An article about recent developments surrounding the Transformers movie has appeared on the site of
CHUD - Cinematic Happenings Under Development. The screenwriter appearently contacted the site and had the following to say, as quoted from the
article
"Mr. Spielberg is producing and heavily involved in the film's development. It'll be true to the source material with a nice, light touch, a cast of human characters partnered with the Transformers, and big robot action. I mean, c'mon, they're paying me to write giant robot battles. I'm no otaku, but that's a good day in any geek writer's life. Anyone worried that we won't honor the source material can rest easy."
The news recently that John Roger would write the screen play for the movie, was not well received by the majority of the Transformers Fan-community, based on poor results in the eyes of these fans of movies like Catwoman and The Core.

The artist also known as Megatron has recently given a few interviews about his work as voice actor for series including Transformers. Another one of these interviews has popped up over at
Toon Zone Forum. In the
article, Kaye talks about why he got into the business, about the work he has done in the field and of course his work as Megatron for the different series of Transformers.
"Well, I personally wasn’t a big fan of Armada. It was okay, but I’m a bigger fan of Energon. It’s a little closer to the type of Megatron from Beast Wars. And there’re less kids in Energon. Megatron seems to have more of a relationship between other characters, like how he gets mad at his minions. Doing the Energon series is like he’s back to his old self just with the animation already drawn."

TRANSFORMERS: SUPERLINK (ENERGON)
EPISODE NO. 42: "Sinking! Miranda II"
Planet Cybertron is blanketed by the Destron's energon Gas. This means the whole planet is been undergoing the occupation of the Destron's. Convoy who is on the Miranda II above the atmosphere has no room to manuever, Kicker & the Omnicons who are not affected by the energon, plans to infiltrate inside the planet to build a work unit. On the otherhand, Galvatron who occupies the control room, with the suggestion of Six Shot, begins to move the whole planet of Cybertron. It is uncertain what will happen which existed previously ...

Sixshot discovered and reported to Galvatron that he is able to channel the Super Energon and move the planet itself, Galvatron commanded to initiate the thrusters and intend to move Cybertron to the star system where Alpha-Q created, intending to destroy each and every planet still existing there. Heeding his command, Sixshot activated the planet thrusters, the underground resistance led by Wingsaber, Rad and Dr. Jones, even everyone on Miranda II orbiting Cybertron, were surprised when the planet started to move...

[not in clip: detecting Miranda II in the orbit, Sixshot fired a shot from the energon tower, hoping to destroyGrand Convoy and avenge his brother. Furious, Galvatron knocked him off and reprimanded him that he will tell Sixshot what to do, he controls his every action, no excuse for taking his own initiative.]
With the location of Miranda II detected, Galvatron led the rest of the Decepticons (except Sixshot) on an full scale assault. The Autobots. preparing the attack, actually was planning to use this as a chance to insert a party to the surface, consists of Kicker and the Omnicons, who were unaffected by the polluted energon covering the planet.

Inspite of Galvatron's punishment and warning about taking action without approval from Galvatron, Sixshot still fired on the ship, hoping to hit Grand Convoy. The shot damaged the ship and caused it to decent into the dangerous energon cloud, the Autobots, not shielded from thiskind of energon, were quickly overloaded, knowing the ship is as good as gone, Galvatron and the Decepticons leave the battle in order not to be caught in the explosion, but Galvatron asked Grand Convoy to survived the crash so he can finish him off himself. With the Decepticons gone, Grand Convoy ordered the rest to abandon ship.

Overdrive stayed on the ship, trying to find a spot on the surface without any Decepticons in order to let Kicker and the Omnicons drop in safely. Grand Convoy stayed with him, Overdrive found the spot and gave the signal to the drop party, who immediately plunged towards the surface on Cybertron. With their objective met, Grand Convoy asked to give full power to the thrusters, hoping to bring Miranda II out of the energon clouds and into space, however badly damaged, the ship was unable to makeit back into space, as the ship started to plunge Convoy and Overdrive.

As the Decepticons returned to their base, Galvatron did not showed mercy for Sixshot's insurbordination, as he bashed Sixshot around (while Snowstorm and Irontread watched gleefully), Sixshot rebuked that Galvatron still needs his intelligence to work on the system, and Galvatron will begged for his help later if he continues to mistreat him now, although Sixshot never get to finish his "threat", in mid sentence, Galvatron punched him right in the face!!
Meanwhile, even Miranda II crashed on the surface of Cybertron, it did not explode, Kicker, taking this as a sign of hope, intends to use it as a symbol for the rest of the Autobot forces on Cybertron to gather.
