I can definitely see Megatron as a Blackbird, its really just a question of filling in the gaps in the front and smoothing him off.

Yea, I could see that. Especially since he started off in TF1 as a cybertronian aircraft.

Correctly spelt, but misused. Presumptuous mean they presume something. If you wanted another word for gullible, you could have had naive.

I suppose both could apply, but they're just not the same thing. Presumptuous actually works better, because gullible implies they were tricked into thinking they were dead, as opposed to just presuming that being ripped in half, having a cube pushed into their chest etc could kill them. (I think the Autobots were a presumptuous about Megatron, to be honest, and as he's in the sequel, evidently so).

i don't think they would care if they think they could make some profit or advance on their war tech.

The blackbird was never actually publicly displayed (pictures or anything) as far as I know so this could get damn interesting if a blackbird is in the film - a Transformer or not.

I guess I would be in the minority as I wouldnt want Megs as a tank. I never liked Megatron as a slow or cumbersome leader with great power. I like him being fast and nimble, as well as powerful.

We already had a tank for TF, with Devastator so we've already seen what one can do and it just wouldnt be interesting.

I'd prefer Megatron to stay with a flying alt. Being able to blast off to anywhere without any ground restrictions is fantastic writing material.

megatron tank picture look quick as it will be taken down by hasbro and paramount
here
blown up pics

The tank looks way better that his silly jet form, maybe he will be a tripple changer.
As for the blackbird my money is its soundwave if you look at the call sheet every new character has a code name only the blackbird is called jetfire i think bay is, trying to throw us by giving us a name to theorize.

i agree with danny.  Megatron should come back with a smooth surface rather than jagged.  That pointy look makes him look too organic.  The point is to make them seem like they have inorganic parts.  More mechanical.

That's really clever, Blaster.  Michael Bay is quite the people pleaser.  At least for me, that will be his new nickname whenever the subject of Bay movies comes up.

If I remember!

Megs toy pic
looks like my theory that sam only sees him in a flashback is way off
but he looks way better i this than his jet mode. Im hoping hes a tripple changer.

i don't like that look but i think this is just hogwash.

bay puts out fake stuff.  i would like to see something done in solidworks rather than photoshop.  then i'll probably believe it.

the new design for Megatron is definitely bad ass. I still would have liked a flying alt but this design is slick

Quick question, does anyone else see the links (IP address, link back to the movie forum, the "more..." smileys link the "forum codes" link in the reply box etc..) as being blue in this thread and not red?

And only in this thread...
