Soundwave is definately going to be in this one.

[CBGB]

In an interview with IGN Movies, Screenwriter Roberto Orci revealed some pretty exciting news about the upcoming Transformers 2 Live action movie.

Taken from the interview:

ORCI: We want to follow some of our lead characters which we thought were so successful. Shia's character; where is he two years later? His girlfriend, where is she two years later? But for fans, I guess I'll address this more for the fans, because I think if you didn't know Transformers at all and you came in and you liked the first movie, you'll like the second one. However, some of the die hard fans, which we were a member of that group, felt, well, maybe it's a little light. Maybe it wasn't science fictiony enough. And I think the second one will deliver on a true Transformers story. You know, the first one, we had a limited budget for what it was. Every second of Transformer time is a million dollars or whatever the heck it is, so this time, because we were able to prove through the whole thing that it's a viable live-action movie, we have a little more freedom this time to actually learn about the Transformers, see them, hear them. It's a better balance between the humans and the Transformers.

Q: Is there one particular Transformer, good or bad, that you absolutely had to get into the sequel?

ORCI: Yes.

Q: You're not gonna tell us.

ORCI: I'll tell you. We had to get Soundwave in there.

I like the sound of this!

'true Transformers movie' equals to more Cybertron backstory imo.

[Jake Cassidy]

I'm glad he said that. Now, hopefully, people will stop complaining about 'lack of screentime for the TFs'.

[Figs]

This sounds great!

[dimmutaker]

YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!! I can't wait for this one.

[DJ Kornphlake]

Let's party.

[Avangarde]

I think it was pretty much a given that Soundwave was going to be in this, all we really needed was confirmation and now we have it . It's also good that Orci mentioned Ravage in there was well although I would like to think Lazerbeak would be included in that pose. Considering his voice is heavily altered I can't see why Frank Welker couldn't be considered for the voicing roll, he has done some Soundwave voicing with recent stuff like Family Guy and Robot chicken and he sounds no different to when he was voiced back in the 80's.

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Awesome, cant wait to see what form Soundwave takes, and Orci's other comments are welcome as well. Cant Wait!

[awesomeman500]

Don't you remember? They're supposed to be laying out false info!

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Think this will be true, Soundwave was always a cert for TF2.

I agree. Welker should've been cast as Megatron in TF1. So here's hoping that Bay doesn't snub him again.

And I hope that Laserbeak and Rumble are also included

[Golgo-13]

I'd prefer Ravage and Laserbeak..... or Buzzsaw. They F'ed up Frenzy, so unless Rumble looks vastly different, i'd rather not see him.

He was always a given for this movie.

[Chris B]

I actually wouldn't mind if Rumble beared some resemblance to Frenzy. The main things being he would need to a lot bulkier, black color scheme, and have a different head design. But first and foremost he would still need to be characterized as a street punk with a Brooklyn accent.

Does anyone else want to hear Soundwave say "Laserbeak eject, Operation: Interference" or anything else along that line? I would say that him saying that is just as essential as Optimus saying "Autobots, transform and roll out."

Count me in on that, I'd also like to see a moment where Soundwave pets Ravage similar to this moment, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTQs9heI05U, at about 50 seconds into the video.

Perhaps during a strategy meeting with all of the Decepticons.

My $.02.

I cant see them snubbing Welker again, IMO Weaving makes a better Megatron, but Welker should at least be Soundwave IMO.

Laserbeak and Ravage i would rather see also.

[brimstone_halo]

can't wait

here is the second part

^GOD thats funny!

[Rikxiepoo]

Good. Bigger budget means more CGI and explosions, which makes Michael Bay get creative and us go o.O nice!

Welker should have voiced Megs, and since he didn't they should at least give him Soundwave. I know for me, Welker's voice is such a powerful element to the spirit of Transformers...just as much as Cullen's and Welker should get the same amount of respect in the sequel.

Personally, i preferred Weaving for Megatron, his voice for Megatron has more authority and power IMO, Welker's is a bit meak for someone so evil.

But Welker should get to do Soundwave.

That is exactly how I wanted Megatron to sound in the Transformers movie. There is nothing meek about the voice. The raspy sound feels a lot more intimidating than Weavings voice.

[Chris B]

I'm also in the "Welker should have been Megatron" camp. I didn't hate Hugo Weaving's performance and I would rate him as being third on who I think did the best job in the role, but I simply feel there wasn't any real reason for Bay not to bring back Welker. Especially seeing how Weaving's voice was altered and the same likely would've been done to Welker's.

Ideally, Frank Welker would be doing the voices of both Megatron and Soundwave again in the film franchise, but what's done is done. This was just a missed oppurtunity on Bay's part, IMO.
