Seibertron.com has once again received some new information regarding "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen", currently scheduled for release on June 26th 2009. Our source wishes to remain anonymous but is reliable.

Please be warned that this information contains many huge spoilers. If you do not want to be spoiled, do not read any further.

- As mentioned before, Soundwave's alternate mode is a satellite. Our source, however, cannot personally confirm the other reported rumour of Soundwave also turning into a pickup truck.

- Our source confirms the recently reported rumour that Optimus Prime will combine with Jetfire.

- Ravage uses biological warfare against the humans.

- Jetfire can create wormholes.

- Scorpinok will return.

- Our source does not know if the three "Arcee" motorbikes seen in the Wal-Mart exclusive video combine to form Arcee or not - but our source does tell us that the Arcee bikes have not been on set for months, leading to speculation that the character may die early on in the film. CLARIFICATION: Many fans are assuming this could be misleading because the movie is filmed out-of-sequence. While this may be true for most movies, The action scenes for "Revenge of the Fallen" have, for the most part, been filmed in chronological order. The first was filmed in Bethlehem, PA (confirmed by "The Morning Call" - Bethlehem newspaper) and the film's climactic sequence filmed recently at White Sands (confirmed by our source and other on-set reports)

Stay tuned to Seibertron.com's Transformers Movie section as we will update as more information becomes available.

Arcee dies early in the movie? What is that for? That's stupid!

It's speculation. :idea:

Movies aren't always shot in sequence. So its also possible that Arcee appears late in the movie. Rachet has hardly appeared as well. I'm taking this with a mountain pile of salt.

Except the stuff they've been filming at the Holloman Air Force Base and White Sands was hinted at by ET and The Insider as being the final big climax of the film (it doesn't surprise me, they were filming there for quite some time)

The stuff they filmed in early June at Bethlehem PA (as Shanghai) was confirmed to be the first big action scene of the film.

So this may be one of the rare occassions where the big action scenes of the film (the first "Shanghai" sequence in Bethlehem and the last "Egypt" sequence at White Sands) were actually filmed in order.

this doesnt sound right ill believe whan i see it or get facts first i dont trust this "source person"

- Ravage uses biological warfare against the humans.

- Jetfire can create wormholes.

- Skorpinok will return.---thats good to here but what about barricade?

Ravage uses biological warfare im an idiot yes but biological warfare thats chemical weaposn right? sounds wierd that ravvage would do such a thing like that doesnt sound like ravage

Jetfire can create wormholes.< just like vector prime in cybertron series someone else did it i think i cant remember

All these rumors sound suspect, but hey, thats why they're rumors. The real fun comes with how these rumors work into the film.

I still think the whole Arcee is three bikes rumor is just the dumbest thing on Earth, followed by Prime "linking" with Jetfire.

This may be a movie where we want more human interaction.

Sweet, the first movie kills off a black TransFormer for Racism and now this movie kills off the female TransFormer for Sexism. Michael Bay's hidden grudges???? :-?

Prime combining with anyone is not good. Soundwave as a pickup? Maybe that jock's truck.

This is interesting.
The Arcee bikes idea and even moreso Prime combining with Jetfire are both pretty obvious nods to the AEC kids.
Ravage using chemical weapons? May seem odd for the Ravage of G1, but kinda seems to fit with Ravage as he was seen in Beast Wars. Perhaps we'll get a thick Russian accent again?

All in all, these are still technically rumors, but none of them are horribly upsetting ideas for me, so I'll just keep hoping for the best until I see it onscreen.

just because Arcee's alt mode only appears briefly does not mean her robot mode is not in the movie for longer. The same applies to ratchet.

Sad that arcee dies so early. Could be for Optimus to kick some Decep butt to seek revenge. All good if that is how it pans out.

by **Jonnald** » Fri Oct 17, 2008 6:54 pm

why is everybody 'sad that arcee is gonna die' we still dont even know if shes in the movie let alone if its those three bikes

anyhoo, im glad ravage+soundwave are gonna be in the movie but i hope soundwave does come down from being a satelite and becomes something equally 'soundwavey' on earth. also i wanna know what ravage transforms into, wether it be a cassette (doubt it) or even his good ol' puma mode well just have to see.
and whats with prime combining with jetfire, thats just dumb

Because Arcee is a popular character in the TF multiverse. It would be sad (not to mention extremely lame) if they kill her off quickly.

You've got a point though; no confirmation that she's even in the movie.

THe only feasible part is Soundwave. The other things, if they are in the movie are dumb.

Except the leaked call sheet that confirmed she was in the movie. Oh, and Roberto Orci confirming she was in the movie as well.

But yeah, other than that, no confirmation at all.

Of course they are, because you have seen the CGI footage of them doing these things, and it must look terrible.

The other things if in the movie can be cool, if done right. Not like a cartoon with stock footage combining and yelled out attacks everytime.

Who here believes this "inside source" :roll:

Anyhow!!!!! i mean he is starting to sound really FAKE. Pluse if Jetfire and Ops do combined i will really be disappointed.

Well the combined Prime/Jetfire wasn't liked in any shows so far by the majority so why bother putting it in the movie?

Cool to see Scorpinok back, but frankly i don't care about him. I wanna see Brawl, Barricade and Bonecrusher again.
