20,546 More Robots in 'Transformers 2'!!!

Okay, maybe we're exaggerating just a tiny bit with that number. Actually, word has it there could be up to 20 more robots in the sequel; this based on a throwaway line written by Roberto Orci on Don Murphy's message board. He says, "I'd love and think we could almost barely manage ten on each side, with some front and center and others as more supporting." Really? 20 robots? I had a hard enough time differentiating between three robots in the first flick -- now they're gonna go ahead and shove 20 at us. 20! How will Shia LaBeouf (poor kid) find a way to "shack up" with Megan Fox when he's got 20 robots to deal with? JoBlo spoke to Michael Bay at the MTV Movie Awards last night where the director said that "this really feels like a cool sequel ... and it's not one of those bullsh*t sequels. This one stands on its own; the script. And the first one set up a bunch, so you're allowed to have more fun with this one. More robots. More personality from the robots." Transformers 2 begins production today in Pennsylvania.
What do you think about all these robots? Is 20 too much or too little? And should I even be complaining about a Transformers movie with too many robots?

No...more robots was inevitable, which is the right thing in my opinion. Hopefully they are able to create cool and diverse characters amongst the robots...it is a risk but it makes the film better for repeat viewings as you catch things you may have first time around.

Ten Autobots and Ten Decepticons doesn't sound like too many to me.

I say bring em on. The main thing I'm concerned with is whether or not Megatron is going to come back, or if they are going to try and use Galvatron, or even Starscream as a leader.
Loved the first movie. This one will hopefully top it.

That would be no; you should definitely NOT be complaining about a Transformers movie with too many robots. Bring 'em on. Sure, the fight scenes may have been a bit too confusing upon first viewing with the original movie but that is no problem considering that, regardless of confusion, we are watching giant fricking transforming robots fight each other. That is awesome, no matter what.

So for every bot there would be 5 minutes of people talking?

I think it was hard to tell them apart in the movie because they got so little screen time, especially when transformed. I say the more the merrier. The fight scenes were the best part of the movie (especially the highway fight).

The first movie sucked b/c they had some lamo humans. I want to see robots, Shia, and Megan only. Who cares about anyone else?
