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’

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.

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:

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.

Bum­ble­bee

The pack­ag­ing for a Revenge of the Fallen Mis­sile Mania game fea­tures a redesigned Mega­tron on its front cover, despite sup­pos­edly not being in the movie:

For more clues on Megatron’s return we need only turn to the back of the toy boxes:

Starscream:

The moment his sen­sor net reg­is­tered Mega­tron going offline, Starscream knew that bat­tle was over and the Allspark lost. He con­verted to vehi­cle mode and boosted for outer space, hop­ing to buy enough time to rally the Decep­ti­con sur­vivors. Return­ing from Cybertron bear­ing the marks won dur­ing his reign over the Decep­ti­con army, he is cocused on con­quest. With a new army behind him, he has the strength to pur­sue his own goals, and per­haps, when the time is right, bring Mega­tron back.

Not to men­tion the Mega­tron Tank mode…

The-Arker have posted some close up shots of the new Bum­ble­bee toy along with the Sam Witwicky action fig­ure as well as box art for Opti­mus Prime and Starscream. Note the side of the box promi­nently fea­tur­ing Sam Witwicky and Mega­tron, rumored to reap­pear in the movie:
