Something to do with some car people iirc.

Not sure why that's popped into my head though.

Should imagine they would be able to negotiate round it tbf, as would be in both the producers and Hasbro's interests to have him in the film.

Not especially. This film already shown they don't give much of a toss about detail, relation to the cartoons etc, so they'll probably not bother.

Not sure who exactly owns the copyright, but Hot Rod hasn't been used in the comics/cartoons for a long time, they used Hot Shot in the cartoons and Hot Rodimus for the toys

Exactly, why would they bother paying for something when they could just use another name thats been used for years

[retired_itsthewitchinme]

Hot Rod is, and always will be, PAP.

Dinobots in any sequel would be awesome though. It must be done

Can we persuade every movie studio bar the Sony ones to back HD-DVD and not blu-ray then please?

The less chance of Michael Bay ever being allowed to direct again the better :thup:

[retired_civilian888]

Yeah hope this is true about Bay

Kevin Smith would be great, he must like Transformers enough to mention it in Clerks 2

That was for the script btw, didn't really make that clear
