good im am really pleased megs is back!

I hope even though meggs, the fallen and devastator are in it, that starscream still gets a bigger role... maybe the film would start with starscream searching for the fallen. Then they find out that the fallen can resserect meggs. but unable to pinpoint his location in the ocen exactly, all the transformers dumped in the sea at the end of the 1st film all come back

which would hopefully meen jazz

I have a question to all of you though....
If Megs and The fallen are in this, who will be more powerful out of the two?
Will Meggs be because he is leader of the decepticons, or will the fallen be because he was part of the original 13?

Was this something that Michael Bay or someone involved with the movie denied a while ago?

Yes one of the producers or so stated it was an old concept for Megatron for TF1 and Bay said it was just a design made for the FAB and not in the Movie.

Shame on him to lie about it, especially when it had already been made so apparent.

I knew that Megatron was always in the sequel, Also I am pretty sure Starscream brings him back somehow.


But what I wanna know is will Megatron have a bigger role than he did in the 1st movie which wasnt even 10 or 15 minutes.

Also how will Megatron be brought back to life or will he already be in the movie somehow.


The Allspark Shard or The Spark of Scorpinok still is unkown on how the fallen leader will be brought back from the dead.

ehh...let em have there fun.. :P It's not like they know any better...and let's face it, we're more confused now about the storyline than ever...there may be a remote chance that Megs is needed to take out the Fallen and is forced to work with the Autobots...(yeah yeah, I know..not gonna happen..LOL)

cough duh cough cough........ if megatron wasnt going to be in this film we wouldnt see any concept art, or toys proved that he was in it all along image of if he wasnt going to be in it or toy figures as well

It is among their less enlightening revelations.

My (fake) money is on Megs returning towards the end, so that they can showcase all the other characters before hand.

You could have knocked me over with a feather.


So Is Hugo Weaving doing the voice again?

well, at least it is nice to have our guess confirmed :)

Jazz may indeed return.

i know IMDB isnt the most acurate site sometimes but Jazz is listed in the credits, and its the same actor providing his voice...Eddie from Family Matters. not that it even sounds like him with the voice effects but its nice they didnt recast.

Amen to that! I want to hear our great Frank Welker. Him not being in the first movie was my greatest disapointment. Even if he does another character instead, even if it's not Soundwave, at least I want to hear him in the movie doing some character's voice!

He wouldn't have an fab or a legend if hge wasn't in it either

I guess we can let that other thread about "proof" that Megatron will be in the new movie -- where some stated the TV spot with the con pinning down Sam (with supposed tank treads in the back) and the concept art and FAB toy and missile game with Megs on cover was the "proof" -- and many said it wasn't proof...

now we have Orci's statement

voila, our "proof" :APPLAUSE:

With this confirmation and the leader class toy, Galvatron speculation also dies...

Not to sound rude or anything, but most of us figured this out a long time ago, so how this can be anything even approximating news is beyond me.

Still, nice to finally have it out in the open.

Hardly shocked. Surprised that he is not called Galvatron for the sequel though.
