Well, that's not gonna happen if Don Murphy has his way. He's only putting 6-8 transformers on each side into the first film he said. Other characters from G1 and G2 will show up in later films. I suppose in some way there will be a natural progression. Cybertron is to be prominently featured in the film, as well as the central domicile being earth. He said the film will be a Sci-fiction film targeted at 13-24 yr olds, being that if you get that "audience" "you get everyone". So the dialogue will not be like in the later Batman films. go to the DonMurphy.com website and read his comments. The main issue I think TF fans will have is that he is not too interested in the history of the Transformers, more the recent comic book epics from dreamwave and others.
