for Ratchet in TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON Alternate Version
Suggested by kinararazan
After the negative reception of Transformers Revenge Of The Fallen and mainly due to the negative stereotypes with Skids and Mudflap, Crude portrayal of women, black people, little people, and unfunny adult humor, Paramount and Michael Bay decided to make an Alternate Version for Transformers Dark Of The Moon. With the Alternate Version made changes were made by giving two lead roles to Yumiko Shaku along with Shia Labeouf and several characters having their voice actors recasted. The alternate version would make the the movie more serious and be given a dark tone unlike it's predecessors and would cut out much of the humor seen in Michael Bay's original direction. Movie Premise: 4 years after the events of Revenge Of The Fallen, Yukio Minami, N.E.S.T. field commander, takes part with Sam Witwicky in the final days of the war between Autobots and Decepticons as they battle to obtain a powerful device that can restore their Planet, Cybertron. But the Decepticons are planning to take over earth and it's up to Yukio, N.E.S.T. Sam Witwicky, Mikaela Banes and the Autobots to stop this threat. Mikaela Banes stays as Sam’s girlfriend in Alternate Version, however her actress “Megan Fox” has been replaced by another actress as Carly does not exist in this version.
