Robot Speculation: Constructicons and Devastator April 5th, 2008

The IESB have thrown out their Trans­form­ers 2 robot roll call, and with it they state that the Decep­ti­cons shall have the help of the Con­struc­ti­cons in the sec­ond movie.

In the car­toons, their names were Scrap­per, Bonecrusher, Scav­enger, Mix­mas­ter, Hook and Long Haul. And what do we get when they all com­bine and form one huge ass robot? That’s right boys and girls, we are going to see DEVASTATOR on the big screen!

… I’ll re-iterate that. Dev­as­ta­tor is big.

Here’s a pretty awe­some fan mock-up of what Dev­as­ta­tor may look like in the movie, cre­ated by Rise Stu­dios. A cin­e­matic adap­ta­tion of this char­ac­ter shall prob­a­bly appear a lot more com­plex than this, to fit in with the style already set out by the first movie.

Transformers 2 - Devastator

As for the human side of the argu­ment, IESB have posted up a prospec­tive char­ac­ter list which is now wait­ing to be cast:

[CHUCK] 19–25 yrs., Sam’s room­mate at Prince­ton. He runs a con­spir­acy the­ory web­site. Funny in an irrev­er­ent, edgy way, he is shocked to see his con­spir­acy the­o­ries come to life. (2nd Lead)

[PROFESSOR COLAN] 40s, Sam’s physics pro­fes­sor at Prince­ton. He’s a self-satisfied intel­lec­tual who com­pares him­self to Ein­stein, and is arro­gant enough to wear leather pants to look cool. (1 Scene)

Optimus Prime spotted in LA April 5th, 2008

Another of our vehic­u­lar friends has turned up on the streets, this time it is the ever recog­nis­able Opti­mus Prime. These were taken on the 405 Free­way in Los Ange­les. The bots are on the move — per­haps they are being col­lected together for the begin­ning of a Trans­form­ers 2 shoot?

Barricade Spotted in the Wild April 2nd, 2008

Film School Rejects have posted some high­way pic­tures of Bar­ri­cade being trans­ported through Cul­ver City. They are Saleen Mus­tangs with the Decep­ti­con logo on the side pan­els. Note that mul­ti­ple cars are used for film­ing. Rumors sug­gest that Trans­form­ers 2 film­ing may be in prepa­ra­tion, though I’d hes­i­tate — we’ll prob­a­bly have to wait a lit­tle longer.
