Transformers the live action movie

This is the reason time travel should be invented. Sure Megatron won't be a gun (the rumours say he'll be a tank) and Soundwave is rumoured to be a helicopter of all things, but as long as the essence of what makes Transformers great is there, that's fine with me (kinda).

Here's what I know so far. Spielberg is somehow involved (producing I think). Michael Bay is directing (the guy who did Bad boys and The Island, two films that don't scream giant robots). They've started shooting, but all I've read is that they've been shooting various vehicles. This gives me a bit of hope since it shouldn't all be CGI then. Other than that I've been desperate to stay away from any spoilers.

Oh well, just over a year to go.
