From Slashfilm:
Transformers 2 screenwriter Roberto Orci has made an interesting comment on Don Murphy’s message board:
“I’d love and think we could almost barely manage ten on each side, with some front and center and others as more supporting.”
Translation: There will be almost 20 Transforming Robots in disguise in the upcoming Michael Bay sequel!
Fans were worried that the sequel would be more human focused than the original, despite comments from Bay himself. Although I’m note quite sure 20 Transformers is a step in the right direction. The biggest fan criticism o the first film was that you didn’t get to spend enough time with the Transformers as personalities. And now with almost 20 of them on the big screen, alongside the human characters, who knows if the sequel will be any different. Although on the other hand this could mean more big robot action sequences, which is always cool.
