As "Transformers 3" film will focus on the characters, two robots are going to be updated. In an an exclusive interview Sunday, February 28 at the Visual Effects Society Awards in Century City, California, animation supervisor Scott Benza revealed that Optimus Prime and Bumblebee are going to get makeovers to adjust the characters` development.

"Our two lead characters, Optimus and Bumblebee, needed to be updated for the next chapter in the `Transformers` series," he said as quoted by SCI FI Wire, before explaining how Bumblebee will be different in the third film "Bumblebee`s matured a little bit, so I would just say look for subtle changes to his physique that have him look more mature."

As for Optimus, the makeover will make the character looks more like a badass as Scott claimed, "We always want the robots to look cooler than they did the last time, so he`s going to look a little more heroic, I would say." However, he added that the changes to Optimus may be unnoticed, saying "[Optimus will have] little tiny things that maybe the average viewer isn`t going to notice but probably the fanboys will."

"You actually will run into pieces that are maybe always in the way, and wouldn`t it be nice if that part wasn`t there? Maybe you make a shift in the shoulder, in the chest or what have you," he further detailed about Optimus` updates. "So it might be proportioning, but it also might be for usability, so [the animators`] task could be easier, too."
