Of course we had to dig deeper!

Here is a quick transcript of some of the questions...

Q: So Megatron, tank or gun?

A: We are handling everything like a Supreme Court. We are taking everything in from the fans and taking it under judicial review. Treating every decision like it's law. I don't know how we can do it without making Megatron a tank...that's probably how where we're going to end up.

Q: So are you thinking Generation 1, Generation 2? Mixture of both?

A: A mixture actually, there will be a lot of G1 but also some new characters that people have never seen before.

Q: So there will be new characters.

A: Yes.

Q: Michael Bay is still attached, how much influence is he having?

A: A lot, its a really great group ...everyone loves the franchise, loves the universe, we want to make a great movie

Q: Don Murphy wants the original voiceover actors is that something you guys have in mind?

A: We've been writing it with them in mind because since we we're fans that's the voices we have in our heads...I think its going to ultimately be up to Michael

Q: Will we see the homeworld (Cybertron)?

A: We are talking about that we would love to do that...

Q: How is the script coming along?

A: Really well

Q: So when will you think Michael Bay is going to start doing this thing?

A: We are working with Michael very closely right now on the movie and so far everyone is really happy with what we're doing so knock on wood...
