Update 3:Final Transformers 2 Trailer released in HD (30th April 2009)
See also our in depth analysis of the trailer with high quality screenshots of all the key scenes, robots and Megan Fox.
Update: A lot of people are reaching this page looking for the high definition version of the Transformers 2 trailer, thus I present to you two handy links:
- Ravage is the beast like creature, matching leaked concept designs
–A very large transformer emerging through a bridge as Optimus Prime jumps on his head, matching the leaked Terex RH400 toy’s head and arms, rolling along on one giant wheel (EDIT: Two wheels, thanks Jeffrey). Looks like ONE of the constructicons that makes up the even bigger Devastator. He is also the character destroying the helicopters at Bethlehem Steel works.
- Optimus Prime gets smacked in the face by an unknown entity
- The Audi R8 robot comes crashing through a window before turning into its vehicle alt mode and driving away
- As the Audi R8 drives away you can see more Transformers coming into the screen in the top right, there is a hint of pink on the first one and it seems to be almost skating, I am guessing this is Arcee, a third character is also seen briefly behind her. Screenshots further down. The R8 has previously been seen with Arcee following in the Walmart footage, this is probably an extension of that scene.
- Shia gets confronted by what appears to be Starscream and then is held down by a large claw — the trailer implies this is also Starscream but the claw is very similar to the one on the redesigned Megatron (Seen here). The claw also bears some strange markings, similar to those on the Voyager class toy packages.
The front packaging of the Deluxe Soundwave toy has been released via Action Figure, complete with a CG rendering of Soundwave’s face and a note that the toy will be a ‘triple changer’, basically having two alt modes. This falls in line with the rumors of a Cybertronian Satellite alt-mode, the other being a jet:
It’s almost here. The teaser trailer shall be airing on February 1st, specifically in the third quarter, a few minutes in. The full length trailer will also appear on February 13th, appearing on the internet one week later, although I am sure some leaked versions will make their way around before then.
The Super Bowl spot is coming Sunday in the third Quarter (few minutes into the quarter slot). The spot will be online a few minutes after that — The full length teaser trailer will only be on Friday the Thirteenth. It will not hit the internet until a week later. The Teaser really only teases stuff — I’m holding so much stuff back from the final trailers because I personally hate going to movies where you have seen it all.
More images of the Twins (Skids and Mudflap) in their robot form as well as Megatron with new spiky hands and ‘track’ features as well as a shot of an altered Ironhide robot mode. The game website has now been taken down and instead redirects to Activision.
TFW2005 forum member streetfield1 was at the opening of the Transformers UK Toy Fair and has reported back with some juicy gossip. Beward, MOVIE SPOILERS below:
– Devastator will be around about 2 feet tall and built like a gorilla.
– The Human Alliance Bumblebee that we have been seeing recently will be the first release in his range.
– No toys of the Fallen at present.
– There will be new Robot Replicas of Ironhide, Ratchet and Starscream.
– More information on the RPM — Robot Powered Machines — line. The cars are “Hot Wheels style” and are mainly Autobots, with their robot modes embossed on the bottom. The racetrack has tracks all over the place, and instead of the central “mountain” you sometimes see on these tracks, you’ve got Devastator!
– There will be a radio controlled Optimus Prime truck with Peter Cullen soundclips.
– The tank mode Megatron toy (which version is not specified) was on display, although nobody was available to comment on whether or not he is in the film.
Some footage, featuring animatics, was also shown. If you do not want to be spoiled, look away now!
- Devastator is… devastating! The mixing drum in his chest becomes a massive turbine grinder. It creates a turbine effect, sucking everything in Devastator’s path up, and spitting it out of his back.
– Wheelie is effectively confirmed as a remote controlled car, in line with other rumors we have heard recently.
– Legions of Decepticon drones, resembling Frenzy, will cause carnage in the Witwicky household.
– Sam fights for his life on top of a car against Pretender Alice.
– Captain Lennox also gets to see some serious action against the Decepticons, with full helicopter backup.
Empire have the scoop on the first Official Revenge of the Fallen toy pictures to be released. The article mentions that Soundwave transforms into a supersonic jet rather than the traditional cassette player — however this alt-mode could also be the ‘Cybertronian Satellite’ as previously rumored.
Our first clips of this came earlier in the year from Philadelphia’s Chancellor Street (though it’s meant to be Paris), with footage of Sam’s parents running down a narrow street away from some invisible but deadly threat later to be CG’d in. This video provides an excellent new angle of that scene, starting with Michael Bay and ending with Julie White and Kevin Dunn running towards us:
