News about "Transformers 3"

I just read that the main villain in Transformers 3 will be Shockwave. I'm not too upset by this, but knowing the Transformers since I was a kid, I know Shockwave is Megatron's second in command, who remained on the planet Cybertron. From what the article said, they have made Shockwave the dictator of Cybertron after the Autobots and Decepticons left to find the Allspark. So, does this mean he is not a Decepticon? And since the plot of the movies has taken place here on Earth, how does the ruler of Cybertron fit into this?





Couldn't they just have brought Shockwave into the already existing Decepticons and made the main villain Unicron? I mean, he ends up in every version of Transformers, why not the live action movies?



I guess planet-sized, world eating Transformers aren't in Michael Bay's budget. He should really think about the number of explosions he could have with a planet sized robot.


Thank fully, Mr. Bay has stated that the Autobot twins, Mudflap and Skids, from Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, are all but gone. Also, no one will be resurrected if they die, again like T:RotF. And of course the big news is that Megan Fox will not be in this one. Personally, I wish there were even less humans in a movie based on giant robots. How is it that the Transformers can carry numerous television shows and a classic animated movie, based on the actual robots, but the live action movies need huge human casts that overshadow the robots? If we are lucky, when Michael Bay is done destroying childhoods with his vision, maybe someone good like J.J. Abrams or Christopher Nolan can attempt a reboot. They have done great with Star Trek and Batman.
