"Transformers 2" Director Michael Bay has gone on the record and said that "Transformers 2" will not just set up "Transformers 3." The director told MTV that it would not be like other planned trilogies such as "The Matrix" and "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchises, where the second films ended with cliffhangers.

“You know how those sequels they do the second one so you go see the third one? ["Transformers 2�] is it." He continues that the "[f]irst one was just introducing, setting up stuff, so we can go a lot farther. Let’s just say [this] is not a lame sequel."

The discussion regarding a possible trilogy of the giant robot franchise is not a new one. However, it is the first time we have heard anything about it for a while. All the way back in November 2006, Shia LaBeouf stated in an interview that he has signed a contract that has attached him to the "Transformers" live action films through to "Transformers 3."

Mr. Bay also comments about what to expect from the robots in the film: "The robots are going to surprise a lot of people because we go with a lot of different levels."

Roberto Orci, one-third of the film's screenwriting team, has been said that the cast may total up to 20 robots.
