Jazz: “Autobots, start your engines. Ready Prime.”
Optimus Prime: “Let’s roll.”

Wait a minute...I thought they said before that Soundwave was definately featured? Hmmm...

Oh well...the movie will kick hiney anyways.

This sounds like a list of main robots.... kind of like when they list the title characters for the xmen movie.... however in xmen there are a ton of cameos, so this may be just a list of features players, while other bots could definately make cameos... like Soundwave.

I've seen images of Optimus Prime for this movie. They look great. I'm sure they might feature other robot cameos like the three X-Men movies did with other mutants. And even if they don't, I don't think it will matter too much. Fans have already expressed disapproval towards Prime's look in the movie. You can't please everyone, but either way, lacking robots or alternate robot designs won't impede upon this movie's success.

Only five autobots? I would HOPE there are some cameos or something...

yeah 5 robots sounds good. transformers has always been and unfair advantage. it makes the story more intense when they are out man. then the autobots rise to victory. thats what makes the story so good cause the good guys when in a unfair advantage against the decepticons. i like i like. cant wait till this comes. AUTOBOTS TRANSFORM AND ROLLLLLLLLLLL OUTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!

Ultrazilla (btw I dig that name: part Ultraman, part Godzilla), maybe they got rid of Soundwave because cassette tapes are close to obsolete. They'd have to re-do him with CDs or DVDs in his slot and we know what the fanboys/ladyboys would have to say about that. Perhaps there'll be a new iPod-based character...even more product placement for Apple. I mean, they someday have to top the Mac Powerbook saving the world because of its compatability with the aliens technology in Independence Day.

I caught part of the webcast. In regards to Soundwave: the writers said as the character evolved in the script, he evolved away from being soundwave. I think he ended up becoming Frenzy, but I can't remember which for sure.

tylon316 beat me straight to it. the decepticons have always out-numbered the autobots. The anticipation is killing me. as for the optimus design... i saw it... IT FUCKING ROCKED!!!!!!!!! I loved it, i haven't seen any other design, but optimus was my main concern-- him and megatron and starscream.
I cannot wait!!!
