'Transformers 3' Casting, Rumors, Pics till release

Not really. Bay is a Coen brothers fan, and actors who have appeared in their movies (hey there, John Tuturro in Transformers, oh, how was Buscemi in Armageddon?) have a curious possibility for appearing in his.
Right, that might be extremely reductive of me in Malkovich's case (he's done so many things besides Burn After Reading), but Frances McDormand is famous chiefly as a frequent star of the Coen Brothers, after all.
Anyway, it's cool casting.
Cool casting but no Dinobots. Enough pussyfooting around, guys, give me the Dinobots and I might actually pay to see this one in theatres.
...
Malkovich as Grimlock?
I need the following from the next Transformers movie:
1. Sparkplug to show up as Megan Fox's character's dad. They set that up in the first movie, time to follow through.
2. Optimus to transform into truck mode, and a trailer come rolling up out of nowhere.
3. A frakking gestalt that actually looks and acts like he is supposed to: Bruticus, Superion, Predaking, Computron, Menasor, Defensor, Abominus, etc. I don't care which one, just let them look like a giant robot and not a huge metal sandsucking tick. Also, give the individual components their own bloody robot mode!
4. SOUNDWAVE, and a few of his "tapes" - they can be CDs or SD cards, I don't care, so long as their robot mode is recognisable and Soundwave sounds technotronic.
5. A Skyfire that actually looks like a Robotech mech. (Since they already used the name Jetfire for ... whatever the hell that Captain Morgan-wannabe thing was in the last movie.)
6. Dinobots - in their original characters. (Albeit probably the comic book versions, so they are gritty enough.)
7. Finally, two items of equal importance: A Transformers-centered plot, and Megan Fox to come over and do naughty things with me and my wife after the movie.
(Okay, I'll take just the first - I know the second probably won't happen. 
)

I would settle for Skyfire as a Space Shuttle...although I was hoping thats was what Jetfire was going to be...but we got SR-71 Blackbird which is cool...making him a old fart was not.

Why, so he can spend the whole movie bitching about not being as cool as Optimus?

It would fit right in with these Transformer movies.

"LaBeouf, who starts work on the next "Transformers" sequel Tuesday, said the third installment will be the best one yet. The new script restores a human element that got lost in the second movie, LaBeouf said..."

Nice to see that some of them noticed that the second film was bad

sorry, but a film series about a buncha alien robots who beat the shit out of each other should be about a buncha alien robots who beat the shit out of each other not the puny fleshlings who tag along.
Sparkplug is Sam's dad, not Mikaela's.
If you haven't noticed, the movies do not follow much of the Transformers' mythology.
^ Then why worry about 'Sparkplug' at all?
That being said, I love that bit in TF2 when Mikaela is on the phone to Sam and she talks to him about "...helping my MANCHILD father get back on his feet again..." and her dad is right there and he goes "I heard that!"

I definately want to see Dinobots. Have them scan a musuem where a T-Rex is and then turn into a robot dinosour. I wish it would get rebooted though and made to look like the G1 robots. I do like the first one though. I don't see why they couldn't just follow the cartoon? I definately want to see Optomis with the trailer.
i'd love a Transformers movie set entirely on Cybertron with no humans. with the highly realistic CGI of the Bay flicks.
I do want the human element. Fewer transformers, more tightly focused plot, and please, only one McGuffin rather than the six or seven we got in the last film.
