If you look behind Sam, you can clearly see treads and a very familiar knee pad. Not to mention the "fingers" holding him are slinder just like Meg's toy. Just letting it out, you never know.

Michael Bay just came out and informed that Megatron is definitely in ROTF. But according to Bay, we will see Megatron only in the past on Cybertron.

Yeah, right... sure, Michael Bay. :roll:

lol, I knew that. More lies, lol. But why would they make a Leader, Legend, and FAB Megatron if he wasn't "back"? Hell, they wouldn't make a universe Jazz and that's just a deluxe that a ton of people wanted. And I sincerely think that it's Megatron holding Sam. He wants revenge. Technically, there's no reason for the Fallen to want Sam, because The Fallen was "asleep" when the whole fiasco happened. Could be Starscream or a new Decepticon, I guess we'll have to wait and see. But, if it is Ol' Megs, I called it, lol.

After Seibertron.com broke the news from actor Hugo Weaving that Megatron would be in the next film (Thanks to our Australian Friends), Michael Bay then posted a message on his official website stating that "the cat was out of the bag", but goes on to explain away the tank alt mode, and how Megatron makes his appearance.

"Okay cat is out of the bag. Megatron is back ---- but you will only get to see him from the long lost past. We go way back in time as this movie explains the mythology of the Primes. He is not a tank like everyone suggests, but an alien vehicle. But sadly he does not has much screen time."

Seibetron.com's movie news...be here when revenge happens.

This is good news to me, as stated in my last post about Hugo Weaving being back, I'm not happy, but so far it seems my wish for him to have even fewer lines than the last movie seem to be true, but this is coming from Bay himself, who apparently can't form a proper sentence:

...But sadly he does not has much screen time.

Intersting that we could get to see Cybertron's past more. It is becoming painfully obvious that Michael Bay is a terrible liar xD

Seriously...the dude should never play poker. I highly doubt Hasbro would release a new Megatron toy that has the alt-mode of a tank...much less make it so very detailed if Megatron is only a cameo character.

Well, although Mr. Bay isn't the best liar, his story has one thing going, and that's that Megatron still has a Cybertronian mode (as far as I can tell anyways). If Megatron were on Earth, how would he manage to become a vehicle that isn't from our planet? (unless he already scanned it a long time ago and just stored the info, or maybe Soundwave relayed him some new data Cybertron or something)

If true...

I TOLD YOU SO!!!!

Thu Mar 05, 2009 8:47 pm

if it's only in the past where he appears how do you explain the following?:

1.if it's WAY back in time,how does his robot mode appear so different?(you could say "he reformatted",but how would he reformat into a cybertronian vehicle?)

2.how is he holding down sam in the middle of a freeway?(unless sam is 10 billion years old!)

3.you've made 3 toys of him(legend,fab,and leader) and you say he only appears for a little while?(that's bad marketing)

4.if he only appears in the past,how does starscream's bio say that he brings megatron back?

5.why the hell did hugo weaving confirm his ressurection has something to do with that smallspark?

Cat's out of the bag? Yeah, as of August or September of last year, at least, I do believe.

And considering the well recognizable gimp hand of Megs returning hide is in the trailer restraining Sam, well, unless they're getting into time travel, this Bayshit claim of "you will only get to see him from the long lost past" is about as honest as "he won't be in the movie".

Cullen-on-a-bike, I'm so happy if so many fans dig Bay's Transformers and if Bay fans love his films so much, and if he's some powerhouse of movie making talent in the eyes of so many, but maybe he could just STFU for a while on the lying? Can we have that? Just silence instead of bs?

Is it bad that I kind of hope that ROTF is just 2 hours of Rick Astley dancing?

You know that would have better acting, music, and entertainment value than any crap Hollywood could EVER put out.

Yeah ok sure what ever you say Bay. Every thing he says about this movie is a lie so why stop now?

that's the smoking gun for me right there. As far as him not being in the film that much;Megatron could be dead for most of the movie and that scene could be the very end where we'd have a cliff hanger type ending where we'll have to wait till the next one to see what happens to Sam.

that would suck more than alien 3 and alien ressurection combined

For a character in it "for a brief time" he sure is getting a lot of figures. :-?

Marketing, and the fact Hasbro doesn't want to lose the Megatron name. Besides, outside of a breif glimps of the hand, we really haven't seen a screen shot of Megatron in this film.

2.how is he holding down sam in the middle of a freeway?(unless sam is 10 billion years old!)

Vision. Dream. Continued attempts at misdirection by the director.

3.you've made 3 toys of him(legend,fab,and leader) and you say he only appears for a little while?(that's bad marketing)

Again, it could be because Hasbro doesn't want to lose its copyrights on the name.

4.if he only appears in the past,how does starscream's bio say that he brings megatron back?

It's been a LONG Transformers tradition that the bios on the toys don't usually match with what we see in the movies or TV series.

Besides, think about this: why would Starscream of all Decepticons want Megatron back. Soundwave maybe, but Starscream?

5.why the hell did hugo weaving confirm his ressurection has something to do with that smallspark?

Misdirection again?

Or maybe the smallspark is what is responsible for Sam's vision. The whole movie will make things more clear.

Thu Mar 05, 2009 9:48 pm

I just finished reading the movie prequel novel again, and I noticed that in part it talked about Bumblebee picking a land mode over an arial mode when Starscream is on his tail, implying that storing multiple alt modes is possible (makes since, it's just data that tells them what to look like when the transform. If that's true, then Megatron could be in the Cybertron parts only. But I still think that is him in the trailer attacking sam.

Thu Mar 05, 2009 9:54 pm

at this point i dont believe a thing he says.

News Credits: 1 · Thu Mar 05, 2009 10:33 pm

You know, I wish Bay would just keep his d@mned wordhole shut. His whole "misinformation campaign" has fallen flat on it's face, and he doesn't even have the sense to just stop. Pretty obvious that ol' Megs is gonna have a bit more time on the screen than he's saying. You know with 3 toys, a few renders we saw months ago, a glimpse of body parts that match said renders and toys in the trailer, and oh yeah, Meg's VA saying that he's been resurrected in the movie.

With all the crap Bay is spewing, I'm sure there's no difference between his butthole and his mouth.
