Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman explain why Cybertron is in, Soundwave is out.
This is a good interview with the writers of the Transformers movie. They seem to really dig the content and show genuine excitement about the movie and the characters.
P.S. MTV’s flash website is a piece of crap.
MTV: How much sleep do you lose thinking about making a film that serves die-hard fans and non-fans alike?
Orci: We definitely worry about it. The last thing we want to do is to be accused of raping anyone’s childhood.

“Orci: We definitely worry about it. The last thing we want to do is to be accused of raping anyone’s childhood.”
TOO LATE
“Orci: We definitely worry about it. The last thing we want to do is to be accused of raping anyone’s childhood.”
You didn’t rape my childhood, you destroyed it, you tool..!! If you don’t wanna be accused of such misdaminours, why didn’t you consult the real fans on how to portray the story and indeed how to make the film.. And with your remarks on soundwave, have you ever watched an episode of G1 transformers?? It’s obvious you haven’t, because soundwave was a big part of the whole good vs evil war.. Where do you think lazerbeak came from, hmmm, from megatrons ass..??
“Kurtzman: Soundwave was a tough one. And Ravage was in an early draft.”
If ravage was in an early draft, as you say, then where do you think ravage came from?? He was a cassatte, much like rumble and lazerbeak, which means that soundwave had to have been in the movie, otherwise the whole ravage concept wouldn’t work without the deck.. Now would it??
You and Orci seriously need to go back in time and watch the whole G1, so you understand what the transformers universe is all about, rather then changing everything around to suite you, so you get your paychecks at the end of the day..
They say that Soundwave will play a large part in future movies. That will be cool!
Well i hope so, lets hope soundwave looks like the G1 tape deck and not something totally different like an iPod or a 6 cd stacker for example..
Having said that, if they are thinking of bringing in soundwave for future movies, hopefully they will not neglect the option of putting in Blaster as well..
who else SHOULD be in the movie that was an “important” character??
ARE ther ANY PLANS FOR “SPEILBERG” to turn optimus into a red cab over?
I mean rumour has it there are sequels which all may be forgiven if the transfomrers slowly “become” what they are in G1 or close to it.
(assuming thye have the rights to Kenworth products.)
Kudos to whoever posted that you tube picture of a CG optimus that is based on the toy. Heck if he could do it form a cab over (before anyone over uses that word this si what it means. the “cab” where the driver is in sits on top of the engine hence it is called a “cab over”)
By the way of the of thinking, the “diaclone” toy optimus is based on
looks like it a truck being opened when you lift the cab up whne transforming the toy.
Past employment in a truck stop and being an apprentice truck mechanic
DOES has its advantages.
I am sure they could do that but why take another approach? to entice YOUNGER audiences since their recollection of the eraliest toys are thsoe from later non G1 transformers series??
I mean ya got Peter cullen who was from G1 I mean might as well put some of the other Niceties that came with that series.
and it is possible to make the OUTER layer or armoring look closer to G1 without sacrificing much of the mobility, used sparringly and with gaps for the articulation(a little more boxy)
The way I figure is, spileberg wants to show the autobots as Living creatures hence the design shows the innards of how they work much like muscles. all he neds to do know is put More armor
I mean if the movie has petter cullen then itis a tribute to G1 then would it be possible to go all the way?
Ive been saying this all along.. Your ending comment…
‘I mean if the movie has petter cullen then itis a tribute to G1 then would it be possible to go all the way?’
That basically said it all.. But looks like these ‘paper’ transformer fans on this site don’t understand what all the fuss is about, instead, they change the subject and start talking about mass shifting, protoforms, robot movements etc… However, there is still the issue of actually answering my question, and that is, WHY..?? No-one has been able to give me a straight anwser, instead they change the subject..
shawn do me a favour maybe put this across to stevie so maybe the sequels would remind the older fasn of their childhood. at last a prime in RED and a little more familiar in looks not just voice.
I have no access. I’m not involved in any way. I’m sure you can find their emails and send them your feelings!
yeah If i can get a clear message that I AM A SERIOUS FAN. not a guy who just plays fan…
Didn’t some perople/ralated tho micheal bay’s transfromers reauent this forum in the past???
what I mean was didn’t people related to the movie frequent this forum in the past? I hope they read past articles and reply so we can get frist hand as to why things have been done that way. micheal bay rpomised fans in empire magazine to talk to them and explain why he made the changes… fans have the right to query why and debate and even find (if ever) a compromise.
going back on a written qouted promise really does wonders for your popularity ont it?
