Heh no kidding, and I've seen the pilot a heap of times. I feel so ashamed :csad:

Dont feel that way....I should for knowing such a worthless little fact:whatever:

[DOG LIPS]

He had 1 line in the pilot....he was in casset mode and inside of Soundwave but he had a voice and he spoke.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yVXXyN-UXQ

That was.... insane. :o

[cosmicherosa]

That was.... insane. :o

We're ANGRY again?!?!?!? :o

[sto_vo_kor_2000]

That was.... insane. :o

Maybe so....but you cant deny it:grin:

[Avangarde]

Heh, so who was credited as voicing Ravage for one line?

[DOG LIPS]

Animated series

Like the other cassette Decepticons in the animated series, Ravage was strongly tied to Soundwave, spending the vast majority of time not battling stored in his chest compartment. Notably lacking in the power of speech (barring one unusual incident in "More Than Meets the Eye, Part 3", although the incident could be accredited to the fact Ravage was merged inside Soundwave at that time), Ravage seemed marginally more intelligent than the animal he resembled — capable of basic deductive reasoning and the ability to manipulate simple mechanisms — but was treated by the Decepticons in much the same manner as a human being treats a pet.


From Wiki ^

No Voice actor listed.

[Avangarde]

That's quite an angle on Ravage.

[sto_vo_kor_2000]

Heh, so who was credited as voicing Ravage for one line?

I believe it was Frank Welker.

[DOG LIPS]

Anyone remember Russian-accent Ravage from Beast Wars? Let's hope Bay doesn't see that. :o

[sto_vo_kor_2000]

Anyone remember Russian-accent Ravage from Beast Wars? Let's hope Bay doesn't see that. :o

I actually thought he was cool.

[DOG LIPS]

I actually thought he was cool.

His death scene was awesome. :woot:

[sto_vo_kor_2000]

His death scene was awesome. :woot:
Yep yep:grin:

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

I'm hoping he's not Ravage too. Ravage barely talked, throughout his entire history in the cartoon. It'd funny to have him suddenly articulating himself perfectly, as a pretty college girl.

He'd be small too, if he were Alice. [/B]An ideal size would be Skorponok-size, so he can still threaten the smaller bots like Bumblebee[B].
If he were Alice size, he'd be smaller than a real life Panther!

Bob Orci is saying that Alice's Pretender shell may be holographic

Thinking about it a Bumblebee vs Scorponok fight would be awesome to see on screen.

New preview of Defiance posted. Looks interesting. Possibly going to tell us the Fallen's origin?

I Hope we see something like this in the movie. But they speak Cybertronian. with Subtitles. I don't wwant English talkers on Cybertron :hehe:

[Golgo-13]

Definately. I actually enjoyed 'hearing' the way they talked in Cybertronian in the first movie.

[LightningFlash]

Well they can't really talk in Cybertronian in a comic.


So it seems it's going with the whole Lord High Protector Megatron route from the first movie prequel? I didn't like that, nor did I like the entire prequel for the film. It was something that you didn't really have to read in order to watch Transformers.

[Alex The Great]

Definately. I actually enjoyed 'hearing' the way they talked in Cybertronian in the first movie.
Same Here.

[ffejeromdiks]

So after reading the Defiance first issue, does this mean Starscream is going to appear with the cybertronian symbols carved into his armor?
I think it's a cool Idea, I'm just not sure If I want him to look any different.

[Venom160]

:eek: You already have the Defiance issue! Could you give us alittle spoiler? Does anything major happen?

[ffejeromdiks]

AH CRAP, sorry, I called it Defiance instead of Alliance, my bad.
They both end in "ance" :P

[Cth]

I'm trying to remember where I read that, but yes.

[dark_b]

is there any chance that there will be a flashback from cybertron? i would love to see 2 minutes of them fighting on their planet.

[Venom]

I'm trying to remember where I read that, but yes.

On the Alliance comic inker's deviant art page.

[Alex The Great]

When some dude from TF2205 or whatever it's called asked one of the writers about that, he said ''no comment''


That usally means yes:hehe:

[LightningFlash]

Transformers: Defiance

spoilers:

After Starscream gets in a scuffle while researching a Nebula system, an alien reptilian-like species decides to attack Cybertron, while Arcee along with others discover that golden statue of the Decepticon logo(seen on the cover; but I got the B cover instead...also, it looked like there were Constructicons there).

Bumblebee and Cliffjumper are protecting the Allspark(they're both named Guardians), when the new aliens attack SimFur.

Starscream, Barricade and Skorponok lead an army to fight against the aliens when Megatron runs in, taking out their forces and then goes back to his living arrangement, where the golden statue has been taken(Optimus has it removed from the ground due to Megatron's orders).

It ends with Megatron becoming weak, as the statue is becoming stronger. And it shows that next issue is when Megaton becomes evil; so it seems Fallen "called" him to become the leader of Decepticons.

There ya go.

[Golgo-13]

Nice, i hope we get that back story in the actual movie....

[Alex The Great]

So Fallen Made Megs evil?


Awseme!

[Venom160]

I like the concept. Its better than the "he just suddenly turned on us" scenario that they established from before.

[cosmicherosa]

Adds weight to the "I'm sorry brother" line from Optimus from the first movie. Could also be a negative and show Megatron as being a weak-minded wuss.

[LightningFlash]

Yes, it does seem that Fallen does turn Megatron evil. Which makes me think that Fallen wanted the Allspark to himself, and if everything went as plan, Megatron would've taken the Allspark to himself, even though Fallen wanted Megs to bring it to Earth(or so that's what it seems like Fallen's plan was).

But yes, it does add a lot more depth to the first film; actually makes the first film much more interesting.

Sounds like The Fallen was the one who made Megatron turn, I like the way they are linking events in the sequel to the first movie, and they seem to be doing it well. Though I hope Megatron stays as evil as ever in future movies.

[LightningFlash]

I hope Megatron stays evil as well. If the Autobots do indeed bring him back to defeat Fallen, I hope Megs backstabs them.

A Fallen/Megatron battle would be sick too.

[Avangarde]

I get the feeling TF2 may clean up a few plot holes from the first movie, and as cosmichero stated, add weight to characters.

[scatterax]

I get the feeling TF2 may clean up a few plot holes from the first movie, and as cosmichero stated, add weight to characters.

which plot wholes do you think it would fix?

[LightningFlash]

Mostly the Decepticon's backstory.

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

I hope Megatron stays evil as well. If the Autobots do indeed bring him back to defeat Fallen, I hope Megs backstabs them.

A Fallen/Megatron battle would be sick too.

I hope he backstabs whoever he ends up allying himself with, whether its the Autobots or The Fallen, it will just be awesome to see he was evil without The Fallen's influence.

I get the feeling TF2 may clean up a few plot holes from the first movie, and as cosmichero stated, add weight to characters.

Lets hope so, its looking that way at the moment, hopefully it is one of those sequels that actually manages to make the first movie better.

[scatterax]

It probably won't be that much deeper than the first. I'm expecting another roller coaster ride. I mean, I do think there will be more backstory and character development than the 1st, but not a whole lot more. this movies main focus is still going to be explosions and fun. (instead of character development and plot.) Don't get your hopes up by expecting Michael bay to change his ways now.

[LightningFlash]

It's not Bay; it's the writers.

[The Chibi Kiriyama]

Actually, it is Bay in this case. He wrote a scriptment for the film which the final draft was based off of.

[LightningFlash]

Yah, an outline, but I bet it wasn't much for detail...but if the second movie actually has development, do we praise Bay or the other writers?

[Avangarde]

which plot wholes do you think it would fix?

Mostly related stuff to the Allspark.

[LightningFlash]

I am thinking that the Fallen will be calling out to the Allspark.

Perfect plan really: Fallen leaves Cybertron, becomes a God to the humans(maybe with MORE Transformers?). Something happens to the Fallen, he turns out to just be a history story. Megatron gets involved with Fallen's plan, as Fallen wants the Allspark. Megatron wants its power, and tries to gain in. Optimus sends the Cube to outer space, when Fallen calls for it.

[scatterax]

what if it's megatron and the autobots vs the fallen and the decepticons? like maybe megatron only took over after the fallen had left; and when the fallen comes back he takes over from starscream and leads the decepticons. so megs wanting to regain his role of leadership would join w/ the autobots to fight the fallen, only to betray them later.

...and than in movie 3 starscream would want to regain his right to cammand the decepticons by betraying megatron. (u know, cuz what goes around comes around:yay:)

fyi, I know that's not news, i'm just tryin to throw some (semi) new ideas out there.

[dark_b]

i dont know. i just can not imagine meatron with hes big body with hes mean voice standing next to Sam,OP,.....

[ffejeromdiks]

I hope Bay doesn't go with Generic movie sequel and have the two good and evils team up to take down the greater evil, I mean, Megatron should worship the fallen, and then get his ass kicked by the Fallen when he is released, something that truly shows how powerful he is.

[LightningFlash]

How is that generic?

It's only happened in one sequel, X2.

[Venom]

I do agree it's a pretty cliche idea that's happened in many stories. I can't name many though. But off the top of my head, Blade 2 had it too.

[sto_vo_kor_2000]

I do agree it's a pretty cliche idea that's happened in many stories. I can't name many though. But off the top of my head, Blade 2 had it too.

Not to mention how many times its happened in Dragon Ball Z or Star trek.

Bad guys teaming up with or becoming friends with the good guys is pretty common these days.

[scatterax]

ok, well what if megatron is on his own team?

[LightningFlash]

I am fine with Megatron teaming up with the Autobots.

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

I have just been thinking, with Jazz, Prime's first lieutenant, dying in the first movie, wouldnt it have made sense that Prowl be in this to take his place?

Also, Megatron teaming up with the Autobots sounds awesome to me, no matter how cliche it is.

[scatterax]

I am fine with Megatron teaming up with the Autobots.

me too. as long as he doesn't officially become an autobot, and the autobot's aren't stupid enough to assume that it's a permanent team up, I'll be fine w/ it.

I could see the autobots preferring the lesser of 2 evils. (like when they teamed up w/ the decepticons to fight unicron in that 1 cartoon.)

[sto_vo_kor_2000]

I have just been thinking, with Jazz, Prime's first lieutenant, dying in the first movie, wouldnt it have made sense that Prowl be in this to take his place?

I dont see why.

Althou it was implied on the tech specs that Prowl was 2nd in command he was never really displayed as such in the G1 cartoon and not so much either in the G1 U.S. comics.

I meant armada. at least I think they teamed up. (I never actually watched that show.)

[sto_vo_kor_2000]

They did team up in the Unicron trilogy.[trilogy=Armada,Energon,Cybertron]

[LightningFlash]

I have just been thinking, with Jazz, Prime's first lieutenant, dying in the first movie, wouldnt it have made sense that Prowl be in this to take his place?

Prowl could be saved for the third, or at least I hope(as well as Thundercracker if he doesn't show up in ROTF), but Prowl could also be assuming leadership roles in the Autobots main ship, wherever it is(the Ark, is it? Lol...I don't know my Transformers that well). The Nemesis is either on Mars or just hovering in space, and the Ark could be doing the same.

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

I dont see why.

He has been in the move recent comics like War Within and the recent Infiltration series, these care the comics they should be following IMO.

[sto_vo_kor_2000]

That post was a little hard to follow.....but I think I understand you.

But even in the more recent comics he's not very effective as a 2nd in command.

He hasnt been respected by all in the IDW comics,Ironhide right out challenging him and Jazz taking over as if Prowls rank ment nothing.

And he wasnt very well respected as a leader in the War Within either.Many left his group to form their own sub-groups.

One thing seems to be universal about Prowl....they call him 2nd in command but he's never really depicted as being effective.

[Chris B]

I have just been thinking, with Jazz, Prime's first lieutenant, dying in the first movie, wouldnt it have made sense that Prowl be in this to take his place?

I would've thought so. Prowl was always one of the Autobots that I was hoping would make it into ROTF. Though it seems like he didn't make the cut.

[Golgo-13]

I am fine with Megatron teaming up with the Autobots.

Me neither, so long as he royally shafts them in the back at some point or another.

It's true, Prowl quite often has the problem of keeping those under his command in line. Ratchet in the Infiltration is a good example of this when he exposed himself to the human characters going directly against orders leading to a narrow confrontation with Prowl. Regardless of this, I still like Prowl as the calculating character, tactician if you would, definitely a strong warrior.

Ohhh dont get me wrong.....I would love to see Prowl in the movie.

What I'm questioning is the idea that it would be logical for him to be introduced because he's the 2nd in command.

Does it matter if he is effective? It would just make sense to me seeing as Jazz died in the first movie to have a replacement for him. Who knows, in-fighting between the Autobots could be a good plot device.

I would've thought so. Prowl was always one of the Autobots that I was hoping would make it into ROTF. Though it seems like he didn't make the cut.

It is a shame, good character.

As I said above it doesnt really matter if others go off and dont follow his orders, Grimlock does it to Prime often enough, it could be a good plot point to see in-fighting and disillution in the Autobot ranks.

[sto_vo_kor_2000]

Does it matter if he is effective?.

Yes if the argument is about the wether Prowl is the logical replacement as 2nd in command because Jazz is dead.

Plain and simple Prowl was never featured as a leader or as a true 2nd in command.

And to say he should be in the film simple because he is the next in line of the command structure would be in error.

It would just make sense to me seeing as Jazz died in the first movie to have a replacement for him.

Yes that makes sense but what doesnt is that Prowl is the one that fits that bill naturally.

Ultra Magnus,Springer,Kup,Ironhide would fit that role far better in that role based on what we saw in the G1 toon.

Althou I too would prefer to see Prowl, its just not the logical choise.

Who knows, in-fighting between the Autobots could be a good plot device..

Good idea

It is a shame, good character.

Agreed.

I dont see how it would, he was second in command to both Sentinel Prime and Optimus Prime, so it is natural he could take Jazz's place as the one to oversea things when Prime isnt there.

I think it was obvious from the start we werent getting Ultra Magnus, one of my favouite Autobots.

Springer is the leader of the wreckers but not a lieutenant and Kup and Ironhide were never of that rank in the comics, well, maybe Kup.



Good idea



Agreed.

:up: Maybe something for the 3rd movie to look at then?

[Hunter Rider]

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.

Some footage, featuring animatics, was also shown. If you do not want to be spoiled, look away now!

- 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.

[LightningFlash]

Haha, what if Devastator was two feet in the movie.

[sto_vo_kor_2000]

I dont see how it would, he was second in command to both Sentinel Prime and Optimus Prime, so it is natural he could take Jazz's place as the one to oversea things when Prime isnt there.

The flaw in that logic is that your mixing continuities.I pointed out the G1 cartoon in my post and there was no "Sentinel Prime" in the G1 toon.

But since you brought it up......he was only 2nd in command in name only.

He was not an effective 2nd under either "Prime", his orders were questioned if no disobeyed, a good number of his troops left his side as soon as Optimus was lost in limbo.

Sorry but he's just not the natural choice for a 2nd in command role.

I think it was obvious from the start we werent getting Ultra Magnus, one of my favouite Autobots.

A shame

Springer is the leader of the wreckers but not a lieutenant

He's an effective leader.

He's been portrayed as such in the toon and the comics.

Regardless if he's not a lieutenant, he would make a far more natural and logical 2nd in command.

and Kup and Ironhide were never of that rank in the comics, well, maybe Kup.

Rank isint everything.

Natural ability and effectiveness are whats needed for a 2nd in command durring a war.

Rank can be given or earned.

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,

Sorry but he's just not the natural choice for a 2nd in command role.

The first movie already mixed both the cartoon and the comics, so I have no doubt this one will as well. In that regard, Prowl should be in there as 2nd in command.



A shame

Truly, awesome character.



He's an effective leader.

He's been portrayed as such in the toon and the comics.

Regardless if he's not a lieutenant, he would make a far more natural and logical 2nd in command.

He is an effective leader of a small group, being 2nd in command to Optimus Prime of all the Autobots is a totally different situation.



Rank isint everything.

Natural ability and effectiveness are whats needed for a 2nd in command durring a war.

Rank can be given or earned.

Ability and effectiveness are the things that get you a high rank, so Prowl did something right in the comics, whether we got to see it or not, Prowl did something to earn his status, so IMO, it would be natural for him to take over Jazz's role in the first movie.

[sto_vo_kor_2000]

So these are the twins? Dissapointing, were Skids and Mudflap even in the cartoon/comics?

Skids was a G1 Autobot character....he was shown in 1 episode of G1 [maybe 2] but had a better role in Marvels G1 comic.

Mudflap was a Decepticon from the Cybertron serries.....thats all the info I have on him.

The first movie already mixed both the cartoon and the comics, so I have no doubt this one will as well.

Hardly.

The first movie told its own continuity..... barely touching anything from either the cartoon or the comics other then the Basic concepts.

In that regard, Prowl should be in there as 2nd in command.

And again there's no bases for the school of thought that Prowl "SHOULD" be there and "SHOULD BE 2ND IN COMMAND".

I can see a desire for him to be in the movie but there's no logical argument that would place him in the movie as 2nd in command over other more likely characters.

Truly, awesome character.

Agreed

He is an effective leader of a small group, being 2nd in command to Optimus Prime of all the Autobots is a totally different situation.

And Prowl has never been shown to be 2nd in command of "ALL" the Autobots under Optimus Prime.

Prowls only been shown to command Primes detachment when Prime was not available.The only time it looked like he would have to take full leadership Jazz took over.

Sorry but Prowl hasnt been in charge if a large group with any effectiveness.......Springer, wether in charge of a small group or not, is a far better leader.

Ability and effectiveness are the things that get you a high rank,

Presumably.......simple fact is Prowl has never exhibited any real skill and effectiveness in a leadership role......and I believe Jazz taking over in the current story arc is evidence of that fact.

so Prowl did something right in the comics,whether we got to see it or not, Prowl did something to earn his status,

You can assume.....Rank can be bought and can be erned by years of loyl service.

He may have been in the service so long that he's erned the rank wether he's up to the job or not.

The point is we dont know what earned him the rank but he's never shown that he's the natural choice for 2nd in command.

And high Rank is not always a sing of great command ability.Just look at the command structure of the Enterprise on Star trek the original series.

When Kirk and Spock werent around Scottie took over most of the times....but it wasnt just because of his rank.

Mr.Scott held a rank of Lieutenant commander.....but so did Dr.Leonard McCoy and you never saw him commanding the ship while Kirk and Spock werent around.

Also on a number of occasions we saw Lieutenant Sulu command the Enterprise when either McCoy or Scott were available.....and both had greater Rank then Sulu.

Rank is not always earned by demonstrating command effectiveness.

To make this as simple as I can.....greater rank does not compare to natural leadership ability.

so IMO, it would be natural for him to take over Jazz's role in the first movie.

As its your opinion I wont argue.....but logicaly he's not the natural candidate for the role.

[LightningFlash]

Prowl would be awesome to see though.

He might not being in use because we already have a police car TF.

[sto_vo_kor_2000]

Prowl would be awesome to see though.

Yes he would.

[LightningFlash]

Could he be used as just a regular car instead of a cop car?

The Chevy Beat and Trax robot modes from Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen have been revealed at the ROTF game site! (http://www.transformersgame.com/)! Once you join, you can check out Skids & Mudflap! Click on the thumbnail to the left for a closer look at their robot modes!

I think it was noted somewhere that these two will be the comic relief in the film, I can definitely some cheeky-ness to these two. If they fight in unison it's going to be great to watch.

I was think the same thing.

Also, that bot at the end of the teaser, was that Devastator or one constructicon?

[Bayless]

just one. the one theres toy shots of already

[Lunar_Wolf]

just one. the one theres toy shots of already
Ah, yes, now I see. Kinda strange that it's that big in robot mode:huh:

[sto_vo_kor_2000]

Could he be used as just a regular car instead of a cop car?

What would be the point of leaving out one of the more distinctive parts of his design.

He wouldnt be reminiscent of G1 Prowl with out being a Cop vehicular of some kind.

[November Rain]

the twins looks they should have been the height bumblebee should have been in the first.

[oakzap425]

No sunny and sides as the twins. Only Phail so far, Bay. :down

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Skids was a G1 Autobot character....he was shown in 1 episode of G1 [maybe 2] but had a better role in Marvels G1 comic.

Mudflap was a Decepticon from the Cybertron serries.....thats all the info I have on him.

Shame, we could have had more well known characters.



Hardly.

The first movie told its own continuity..... barely touching anything from either the cartoon or the comics other then the Basic concepts.



And again there's no bases for the school of thought that Prowl "SHOULD" be there and "SHOULD BE 2ND IN COMMAND".

I can see a desire for him to be in the movie but there's no logical argument that would place him in the movie as 2nd in command over other more likely characters.

With the 2nd movie borrowing more from the comics, Prowl would have been the logical choiceIMO




Agreed

:up:



And Prowl has never been shown to be 2nd in command of "ALL" the Autobots under Optimus Prime.

Prowls only been shown to command Primes detachment when Prime was not available.The only time it looked like he would have to take full leadership Jazz took over.

Sorry but Prowl hasnt been in charge if a large group with any effectiveness.......Springer, wether in charge of a small group or not, is a far better leader.

It isnt really about who the better leader is, but who should replace Jazz as 2nd in command, Prowl seemed the most logical to me.



Presumably.......simple fact is Prowl has never exhibited any real skill and effectiveness in a leadership role......and I believe Jazz taking over in the current story arc is evidence of that fact.



You can assume.....Rank can be bought and can be erned by years of loyl service.

He may have been in the service so long that he's erned the rank wether he's up to the job or not.

The point is we dont know what earned him the rank but he's never shown that he's the natural choice for 2nd in command.

And high Rank is not always a sing of great command ability.Just look at the command structure of the Enterprise on Star trek the original series.

When Kirk and Spock werent around Scottie took over most of the times....but it wasnt just because of his rank.

Mr.Scott held a rank of Lieutenant commander.....but so did Dr.Leonard McCoy and you never saw him commanding the ship while Kirk and Spock werent around.

Also on a number of occasions we saw Lieutenant Sulu command the Enterprise when either McCoy or Scott were available.....and both had greater Rank then Sulu.

Rank is not always earned by demonstrating command effectiveness.

To make this as simple as I can.....greater rank does not compare to natural leadership ability.



As its your opinion I wont argue.....but logicaly he's not the natural candidate for the role.

He got the rank, and has held for a long time for a reason, so he cant be that bad, which is why he just seems the logical choice as the new 2nd in command.

Plus, I think Jazz taking over in the comics was more to do with the popularity of the character more than anything.

[sto_vo_kor_2000]

Shame, we could have had more well known characters.

Agreed

With the 2nd movie borrowing more from the comics, Prowl would have been the logical choiceIMO

And again thats an assumption.

Regardless if the "Fallen" is really in refrance to the "comic only character" we dont know how much Bay is really borrowing from the comics so to make any leeps between the two would be in-advised.

And besides....Prowl in the comics wasnt much of a leader either.

It isnt really about who the better leader is, but who should replace Jazz as 2nd in command, Prowl seemed the most logical to me.

How do you determin who should replace Jazz as 2nd in command with out thinking about who would be the better leader???

Sorry buddy but your logic is flawed.

If your just looking for a cool character to replace Jazz then fine but if your looking for a logical replacement for the position of 2nd in command then Prowl is not the logical choice.

He got the rank, and has held for a long time for a reason, so he cant be that bad, which is why he just seems the logical choice as the new 2nd in command.

More assumptions.

We dont know what got him the rank and we dont know what held it for him.

But one way or the other he seems to fail everytime he takes command.


Plus, I think Jazz taking over in the comics was more to do with the popularity of the character more than anything.

I highly doubt that.

Orci specifically stated in his Q&A sessions on TFW2005 that more would be borrowed/adapted from the comics.



How do you determin who should replace Jazz as 2nd in command with out thinking about who would be the better leader???

Sorry buddy but your logic is flawed.

If your just looking for a cool character to replace Jazz then fine but if your looking for a logical replacement for the position of 2nd in command then Prowl is not the logical choice.

How is he not the logical choice when he is 2nd in command to Prime in the comics? It has nothing to do with how successful he is, he holds that role.



More assumptions.

We dont know what got him the rank and we dont know what held it for him.

But one way or the other he seems to fail everytime he takes command.

Again, success doesnt matter, Prime very rarely beats Megatron, but it doesnt stop him trying. Same with Prowl.




I highly doubt that.

Come on, we both know Jazz is a helluva lot more popular than Prowl

[sto_vo_kor_2000]

Orci specifically stated in his Q&A sessions on TFW2005 that more would be borrowed/adapted from the comics.

Which amounts to squat.

He also said he was sticking to G1 characterazations in the first film and sticking with established Star Trek continuity in the new Star trek film.

His word can not be relied on.

How is he not the logical choice when he is 2nd in command to Prime in the comics?It has nothing to do with how successful he is, he holds that role.

Because this is not the comics.

And if your going to try to figure out whos the logical replacement....then you have to do it logically.

And logically speaking.....Prowl sucks as a 2nd in command.

Again, success doesnt matter,

It does when determining the logical replacement for 2nd in command.

Come on, we both know Jazz is a helluva lot more popular than Prowl

At a time maybe....but I dont think thats the case these days.

[scatterax]

I don't see why they can't make prowl 2nd in command in the movie (to be like the comics[?]) and ALSO make him good @ his job? stranger things have happened.

[sto_vo_kor_2000]

I don't see why they can't make prowl 2nd in command in the movie (to be like the comics[?]) and ALSO make him good @ his job? stranger things have happened.

I'm not saying they cant or they shouldnt.

My argument is simplely that Prowl is just not the logical replacement that comes to mind.

[gohei_]

what happened to wheeljack? is he not going to appear in the film?

[Lunar_Wolf]

what happened to wheeljack? is he not going to appear in the film?
So far, no word.

[gohei_]

So far, no word.

that's too bad. that Saab concept would have been perfect for him.

[brimstone_halo]

It would be cool to see wheeljack. Ultra Magnus would be sweet to ... hopefully we get him in the third. It's funny because I wasn't a big fan of magnus in any of the toons but I think he would be badass as a bayformer.

I think TF Animated sparked my new found appreciation for Ultra Magnus

[Lunar_Wolf]

Same here^^^

Also can't wait to hear BB talking more than a few lines this time around.

[Avangarde]

I was think the same thing.

Also, that bot at the end of the teaser, was that Devastator or one constructicon?

No idea mate, I've been on holidays for the last 3 weeks and I'm kinda out of the loop now with TF news. Kinda sad considering I'm trying to keep the FAQ up to date. :csad:

[Overman27pj]

Plus, I think Jazz taking over in the comics was more to do with the popularity of the character more than anything.

In the new IDW comics this issue just comes up, and Jazz proves to be a total badass, handing it to Kup and his squad with ease.

Special OPS.

Isn't it rumored that another trailer will be released on February 13th? If so, what time and where? I need to know this please!

[dark_b]

Isn't it rumored that another trailer will be released on February 13th? If so, what time and where? I need to know this please!Bay confirmed it. he said it will not come online.

[AirUpThere]

So does it come out in a movie theater? Or is it on TV?

[dark_b]

it comes with friday 13.....on friday 13 :)

[AirUpThere]

Ok thanks man now I gotta go to the midnight premiere of that ****

[scatterax]

it comes with friday 13.....on friday 13 :)

how convenient. didn't the remake of the omen do something similer w/ their release dates? idk, this is off topic, but I just don't like all these hollywood remakes. If I want to watch 1 of these movies, I'd rather just watch the originals, so to me most of these remakes are completely pointless.


hmm, back on topic. are they gonna release another trailer after friday 13? 1 that gives us more insight on the story?? or are they just sticking w/ the 1 trailer? (I hope they do 1 more tho)

[AirUpThere]

And did Bay confirm anything about the trailer? Like length and quality? Or is it considered to be a teaser?

[skorponok]

There is a link on the SHH frontpage where Bay essentially says that he doesn't want to give too much away.

One Constructicon.

[shigsy2003]

Doubt it. There should be a teaser and theatrical trailers. Remember Bay has to sell the film to people who didn't go see the first one. Still most of the new Transformers will probably be kept from the trailers.

[shigsy2003]

Doubt it. There should be a teaser and two theatrical trailers. Remember Bay has to sell the film to people who didn't go see the first one. Still most of the new Transformers will probably be kept from the trailers.

Even though the Fallen is in the movie and it exploring the TF origins? Cant comment on Star Trek as I dont follow it.



Because this is not the comics.

And if your going to try to figure out whos the logical replacement....then you have to do it logically.

And logically speaking.....Prowl sucks as a 2nd in command.

So it isnt logical for the 2nd in command in the comics to be the 2nd in command in the movies?

I definately do, he is still one of the more popular TF's IMO.

[Octoberist]

it's a little weird not to see guys that I grew up with (in the cartoon) not being here (so far) like Hot Rod, Ultra Magnus, or Prowl in the movie.

[Ronster_Monster]

hey guys, im new to this board and i wanted to know something... i am sorry if this has already been brought up!
i just wanted to know if it was possible, or if its true, that the ice cream truck robot is in fact the 2 little chevys (green and red, forgot their names). could it be that they decided to split up, each taking an individual car instead of combining?
thanks!!

[AnorexicBatman]

Yes

[sto_vo_kor_2000]

Even though the Fallen is in the movie and it exploring the TF origins? .

Yes because truth be told....we still only have his word as absulte proof that "IF" the Fallen is in the movie, that he may be anything like his comic character.

And I dont want to turn this into a debate of wether I believe the Fallen is in the film.....I've been staying open minded to that one.

But truth be told nothing said about this film has been proven not be be a possible lie yet.

And since he's well known for lieing already I dont put faith in anything he says till I see absolute proof.

So it isnt logical for the 2nd in command in the comics to be the 2nd in command in the movies?.

No its not because even in the comics he's 2nd in command in "NAME ONLY"

I definately do, he is still one of the more popular TF's IMO.

I dont....I think Bays last TF movie hurt him.

[Chris B]

it's a little weird not to see guys that I grew up with (in the cartoon) not being here (so far) like Hot Rod, Ultra Magnus, or Prowl in the movie.

I think they could have easily done a new Autobot line-up that included Prowl, Wheeljack, Arcee, Sideswipe, Sunstreaker, Jolt renamed Bluestreak or Windcharger.

I hope that come TF3, we get more G1-inspired characters than we seem to have gotten this time around.

[Jake Cassidy]

If it was up to me I would've had Prowl, Sideswipe, Jetfire, Mirage, Hound, Inferno, Tracks, Smokescreen, Warpath, Hot Rod, Ultra Magnus, Springer and the Aerialbots. :)

Devastator is the combined form of the six Constructicons in the G1 series
1. Bonecrusher
2. Scavenger
3. Scrapper
4. Hook
5. Long Haul
6. Mixmaster

In this upcoming film Devastator will be made up of 7 vehicles .

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

I think they could have easily done a new Autobot line-up that included Prowl, Wheeljack, Arcee, Sideswipe, Sunstreaker, Jolt renamed Bluestreak or Windcharger.

I hope that come TF3, we get more G1-inspired characters than we seem to have gotten this time around.

Exactly, Jolt would actually make a good Bluestreak since the car is blue, this would have made total sense.

However, I get the feeling there is a possibility that the blue car isnt Jolt, as Orci gave a cryptic answer to someone about who the car is.

[LightningFlash]

I hope it stays as Jolt the Volt...because you know we'll have some comedy with his name, haha.

But, on a side note...I've heard that Prowl and Wheeljack shows up in ROTF...has anyone else heard about this?

Supposedly, Barricade becomes the Audi R8 and that gives room for Prowl to be a police car, which is suspected that he's a Chinese police car.

And with Wheeljack, I guess he's supposed to be a Saab Aero-X

LOL. I don't think so. I think Bay is started to get scared that so many spoilers have leaked onto the net and is now trying to tell us ALL of that is wrong. You know what else tells us he is lying? The fact that he told us we have got so much wrong. If that what the case leave the fans to keep guessing and surprise them on the opening day. If we were wrong and he wants the film to be a surprise they would be no need to come right out and say it.

I think they're pretty much just fan speculation. I do like the idea of Wheeljack being a Saab Aero-X though.

[dancing_on_fire]

Wheeljack rumor of being the Saab turned out to be a joke by the car company. Keep in mind however, There are 40 transformers. We have confirmed through leaks and interviews just around 20 robots, including the fallen and the robots on the callsheets(not the constructicons however since how many there are is anyones guess right now) So we still have another 20 transformers we have no clue about...So really when you think about it, 20 more transformers could mean lots of our favourites appearing or cameo-ing in cybertronian form.

Possibly, i'll have to check but I thought Prime at the start of WW2, before he became Prime was seaking to Bluestreak and he was blue. Must have been another autobot.

There is a "Blue" Autobot in the scene where Prime gets the Matrix.....but thats Skids.

Well, just look through the pics on the like I posted and see if you find it.

[sto_vo_kor_2000]

Well, just look through the pics on the like I posted and see if you find it.

There's no need for two reasons...

1] not to sound rude but I know what I'm talking about:oldrazz:

2] the War Within was a story that takes place before the Autobots came to earth.........so they wouldnt have had the earth car modes that you see pictured on TFU.

[Cth]

From today's Toyfare:

- Images of ROTF toys for Leader class Optimus Prime, Preview Bumblebee, Preview Soundwave, and the Voyager Class Starscream figure.
- Lorenzo believes the timeframe of ROTF is about one year after Movie #1.
- When asked about the challenge of creating Devastator on screen, Lorenzo mentions that Bay had the challenge in the first movie of having 30 foot robots. In the second movie, Bay has the challenge of having a robot almost four times that. Expect Devastator to be 100 to 120 feet tall in the movie.
- Archer said he couldn't give away the plot point, but there's a reason that Soundwave is designed the way he is for the movie. Hasbro had a more basic toy need. So, the two were blended together.
- Toy launch date confirmed as May 30th. A few weeks before, Bumblebee and Soundwave will be released.
- Characters mentioned in the initial wave are "Sideswipe, Sideways, Bulldozer, Voyager and many others". Promise of more off-screen characters.
- Robot Heroes will have better articulation
- Bumblebee helmet has voice mixer
- Bumblebee converting pulse cannon
- Big ticket deluxe item for the year is still "top-secret"
- Gravity Bots are geared towards younger kids. Convert automatically when you pick them up.
- A Megan Fox Human Alliance figure is on Archer's "wish list".

The Fallen's origin:
He is one of the original 13 Transformers. Lorenzo said to think of the 13 as "apostles". The Fallen is the one who turns and is the reason Transformers split into Autobots and Decepticons.

[AnorexicBatman]

While it is simply the cars driving about in different locations (Quite a few Desert locations) but the combinations of Autobots we see (Specially a lot of BumbleBee, Mudflap and Skids) and the lack of a certain character COULD be a hint as to the way the Autobots team up in the movie.

The autobots want to stay under cover yet they disguise themselves as the newest most shiniest cars. :hehe:

[AnorexicBatman]

But tell me? Would you rather see Sideswipe as a corvette or a pinto?

^It's great eye candy so I'm not really complaining. I would however have preferred Bumblebee stay as the older version Camaro but still, no big deal.

Jetfire and Wheelie may start out Decepticon.
There's rumours of Springer too.
Jazz won't be there. Except possibly in a flashback

[LightningFlash]

I don't see a flashback with Jazz, although it would be cool. Just seems unlikely.

And yah, Jetfire starts out as Decepticon, and most likely Wheelie starts out in the Autobots rank, but as a spy of course. I see Wheelie dying in the movie though.

And Springer, I thought, was just a toy.

Judas, not Lucifer. If Unicron ever shows up, HE'LL be the ultimate evil.

Plus, Lucifer was never an apostle, lol.

At first, Megatron COULD HAVE been the "Lucifer" of the TF-universe, because he wanted all the power and glory for himself, but he's just now a pawn it seems.

Bumblebee, Skids and Mudflap team up to search for Jetfire(don't know why Jetfire needs to be found).

Sideswipe, Jolt and Ratchet are seen on a different path, so those three must team up somehow in the film.

Prime, Ironhide and Arcee must be the third team.

And Springer, I thought, was just a toy.

There's a Legends toy of Springer. I heard internet rumblings that he may be in the film, but nothing from credible sources. Point to note though, all the Legends Class toys we've seen so far are of characters who will appear in the film, like Jetfire, Megatron, Optimus and Bumblebee. There's been no toy-only character yet, with Springer being the only possible exception.

Wheelie definitely switches factions. From which to which, it's hard to say. His toy even has a faction symbol changing gimmick. The toy's also called Autobot Wheelie.

Jetfire's toy on the other hand, is labelled Decepticon Jetfire, and we know he starts out Decepticon. If Wheelie follows the same pattern as him, he'll probably start out Autobot, like you said.

I dunno if they'll do a flashback with Jazz, but it's the only way he'll appear. He's dead in TF2, and not coming back.

[sto_vo_kor_2000]

I dont want to argue with you but can you tell me from which line????

Because I've been trying to collect every version of every character ever to be associated with the name "Sideswipe" and so far I havent seen any that could turn into a corvette.

Un-known to me but doest look like a corvette

As you can see he's been a Lamborghini quite a few times but as far as I can tell, never a corvette.


So if you know something I dont please share.

[AnorexicBatman]

^ Forget I said anything...

On another note, Sidewipe was a Decepticopn (http://www.tfu.info/2008/Decepticon/.../sideswipe.htm he defected? They made Optimus actually look worse than Megs) in Armada (and a friend of Hot-Shot) and Wheelie was an Autobot in G1... correct?

So in movie-verse they have switched sides I guess?

[sto_vo_kor_2000]

^ Forget I said anything...

Why?????

Were you mistaken????

If not I want to know.

Dude I cant figure out whay your asking.

So I'm gona Just to try to sort that out.

The "Sideswipe" that was a decepticon is not the same as G1 Sideswipe.That character comes from a alternate universe like Star Treks "Mirror Universe" in which the Decepticons are the good guys.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sideswipe#Transformers:_Timelines

The character and the toy is repaint of "Armada Wheeljack" and it was that character that defected.

It was "Armada Wheeljack" who was a friend of Hot-shot and defected to the Decepticons.
http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/Wheeljack_%28Armada%29

And yes Wheelie was an Autobot in G1.

[AnorexicBatman]

Oh right... it was Wheeljack... I loved the way he transformed in Armada...
Also, I was terribly mistaken about Sideswipe and I guess I was thinking about someone or something else or I just happened to like the stingray way too much...

I also see you are a Star Trek fan like me...

[Colossal Spoons]

The most drawn out gloat EVER lol

[tecnowraith]

I have been wondering since Sideswipe will be in the movie, do you we will see or hear something about his twin bother Sunstreaker? Since these are G1 bots, and Sideswipe did have a twin.

[Venom]

No news of Sunstreaker unfortunately. We also haven't seen any sports car on set that looks as comparably cool as Sideswipe's. And they're already doing the twins angle with Mudflap and Skids.

If he's not in it, I hope we'll see him in TF3.

[sto_vo_kor_2000]

The most drawn out gloat EVER lol

If your talking about my post....that was not my intent.

Oh right... it was Wheeljack... I loved the way he transformed in Armada...

Hey guys, the newbie again to bother with another stupid question :oldrazz:
ok i just watched the video promoting the GM vehicles from the movie, and i realised that Ratchet isnt in it. Hummer is made by GM right? why isnt he in the video?
thanks!

[SpiderByte]

Hi, Im new around here & I got a newbie question. Its been ages since I've seen the G1 cartoon, but how many constructicons were there.

actually, ronster monster is SLIGHTLY more newbish than you. two less posts
:yay:


Anyways.....
BOTS WE KNOW ARE IN THE MOVIE BUT HAVENT SEEN IN ROBOT MODE
Jolt
the other constructicons
....and thats all i can think of


And more theories on the ICT: if it IS the Twins combined, how do they change colors? In the first film, Bumblebee stayed the same color. Barricade doesn't count, he got a new vehicle mode, but not via combining.

What is the point of releasing the movie two days earlier?

[Rocker22]

It's just used to get a bigger box office weekend.

I guess the question now is, other than Peter Cullen, who's doing the voices for all of the Transformers this time around.

[rashad]

I guess the question now is, other than Peter Cullen, who's doing the voices for all of the Transformers this time around.

Pretty safe assumption that all the original voice actors from TF1 are back. It'd be great to know who is voicing the new Autobots and Decepticons.

Probably becuz they're trying to promote new cars, not old ones. They don't sell Hummers in Ratchets configuration either, I believe.

[LightningFlash]

Same thing from last Transformers film.

I ain't complainin'!!!

And Mark Ryan is voicing Bumblebee in the film.

And pretty sure Jess Harnell and Robert Foxworth are back to voice Ironhide and Ratchet.

[Cth]

I was joking this morning, but I wouldn't mind hearing that guy who voiced SINISTAR doing the voice of THE FALLEN.

Of course, he'll probably talk in Cybertronian subtitles.

So Sideways is an evil Sideswipe/Wheeljack... nice...
Bay's stupid but not "HEY GUYZ!! LETS CHANGE BARRICADE!!" stupid...

Also, nice to see that Long Haul remains unchanged...
It has a perfect balance between G1 and Bay style...

Very surprised with the Sideways revelation. But it's good news that Barricade keeps his police mode, and we get to add a new Decepticon character to the movie-verse.

You mean the Long Haul ones? They were fanart. They're official now. The artist got hired based on that very artwork, and it made it into the film without any changes

Take a look at Robot Heroes Long Haul: http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/8791/ebe975dw8.th.jpg (http://img6.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ebe975dw8.jpg)really? thats amazing.

Sideways? Was he in the cartoons?

Somone should make a thread about what we know so far for newcomers

He was, but not in the cartoon that mattered anyway (G1). I believe he was in Armada and RiD.

^You are kidding arent you? G1 was the ONLY TF cartoon that mattered!

Dont remember Sideways to be honest, from the cartoon or the comics, but then again didnt remember Skids at first and he was definately in the comics.

Reread my post. I'm saying he wasn't in the cartoon that mattered (G1). He was in Armada and RiD and who cares about that cycle of Transformers lore.

That's kind of what the FaQ is for.

I partially agree however Beast Wars(Crappy theme song) was decent. All of the other cartoons including Transformers animated are garbage.

I remember seeing Skids in G1 cartoons Triple Takeover and The Quest for Survival. He only had one line in the whole series.

so Sideways is in, and he almost looks like Sideswipe?
