently the Neville Chamberlain of deities.

Hey guys. Thoughts on decepticons also being cars would be how hard it would be to use jets. Plus bad cars/cops vs. good cars, camaros will rock. But what car would Megatron be?

My first thought was that they probably all start like that and get spiffy later.

It's my understanding that VW hasn't allowed Hasbro to make a Bumblebee action figure in years... because they don't want their products affiliated with war or violence. Hence using a Camaro instead of a New Beatle. Damnit, my inner-fanboy escpaed again! Back to your cage, damnit!

Holy crap, the camaro looks great in that colour scheme. Not many cars can get away with being, well.. yellow.

Zerin - if the studio didn't release them through normal channels -- then they're leaked.

I was really looking forward to a Transformers movie until I saw who's writing it. Their credits include: Catwoman, The Core, Star Trek XI, Mission Impissible 3, The Legend of Zorro, The Island, Hercules, and Xena.

What's with all of the people in the first pic, and the velvet rope? Also, these look a little weak... I mean, the graphics are just blah and they didn't even put any "seams" where the transforming parts would be. I'm really looking forward to the movie though...
