I wanted to make a suggestion for a remade Transformer for the next Transformer movie and I wanted to know what is the best way to make this recommendation.
The Transformer I had in mind is Astrotrain, which was a Decepticon that could transform into a train and into a space shuttle. I would suggest remaking the train version into a General Electric Evolution Series locomotive. You can check it out on the web at http://www.getransportation.com/na/en/evolution.html . The space shuttle version can be either the current or a new design of a space shuttle.
With the current success of GE overall business and Locomotive business, I think this would be an excellent opportunity to provide a remade Decepticon and a globally recognized product of GE.
The Locomotive could be an excellent disguise for a Decepticon, where even the paint scene could be changed from one Locomotive company to another to blend into a train switch station in a busy area such as Chicago. And other Decepticons could transform into box cars or coal cars to have a entire assault force blend into a populated area.
Please help me with getting this suggestion to the proper people to give this a chance of consideration to add this to the next Transformer Movie.

actually i think this would be both a good idea, and a plausible method of bringing in new cons. They would have to be careful with the scale issue mind...unlike in the 86 movie where the constructacons merge into devastator INSIDE astrotrain lol.

Astrotrains not a bad idea really, a bullet train/shuttle and all what with that whole mars rover cut in the movie and all.

It'd fit.

Please, no Astrotrain.

for the life of me, I can not see why this character is so popular.

Someone just mentioned this from another TF board, but it would be absolutely cool to see........

DUOCONS!!!!!

Imagine 2 high performance sports cars racing really fast on a freeway (Michael Bay style) and then while they are in mid race, they drive side by side almost touching each other and then they both transform. Both of them have their arms reach out at each other and then combine to 1 single Robot, twice the size of a standard Autobot. And they do this while in top speeds.

or picture this, even way more over the top (literally)

They both drive at top speeds. One in front of the other. And then the one in front slows down. While the one behind transforms, launching himself on top of the other one. Ok now we get a sideview camera angle in slow motion. You see both of them transforming, the bottom one transforms its arms stick out reaching up to connect with its partner and then we get a world famous Michael Bay 360 degree shot of the two combiners forming into a robot. The shot finally ends with the Duocon running at speeds almost as high as if they were in car mode.

Now THAT is a money shot!!

dont get me wrong, im not in favor of this out of some misplaced sense of fandom...i just think its a good idea/concept for the cons return to earth. His character could be completely different as far as im concerned.

Transformers 2 needs MORE Starscream and more Decepticons in general. When that is done, others come into spotlight.
Soundwave & Grimlock...

I would think I am watching Cirque Du Soleil at that point. I think the idea would be cool, yet watching this huge transformers hold hands and merge with eachother while being all graceful... eh.

That would have been me on the DM.net forams and Yes Duocons would be a perfect idea for movie 2 ...

Wasn't there already a Duocon thing in this movie; Blackout and Skorponok?

Cyclonus would be running Cybertron and he's a jet too. When Starscream goes back to tell they return and resurrect Megatron. Could get an interesting triangle of deceit going on.

Inferno would be a huge firetruck that they use in NY where the guy has to sit in the rear to drive too.

Blurr would be badass F1 race car.


They're really going to have to stretch the story to introduce new characters. Especially after the Allspark is gone.
