No Triple Changers for Transformers Revenge Of The Fallen

Written by Big Bot on September 23, 2008 | News,Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen | Tags: , , —

In a Q&A at TFW2005, Transformers Revenge Of The Fallen writer Roberto Orci has provided some more answers, this time confirming that there will be no triple changers (ala Blitzwing) but there will be combiners:

Talked about it. Does a combiner count? We figure a triple changer is a good idea for part 3.

Also answered was the likelihood that Megatron and Starscream will be up to their old ways again, withbickering left right and center and that it has been discussed (no confirmation) in the writters room about the possiblity of Optimus Prime combining with another robot or even his trailer.

And for anyone wondering what Soundwave will trasnform into, nonbody has guessed it yet.

Paramount Home Entertainment have announced that Transformers Energon will be receiving the Ultimate Collection treatment with a DVD set containing all 52 episodes on 16th December in North America.

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.
