The triple chang­ing Sound­wave Voy­ager class toy rumored to be both a Cybertron­ian jet, Satel­lite and robot was reviewed a short while ago by Peaugh, I haven’t included it here before so now seemed a good a time as any, I’ve also attached a Jet­fire Leg­ends review at the end of this post.

The review Illus­trates the major­ity a num­ber of pos­si­ble con­fig­u­ra­tions and out­lines the mov­able parts whilst spec­u­lat­ing on the shape of the satel­lite and jet before exam­in­ing the robot fig­ure in greater detail:

Conebone69 at the SHH forums has a friend at a local the­ater that has seen the newest Trans­form­ers trailer, he gives this description:

I talked to my friend that works at a local the­ater over here and he told me the new T2 trailer was with an early screen­ing of the upcom­ing movie Fri­day the 13th! He said it went by very fast but he man­aged to catch a few things. Sup­pos­edly it starts out with Sam talk­ing to Mikaela about how they cant give up. He said it starts out slow but as it pro­gresses it gets alot faster. Then towards the mid­dle a series of clips are shown: a bunch of auto­bots jump­ing all over this huge decep­ti­con but he just picks them up and throws them off, Bum­ble­bee bat­tling with rav­age (im guess­ing it was rav­age because he said it looked like a lion), some trans­form­ers crash­ing out of a high build­ing and trans­form­ing in mid air. Then it ended with opti­mus prime talk­ing to another auto­bot. He said it didnt show much more then what was shown in the super­bowl spot but it was still epic. I cant wait for this trailer!

A toy enti­tled ‘The Fallen’ has sur­faced via Trans­form­ers in China, TF08. Its head matches the face seen on the Revenge of the Fallen poster and now con­firms that ‘The Fallen’ is indeed a char­ac­ter, rather than a ref­er­ence to a downed Mega­tron or Opti­mus Prime.

The third image shows a trans­for­ma­tion sheet, with an alt mode that looks like a strange jet. The char­ac­ter him­self looks spiky, evil and ancient.

Wheels, or in this case ‘Wheelie’, spot­ted on set at the Smith­son­ian Aero­space museum has long been rumored as a remote con­trol truck — this toy pack­ag­ing proves it whilst show­ing us his robot mode. (Wall-E anyone?)

The back of pack char­ac­ter descrip­tion reveals him to be a Decep­ti­con spy, although only because he is incred­i­bly timid and afraid of them, sug­gest­ing a cute and per­suad­able side to him and an inevitable changeover to the Auto­bots (not an uncom­mon theme); the pack­ing states ‘Changes from Decep­ti­con to Autobot’

Activi­sion have today offi­cially released the first teaser trailer for the new Revenge of the Fallen video game, the spe­cific one shown in the video is for PS3. Note how the Decep­ti­con logo trans­forms into the Revenge of the Fallen poster at the end, it’s pretty cheesy, but con­firm­ing the links between the poster and the Decep­ti­con icon that were high­lighted when the image was first released. There is no focus on any rec­og­niz­able new char­ac­ters in the trailer, how­ever we do see a speed­ing Audi R8 jump and trans­form from the rear into a shape that matches the toy, and we very briefly see Starscream shoot towards a skinny blue char­ac­ter (pos­si­bly Arcee?) as the Auto­bot logo obscures the view. There is also a lovely Opti­mus Prime/Peter Cullen voice over.

TLAMB also point out that the stray Decep­ti­con that Bum­ble­bee is fight­ing with appears to be an anti air­craft launch rocket sys­tem — very sim­i­lar to one seen on set at White Sands, New Mex­ico (images since removed).

Trans­form­ers Game Website

After a brief hia­tus the Trans­form­ers Game web­site is back up with a new design:

The Trans­form­ers com­mu­nity have taken to call­ing this Con­struc­ti­con, a sin­gle part of Dev­as­ta­tor, as ‘Scav­enger’, the rea­son­ing is out­lined in the video below:

52toys (via his post at TFW2005) have posted new images of the blue motor­bike toy — pre­sumed to be Arcee, show­ing how it trans­forms step by step, with some images designed to match the sil­hou­ette seen in the trailer (behind the Audi). He also com­ments that the toy, once trans­formed, can­not eas­ily stand upright by itself.

Mean­while TFW2005 forum mem­ber Gen­Zhao has done a sim­i­lar thing with the Con­struc­ti­con, cre­at­ing poses that match those seen in the trailer. He is sell­ing this toy on ebay.

In a post to the LS2 forums, mem­ber -=boM=- spoke about his expe­ri­ences as an extra at White Sands, New Mex­ico in Trans­form­ers 2. To prove he was there he has also pro­vided a large col­lec­tion of set images that show Side­swipe, Skids, Bum­ble­bee, Iron­hide, Opti­mus, Jolt, Ratchet, Shia and Megan Fox on set, tanks, sol­diers, build­ing ruins, a camel, anti air­craft mis­sile vehi­cles, etc. — I have included these after the break and they come via TForm­ers, the report comes via TLAMB.

The fol­low­ing report con­tains spoil­ers, be warned:

“Can’t wait…i’m in it as an extra. I am a Navy Seal doing a bat­tle scene against the Decep­ti­cons. I filmed out at White Sands and on Hol­lo­mans flight line. Filmed for 4 days and had a blast. Tons of pics on my Facebook.”

I had to chase a bunch of vil­lagers out of the area because the Decep­ti­cons were attack­ing, then had to pro­tect Opti­mus Prime’s body. There were a shit­load of us out there.

The food and cater­ing was awe­some. A lot of down­time. Just like a deployment.

I did an inter­view for the DVD. We will see if that is on it too. The asked me a bunch of ques­tions about the mil­i­tary. The auto­bots are behind me on top of a sand dune. I did a GM plug. They liked that.

Micheal Bay loves the mil­i­tary. I got to speak with him very briefly. He gets so angry on set at the actors but doesn’t dare yell or demean the mil­i­tary. It was a trip. He said some­thing to me like do you want a job as a DA (Direc­tors Assis­tant), I said hell yeah. He was get­ting pissed at his DA. His DA was like trust me you dont want this job.

I have two closeup shots if they do decide to put them in the movie. One was walk­ing with the cam­era on the tracks going along with me but at a slower pace. The cam­era was right on the side of my face fol­low­ing me but at a slower rate. There were two oth­ers behind me. The other close up was while I was defend­ing from a cor­ner of a build­ing on one knee. The boom cam­era went from the ground to over head of us all. I was up front in the scene. The cam­era came up to my face then began to ascend over the area. It was pretty cool.

Another scene was Opti­mus get­ting dropped off by a chi­nook. I had to run up to the area then stop as Opti­mus was get­ting dropped.

Another was with Josh and Tyrese when they argue with The Pres­i­dent on the flight­line. I am in the background.

As much time as I spent film­ing (9–10 hours a day for 4 days) I hope I am seen at least once. Hell I’ll be happy to be on teh DVD.

One of the images also reveals Megan Fox and pos­si­bly Josh Duhamel sit­ting next to a fallen man in a pool of blood, he’s not in mil­i­tary dress and in other images looks like Shia.
TLAMB enter­tain the idea that Revenge of ‘The Fallen’ may per­tain to the fallen Opti­mus Prime, Re: ‘pro­tect Opti­mus Prime’s body’, although they con­clude that this is unlikely, ‘Revenge’ is not very Opti­mus like.
