The Energon Pub

is it just me misinterpreting the hand structure or is the fallen clutching a black disc?

that is perfect for the fallen. so much better than the blocky dreamwave one.

OMG at the very least I hope that I will enjoy the movie b/c Devastator IMHO looks like a dog's breakfast that was vomited out, ate again, digested, crapped out ate again and vomited back up. Looks like Sideswipe is the only one I may be buying from the line so far and I am fine with that.

Because Bionicles are awesome?
Not sure about the anorexia.

Devastator looks f***in awesome!!

i like the way all the vehicles r different colours makes it more real worldy!! if u count the drawings in the back it comes to a total of 9 vehicles!!!!!! just wonderin what its gona b like when the combine!

The fallen looks like the emperor of evil with his red glow, thought he would be a little more bluky tho but i guess hes gonna be pretty tall!

Also i may not be looking hard enough but i cant spot the Constructicon we've already seen anywhere in that mashup.

If you Look next to his head on the background it has a picture of the excavator constructicon and is labled 'Torso' which would explain the orangey upper body...

Either way, the wind doesn't care and it isn't going to stop!

You can only bend something to a certain point, before it snaps just as well.

I was merely trying to get my point across in a non-confrontational, zen-like manner. You're not helping. That's o.k. We are all brothers and sisters in this great big world...

But if you wake up in the morning and the inside of your sandals are soggy, this brother knows nothing about it.

...and on a different note, has anybody managed to dig up any info about the individual units of Dev's? Why would they give us one individual toy, one CGI shot of the whole thing in a less than stellar pose, and release nothing else that could help us in any way appreciate the CGI photo more? I appreciate the effort of the photo but they did not do themselves (or us) any favors with the pose he is in.

DavidT is correct in that there are only 7 visible vehicle drawings. 8 Total pictures if you count the 'Con logo. There is space where other pictures "might" be or fit into behind Devastator, but there are no border marks leading into those areas as there are around the other 7. Few artistists would waste time making a portions of a background that they knew full well were never going to be seen. I thought there were more at first but had to really nitpick until my curiosity was satisfied.

The Fallen looks positively terrifying, my god it's wonderful.
Something with Devaststor's head is a bit off, but I'll probably get used to it.
No complaints here.

Both are impressive looking and you can certainly tell that the studios spent some well earned time and money on the effects. And while I wouldn't want to meet Devastator down a dark alley, I'm much more impressed and intrigued by The Fallen. Finally, my curiosity is peaked and and slowly squashing the skepticism that I have been feeling.

For some reason, Devastator reminds me of a WH40k Ork, same hunched stance and proportions.

The Fallen looks awesome. Very Egyptian in nature to me, and very sinister looking. I detect a more ninja-style evil in him as opposed to Megatron's brutish, kill-it-all style of evil.

Devestator's body looks like an overgrown metal ape with a hunch back head and his face is lighten up like a cigar. Fallen looks like the queen from aliens ,and the same color scheme of Carnage, an enemy of Spiderman. Michael Bay boy you outdone yourself in the lowest way possible.

holy freaking god, i think i just sh*t myself

*sarcasm* TRUKK NOT MUNKY!!! *sarcasm*

The Fallen, not bad. Appropriately menacing.

Devestator - he might look better animated, but motionless, blah.

Correction, that should be the plural TRUKKZ NOT MUNKY!!!

ok,heres my geuss to what the backstory on the fallen could be;

the cybertronians live in peace,until one day the fallen came in and convinced megatron to turn on them and the war started...

...the fallen goes after the allspark but crashes in egypt and is put under the pyramids by egyptians....

....the fallen tells megatron to lead his army to earth to looks for the allspark and then locate him,but sam and the autobots find it and then kill megatron and pracically all of the decepticons...

....starscream goes back to cybertron to get a new army(probably left there to invade later once megatron conquered everything)now that megatron is dead and that he is there new leader...

....he returns with his army to destroy the autobots,who go to egypt because jetfire told them about the fallen's history...

...they fight,and accidently free the fallen because they blow up the pyramids....

....soundwave revives megatron,then there is this big battle beetween megatron,soundwave and the fallen,starscream's army,and the autobots....

if that's even partially correct,this movie would be in a nutshell-
explosions
explosions
explosions
tits
explosions
explosions
talking
explosions
explosions
shia going "nononono"
explosions
explosions
more tits
talking
end

Devastator is going to be ginormous! Crazy.

The Fallen -- interesting how that will play out.

I agree with others that I don't know how the Autobots are going to have a fighting chance in this movie.


As far as The Fallen and Devastator not looking like Transformers and the whole blame Michael Bay for taking our beloved franchise the wrong way...

... come on. Remember when Beast Wars came out? Tons of G1 fans hated the idea -- but warmed up to it in time. TF Animated comes out many years later... people hated the designs, but warmed up to it after realizing how well it took parts we loved from G1 and Beast Wars and even TF1 Movie and melded them together.

I honestly did not like Megatron's design for the first movie nor Starscreams. But they've grown on me. I've watched the first movie over and over again. I'm still amazed.

Could any of us believe years ago that we'd have Spielberg as the Exec. Producer, and also former fans of G1 writing and doing artwork for modern TF action movies, and seeing characters we loved from childhood (Optimus, Ironhide, Megatron, Starscream, Soundwave, Devastator) on the big screen?

Is it exactly what I expected? No. But neither was Beast Wars or Animated. Is it perfect in my mind? No. Neither is Beast Wars and Animated. But I still enjoy them all. They all grew on me.

Give it a chance and be open to this "TF Universe" that we should be thankful is on the big screen.

The biggest question will be the plot. Beast Wars and Animated had pretty good writing (especially compard to G1 and Armada!) The 2007 movie was about introducing the world to Transformers. In TF:RotF, the villains will be there... we'll have to wait and see about the plot come June. If the plot sucks after you watch it, then feel free to crucify it. But give the movie a chance until then.

You have a great deal of common sense, sir.

Think nothing of it, tovarishch.

How very disappointingly unoriginal. The fallen is missing his tail and Devastator looks as though he was made by Katamari.

Luckily for the autobots they have this guy

What? No! You must either love this thing based entirely on one static image or hate it with every ounce of your soul.

There's no room for the rational or sensible in the transformers fandom!

And this is the comment of the decade. Beautifully put sir.

Now then, Devastator is awesome. I actually kinda expected him to look that way too. A huge hulking, mish-mashed beast. For me it fits. I love the OG combiners, but always thought if the scale of the vehicles were correct, all of them would be asymmetrical hulking brutes. I like. Can't wait for the toy.

As for The Fallen, hmmmmmmm....I dunno. Not sure what to think. For an ancient Transformer, he looks way more advanced then the protoforms for the other TFs. Almost as if the current generation of TFs in the movieverse are more primitive than the ancient ones, I half expected it to be the other way around. But I'm sure, like with the last movie, even the most hideous renders will look better on screen and in motion.

I find the Devastator and Fallen design awesome, the Fallen looks very evil and ancient and Devastator looks, oh well.., like he's going to kick major ass and destroy stuff in this movie.

I'm just not happy with the fact that the Decepticons always get the coolest designs and also the bigger size robots.
I mean, lets be real for a moment here, what damage can Mudflap, Jolt, Arcee and Skids actually inflict on a decepticon as big as some of these bad dudes are? They are going to have to be very creative.
Hopefully Jetfire will come out bigtime for the Autobots in this film.
