Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen.

I hope the key character making a dramatic comeback is Frenzy. That would rock.

I doubt it's that the Fallen, though. However I would happily pay to see a Bay-directed movie starring a CGI robot who's constantly on fire.
Grrr. Argh.

Slightly impractical though, I'd wager.

I'd be happy for them to follow the second US comic arc. IE Shockwave turns up and kills everybody. Wooha.
Grrr. Argh.

I think Shockwave showing up in this movie would rock. :)

Or rather, why not have him show up AFTER Starscreams plot has failed, and all the Autobots are cheering. Re-enacting that famous ending where everybody is gunned down.

Imagine that... a giant sort space-weapon transforms down into a BIG one-eyed Decepticon, touches ground and then turns to the viewer, blasting everything black.

To be Continued... ^^

The audience in the cinemas would go absolutely insane.

ok, that seems an odd move.

hmm...

I guess you could speculate loads about this but it seems a bit of a waste of time until there is a bit more in the way of concrete facts.

Although the geenral idea of a permenantly on fire CGI robots is obvioulsy inspired.

With (supposedly) an ice-cream truck that splits into two twin robots in the next movie, I won't be surprised if the Fallen turns into a coal-stove. :roll:

I don't have high hopes for the new Bayformers especially since seeing a new scene where BB squirts green goo all over a girl. And we thought we had seen it all when BB peed on Agent Simmons.

Well, if they tell the fallen story, i suppose that would require some cool CGI of cybertron/wars/Primus/Unicron etc... considering the story in a Bay film is usually pretty much GSCE standard or below, im hoping for a decent CGI fest instead.

GRAPHIX WHORE!

Taken out of context that's brilliant. Writing a transformer as a bit of sexual deviant.. well its original at least.

The ice cream truck thing - sounds like part of the mis-information scheme to me...

... I hope.

Transformers 2 Details Revealed

Roberto Orci, co-writer of Michael Bay's upcoming sequel Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, told SCI FI Wire that the movie will feature more of the giant robots and more of a science fiction storyline.

"The humor will be similar, but the structure of the movie is a little bit more like many sequels, which is, the stakes are a little higher and the tone is a bit more sci-fi," Orci said in an interview at the Television Critics Association's summer press tour in Beverly Hills, Calif., on July 14. "It's got a little more of a sci-fi element. ... The bad guys are little more coherent in terms of what their plan is and what they're attempting to do. So it feels more like more of a sci-fi battle."

The sequel will also offer a better balance between humans and robots, added Orci, who was promoting his upcoming Fox SF series, Fringe. "Maybe there's less humans," he said. "The first movie was predicated on the structure of a mystery, at which point, at the midpoint, the Transformers are revealed. This movie is structured differently in that you now know there are Transformers in the world, and therefore you can get right to them. As a result, there's kind of more Transformers throughout the movie."

Orci, who co-wrote the first movie and the sequel with partner Alex Kurtzman, remained coy about what new Transformers audiences will see. Arcee, the female Autobot who transforms into a motorcycle, "was in an early draft of the first movie, and she may make an appearance," he said. "We'll see."

But expect to see Soundwave, the Decepticon who was cut out of the first film. "Yes," Orci said. "Soundwave's in it." It's unclear whether he will transform into a tape deck, as in previous incarnations, or into something else.

Orci also declined to comment on rumors that the film will spend a bit more time on the Transformer homeworld of Cybertron.

But Orci promised that fans won't be disappointed. "If you liked the first one, you'll like this one," he said. "But if you were a genuine fan of what Transformers was and felt a little bit left behind by the first one, I think this one's going to be more for you." Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is in production now with an eye to a June 26, 2009, release.
