Michael Bay is quoting as saying "There's Ratchet right there," director Michael Bay pointed out, sticking a flu-ridden finger in the direction of a pimped-out greenish-yellow ambulance with enormous tires and the world's biggest cow-catcher affixed to the front. "That's Ironhide, the black [GMC] truck. That's a newly transformed [orange-yellow] Bumblebee that started out as an old Camaro and becomes a new Camaro there's a reason for that in the script and we've got Jazz right here."
Don Murphy is quoting with "Bumblebee has the most screen time of any of the characters,"
Shia LaBeouf reveals some of the background plot details including that "They make first contact with me because of my great-great-grandfather, Captain Archibald Witwicky, who made first contact with [Decepticon leader] Megatron in the 1800s and had language and maps burned into his glasses through a laser," LaBeouf continued. "The glasses were passed on through lineage, and they wind up with me, and I'm trying to sell them on eBay, as well as other items, like his compass and his sextant and other things a 19th-century seaman would use. They come after me to retrieve these glasses, which have the directions for where the Energon cube is at."
MTV go on to descrbie the Engeron cube as " a black-and-gray box small enough to be tucked under an arm".
The aricle ends commenting on locations for the film and some more quotes from LaBeouf
"Transformers" will shoot "Armageddon"-esque world-under-siege shots in Boston, New York and other major cities as well as at the Pentagon, which would make it the first post-9/11 movie to do so. Several of the filmmakers expect the flick to get a PG-13 and also mentioned hopes for a sequel in 2009 that would reveal additional characters.
Also in the works is another trailer, which would likely debut around the holidays and feature a transforming Bumblebee, Optimus Prime speaking and the same "wah-wah" noise that signified a transformation in the classic cartoon show.
" 'Transformers: The Movie,' that was my sh--," an enthusiastic LaBeouf said of the 1986 animated film. "It was that and Yogi Bear. That's what I grew up on. Those were my movies, and I'd watch them over and over again. I must have seen 'Transformers: The Movie' 70 times. ... I know what it means to you guys. I know what it means to the fans."
