Roberto Orci stating (in a way) that Transformers 2 may have up to 10 robots on each side, potentially doubling the cast of the first film (which stood at 13)
See Mr. Orci's original post by clicking here.

I'd love and think we could almost barely manage ten on each side, with some front and center and others as more supporting. |
What could this mean? It could mean MORE GIANT FREAKIN' ROBOTS, that's what. Let us know what you think by clicking View User Comments above.

Most combiners have five or six bots in each one so even if there is a combiner in any of the movies it still leaves plenty of room for he rest of them...they also don't need to stay in gestalt mode the entire time.

But Bonecrusher might live, his head was cut off, but Frenzy still made it. Why can't he?(because he HATES his movie role)

A bigger budget means more bots indeed! ILM alone took forty million dollars as their fee for the first film so TF2's budget should be at least 175-200 million this time around you'd imagine.
Also, there is supposed to be a "better balance of robot to human" screen time and story line than the first film.

Finally a legit list!!! This guy Tim knows the bizness!! Anywho I have no I idea about a wreckage...Id rather Wheelie.
Cyclonus/Scourge & Thundercracker/Skywarp in the same movie is a dumb idea. Thats like Robin & Nightwing in the same flick...cmon people stop with the WACKNESS!!
Check it out Tim...I think a triplechanger is a great idea. What do you think about Springer??

Well they say TF2 is suppose to have more Transformers storylines to follow. Not like TF1 where we had the Military, Hackers & Sector 7 stories eventually coming together near the end. And thats not including Sam's story.
I think Bay is starting to understand the responsibility of the Transformer Brand. Lets give him another chance. If he messes up TF2, well don't support TF3. I hoping he does TF2 right and makes a classic.

Then again, if Soundwave is actually in Transformers 2...

I had no problems keeping up with the action and could tell who was who in every scene. I wear glasses and have for several years now and they are actually well worn and past their prime...maybe they were the glasses all the bots were looking for in the first movie ?
I fully agree the first movie could have been better but I still thought that it was a good start to this version of the TF franchise.
Anyway, the second film is supposed to have a better ratio of robot screen time to human screen time than the first...as far as dialog goes I will not expect a great depth in to characterization on each bot, maybe some in-fighting with the auto bot ranks for a change but that seems highly unlikely with the TF history and it will be on the Decepticon side especially with StarScream leaving the earth for reinforcements I bet but characterization can be followed up on in TF3 as well...we don't necessarily need a complete "back story" on every bot like they do on the characters on "Lost" at least not all at once as that would take up too much time and budget.
I think and hope TF2 will be an improvement on several levels but nobody should expect or demand perfection.

Cascadia wrote:10 robots on each side could have advantages as well as disadvantages. Yes it could mean more toys, which would make kids and collectors as well as Hasbro happy. But hopefully, the robots have more screen time so that there is more character development when comparing to the small amount that occurred in the first one.
Changes they won't be able to develop everyone for TF2. But focus on at least 8 of the 20 would be great IMO.
Cascadia who you like TF2 to focus on from TF1?
