Transformers Weekly Update Number 2...

I have had a lot of conversations about Transformers recently...In fact I should totally be getting paid...

Anyway, as I have shown the trailer to everyone that has visited my house in recent months. I have managed to get majority of the people I know excited about the film. Several people have asked me if I know what Transformers are actually going to be in the movie. Feeling like the local expert on Transformers that I am trying to past myself off as I decided to go to the internet in search of the answer.

Here is what I found at the greatest website around Wikipedia.

Autobots

• Optimus Prime (Peterbilt Model 388): The powerful, wise leader of the Autobots, Prime comes to protect humanity from the evil Decepticons.
• Bumblebee (1974/2008 Chevrolet Camaro): Bumblebee is an honest and friendly soldier who befriends humanity, namely Sam, in his efforts to find the Allspark. He has difficulty speaking after he was attacked by Megatron and communicates with a radio.^[2]
• Jazz (Pontiac Solstice): The smallest and feistiest of the Autobots, Jazz is one of Optimus' best warriors, talented at learning new cultures.^[2]
• Ironhide (GMC Topkick pick-up truck): A tough, weathered soldier, he is always the first in battle. Ironhide is one of Optimus' oldest friends, yet he has a darker outlook on life.^[2]
• Ratchet (Search & Rescue Hummer H2): The medic and scientist, Ratchet has a strong sense of duty to protect life.^[2]

Decepticons

• Megatron (Cybertronian jet): The missing Decepticon leader held hostage by Sector 7, Megatron desires power over the Allspark and hates organic lifeforms.
• Starscream (F-22 Raptor): Megatron's second-in-command, Starscream actually desires to overthrow Megatron and take the Allspark for himself.^[2]
• Barricade (Saleen-modified Ford Mustang police car) : The Decepticon hunter who masquerades in society as a symbol of the law.^[2]
• Frenzy (2-speaker CD player): The smallest of the Decepticons, Frenzy attaches to Barricade. His main purpose is spying on humans, but he is still a ferocious fighter, shooting blades disguised as CDs from his chest.^[2]
• Bonecrusher (Buffalo H Mine-Protected vehicle): A Decepticon warrior who hates all others. He is only subservient to Megatron, whom he fears.^[2]
• Blackout (MH-53 Pave Low): The largest Decepticon, Blackout is fiercely loyal to Megatron and can fire electromagnetic pulses, making Decepticon attacks easier.
• Scorponok (mechanical scorpion): He has a symbiotic relationship with Blackout, hiding within him until he is commanded to go and kill.
• Brawl (Modified M1 Abrams): A moody warrior, armed to the teeth.

I am happy they stuck with the true originals for the autobots. Ironhide pictured at the top of this article is one of my favorites besides of course Optimus Prime. Jazz is also a huge fan favorite. Lets hope the new voices are as good as the ones from the cartoon.
