Following on from the Cybertron Ultimate Collection, expect a bare bones release, with no extra features.

More Revenge Of The Fallen Megatron Images

Written by Big Bot on September 21, 2008 | News,Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen | Tags: , , —

S250 has continued with his image leaking, this time for next years other major event, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. He has posted 4 images of a returning character from the first film, Megatron. As you can see in the pictures, he’ll have a new alternative mode, and overall new design, but inkeeping with the Cybertronian style.

Of course, this could be a fake leak, but given S250’s previous reputation, these are more likely real.

3 Times as many Transformers in Revenge of the Fallen

Written by Big Bot on September 19, 2008 | News,Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen | Tags: , —

IESB.net managed to catch Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura at the premiere of Eagle Eye, which is also produced by Steven Spielberg and stars Shia LaBeouf.

Lorenzo mentions that there will be three times as many Transformers in the sequel than in the original movie and that an appearance of Cybertron isn’t a guarentee, but many of the other planned features, that originally were set to be in the first film, will now make it into the second.

He also reveals that the studio (Paramount Pictures) are keen for a trailer to appear during the holiday season to start the hype machine. This will all depend on ILM getting the special effects done in time, so there are no promises.

Revenge of the Fallen Writers Talk about Inspirations for Sequel

Written by Big Bot on | News,Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen | Tags: , , —

In an interview with Sci-Fi Wire, Transformers Revenge of the Fallen writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman have spoken about what influenced the writing for the sequel and what could be done to raise the emotional stakes, including looking back on how the best film sequel achieve this goal; Superman II, The Empire Strikes Back and Aliens.
