Will Megatron still be a Wather P-38?

My thoughts exactly on Soundwave. He was Megatron's right hand bot! He's the guy who had all the dirt on everyone else! I realize cassette players are no longer the "in" thing, but please... Scorpinok? At least bring in Astrotrain or something...

According to what I hear they're making Megatron a tank.
Bumblebee will be a Ford Mustang.

Here is where you'll find pics of the different characters.......in vehicle form!

Bumblebee will actually be a '75 Camaro. Yellow with black stripes. Volkswagon wouldn't give their approval for the bug to be used in the movie.

Thats a 2008 Camaro, or whatever year it comes out.

These things are from another planet, right? So how come they are in the shapes of Earth vehicles?

I've seen behind-the-scene pictures of the '75. It's in the same paint colors & scheme, so I'm thinking that maybe 'Bee gets damaged & rebuilt.

To hide, of course. "Robots in disguise", remember? ;)

If they stick to the original story of how the bots came to Earth from the cartoon, it goes like this;
Megatron and a handful of Decepticons take ship and head to Earth to rob our planet of our natural rescources and sucking the energy from out from them to make energon. Optimus Prime and the Autobots take another ship to intercept Megatron and stop his plan. The two ships intercept and a fierce battle ensues. Both ships are damaged and hurdle towards Earth. The Autobot ship crashes into a mountain, all onboard Autobot and Decepticon are out of commision. Millions of Years later, the Autobot ship's onboard computer suddenly activates and sends a probe to explore the planet and scan all vehicles and weapons that the probe finds useful. The probe returns and begins downloading all the collected data and begin repairing the bots.
Basically they can now transform into modern day Earth vehicles and weapons. The Autobots and Decepticons are then reactivated to continue their battle now here on Earth.

Cool stuff, some of the cons are very wicked looking. OP looks great too, even with the flames......

"starscream" - I still have that toy somewhere. Excellent.
