My favourite transformers are not going to be in the movie if your info is correct, seeking 
Blur - my alltime fav.
Soundwave - so cool
Grimlock, Slag, Sludge, Snarl and Swoop (good ol' Dinobots).

my info is 99% correct
soundwave was originally going to be in the movie, but they changed him to the character frenzy that will be in there instead.
they realize that they cant put soundwave in this movie and keep the fans happy as there wont be any mass shifting involved, and no one wants a 4 foot soundwave
they plan on making sequels and soundwave will be in them, they just need to figure out what he can transform into
i dont know if you remember, but you probably do, if you remember the dinobots names, but frenzy is one of the cassetes that ejected from soundwave...i believe its rumored that soundwave will be talked about in this movie

For some reason I can't see a serious Transformer's movie being any good. The story wouldn't make sense in the real world.

That's how I feel. It'd be alright if it was intentionally campy or if it was totally animated, but being live-action and serious just doesn't fit transformers.

i have seen some of the cartoons i think they are funny. sure they are serious in some parts but they are more fun
If anyone has seen the DVD movie called Ultimate Avengers: The Movie I think the transformers would be better dealt with in that form.
i read the script today...most likely not the final draft, but sounds like a good movie to me
they dont follow the exact story line as the original cartoons do, i think this movie is going to make lots and lots of money
