Transformers2007teaserposter — How's this for a sequel: Unicron's back, but this time he's a hard-boiled private eye...

Transformers will be a live-action movie released by Dreamworks, with Executive Producer Steven Spielberg and Director Michael Bay. Its principle stars are Shia LaBeouf, Jon Voight, and Megan Fox.

Originally slated to release in the summer of 2006, the film will arrive in theatres on July 4, 2007.

Storyline

Further information in this article is coming soon as it pertains to information that is not currently appropriate for inclusion.
See the relevant policy page for the reasons why, and do not add further information pending review.

The movie features a small, yellow Autobot named Bumblebee, who befriends the teenage human, Spike Witwicky. He and his fellow Autobots, the medic Ratchet, the rough-and-tumble cowboy Ironhide, and the smooth and super-cool Jazz (who has a car hood for a chest and a visor for eyes) are led by Optimus Prime, a red and blue robot with a distinctive mouthplate, windows in his chest and a grill in his stomach who transforms into a truck. Optimus Prime's nemesis is an evil, silver, bucket-headed robot named Megatron, leader of the Decepticons. The Decepticons' ranks include a pissed-off tank named Brawl, a mechanical scorpion named Scorponok, and a jet fighter named Starscream, who schemes to take command of the Decepticons from Megatron, as both sides battle over the legendary object that can grant new Transformer life.

Sarcasm warning: Bitter facetiousness to follow.

This, of course, is nothing like Transformers.

-'''Megatron''' is the leader of the [[Predacon (RID)|Predacons]].  He claims to have decimated numerous planets during his campaign for Predacon supremacy before coming to [[Earth]] in search of the megaweapon [[Fortress Maximus (RID)|Fortress Maximus]].  (Though exactly how, since he arrives on this planet nearly out of [[energon]] and with only 4 incompetent buffoons for troops is a mystery).  He appears to have come into conflict with Optimus Prime and his Autobots numerous times before.

+{{sarcasm}}
-Although Megatron is a powerful warrior he typically leaves the fighting to his Predacon lackies, such as [[Sky-Byte]], preferring to stalk around his ship/base the [[Megastar]], sit on his can, and yell at them when they inevitably fail.  Megatron is not completely above inadvertently making a fool of himself, either.  Maybe that's why he stays home so much.
+This, of course, is ''nothing'' like Transformers.

-Upon his conversion to '''Galvatron''', he is a ''lot'' more active and effective.

-===Robots in Disguise===
-*'''Megatron''' (Ultra, 2000/2001)
-:''Japanese ID number'': '''D-001'''
-: The ''only'' new-mold badguy from the ''Car Robots'' line, Gigatron has six different configurations: robot, jet, bat, two-headed dagon, giant hand (''awesome''), and roadster.  His hand mode actually has a spring-loaded "gripping" gimmick (''oh hell yeah'').  He comes with a pair of pressure-launch missile launchers that can double as swords, or be combined to form a single naginata-like weapon.
-: For the [[Hasbro]] ''Robots in Disguise'' line, Megatron was released using the later "Devil Gigatron" version of the mold, meaning it was capable of transforming into four more forms, though these were never advertised.  The blades of his missiles were also rounded off a bit more to comply with [[for safety reasons|safety standards]].
-: This mold (the Hasbro version) was also used to make [[BotCon 2005]]'s [[Deathsaurus]].
-*'''Galvatron''' (Ultra, 2000/2001)
-:''Japanese ID number'': '''D-013'''
-[[Image:RIDGalvatron.jpg|left|thumb|150px]]
-[[Image:RIDGalvatron2.jpg|right|thumb|150px]]
-: [[Redeco]]ed into a color scheme more traditionally associated with "dead" in Japan, "Devil Gigatron" was also [[retool]]ed to allow four more configurations, making him the Transformer with the most official alt-modes in a single body.  Aside from the original six configurations, he can now also turn into a mammoth, a hydroplane "transport", a winged griffin, and a one-headed dragon.
-: This version was used for all Hasbro-released incarnations of the mold, and would presumably be used for all future Takara ones too.
-{{-}}
-* '''Megatron Megabolt''' (Deluxe, 2002)
-: Originally developed for the ''[[Beast Machines]]'' toy line but shelved, it finally saw release as a Kay-Bee [[exclusive]] alongside [[Jhiaxus (Universe)|Jhiaxus]]. Megabolt Megatron transforms into a head (its design based on the [[Grand Mal]] with scuttling spider-leg action, opening jaw for chip-eating action, and a hidden spring-loaded missile launcher in its mouth. In robot mode, the launcher swings over his head, placing a battle mask down over his face.
-: If you remove the toy's spider-legs in head mode, it actually fits into the head socket to the [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]] main body quite well.
-: This mold was also used to make [[Megabolt]], and ''finally'' as the guy it was originally supposed to be in ''[[Beast Wars Returns]]'' as "[[Megatron (BW)|Megahead Megatron]]".
