Transformers Producers Look to Fan Input for Sequel
July 20, 2007
USA Today is reporting that the producers of Transformers will take the opinions of fans into consideration while planning the sequel. A poll is up asking fans which robots they would like to see in the next go around.
It’s tempting to think it’s promising that Hollywood producers will actually listen to the fans. The proof will be in the pudding when the sequel is released a couple years down the road. The entertainment industry is notoriously stubborn when it comes to embracing user-generated content and even worse in their minds, editorial.
Slowly but surely we’re seeing the winds of change. NBC.com is a prime example of a major network getting on the social media bandwagon. They also do wonderful integration campaigns with offline media. I can’t sit through an episode of The Office without being encouraged to go online. And I do go online.
USA Today is not just running Transformers polls, they have implemented their own social network site. I’ll probably sign up after I finish this post because I have something to say.
And that is: I want Female Transformers in the sequel. That’s right. Bring on some Arcee, Blackarachnia, and Elita One! And I’m not the only one. The second comment on the USA Today site is from AngelBot. She wants a feminine touch, too. Are you listening, Lorenzo di Bonaventura?

Shockwave and hound would be real cool I mean a transforming hummer and robot that turns into a laser cannon?Seeing how they had predicon if they brought Dinobot that would be awesome

I loved the first film, I did however find the Transformers to be nothin more than two bit players.
I have now fully wrote a sequel idea (I have no intentions or wishes for it to be the next film, But I think some of my ideas are worth at least a thougt). In which, the Humans play a very small part, the film is ‘Transformers’, not ‘How Transformers communicate with Humans’

In the transformers movie in the end optimus and megatron fight.Optimus doesn’t want to fight and megatron hits optimus a lot of time’s.So when they fight again make optimus realy fight like even So it can be a good battle.
