[Ravsuh]

Hey guys, just thought I'd start a thread that lists the Transformers that have been confirmed so far or speculated to be in TF2. If theres a thread like this already, feel free wo close this thread.

Also if you guys have any pictures of the new Transformers, feel free to post them. As new info is added or if u guys come up with some info I will update the list

Here's what we have so far...

Autobots
-Optimus Prime (Peterbilt Truck)
-Bumblebee (2010 Chevy Camaro)
-Ironhide (GMC Topkick Truck)
-Ratchet (Hummer H2)
-Arcee (2006 Buell Firebolt XB1LR Motorcycle or Can-Am Spyder)(Possibly 2 or 3??)
-Wheeljack (Saab Aero-X Concept Car)
http://www.saabhistory.com/2008/04/01/saab-aero-x-debuts-in-transformers-sequel-2009/

-???? (Constructicon Construction vehicle) (Could this be a future introduction of Devastator? We had Bonecrusher in the first movie, but he was beheaded my Optimus, I read on Transformers Wiki, that he escapes according to his Toy Bio) http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/Bonecrusher_%28Movie%29

[Avangarde]

When was Wheeljack confirmed :huh:

[oakzap425]

Hasn't. That's speculation, only because there are reports of the name "wheelie" being said on set during filming at the Aviation museum.

[Avangarde]

I thought that Wheels/Wheelbot character was the toy RC truck.

[Ravsuh]

No Wheels and Wheeljack are supposed to be separate, Wheels is the RC Truck based on neo-Wheel micromaster and Wheeljack is the new concept Saab. Did u guys read my subtitles and see my link?

[WarBlade]

This is Superhero Hype dude. You have to account for a wide range of attention spans. :woot:

As for getting people to follow links try doing what the hypesters do: Add several exclamation marks and one of these --> :wow:

[November Rain]

when were all these confirmed/non confirmed

[Ravsuh]

Gotcha lol!!!

Um they were confirmed through all the images/ spy photos and through the call sheets, that have been posted on various sites and on these boards. The article confirms the Wheeljack info. Everything else is through photos

[Dr Lee]

Ironhide and Bumble Bee are the only two i know are definately in the movie as they've both been spotted on set......

And you can't really have the sequel missing Optimus Prime.

[Ravsuh]

Alright, I guess since this is my thread I'll post the pictures confirming each Transformer and the call sheets confirming the rest...

Audi R8
http://www.slashfilm.com/2008/06/06/transformers-2-shooting-secrets-revealed-days-1-5/
http://www.firstshowing.net/2008/06/06/new-transformers-2-robots-revealed-the-twins-arcee-jetfire-and-more/

"The opening scene, which has been filming at an old steel factory in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, takes place in in Shanghai, China. The Autobots are hunting down a Decepticon Audi R8."

Constructicon
http://www.slashfilm.com/2008/06/06/transformers-2-shooting-secrets-revealed-days-1-5/

"The involvement of a Constructicon Earth Mover pretty much confirms the rumor that the Constructicons and Devastator might appear in the film."

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Bit bummed Jetfire is starting out as a Decepticon, I wish he just wouldnt have been loyal to either side but came to Earth looking for the Allspark, but Prime convinces him to commit to the Autobots.

[Ravsuh]

I just hope they stick with the cartoon storyline and have him as a freelance transformer who used to work with Starscream and (going with the movie) he crashes on earth and has been in the Smithsonian and he gets recruited by Starscream and he eventually learns the Autobots aren't the enemy but the Decepticons are and he switches to the Autobots...that would make me happy, but we'll see.

[Lauryn2000]

Ain't it Cool News.com has I guess the "work order" for where they will be filming,stunt people,main characters,etc.....also.

[Peter_Porker]

it's gone, paramount asked it be removed.

[Ravsuh]

Damn, if anyone can get a hold on that, bring it here, it would be a great addition. Glad to see you guys like my new thread!!!:woot:


Man I wish I was at the filming in Penn. I live in CT where barely nothing ever happens. the only movies taht have been shot near me are Sisterhood of the Traveling pants 2 (Boooooo!!!!) and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (Yayyyyy!!). I could have been at Indy 4 but my Mom said no (I was in high School) then I told her filming was done and she said she would have let me go. I was soooo angry!!!

I was gonna go to the Penn shooting since they were looking for 18+ year old college students (which is what i am, going on 19 this August) and its not too far from me but I've been in the hospital so I missed the announcement online for date when they said for casting calls. I could have made it too. I was so upset 1. because it's F-ing Transformers 2 and 2. because I want to become an actor when I graduate college, but if I can catch a break before then, that would be perfect. So 2 great opportunities I missed out on, not to mention they are both Spielberg related and Shia LaBeouf related and my future girlfriend Megan Fox would be there (yeh i wish)

Your assuming that Jetfire is actually the Blackbird TF's name. I'll believe that when I see a ROTF toy named Jetfire.

On the top of the Jetfire picture, it looks like one of those scratch pads that came on the later transformer releases...the one to determine if they were Autobot or Decepticon.

[Chris B]

There was that Chevy Malibu police car that was speculated to be Prowl.

[Ravsuh]

Oh yeh Chris B! Good reminder I'll add that

just throwing it out there, but that Saab article on Wheeljack was posted on April 1st.

No it hasn't. That's just what they were calling them on the set. Going by that reasoning the last movie would have featured Vortex and Soundbyte instead of Blackout and Frenzy.

[Peter_Porker]

EVERYTHING is speculation until you either see it, or M.B. confirms it. Either way, it doesn't really matter what TF's are in it...the movie is going to make a crap load of money, and is going to totally rock!

[oakzap425]

It was a radioshack remote-controlled car. Stop calling it a damn transformer... I'm sick of seeing it. It's a reference point for the actors/director/filmcrew, get over it, move on.

You don't need proof for common ****ing sense. :down

[Lunar_Wolf]

It's hard to tell whats real and what is not. For example The Twins, I doubt that is even real. M.B say he would be releasing false information on purpose to throw us fans off. Ice-Cream truck as a Transformer? I don't see that happening.

[oakzap425]

You can't see, considering that was a rather close shot, that it's a remote controlled car? You really think Micheal Bay is going to waste time having a remote controlled car in this big budget movie?

If you're making a movie that's based heavily on special effects-rendered characters, he's going to havea string with a tennis ball on it as a reference point, and yell "follow the ball!" "Yell at the ball, Shia". "Megan, grab the stick as if you're holding on for dear life on a robot leg"

Seriously fan boys will try to make a whole lot out of nothing.

I think people got that idea from the call sheet where it says that Simmons pulls Wheels out of a box refuring to the RC as a character.


Also I'm not convinced on the whole Wheeljack thing, considering it's just one source from April 1 (April Fools Day :dry: ) it seems to lack credibility.

[Ravsuh]

My bad on the Jetfire name, ur right its all speculation at this point.

I kinda agree with what is said about the Twins/ Ice Cream Truck, it seems too weird, it could def be a fake.

Regarding Wheels, I def think he will be CGI, like u guys said its just something for the actors to look at and imagine so they can CGI it later, wheels (if he is a character and not just an RC Car) will probably be human sized in robot form

Also with the Wheeljack yeh its a possibility it was an April fool's joke, but a lot of sites now are starting to pick up on it.

http://www.slashfilm.com/2008/06/10/transformers-2-wheeljack-john-tuturro-upenn-shoot-details-and-more/

I guess one of the big shots at Saab said this in January, not April according to the above link. But it could very well be a hoax.

I'm kinda pissed at M.B. for doing this to us, all this info is coming out and some of it can be fake and some can be real, but we don't know what. But I'm not pissed at him because he's making this amazing movie...

AHHHHH!!!!!! The chaos!!!!!!!!:wow::wow:

[Ravsuh]

Alright, in the pictures thread Dr. Lee posted this

http://transformerslive.blogspot.com...park-base.html (http://transformerslive.blogspot.com/2008/06/new-concept-car-at-fairmont-park-base.html)

its an update from the Transformers movie blog which is a great source.

Anyway, the rumored stinger might be the new Corvette Fireblade. We also have a Saturn Vue hybrid which is damaged but idk if thats gonna be a Transformer, I might have to add those to the list. Is Stinger based on a G1?

[lars573]

EVERYTHING is speculation until you either see it, or M.B. confirms it. Either way, it doesn't really matter what TF's are in it...the movie is going to make a crap load of money, and is going to totally rock!
That's my attitude. :up: And going by the first movie (where only 2 TF's names are spoken on set, Ratchet and Megatron) they might not be locked into names for new characters until pretty far into post production.

[TNC9852002]

Ugh...I hate all of this speculation.

Gimme a trailer!

-TNC

[Dr Lee]

I have to wonder about the size of the Twins.... If it's true that they are 2 halfs of the Ice Cream Truck and then a Chevy Beat then they must be tiny compared to some of the others.

It looks to me like Bay has decided to add more smaller bots in this one.... wonder why?

[Golgo-13]

Bit bummed Jetfire is starting out as a Decepticon, I wish he just wouldnt have been loyal to either side but came to Earth looking for the Allspark, but Prime convinces him to commit to the Autobots.

That's how he his story goes in the comics and the cartoon.:huh:



It looks to me like Bay has decided to add more smaller bots in this one.... wonder why?

More in-reaction with the human characters.


Btw, if the rumor about Wheeljack are true, i'm extremely happy with that. I hope they keep his traditional face.

[Ravsuh]

I think the only small Robots we have (if its true) are the Twins and Wheels (stand in RC Car) the rest i believe are bigger. Not to mention if Arcee is just 1 motorcycle (which I hope she is) she will be about 7 or 8 feet tall (I don't remember what the scale chart said she was in the first movie concept art).

The ones I just hope Bay sticks with G1 characters and does not create all new ones, like the Twins, I can do without them unless they are named after G1 characters and their vehicle modes are somewhat close to their original G1 modes (If they are real, hopefully teh Ice Cream truck is just like Bumblebee's 1970s Camaro and will be replaced with a new mode). All the rest I heard, besides Stinger are all G1 characters which I am happy about (Wheels is based on Neo-Wheel, a micromaster from G1)

[Dragons Claws]

Is it possible that the character referred to as 'Wheelie' is actually Wheelie, the annoying Orange , human sized robot from the movie/season 3 of the G1 cartoon.
Also there was a character called (I think) Rack n' Ruin who was a pair of conjoined Transformers from the G1 UK comic, he as in the Wreckers. I doubt it but is it possible this is who is meant by the twins, or maybe two similar 'bots like Runabout and Runamuck or Sideswipe and Sunstreaker.

[brimstone_halo]

Its hard to believe any speculation after what Bay said about passing out false info to put people off. Its kinda a love-hate thing. I love that they are making a second but I hate that we have to wait through all this speculation and hearsay. DAMN YOU INTERWEB!!!!!! DAMN YOU!!!! I kinda miss the old days, when you would hear they were making a movie and thats all you knew until you saw a trailer.

I'm with u there!!

"Is it possible that the character referred to as 'Wheelie' is actually Wheelie, the annoying Orange , human sized robot from the movie/season 3 of the G1 cartoon.

I checked out Wheelie, yeh good find, it could definitely be him. As for the twins, if they are in it I really hope they arent sunstreaker and sideswipe, because they never formed together and they were hot rod type of cars not a weak ice cream truck, if they are ever portrayed in a movie I hope they are sports cars, i hope they are the Rack n Ruin u mentioned, same with runabout and runamuck, they werent meant to be combined, i hope MB stays true to G1!!!!

[Srp5548]

I dont think the RC car is the actual wheels we will see in the movie I think they will replace it in post-production with a bigger cgi version along the size of Frenzy from the first movie. I like that they are adding smaller transformers it allows for more side characters because it wont cost as much as the bigger ones they will prob add a bunch of new big ones then add some small ones like Ravage, Lazerbeak, Wheels

[Dragons Claws]

Is it confirmed that one of the twins is an ice cream truck? If so then I think it will be a new character otherwise, like it or not, some character is being changed. Afterall there was no ice cream truck in G1. Personally I hate the idea of an ice cream truck at all.
Thing is, as we saw in the first movie, Bay is not above changing a characters mode.
Also the RC car, wasn't that called Roller not Wheels or am I thinking of the wrong thing?

[Dr Lee]

As far as i know both 'TWINS' make up the Ice Cream truck... and then later on they both make up the Green Chevy Beat.

[November Rain]

Ugh...I hate all of this speculation.

no trailers please, remember the very first transformer teaser that came out about some sort of moon landing

that was horrible....

I couldn't live through all that mess again.

[Dragons Claws]

Rack N'Ruin were Green, maybe it will be them afterall, would be a strange choice though as they are not that well known.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rack%27n%27Ruin

[brimstone_halo]

here is someone who shares my opinion on wheelie.

http://www.x-entertainment.com/messages/547.html

hopefully movie wheelie will be less.... anoying

[Kable24]

If Jetfire is an SR-71 could he be the SR-71 that sits on the aircraft carrier USS Intrepid in New York City?

[oakzap425]

From ym understanding, Jetfire is the SR-71 sitting in the aviation museum in Northern VA (part of the Smithsonian).

[Kable24]

Oh, I didn't know they had another sitting down there. I think the Intrepid one would be cooler. Imagine hundreds of people on it touring the museum and all of a sudden the SR-71 that has been on the flight deck for years transforms.

[Srp5548]

Does anybody else think that Jetfire will be an older Transformer (not geriatric but like Megatron) that has been on earth for awhile and has been almost asleep or powerless in Vehicle mode inside the museum and all the other transformers thought he was lost in space or dead. The Autobots and the military faction are tracking other Transformers down and they find him and Sam brings him back to life with the splinter of the spark. Also Im wandering who the Decepticon Audi R8 will be as in the first film all Decepticons were military or Police vehicles with the exception of Scorponok and Frenzy and this one is a regular vehicle like the autobots

[Chris B]

Also Im wandering who the Decepticon Audi R8 will be as in the first film all Decepticons were military or Police vehicles with the exception of Scorponok and Frenzy and this one is a regular vehicle like the autobots

I'm hoping it turns out to be one of the Stunticons.

WTF? I loved that teaser.. :cmad::cmad:

-TNC

[Dr Lee]

It also showed that we brits didn't **** up the Beagle rover... the TFs did :P

I'd be happy with an announcement and a Teaser before the main theatrical trailer in December.... if that is when we'll be getting it.

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Your assuming that Jetfire is actually the Blackbird TF's name. I'll believe that when I see a ROTF toy named Jetfire.

No i'm not, i just thought Jetfire was pretty much confirmed, dont know if he is the blackbird or not.

That's how he his story goes in the comics and the cartoon.:huh:

Yeah i know, and the move i have thought about the more i would like them to stay faithful to that, sorry, must have had a brainwave :yay:.

[Dragons Claws]

He can't have been there too long as he would have had to have scanned the Blackbird to have it as his Alt. form, he can't just have come to Earth and got trapped like Megatron. He must have done something first to acquire the Blackbird form and then get stuck.

[MaidenUK]

Arcee ?
Looking at the article below (Taken from another site) It looks like Arcee is going to be a custom:
http://www.venturacountystar.com/news/2008/jun/15/shifting-gears-for-hollywood/
The Designers website has pics of his current bikes and I must say they look good. Seeing as I had never heard of this guy before (Yes I am a gear-head. They could of used RollinSands or even OCC or WCC) I think it could be legit
http://retrosbk.com/

[blacksun]

I'd like to point out that Scorponok has yet to be killed. I doubt there will be any valid confirmation on him, since he doesn't have a vehicle form and therefore no need for a vehicle during shooting, but I doubt they'd leave him out of the story since he just slithered off into the sand.

[Golgo-13]

^If they do leave him out..........= massive plothole.

[Dr Lee]

If you take a peek at the pics thread you'll see that the Chevy Trax has been spotted on set....

With BB and the Chevy Beat.

IMHO The Beat is one twin while the Trax is the other

[dancing_on_fire]

yeah most likely those are the twins and the rumor the ice-cream truck is was just to throw us off. either that or they change alt modes during the film.

[Avangarde]

yeah most likely those are the twins and the rumor the ice-cream truck is was just to throw us off. either that or they change alt modes during the film.

Trans-scanning could be an answer for the Twins, can someone do a tally of known autobot and decepticon vehicles, so far by my count there's Prime, BB, Ironhide, Ratchet, Arcee motor bike(s), the Beat, the Trax, and the rumored Wheeljack car, There is also Wheels and Stinger which are unknows and could fit the alternate modes for the Beat and the Trax, so that makes 8 by my count for autobots. The decepticons have Barricade, the Audi, Soundwave, and Starscream. I'll include Jetfire as a con for now due to the mention of the decepticon insignia, so that makes 5. I know it was mentioned that there was going to be 20 robots in the movie but that could just be false info on Bays part. Is there any I'm missing?

[dancing_on_fire]

edit.

[Raiden]

I'm hoping it turns out to be one of the Stunticons.

Me too. I'd like to Motormaster and Dead End be added to Decepticon's rank and files, and maybe in TF3 we will see Menasor. :up:

[Chris B]

Me too. I'd like to Motormaster and Dead End be added to Decepticon's rank and files, and maybe in TF3 we will see Menasor. :up:

I agree about Motormaster. It'd be nice to see a duel between him and Optimus.

[Chris B]

I know it was mentioned that there was going to be 20 robots in the movie but that could just be false info on Bays part.

Orci did say that the 20 figure wasn't entirely accurate.

I was reading that Scorponok was actually a part of Blackout's engines, particularly the turbo fan, and so for Blackout to have flown into battle again, he would either have had to re-unite with Scorponok before leaving the middle east, or have "grown" a new engine.

If thats true i doubt Blackout would have let Scorponok go after the humans for so long.

I was reading that Scorponok was actually a part of Blackout's engines, particularly the turbo fan, and so for Blackout to have flown into battle again, he would either have had to re-unite with Scorponok before leaving the middle east, or have "grown" a new engine.
Since their robots i think they don't need those engines to move in their alt forms, their just their for show.
