“	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. I want when ILM gets it for them not to be able to think the head can just pop out of its ass.	”

Notes

• He and his children are fans of The Transformers cartoon and toys. It was his idea to have the first film focus on Sam Witwicky and 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 shepherding Shia LaBeouf to stardom, and firing Megan Fox.
• Spielberg previously partnered with Kenner on the Indiana Jones and Jurassic Park toylines.
• He seems to like Devastator.
• Throughout the '90s, Frank Welker was the official voice of Steven Spielberg in all his animated appearances in shows like Tiny Toon Adventures, Animaniacs and Freakazoid!. All of which, were produced by Spielberg himself.
