According to ToxicShock.tv, Revenge of the Fallen director Michael Bay has released a new poster for promotion of the upcoming sequel to the blockbuster hit of last summer, 2007.



Included with the poster is a synopsis of the film:

The battle for Earth has ended but the battle for the universe has just begun. After returning to Cybertron, Starscream assumes command of the Decepticons, and has decided to return to Earth with force. The Autobots believing that peace was possible finds out that Megatron’s dead body has been stolen from the US Military by Skorpinox and revives him using his own spark. Now Megatron is back seeking revenge and with Starscream and more Decepticon reinforcements on the way, the Autobots with reinforcements of their own, may have more to deal with then meets the eye.

No report was seen on Michael Bay's website Shoot For the Edit at the time of posting to support this statement, so for the time being, treat this as rumor.

source new tf2 poster

wow that is the fakest of fake stuff ever

Yep.

I've seen pic of Prime somewhere else...

That's a shot from the end of film one, isn't it? When Prime's sending out the message?

Consider the source.

Who is this guy? And why does he post nothing else but movie fodder?

I especially like the indistinct blur at the bottom of the picture. That's some quality Photoshoppin'.

Well, I think the real giveaway is the complete and total lack of company logos...No Dreamworks. No Paramount. No copyright notices of any kind.

Studio lawyers are a tad more fire exit than this guy gives them credit for.

Another giveaway would be the fact that Prime looking wistfully off into the sun evokes less "Revenge of the Fallen" and more "I wish my girlfriend hadn't dumped me."

Skorpinox?!


Also, needs more lense flare!!!

what I don't like is how that's a very nice blue sky yet prime seems to be covered in a purple light with some heavy shadows so I guess it is the last shot of the movie just off hue with a new back ground

also that story tagged onto the post given all the effort to keep the story hush hush posting it now would be lame

but I do see this fooling a lot of normal people

lol, artist pwned

Fixed. It's totally official!

Alright, that elicited a snicker.

I've seen that pic of Prime before. Its from the Transformers movie video game. 99% fake... (The 1 percent is the real title at the bottom, lol).

also another thing just got me... 2 suns


one low giving the clouds at the bottom shadows at the top and one high giving us that lens flair crap

What a twist!

*can't wait for (.Y.) to add himself to the picture*

No... that won't be happening...

Yet another twist. See him? lol

Haha the fakeness is totally fake when the first line says, "Take a look at the latest fan made movie poster from the upcoming film"

that's a pic of prime from one of the video game cut scenes

ha. The first thing that notified me of it's fakeness was that prime has the same body of the first movie. I'd like to keep it, but, knowing Hasbro(and to an extent, Bay), they will have all the still alive main characters change their formats To sell toys.



My guess is that the story reason is that they attracted to much attention in their old modes, so the got new ones to keep the media away (they got it easy).

Didn't see it right away with poster but that summery was beyond terrible.

Also there is no way Bay would realese that much plot information this eary on.

So Scorponok steals Megatron's body from the deapths of the ocean and revives him with his own spark.

That's about the stupidest f*cking thing I've ever read anywhere.

Yea I know right? I mean, Scorponok? That would be just weird to see a giant scorpion crawling to the very bottom of the ocean and using his claws to take out his spark and put it into Megatron. What happens next? Megatron wakes up and goes, "eh, sorry bout that Scorp.", and then goes to find a tank to scan?

Tatooine’D

Um the falseness is proven in the second sentence. After returning to Cybertron... Cybertron is dead, the bots, and cons all abandoned Cybertron.

I guess you have not being reading the comic. Screamer goes back and takes control of cybertron and thats another loop hole since they are making the comic so that it slides in with the movie

Makes you wonder where Prime and his buddies rocketed down to Earth from.

either way that's a f*cking long trip

here is the thing that really cues me to fakeness


i cant believe the hasbro would attempt to recycle the prime design AS IS, it may not be drastic but prie is gonna have to be updated to sell more toys

I only have RoS 1, and 2 haven't found 3 yet and if you mean where Starscream goes in #2 that isn't Cybertron it is probably Mars since that is where they supposedly landed on their way here.

My only question is what planet did Arcee, and the rest of the Autobots land the "Ark" on? I know they are probably on a planet here in the solar system but I'm not sure which one, and I doubt it is Mars since they'd be fighting the cons if they were there together, and we know it isn't Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, or Neptune since they all have such immense gravity that they'd probably be crushed, and Mercury, and Venus are probably too close to the sun for them. So that leaves Pluto, and a whole bunch of moons through out the solar system.

*Hopes it's Cruithne, for the nerdgasm this would cause to millions*

Poor forgotten Moons.


Edit: And if we count Pluto as a planet, they've got a good Fifteen to chose from before having to resort to actual Moons.

I think the in-movie design will be largely unchanged. We'll just get new, more movie accurate toy molds.

And we'll buy them.

I can't be bothered to go back and look up if anyone mentioned this yet, but:

Trailer, anyone?

Movie trailer or semi truck trailer?

I assume you understand it's too soon for the movie trailer and assume you meant semi - there's no indication Prime will receive such an upgrade, and Hasbro has made some positively anti-toys with trailers statements as of late.

Yeah, semi trailer is what I meant. Or perhaps camping trailer.

Wow. I reread my post and I sound all nerdy..."there is no indication...upgrade...Hasbro statements."

*sigh*

I yam what I yam.

Assuming all those Bots will get updated designs ... all those on-set pics showing up lately would be fake too ... might explain the old, rusty, just too damn silly icecream van

Oh, and some spoilered text, just to provide you with the joy of interaction. Isn't it great ?

Sigh....building a CGI model of the complexity that we saw in TF1 costs money. A lot of money. So not only does reusing the character models of the returning TF1 cast make sense, it's also been confirmed.

Prime, 'Bee, Ironhide, Ratchet, Starscream, and Barricade (maybe) will return with their TF1 bodies intact, because lets face it, it makes the most sense economically for them to do so.

Hobbes hit the nail on the head; any new toys of returning bots from the first film will more likely be better, more accurate toys of existing designs.

I agree. LC OP had several flaws. namely his arms not being in the nose of the truck like they were in the movie. I know hasbro can do a better job at an OP toy. I'll give them brownie points if they can make one with an opening mouth plate. Maybe hasbro should consider SUPREME CLASS. If it would allow for a transformation accurate enough to at least put his limbs in the correct places. That's all I ask.

And as for other characters, they can definitely introduce a new toy of Munky in LC. With the presence of hands, a much more elaborate transformation, and maybe some sort of electronics. Not to mention an F-22 mode with a completely redone undercarriage.

But how would they improve upon Ironhide, Ratchet, Bumblebee, and Barricade (if he's in the movie)? I personally felt voyager Ironhide was spot on. And Deluxe Bumblebee was amazing enough to be damn near impossible to find.

I don't care where the limbs go between modes, I just care that he look right. I could never get over the LC's Prime's proportions.


Though I really like the Voyager figure we got, a new and improved Starscream mold is a must.


Stacks. And maybe more accurate cannons. Otherwise it was a solid figure.


Yeah, I'm pretty content with the one we got.


I don't think any of the transformable Deluxe class toys really captured his face properly. Except the Premium/Stealth mold, but that's cheating.


The torso could stand to be improved on.

You guys are nuts if you think the TF2 toys are gonna be significantly different (read: improved) from the TF1 toys. They may not always make good display pieces, but they're also for kids who play with them and chuck them in their toy boxes and stuff.

I prefer the playability of them. I don't really buy collector's pieces. I do think there are some mold issues that can be overcome now that Hasbro knows what the final movie models look like.

Prime's abdomen, for instance.

And I want a Prime with a mouth, dagnabbit!

Though as a counterpoint to my own post, the movie toys we do own have ended up in pieces EVERYWHERE.

I'll settle for that. Better proportions are more important to me than how he transforms. though I admit I do enjoy the complexity of the movie toys' transformations.

Oh and I thought of something more on Ironhide. Perhaps some way of articulating his waist and ankles. Otherwise I agree with you. His ballistic cannons should really be able to shoot its missiles without being attached to the other cannon. Too bad there's no way you could fit electronics in his beam cannon. I'd love to see a flashing barrel with blasting sounds.

They have the Optimus Prime and Megatron Leader toys done already & they ARE new. They are BrandNeW molds and theyplan to give the rest of the crew new molds as well. Since they are releasing a Megatron, my guess is he is in the movie. But no confrimation from Bay or Paramount just yet.




I dont see why everyone said that before the movie came out that his abdomen was different then it really was. There was ONE picture on a european magazine that came out waaaaay before the movie that showed it this way. It wasnt in the film and the toy was a pretty good representation of Prime. Especially the Premium version. I AGREE on you about the mouth, as long as it looks right. Also they need to chrome up his grill and back of cab (like the movie was its AWESOMENESS) and give him a proper transformation this time that is sound AND has excellent articualtion. But like i said, he is finished and was shown off at Takara this month.




Well, thats not exactly what was written. It said that Megatron was stolen from the U.S. government, NOT the deep sea. Just wanted to point that out, as other ppl agreed with you and it wasnt even correct.

OK NOW, about the poster., Its a fake, thats obvious. The story sounds almost real as it uses parts from what IDW hints what is about to happen. Read and believe.

It was that way in the film, dude.

Significantly different.

True. Point well taken, and shown. I like the movie version betta! No worries though Hasbro should hook us up .... this time.

I was thinking & you were talking about the argument that was way back in 2007, about his chest being one way or the other. I was looking at the movie and it seems he may have the abilty to move his parts around (chest pieces?) to make different looks and this could explain wjy you see his grill in some positions and not in others. ?? Anyways, cheers.

Good point out Hobbes! lol

It's possible. I don't recall ever seeing the grill in the film the way the toy depicts it, but there's a lot of shots of Prime in the film.

Actually, there is a very simple reason why the toy abdomen looks different from the final movie abdomen. The toy was designed using an earlier concept design, specifically the design immediately preceding the final movie design. This was done because Hasbro and Takara had to start production well before the movie was completed, and the animators had made improvements in the interim.

As for the movie makers using the same animation models for the returning characters, yes, that is proibably what they'll do, but they will also need to modify at least one of them—Bumblebee. His current animation model is based upon the Concept Camaro, not the production model. His RotF alternate form is the final production Camaro, which is slightly different, than the concept design, particularly in the hood and fog lights in the front bumper. Those—the lights in particular—will need to be altered in his animation model.
