Production on Michael Bay’s Transformers 2 is set to commence this summer, but with the script already in development chances were we’d glean some information about the sequel before then.
IESB.net has now posted a casting list for new human characters in the film which includes Sam’s conspiracy theorist Princteon roommate Chuck, an African American military leader, a UK Special Forces leader, a presidential liason called Galloway, Sam’s Princeton physics professor Colan, Sgt. Epps’ sassy wife Theresa, a Texas congressman, and an FBI director.
More interesting though is the site’s intel on the new Decepticons that are set to appear in the film. It seems the evil half of the robot aliens will get help from the Constructicons, who in the original cartoon were six Decepticons that transform into construction site vehicles and, more importantly, could merge into one giant robot who went by the name of Devastator. Fanboy heaven! The film is looking to be released in 2009.

I prefer Obama to McCain. Now, McCain’s better than average for a Republican. And though his ads are intellectually offensive, he’s just bowing to his campaign masters and would calm down and be more sane once in office and not campaigning. But I have a few concerns with McCain on foreign policy. He’s not a full-fledged Neocon. That’s good. He opposed Reagan on Lebanon. Good. He was critical of Bush’s initial strategy in Iraq. That’s good. But there’s a problem. He thinks the Vietnam war was winnable and that the US shouldn’t have withdrawn. He’s also eager to spread democracy with force. This just isn’t a good set of beliefs for inheriting Iraq.
