The latest Toyfare magazine has some juicy gossip bits about Transformers 2, primarily that Devastator will be up to 120 foot tall and that The Fallen is one of the original 13 Transformers, the one that went bad — playing on the apostles theology.
Tim Formas surmised the article:
- Images of ROTF toys for Leader class Optimus Prime, Preview Bumblebee, Preview Soundwave, and the Voyager Class Starscream figure.
– Lorenzo believes the timeframe of ROTF is about one year after Movie #1.
– When asked about the challenge of creating Devastator on screen, Lorenzo mentions that Bay had the challenge in the first movie of having 30 foot robots. In the second movie, Bay has the challenge of having a robot almost four times that. Expect Devastator to be 100 to 120 feet tall in the movie.
– Archer said he couldn’t give away the plot point, but there’s a reason that Soundwave is designed the way he is for the movie. Hasbro had a more basic toy need. So, the two were blended together.
– Toy launch date confirmed as May 30th. A few weeks before, Bumblebee and Soundwave will be released.
– Characters mentioned in the initial wave are “Sideswipe, Sideways, Bulldozer, Voyager and many others”. Promise of more off-screen characters.
– Robot Heroes will have better articulation
– Bumblebee helmet has voice mixer
– Bumblebee converting pulse cannon
– Big ticket deluxe item for the year is still “top-secret“
– Gravity Bots are geared towards younger kids. Convert automatically when you pick them up.
– A Megan Fox Human Alliance figure is on Archer’s “wish list”.
– The Fallen’s origin confirmed: He is one of the original 13 Transformers. Lorenzo said to think of the 13 as “apostles”. The Fallen is the one who turns and is the reason Transformers split into Autobots and Decepticons.
