Human Alliance Bumblebee Video Review

Below is the two part review of Human Alliance Bumblebee with Sam toy from Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen toy line. The videos are longer due to a very detailed explanation of his transformation. Overall it appears the Human Alliance sub line is a huge improvement over its first movie incarnation which was essentially the deluxe toy paired with a crappy piece of plastic in a vague shape of a human character. Now the toy is clearly designed specially to accommodate a more detail human action figure resulting in a toy that is about 1.5x bigger than its deluxe counterpart. Overall it is a solid toy that might be worth buy instead of the deluxe version.

Satellite Soundwave Images

Here are two CGI images of Soundwave that are from Paramount UK's website I posted about earlier. He extracted them from the flash file so all the website stuff is removed so we could get a good look at the character in all his CGI glory (or lack of depending on your opinion).

KFC Malaysia Transformers ROTF Toys

Hey Malaysian, you might want to check out the local KFC as they are offering Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen toys with their Chicky Meal that appears to actually transform (unlike Burger Kings toys). Whether these toys will go to KFC's worldwide I don't know, probably depends on various promotional agreements in each region (for example Burger King has the US market). Thanks to Choong for the pictures.

Transformers 2 Auditions

Paramount UK has embraced Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen in a way that Paramount US just hasn't bothered to do. They have a UK specific website that is better and easier to navigate and includes a look at Soundwave in satellite mode (click "Enter Website, click NAV on top left, thanks Chris). They have contests to win tickets and swag and a twitter page to keep up with everything.

In addition, they even went so far as to create Transformers 2 "audition" tapes that are amusing to watch. I would have embedded all five but they are all set to auto
play so instead click here to watch them.

Extended Cut of Tokyo World Premiere

A new extended cut of the Tokyo World Premiere video for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is now up that includes an additional two minutes of footage that shows the stage being built and the press conference with Bay and the cast. Of note is a nervous Isabel Lucas who is still getting her sea legs for this level of attention, something the rest of the cast are now well versed in thanks to the first movie's press tour.

Two New ROTF Scenes in German

Below are two clips from Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen that show NEST hunting for Demolisher and Wheelie. The clips are in German but it’s a Michael Bay film so words are not as important as the visuals anyway. To view the clips on from their German websites click here and here.





From the comments, here is an english translation of the Wheelie scene.

Sam:"Hello,Mikaela?"
Mikaela:"I cant believe you dumped me on our first Webcam date."
Sam:"Speed reading...I'm having a nervous breakdown...I´m now seeing this symbols since..."
Mikaela:"Since when?"
Sam:"Since I touched the cube shard....do you still have it?"
Mikaela:"Of course it is in our safe, everythings fine."
Sam:"M..Mikaela you will not touch it Ok? Dont touch it."
Mikaela:"I will not touch it..Sam it is locked in the Safe in the garage nobody knows where it is."

Wheelie:"I do...you are hot but not very smart...come on...thats fine,that will work..AAH...this damn douchebag."
Wheelie to the dog:"What are you looking at dogface?!..what the?..this place is an absolute nightmare..pain..thath hurts...oh god.."
Mikaela noticing wheelie
Mikaela:"One second.."
Wheelie:"That..hurts...that was the Five aaannd *does the weird noise.*and click."
Gets captured by Mikaela
Wheelie:"Thats all you got?!"
Mikaela:"What do you want here you little freak!"
Wheelie:"Thats my eye you dopey cow!! Easy Wargoddess,I´m just a small scrapmetal drone."
Mikaela:"And I´m your worst nightmare."

Ice Cream Truck Twins Gallery

TF08.net has finally posted a full gallery that shows off the Deluxe class Ice Cream Truck Twins that to be is probably one of the few must have toys of the Revenge of the Fallen toy line (along with Sideswipe and Ransack). Skids (huge left eye when facing him) is the front, Mudflap (huge right eye) the rear. Below are a few images with the entire gallery here.

E.T.'s Megan Fox Interview

Last week's Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen bit from Entertainment Weekly was heavy on Shia LaBeouf and light on Megan Fox and now we know why. They were saving that interview for this week when the actress briefly talks Transformers 2 (bigger everything) and discusses her sudden fame.

Sneak Peek: Linkin Park

From MTV, below is the second behind the scenes video for Linkin Park's New Divide from the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Soundtrack. The single is now available on iTunes. The first behind the scenes video can be seen here. The current rumor is the video will be released on June 12th but that has not been officially verified to my knowledge.

Transformers ROTF delays Harry Potter 6 Debut

At this point it is pretty clear that the war for summer box office king is going to be between Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. To stoke the flames for Potter fans, it turns out they are going to have to wait two weeks to July 29th before they can watch the movie on the IMAX. On the bright side they can still watch it on standard screens on July 15th.

Now the change isn't really Transformers fault, its Warner Bros. who forgot to check the IMAX schedule when they moved Harry Potter from a Christmas release to the summer and didn't realize that Transformers 2 was contractually locked in for four weeks due to incorporating IMAX style footage into the film.

The main takeaway, besides mild amusement, is the knowledge that you have only one month to watch Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen The IMAX Experience which includes extended scenes, several with CGI elements at the IMAX scale, a first for the format.

Transformers ROTF Tokyo Premiere

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen has made its official worldwide debut in Tokyo, Japan with the "human" cast and director Bay in attendance. There was also a rather smoky filled and "dramatic" appearance by Bumblebee that probably wouldn't fly in the states. In addition, below are a few spoilers about the film from someone at the premiere as they write about a few plot beats and the Transformers voices, look, and how used in the film.

Update: Pictures of the cast from the premiere. Long story short, the ladies looked amazing and Shia needs to shave that mess off his face. Not sure what is next on the premiere train but assume it is the London Premiere on the 15th.

Below are spoilers, now in invisio-text so highlight to read. I would have done it to begin with but honestly didn't thing it revealed anything that wasn't already pretty obvious from the trailers, novels, and comics but comments here and elsewhere indicate that was a false assumption.

Spoiler :

Ok guys just got back! Don't have much time to post, don't wanna miss the train but here's some quick stuff.

Movie was incredible, I liked it much more than the first! More action, more robots, less humans! Though there are some lame sexual inuendos like Wheelie humping Megan's leg.

Anyway, Bay and the actors came right into the theater and introduced the film. I was tempted to scream "Don Murphy Stooges #1" but I didn't want to get led out by security!

The VA thing in the credits was way too fast, sorry guys. The Fallen was Todd something. Welker does voice Soundwave, and Devastator too. Devastator has one line, screaming his name. Soundwave only has a few lines but he speaks English. But he never comes down to earth and never turns into a robot. Bleah. Very little screen time, but at least he doesn't get exploded which leaves things open for the third movie.

Mostly English, not much cybertronian.

The Twins were lame. As in the "bust a cap in you ass" stereotype. I could've done without them.

Jetfire was comic relief. He has a British accent and reminded me of a Monty Python character. He doesn't "combine" with Prime in the normal sense, he gets fatally wounded and rips out his spark, killing himself so Prime can use his parts.

Wheelie is nothing like G1 Wheelie. He kinda reminds me of Rattrap.

Lots of kitchen bots. One was a Samurai too. Bludgeon?

Only named Constructicon is Rampage, and he is red.

Megatron is revived by some Constructicons and "The Doctor."

Sideways never transforms, he is cut in half by Sideswipe in the first battle scene in car mode. Sideswipe is cool. Ravage is cool too.

There was a bot that looked like Blackout but he was not named. Blackout himself was never revived so I can't say it was him. He did not speak and was not named in the credits. In fact in the last battle scene there were tons of, well, "repaints," basically reused animation. So even after Devastator forms, there are still constructicons running around. And some Protoforms. I even saw a truck that looked like Bonecrusher...though I never saw him in robot mode. Scorponok is in the final battle too and is killed by Jetfire in about 2 seconds.

There are three motorcycles, but they appear to be named collectively Arcee. Not much screen time/lines for them anyway.

The term "Matrix of Leadership" is used, it's a key that operates a device to draw energy from the sun.

Beware of This !

This guy was shopping at his local Walmart recently, he was doing my normal rounds for Transformers sightings when he found all the newly released Transformers Revenge of the Fallen toys in all their glory.

As he gazed at all the figures and admired the alt modes for them he looked at the lone two leader class figures they had, Optimus Prime and Megatron. Now of all the ROTF figures, Optimus was one I definately wanted to see in hand but when he grabbed him he was met with an unpleasant surprise.

Yes, it was the 2007 figure release in ROTF packaging. Megatron was also the 2007 regular figure, before Premium that is, in the ROTF packaging. Upon closer investigation it turned out that it was a returned item. Whoever returned it took the time to not only completey retape the package over the old tape, but the twisty tied the figures back also.

He brought this to the attention of Walmart customer service to which they just had to take the figures out of stock, but given the figures are very close in size to the last films release, this may not be an isolated incident. He had to literally point out all the differences of the figures to the customer service associates because they couldn't tell the difference between them.

Guys, make sure you look at your figures and not just grab them and go. I always scrutinize every figure I buy to make sure the packaging hasn't been tampered with and that all the pieces are there. So, beware!

More Bumblebee, Prime, Demolisher & Devastator Still

A few new movie stills are now online from Celebutopia. They show off Bumblebee, Demolisher, Prime looking bad-ass with his swords and Devastator looking small (yet still awesome) in the desert. You can also barely see the twins (Skids & Mudflap) standing in the open area in the devastator still.












Chevy Camaro Transformers Comercial

It's my turn....

After waiting for a week...i finally get myself ROTF toys. Now still waiting others to come. Esspecially Leader Prime, he is so awesome. But i think i will wait for the twin pack which comes with the leader jetfire. So i no need to buy him twice. Still waiting~~



As you can see i bought 3 sideswipe. I think he is very very cool in his vehicle mode. Heard rumors said that the price for sideswipe might increases very fast just like what happened to deluxe bumblebee 2009 in 2007. And also the helmet, this is my first time to buy a helmet~~ wonder anybody wear this when they riding a bike. LOL.
Anyway, going to 1U later, hope to hunt for more TF!
