How about a signature Bay Ferrari, eh?? An Enzo, perhaps?? As Sideswipe??

Just don't let Eddie Griffin play the voice.

There are tons of vehicles out there that could rock. Not just sports cars. I like to see variety. Cement trucks, school buses, even Bullet Trains taking over Japan.... Hey, thats just genius.... Talk about a Godzilla homage, but with one of their trusted and well known transportation icons... I like it already.

Astrotrain comes to mind

1. Grimlock and the Dinobots.

2. Frank Welker as Soundwave.

3. More Cybertron.

4. Arcee and other fembots.

5. Decepticons in human shape. (Think the androids from BLADE RUNNER, except they can transform into alternate robot modes.)

6. Wider variety of vehicles for the TF's.

7. More "animal" Transformers like Scorponok.

8. A subplot where Sam could switch minds with one of the Autobots. (Check out the cartoon episode AUTOBOT SPIKE to see what I mean.)

9. BIGGER ROLE AND MORE LINES FOR MEGATRON.

I think this would be a cool idea for the sequel:

Ok...Optimus Prime sent out his message at the end of the first film and Startscream flew back into space. The other Autobots scattered about space get Prime's message (of course) and rally to the Ark. Starscream gathers more Decepticons together on the Nemesis and heads back to Earth to find the "dead/injured" Decepticons and Megatron. On the way they cross paths with the Ark and a space battle ensues, the Ark tries to escape but is critically damaged by the Nemesis and crash lands on Earth. Optimus Prime recieves a distress call from the Ark before it crashes and he along with the other Autobots on Earth, Sam and Makaela (since she's a grease monkey...and hot as hell) head to the crash site to help out. In the mean time the Nemesis loses track of the Ark due to damage taken from battle and a rough re-entry through the atmosphere following the Ark to Earth. Once the Decepticons land they begin the search for Megatron and the other Decepticons.

That's pretty much the beginning in a nutshell, I didn't want to get into specific detail, just hit the high points...after writing it I realized that it sounds similar to the G1 storyline of how they came to earth in the first place, but it seems to work and it makes sense (to me at least), and would work nicely as a tie in to the first movie...at least we would be able to see the Ark and the Nemesis in action, and it would allow for more development of the Transformers themselves and give them a bigger part to play...as far as the rest of the story...I don't know...maybe the Autobots try and stop the Decepticons from resurrecting Megatron with the piece of the allspark that they would get from Optimus somehow...or the Decepticons, after resurrecting Megs and the rest of the Decepticons, try to destroy mankind and the Autobots save the world...or something...I don't know...anyways, what do you all think??

At this point I don't think the relationship between Bay and GM will allow for cars from any other family or company having much of a roll. The GM family is large and I'm sure that there is a car or truck similar enough to whatever Transformer he might wanna use out there or in the design stages. Besides, GM's not gonna want to share the spotlight with any other company after getting the whole ball rolling and quite possibly their best marketing push ever.

What I would love is more Cybertron in the next one.

For starters I'd like to see Shockwave in the next movie, *eyes G1 Shockwave figure on desk* I'm not sure what vehicle would be best though ?

Thats a no brainer there man, Nimoy.

Do you think GM and Bay will do that?? Like pointed out GM has the product to make any TF really..

Tracks: Z06 vette
Hot Rod: GTO
Cliffjumper: a red 5th gen Camaro
Trailbreaker: Avalanche
Hound: H3
Sideswipe: Sky Redline
Sunstreaker: Sky
Wheeljack: C6R Vette

just to rattle off a few..and the cars we dont know about also??? Next GTO, Impala..and so on..

But think about it ..Would they be exclusive GM for the next movie?? Or would they open it up to other companies that will now want thier product placed in the next movie.

and also gotta remember Saleen will be in this too

Shockwave...vehicle??

howitzer..
