Several sources have reported spotting both McCrary and a Pontiac Soltice on the shoot for the new Transformers movie.

Other rumors have Robert Orci stating :

I’d love and think we could almost barely manage ten on each side, with some front and center and others as more supporting.

In the past Bay has denied that Jazz would return, but we all know how producers and directors like to screw with our heads while they make films.

As for the 10 autobots, if I have a say, I would love to see Hound return.

Remember this guy?

Yep.. that was Soundwave, and he will be one of the new Decepticons that will be featured in the movie, along with his cassette sidekick “Ravage”.

When asked if Ravage would be as closely tied to Soundwave as he was in the animated series  Orci answered:

Perhaps! You know, we had Ravage in an early draft of the first movie and Soundwave, and we couldn’t do it right and I think this time hopefully we’ll have the ability to do it.

The movie will begin 2 years after the conclusion of the last movie, and we will catch up with Sam, and his girlfriend, but Orci says something that makes the geek in me tingle like a little boy again :

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.

Oh yeah … more Transformers, means more awesome!

I guess the real question is will they be able to sell Ravage as a cassette, without the younger generation asking their parents [ what a cassette is ] …
