Transformers Movie update

The latest info to just hit the net: No Soundwave?
Nevermore, a man who collects rumors in larger numbers than toys, has posted a massive update from a dozen sources about producer Don Murphy’s panel at TransformersCon in Toronto. He spoke of General Motors being involved, a battle between Scorponok and the US military in the desert, and confirmation on the use of both the classic transforming sound and the some form of the original theme.
Last week, we got first word on casting from IGN. In addition to Shia “LaBeouf”; Jon Voight, Bernie Mac, and John Tuturro are supposedly cast or close to being cast. Michael Clarke Duncan is also mentioned as US Army Warrant Officer Figueroa, a definite nod to the fan-favorite Transformers comic artist.
Last but not least, Quint from Aint-it-Cool spent some time with Michael Bay talking Transformers, and they speak of some concept art, a few plot points, and further enforce that the US Military is heavily involved and we can count on real tanks and planes being used.
