Movie Chronicles
Transformers 2 art work from Ben Proctor reveals the robots that made the cut, and more interestingly, those that didn’t. Stealth boats, nuclear subs that take down aircraft carriers and alternative constructicons. We also get a look at the inner workings of many decepticons, including eye details on The Fallen, an early Devastator design and pretender Alice, tongue and all.
I’d consider this one a bit spoilerish. Sideswipe attacking Sideways quite viciously, “they’ve been here a long time”, Megatron on the pyramids.
Little new snippet of The Fallen in this one. “Don’t freak out!”
Lots more of Devastator’s transformation.
Here are nine ultra high resolution (~2,000 x 3,000 res) promotional shots from Revenge of the Fallen — showing the autobots, Megan Fox, Shia and soldiers; clocking in at just shy of 45mb in total.
A few more pictures of the Legends class Devastator toy have surfaced via ACToys, this is the version that combines seven vehicles into one robot, as well as each vehicle having its own robot mode. This also our first good look at Overload that bears some resemblance to Long Haul.
Five new Official Transformers 2 photos show Megan Fox in a leather jacket, Sam Witwicky in front of Bumblebee, Optimus Prime driving off an aircraft, the Autobots and Tyrese Gibson.
Optimus Prime driving off a large aircraft is particularly interesting — notably the plane could be the as of yet unnamed (but similar to ‘Silverbot’) aircraft autobot that we have seen in toy form.
Thanks for the heads up Jason!
New images of the Ice Cream truck, Arcee, Ravage, Jetfire, Jolt and more have appeared on the Walmart website, unearthed by “Heat Guy”. Here are a few of the highlights:
Skids and Mudflap combine to form the Ice Cream truck alt mode:
These next characters may not appear in the movie:
(aka a red Sideswipe)
Thanks for the heads up R.
The official Transformers 2 final trailer is now available at Yahoo in high definition and subsequently YouTube:

Yayabee at The Arker has posted images of a new Transformers 2 toy. It is an autobot that appears to have an alt mode of a Antonov An-225 aircraft — inside it carries a very small Optimus Prime. The AN-225 is a Russian craft that matches the rear wing and underside design of the toy as well as carrying a spacecraft on top, though it has two additional engines and the nose cone appears different. It also has similarities with the C-130 Hercules.
Whether this character shall appear in ROTF is debatable — it is plausible that the Autobots board the craft (maybe at the Boneyard) to travel to Egypt, but it doesn’t make sense for a Russian plane to be there. Another angle is the craft is originally supplied by the combined UN force in a bid to help fight the Decepticons.
