Michael Bay has updated information on his site concerning the teaser and full
length trailers
for the upcoming Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen movie!

So,

The Super Bowl spot is coming Sunday in the third Quarter (few minutes into the
quarter
slot). The spot will be online a few minutes after that - The full length teaser
trailer will only
be on Friday the Thirteenth. It will not hit the internet until a week later.
The Teaser really
only teases stuff - I'm holding so much stuff back from the final trailers
because I personally
hate going to movies where you have seen it all.

Tell me what you think,

Michael

Make sure to tune into the Superbowl during the third quarter to catch the
teaser!

The Chevy Beat and Trax robot modes from Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen
have been
revealed at the ROTF game site!! Once you join, you can check out Skids &
Mudflap!

http://www.transformersgame.com/

Join up today

The UK Toy Fair 2009 kicked off today, and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
was
represented in rare style. Hisstank and 2005 Boards Member streetfield1 was in
attendance and has shared a huge wealth of information with us.

- Devastator will be around about 2 feet tall and built like a gorilla.
- The Human Alliance Bumblebee that we have been seeing recently will be the
first
release in his range.
- No toys of the Fallen at present.
- There will be new Robot Replicas of Ironhide, Ratchet and Starscream.
- More information on the RPM - Robot Powered Machines - line. The cars are "Hot
Wheels
style" and are mainly Autobots, with their robot modes embossed on the bottom.
The
racetrack has tracks all over the place, and instead of the central "mountain"
you
sometimes see on these tracks, you've got Devastator!
- There will be a radio controlled Optimus Prime truck with Peter Cullen
soundclips.
- The tank mode Megatron toy (which version is not specified) was on display,
although
nobody was available to comment on whether or not he is in the film.


- Devastator is... devastating! The mixing drum in his chest becomes a massive
turbine
grinder. It creates a turbine effect, sucking everything in Devastator's path
up, and
spitting it out of his back.
- Wheelie is effectively confirmed as a remote controlled car, in line with
other rumors we
have heard recently.
- Legions of Decepticon drones, resembling Frenzy, will cause carnage in the
Witwicky
household.
- Sam fights for his life on top of a car against Pretender Alice.
- Captain Lennox also gets to see some serious action against the Decepticons,
with full
helicopter backup.

I sent the link to my dad.  Hope he likes it.

Empire has posted an exclusive look at the official images of the Bumblebee and
Soundwave
figures that will be released as part of the Preview Wave for the Transformers:
Revenge of the
Fallen toyline. The images confirm that Soundwave at least has a Cybertronian
jet alternate
mode and provides the best look yet at the Bumblebee figure's remolded chest,
right
arm/hand, and head. These two figures are expected to be available before the
toyline
release date in late May, although no official word has been provided regarding
release date

http://www.empireonline.com/news/story.asp?NID=24073

A few tidbits from Orci from Don Murphy's message board
Some bits from Orci on Don Murphy's forum;

*He doesn't directly answer if most of the Decepticons are CG (which some fans
have
speculated is why we haven't seen much of them on set), but does say this would
allow for
more scenes added in post-production, which they are mulling over;
*When posed with the follow-up question about how these would impact the film,
he
replied "[they] serve fan boy goodness. One of the scenes we're mulling over was
Bay's
idea, and he pitched it as, 'you and the fans are gonna love this...'"
*Starscream's character is "finally" more G1.
*Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura's comments in Empire that there are around 40
robots
was not an exaggeration.
*He reiterated his desire already expressed at TFW2005 that he and Kurtzman will
probably do commentaries on both films for iTunes.

Thanks to TFW2005

Clearer pics of the Sam Bumblebee figure set thanks to the Arker

http://www.the-arker.com/bbs2/dispbbs.asp?boardid=10&id=332&star=1&page=1

Thanks again to TFW2005 for this rumor on Transformers animated i personally
like the
show so i hope it aint true
Over the course of the past week, TFW2005.COM has been digging and pressing our
sources to find out if the rumor we received through an anonymous tip (which
cites un-
named sources from within Cartoon Network) was true or not - if Transformers
Animated
was concluding at the end of its third season.

Probably Jolt.  But isn't he supposed to be a helicopter and a Mini-con???

The Arker has posted up images of two brand new, never-before-seen Transformers
Revenge of the Fallen toys. The first is the Human Alliance set, featuring an
all-new version
of Bumblebee who comes with an articulated Sam Whitwicky mini-figure, who can
sit inside
Bumblebee in vehicle mode. Bumblebee also features a flip-down battlemask, a
flip out
cannon on his left arm and a missile launcher on his right. The back of the
packaging also
mentions that "additional figures are sold separately" suggesting that there are
going to be
more "human ally" mini figures produced!
The second new toy to be revealed is Ironhide's Revenge of the Fallen toy. An
update of the
first movie toy, Ironhide features new detailing to reflect his appearance in
Revenge of the
Fallen, and new more accurate cannons, which can also mount on the back of his
vehicle
mode.
