[[Hot Shot (Armada)|HoT sHot]] liKs '''jAM'''. yuM!

=== Ahem. ===

Just before the [[Armada (toyline)|Armada toyline]]'s imminent release in 2002, scans of the first pack-in [[Armada (mini-comic)|mini-comic]] were put online both at [http://www.transformers.com Transformers.com] and at [http://www.bwtf.com Ben's World of Transformers], the latter of which received early production samples from Hasbro for review. The original comic was trilingual, forcing the [[Chris Saraccini|writer]] to fit three languages worth of dialogue into tiny word bubbles, resulting in short and often stilted prose. Because of these limitations, many found the mini-comic to be a bit lacking. The British fan Yartek took it upon himself to rewrite the dialogue as nonsense, portraying Hot Shot as a mentally challenged, tortured freak of nature, famously proclaiming such things as "mY liFE iS PaIn" and "[[Kibble|WhY mY ShOuLdErS hUrT?]]" in randomly uppercase and lowercase letters. (This was, perhaps, Yartek's commentary on the art.)

The rewritten mini-comic proved to be wildly popular in the fandom and grew to be one of the most persistent memes through the duration of Armada and beyond. When [[Ben Yee]] overhauled his toy review system, he commissioned Hot Shot fan [[David Willis]] to create a series of images based on the mini-comic. Ironically, the Hot Shot toy itself rated poorly on Ben Yee's scale.

Hot Shot's love of jaAm has not been acknowledged yet by any official material. The first [[Dreamwave]] [[Energon]] mini-comic did include both Hot Shot and a pool of yellow-green liquid energon,
however. Some take this as a visual reference to the jaAm parody, but no overt reference was made.

On May 30, 2007, [[DreamWorks]] greenlit two sequels to ''[[Transformers (2007)|Transformers]].'' The first of the two, tentatively named '''''Transformers 2''''' is currently scheduled to be released June 26, 2009.<ref>[http://www.allspark.com/news/transformers-2-june-26-2009-20070925.html The Allspark: Transformers 2: June 26, 2009?]</ref> Though [[Roberto Orci]] stated that the Writers Guild strike would likely delay Transformers 2's release, Michael Bay refuted this, claiming the movie was still on schedule<ref>[http://www.shootfortheedit.com/forum/showthread.php?p=6200#post6200 Robert Orci discusses the strike & TF2]</ref>. The reason behind Bay's confidence was discovered by Orci shortly after the strike ended. The director had apparently taken the outline the writers had handed in the night before the strike, and begun movie prep based on it.<ref>[http://www.donmurphy.net/board/showthread.php?t=24357&page=4 Don Murphy message board - Orci on the aftermath of the strike]</ref>

Current information includes:
* [[Megan Fox]], and [[Peter Cullen]] are signed on to return.{{fact}}
* Producer [[Tom DeSanto]] has envisioned a storyline introducing the [[Constructicons]], [[Dinobots]], and [[Soundwave]], though Bay has since stated that the Dinobots will not feature.{{fact}}
* Writers Roberto Orci and [[Alex Kurtzman]] are recruiting [[Ehren Kruger]] to help them write the screenplay. [[Michael Bay]] and producers [[Don Murphy]], [[Tom DeSanto]], and [[Lorenzo di Bonaventura]] are also returning, as well as actor [[Shia LaBeouf]]. <ref>[http://www.superherohype.com/news/topnews.php?id=6372 Transformers 2 Writers Confirmed]</ref>
* The producers expect that with a bigger budget and the special effects worked out, the Transformers will have a larger role and more screen time.{{fact}}
