Here is a nice article that discusses Revenge of the Fallen and has a really nice section on the characters and bots that are appearing in the film. May contain spoilers.

edit: I do not think there is anything that is really new as far as news is concerned, but it is a nice article.

Ok.. I am guessing that site (like wikipedia) can be edited by anyone (hence the login at the top).

Having said that, one of the cons in that article contradicts Bay's statement here

viewtopic.php?f=44&t=48499

Michael Bay has revealed that villain Megatron will not be a part of Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen.

The director denied that the character makes an appearance in the movie sequel, due out this summer, insisting that a recent toy of the Decepticon is not related to the film.

"He's not in this movie. That's not misinformation. The tank design you may have seen is just Hasbro coming up with a new toy," he told Empire.

Instead, new villain The Fallen will oppose the Autobots in the summer blockbuster, while new Decepticon Devastator will appear in the Pyramid sequence.

"Imagine six or seven or eight massive earth-moving vehicles, with tires as big as [a] tree. It's going to be gigantic," Bay said of the latter.

So I wonder how accurate is that article?

Not returning & Dead

1. Megatron is confirmed not to be in the movie but he could be shown in flash-back scenes or a short cameo.

2. Jazz is officialy dead also not returning.


Rumored Characters

1. Shockwave - Possible Submarine ALT Mode
2. Trailbreaker - I say Art Work of him but could be Fanmade
3. Hound - Also more Fan Speculations
4. Aerial Bots Superion to combat Devestator
5. Devestator has been heavily rumored but no Construction Vechicles have been seen in any of the set pics we have seen.
6. Audi-R8 is an unkown Decipticon maybe a new character


Confirmerd Characters

Optimus Prime
BumbleBee
Iron Hide
Ratchet
The Twins (Tracks & Skids)
Jet Fire
Barricade
Soundwave
Starscream
Arcee
Scorpinok
Frenzy

The Fallen - The Main Bad Guy Villian Excoskelton with Tentacles
robot we have seen stuck in the Wall maybe that set is being used for the Egyption Temple Scenes.

Also could be more characters announced cause the decepticons have hardly been talked about.


But some of the characters I have metioned have been confirmed, Other characters are The ROTF Toylines, and others are unconfirmed rumors.

SUPERION?!? Are they sh!ttin' us ? I saw that mentioned over at ign too.

[Energon]

Thanks for the better list.

HaHa Superion, if the Decepticons get combiners then it would make sense to have an Autobot combiner so they can sell more toys in one easy batch. That's 10 right there. HaHa Would combiners make for a better movie? Who knows.

According to the trivia page for the movie at imdb.com Hound will be in the movie, at the request of the U.S. Army.

superion is not gonna be in it just because he has a energon repaint doesn't mean he's a character also if you think about it if he's made of 5 jets he would tower over everyone even Devistator. I guess you could make the argument he would fight the fallen but I think prime and jetfire will.

[Rodimus2006]

I think it makes since that the Aerial Bots and Constructicons will be in the movie.


The Aieral Bots could scan various Military Jets & Helicpoters.


The Constricons can scan Various Construction Vehicles such as Earth Movers, Back Hoes, Cement Mixers, and Dump Trucks.


If HOUND is in deed in the movie at the Miltaries request of him, then it is possible he would be the N.E.S.T. Hummer Trucks we have seen in various photos.

Also I think that Soundwave is a Cybertronian Dish at the Beginning of the Film then later will scan a Earth Vehicle of that of a Chevy Siverado Pick-Up Truck.

Also most of the bots are GMC or Chevy Cars minus that of the Audi R8 which is a foriegn sports car.

Other Bots are Military Vehicles and Equipment.


I remember them saying that some Bots will transform into Weapons, I am starting to think maybe that it will be just like with the Mountain Dew Machine, the Xbox 360 and the Phone sort of like that and that no official transformers will actually be weapons maybe Shockwave will be but I think he will be Submarine or something of that nature.

I hope in Transformers 3 they will bring in

Dinobots
Protecto Bots
Trypticon
Havoc - He is a Triple Changer Starscream's Freind in S3 G1.
Beach Comber
The Insecticons
Cyclonus
Scourge
Springer
Wreck-Gar
Dirge
Thrust
Ram Jet
Cos-Mos
Power Glide
Elita-1

They said that they couldnt figure out on how to work the Dinobots into the Film.

That is easy man, Look they are already at the Smithsonian right, just have one of the Transformers do Various scans of the Dino's then Build them in a secret location.

[5kywarp]

why no Ultra Magnus? I'm gutted.

[Decepticon Spike]

I saw pics of a movie Springer toy. Is he in the movie, or just part of the "expanded universe" like a lot of the toys from the first movie?

[Kortex]

I dont think Hound will be a NEST vehicule or neither a military Hummer cuz from the pics weve seen theres more than one NEST vehicule and same for the Hummer and lets face it, the Hummer is ugly as **** and Ratchet is already a Hummer... I hope Hound is in but not as a hummer or NEST vehicule... And dont forget he was a jeep.. a small jeep....
