Spoiler Filled EMPIRE Magazine Image Descriptions

Posted by Tigertrack Dec 29, 2008 at 9:31pm CST 89,746 views
Empire Magazine Online- The previous images and story we shared from Empire magazine teased an article about the new Transformers movie in their upcoming issue. Apparently, some people have gotten word of material written in the article, and share it below.


*Possible Movie Spoilers Below*




http://www.empireonline.com/magazine/interactive.asp

{L_IMAGE}

*Bay and LaBeouf confirm the Fallen is a separate character. The Fallen was described by Bay as "Apocalyptic"
*Egyptian hieroglyphics, turn out to be depictions of Transformers who visited Earth before the pyramids were built.
*Bay claims Megatron is not coming back and the tank is just a new toy.
*Around 40 robots.
*Budget is $200 million.
*Ramon Rodriguez is the one holding on for dear life to a pole while cars are flung.
*Devastator appears at the pyramid, he's probably 50 feet tall because that's the height of the camera crane they used on location.




What do you think about these movie claims? Bay misinformation, or truth? Have you read the article? Share your thoughts below!

Grabbed this image from Alienboy at TFW, but not sure where he got it.

You can clearly see Blackout, Scorponok and Starscream which supports Point #2...

*Egyptian hieroglyphics, turn out to be depictions of Transformers who visited Earth before the pyramids were built.

Although, how they have modern alt modes in an Egyptian hieroglyph is beyond me. That's why I'm not sure if Alienbot made this, or got it from the magazine.

i think half of its true the megatron thing could go either half & half i find it hard to belive there is concept movie art for character just for a toy devastator posiible 50 tall still think hes aslightyl bigger than 50 feet tall 6 or 7 bots to form one big one.

i knew if i refreased the home page soon enough there would be some more news one thing im glad about get to see devastator in the brightest light nad the darkest of places.

barley made out blackout at first when he transformed in the first scene in robot mode easery to see what bots look like in the day time than the nihgt

Those are actual real-life hieroglypics with erosion that look like modern vehicles. See here:

They should have done that in the 1st movie so we would still have Jazz

I have a hunch Bay watched Armada. The Egyptian Hyrogliphics are of Transformers? Armada.
Jetfire combines with optimus? Armada.
Megs is a tank? Armada

Megatron was a tank long before Aramada...

That's only on the technicality that Megatron could no longer be a gun. Though why we couldn't turn him into something like G1 Galvatron or Shockwave in some turret/laser gun is beyond me.

A gun was a terrible idea to begin with!

Anyway, has anyone thought that when he says Megatron isn't in it, that maybe Galvatron is instead?

Naw I don't think Bay would think of that, I mean on a creative scale he did good but sometimes killing the main bad guy and not having him return in an old or even a new form is a dumb idea.

Though as long as they don't pull a Galactus or something, by having the new villain hide behind a CGI cloud.

And even more thinking that's why Spider-Man was a bad movie trilogy. I know in this day it's a matter of realism and kinda annoying to have the same villains coming back but the way those movies go it's like he won't have anyone to fight. Not to mention they pushed too much on the Green Goblin being the main villain/rival in all three movies.

If Megatron isn't in the new movie, and the tank is a new character, then how did we get this?

http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/ ... ers/14783/

Yes, I know... it's a news item from this website. But still, that's a package made by Hasbro. Why would Hasbro give us a FAB Megatron, in a new tank mode, if he wasn't gonna show up? I can understand Bay's use of the misinformation stuff, trying to keep the movie secret and all, but I think he needs to research better, otherwise he might just look like an @$$...

The same reason that we got FAB Ramjet and Voyager Thundercracker from the first movie line, to sell toys!!! It's all about the benjamins!!

The bit about the hieroglyphs was fascinating...thanks for the link Griffin. Always like to learn a little more about history...

40 bots? That's more than was in the original line release back in 1984! Awesome stuff!

No Megatron...bummer. I'd wager we see him revived though at the end of the movie just to lead to TF3.

An actual Fallen character huh? Interesting. Apocolyptic? That sounds more like Unicron than anything.

I'm hyped. Show me a teaser trailer and I'll be ready to rock.
