{{bigquote|Guys, in this next draft really take your time describing the transformation. Savor it; spend a paragraph on like the different things you might be able to see.

'''Steven Spielberg''' ([[December 18]], 1946- ) is an acclaimed American director and producer. He is the executive producer of [[Dreamworks]]'s [[Live-action film series|live-action film series]].

Spielberg, other producers had the same idea of bringing the Transformers movie,when all was said and done, the creative force behind the band formed a sort of dream team of Hollywood production.
He joined their talents Spielberg, DiBonaventura (Shooter), Tom DeSanto (of X-Men series), Don Murphy (Murderers by Nature) and Ian Bryce (Saving Private Ryan.
To meet this goal while leaving satisfied fans of these robots, Spielberg and his team decided to find a director with sufficient skill and experience to take on the challenge of combining a fantastic story, special effects and lots of action.
I thought Michael (Bay) because I consider it perfect for Transformers. You need to touch and a clear vision of how it could be this film, "says Spielberg.

He and his children are fans of ''[[The Transformers (cartoon)|The Transformers]]'' cartoon and [[The Transformers (toyline)|toys]]. It was his idea to have the [[Transformers (2007)|first film]] focus on [[Sam Witwicky]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]'s friendship, whom Spielberg described as his favorite Transformer on the film's DVD: this "boy and his car" approach was what attracted [[Roberto Orci]] and [[Alex Kurtzman]] to write the films. Spielberg gave feedback on each draft of the script. He has also been responsible for sheperding [[Shia LaBeouf]] to stardom.

==Notes==

When the [[AllSpark (Movie)|All Spark]] runs low on energy, only the destruction of a star can replenish it. In order to harness the power of stars, [[Transformer|workers]] in service to the All Spark built ''' solar harvesters'''.

In the distant past, the mysterious relic known as the All Spark cube created life on the planet [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] and terraformed its surface to make the world suitable for habitation for its creations, the [[Thirteen original Transformers|Thirteen Primes]]. However, this effort depleted the All Spark, and the power from a star was the one thing that could re-energize it. The Thirteen could travel dimensions, but they needed help locating stars and properly utilizing stellar energy. The cube created a servant race of transforming workers who would seek out stars and build devices called solar harvesters to aid in collecting the solar energy. The Thirteen ruled these "[[Transformer]]s" with their descendants, known as the [[Dynasty of Primes]], protecting Cybertron and the AllSpark while exploring the galaxy and searching for stars to harvest. The Primes recognized that the solar harvesters could have devastating consequences for worlds without stars, so they set out with a single rule: Never take a star from a life-giving world. To further prevent misuse, the Primes guarded the [[Matrix of Leadership]] created by the All Spark, which would serve as the key for the harvesters.

One "[[Jetfire (ROTF)|Seeker]]" discovered [[Sun|a suitable star]] for their purpose and led his masters and the [[Constructicon (ROTF)|builders]] to the [[Earth|third planet]] of its star system. The builders constructed the harvester and prepared to drain the Sun's energy, but it was discovered that this world contained life. Twelve of the Primes refused to utilize the harvester, for the process would destroy this world. However, the remaining being felt no such obligation to protect life and merely wanted all of the All Spark's energy for himself. The Prime killed eleven of his brothers, but the last stole the Matrix and hid it in a tomb. The rogue Prime, now known as [[The Fallen]], then returned to Cybertron and destroyed the rest of the Dynasty, along with the [[sarcophagus|sarcophagi]] of his brothers to prevent their return, but he expended much of his energy and withdrew to his own sarcophagus to heal. It was here that he discovered that his twelve brothers could still act, for they sealed him in his sarcophagus. The Dynasty of Primes passed into the realm of myth, while the harvester left on Earth was eventually hidden by the [[human|native sentient inhabitants]]. When [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]] launched the AllSpark into space, the Cube began searching for a planet with a harvester. {{storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}} {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen Movie Adaptation issue 3|Revenge of the Fallen #3}}

Thousands of years later, [[Decepticon]]s under the command of [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] arrived on Earth in search of the harvester. {{Storylink|Alliance issue 2|Alliance #4}}

The [[Seven Primes]] came to [[Earth]] around 17,000 BC. Although they had sworn never to take a life in their pursuit of [[energon (fuel)|energon]], one of their kind hated the [[human]] inhabitants of the planet and was going to activate the [[solar harvester]] until his brothers stopped him by stealing the [[Matrix of Leadership]] needed to power it. They sealed it in a [[Tomb of the Primes|tomb]] made of their own bodies.

In 2009 AD, [[The Fallen]] Prime returned to Earth, seeking to use his machine two years after the [[AllSpark (Movie)|All Spark]]'s apparent destruction. [[Sam Witwicky]] uncovered the tomb and recovered the Matrix, which he intended to use to resurrect [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], the only one who could kill The Fallen. [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]] excavated the harvester from the [[Great Pyramid of Giza]] before he was destroyed, and The Fallen snatched the Matrix to activate his machine, but Optimus had returned, and he combined with [[Jetfire (ROTF)|Jetfire]] to destroy the harvester. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

* Yeah, it's the same idea as the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|Generation 1 cartoon]]'s [[Solar Needle]]. ''That doesn't make it a reference!''
