The Transformers Live Action Movie Blog has posted an interesting image of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Megatron and Ravage. Megatron looks quite different to his first movie appearance, with a bulkier and more solid look, whilst Ravage still has a funky cat like look.
Returning characters from the first movie, Optimus Prime, Ironhide, Bumblebee and Starscream are largely unchanged from their appearances in the first movie.

TFW2005 have received a report from The Hasbro Licensing Summit 2008 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and with it comes lots of Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen SPOILERS.
First up, the Chevy Corvette that has been seen everywhere has been confirmed to be Sideswipe, the red G1 Autobot that originally transformed into a Lamborghini.
The second confirmation is that the Decepticon tape Ravage will be in the sequel, but not as a tape for Soundwave. Ravage is mentioned as having a “very raw beast mode”.
Leader class figures Optimus Prime and Megatron were shown, with Megatron’s figure confirming that his alternative mode is indeed a tank. The Optimus Prime figure will have a new mould from the first film and a new transformation.
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.
CHUD.com are reporting that Megatron will be back for the Transformers sequel, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, but not as you know him. Instead of being the weird plane thingy, this time he will mimic his Generation 2 and Classics form and be a tank.
There are also some spoilers to do with who and how he will be ressurected, so proceed with caution.

Yahoo! Movies have written a special feature about their top supervillians to celebrate The Dark Knight villian, The Joker. Megatron is featured as the fourth photo on the list, for his short role in the Transformers movie. Joined in the list are other recent villians such as Davy Jones, Agent Smith, Magneto and Lord Voldemort.
Here’s how they describe the big bad robot:
A robot that shrinks down into a handgun that other robots have to hold to shoot? Not exactly a threat to the planet. So it’s no surprise that the leader of the Decepticons was given a new “alien jet” vehicle mode for the movie. Not that he needed to turn into something to wreak havoc; he tears poor Jazz in half with his bare hands.
Paramount Home Entertainment have now sent out the cover for the transforming Megatron DVD case. In a similar style to the Optimus Prime version, it will contain the Two-Disc Special Edition of the Transformers movie, unlike the Bumblebee and Optimus Prime masks, which come with the 1 disc package.
The Megatron packaging is due out in North America on 2nd September, with no news on an international release.
