First of all, I'm sure some of you have seen me drop hints here and there for the new Transformers Live movie (July 4 2007). I have some updates and information if people wish to look. Here's a quote from Michael Bay, after the first week of shooting. Quote:
We finished our first week. One of the best first weeks on a movie I've ever experienced. We shot over 250 set ups.
I'm working on the military aspects of the film right now in New Mexico at Hollaman Air Force base and the Army's White Sands missile base. The military has been stellar with us. This is the largest military cooperation since Pearl Harbor and Black Hawk Down.
Friday we shot two CV-22's (Ospreys). They fly like aliens dropping out of the sky. We also shot stealth fighters and low attack missile runs (50 feet off the deck) A10 Warthogs. They look so deadly and mean...

Transformers Characters:
Autobots
Optimus Prime
18 Wheeler, Semi. No mention of flat cab or long nose here.
Ironhide
Pickup Truck. All characters seem to scan and mimic real things they see in the movie. The one he scans is mentioned as being black.
Ratchet
Ambulance. No mention of style.
Jazz
Exotic Sportscar. No model mentioned. He scans one spinning in a showroom, so let's assume its fancy.
Bumblebee
Chevy Camaro. Yellow, racing stripes. He changes form at least once to another car form later in the script. Can not talk. Never a bug or smaller styled car.
Old Bumble bee
New Bumblebee

Starscream
F-22 Raptor Jet.
Scorponok
Metallic Scorpion. Seems to act as a drone.
Vortex
Real life military helicoptor. Scorponok attaches to him.
Brawl
Police Car. Soundwave works closely with him.

I CAN NOT WAIT FOR THIS! Seriously, even if the movie ends up sucking, I'll be seeing it.  [nerd] I wonder why they're mixing Beast Wars in with regular Transformers though? i.e. Scorponok [/nerd]

Scorponok was a character from the original series as well, actually. Little known though in the US as he only appeared in the final episode aired here.

[geek]Scorpinok was actually a G1 Character as well. Bot Mode Alt mode Toy [/geek] As far as I know, this movie (and sequels) are G1 based.

That movie looks like its gonna be pretty darn good. I like them bring in the camaro that isn't even being made yet too. Also, on a side not, I work on the A10 here at Lockheed Martin  As we speak I am working on integrating a new missle on the A-10 that has not been fired off of a fixed wing aircraft other than the predator which isn't a fighter. We will probably be testing at White Sands also this fall.

They're finally putting Hellfire on the A-10? It's about time...I remember that being advertised as a "capability" probably 15 years ago. The Hog could probably carry a dozen of those things.

I don't see how they could unless it has gone away from being wire-controlled.

Are you serious? You must not follow the A-10 that much anymore. We just rolled out a HUGE upgrade to the A-10, now the A-10C called Precision Engagement. It has a lot more capability now, why do you think they are still keeping it active after talks of retiring it? Because nothing can provide CAS like the A-10.
