Those of you who were afraid that Transformers 2 would have too much human interaction and not enough transforming robot action can now breathe a sigh of relief. Screenwriter Roberto Orci made a post on a message board where he mentioned there would be around 20 transformers – 10 on each side – in Transformers 2.
His exact words were: “I’d love and think we could almost barely manage ten on each side, with some front and center and others as more supporting.”
The die hards are taking this to mean that there are definitely this many Transformers in the movie and are going all crazy-faced with the news. I personally couldn’t care less. I thought the first film was a bit of a letdown. The whole plot was ridiculous. I don’t see the second one being much different.
What do you think? The more robots the better? Or should they concentrate on just a few Transformers and give them more screen time?
I wouldn’t mind about the same with a little more screen time. Is Shia going to be in this one?

Yeah, the Young Indiana Jones…er…Shia will be back for part 2.
Well then, that might make it watchable – he’s becoming a pretty good actor.

I liked the first one a lot, maybe it wasn’t awesome, but I really dug it.
More robots, the better.
i still haven’t seen the first one… but i love the word robotastic.

Thanks Nicky. That was actually the part of the article that took the longest for me.
That’s what she said.
I don’t get it.
Really? Because that’s what she said.

I’m not surprised Jason doesn’t get it.
“Took the longest for me…”
It may be nice for the die hards, but ordinary people are going to have a hell of a hard time distinguishing who’s who out of 20 Transformers, and they certainly aren’t going to be fully realize “characters”. It’ll be like George Lucas inventing a bunch of aliens just because he can, though it doesn’t impact the story (or lack thereof) one bit.
Or they could – shudder to think it – actually not give a crap about the number of robots and instead focus attention on crafting a script that contains a smattering of real plot?
Transformers was all eye-candy fluff and no substance. Seems like a big budget movie could incorporate at least as much story arc as a TV cartoon…
