::: That's it. It's just something posted by somebody to some board or other. Even if it comes from the production company, it could be a sample sheet or the cast could have been changed after it was produced. We have no way of authenticating it at all. --] 13:26, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
:::: It was taken off the set, and TFW2005 is a reliable source: it's shown on the DVD, and Bay and ] noted they and other fansites found every piece of concept art etc. and they would even receive feedback. A callsheet is much more reliable than any rumour, and considering fans now know Jetfire, Arcee, the Twins and the Constructicons are in the picture, fighting it'd be futile. ] (]) 16:47, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

::::: According to a note on the home page, TFW2005 is simply "the largest fan community related to Transformers toys." This doesn't sound to me like anything resembling a reliable source. Moreover the actual document cited seems to be an attachment to a forum post. I could register at the forum myself and post a document. Would that mean you could cite my document on Misplaced Pages?

::::: What DVD is this call sheet shown on? Obviously we don't want a fight, but unless we get a reliable source for this claim it (and the puported call sheet posted on a fan forum) will have to go. --] 18:08, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

I am nominating this article for A-Class review because after some time since the movie came out, the article has achieved a certain state of maturity which I think entitles it for A-class status. uKER (talk) 05:27, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
