So much for a potentially robot-based space opera. At this rate, we'll have to wait until Transformers 6 for a good Transformers film.

Anyone else feel that a 20-something Texas race car driver and a high school student is just a little wrong? Let alone why they would be in Chicago?

New team coming back to clean up the Decepticon mess is a good starting point.

[Megatron]

Let me guess... one of the Texan race car driver's race cars happens to be an Autobot? I hope it's not another Sam & Mikaela all over again.

Still... not enough info yet on which Decepticons will be in this, which I am waiting for.

A 20 something race car driver with a high school girl. We might get another unique transformer... One that changes into a trailer

when you mean trailer do you mean R*****s? Thats brilliant! If they have race cars I hope we get stunticons!

And another note Im really annoyed that they are going with the girlfriend/boyfriend romance again, it really is overdone. There needs to be something fresh. Im cool with the guy been a race car driver, but the female lead could be something else like a business woman or scientist. I dont know, and maybe she is a daughter of an oil tycoon, or a world renowned scientist. She could have a daughter, who goes to highschool and the father is the race car driver sigh.

It sounds oh, so wrong 8-/

[Autocon]

Maybe the movie will be focusing on the wreckers and one of the nascars is the race car??

Did we know how many bots came in the second wave???

Personally I say lets go for a female race driver and a male house husband!

Or a driver / manager combo would have worked.

I wonder if it will be another decepticon plot to rule the world from another ever mentioned top level con, or more of an Autobot hunting party?

And who will be the new Bumblebee that we can get 100 toys of? How come he won't be able to talk? Who will he pee on? Whose dogs will get more screen time than some robots? Who will play obnoxious, slightly racist stereotyped minority groups?

Interesting, though bay would never cast the lead male as a house husband!

or how about 2 drivers who are rivals. Just re-reading my last post, Im now thinking to much drama, but I do like the idea of an oil tycoon.
