Notes:
*Arcee's alt mode biggest source of confusion right now. For Transformers 1 her alt mode was a 2006 Buell Firebolt XB1LR. However, script re-writes along with her tiny size (about 9 feet tall) resulted her in being moved to the second movie. Size may no longer be an issue with Frenzy being a proof of concept. Or her size could be augmented with the merging of multiple vehicles. Current contenders for her alt mode include 3 Can-Am Spyders or 2 Trikes seen at the Bethlehem set. However, they could also be NEST vehicles. One report said a purple, pink, blue custom made motorcycle has been seen but that remains unconfirmed.

6/10 - Removed Go-Kart and Porsche as alt modes for Transformers. Checking the call sheet and its formatting of the scene descriptions, both vehicles are probably camera vehicles used for coverage.

6/10 Removed the listing of Jazz (white 2008 Pontiac Solstice) as a potential Transformer in the movie. Despite rumors, there is clearly a move to adding new characters to the movie, not revisting dead ones. Except maybe one based on the movie's title. Besides, Bay himself said "Jazz is dead."

Sources confirmed that the title, Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen is more than meets the eye. The "Fallen" refers directly to ancient Transformer from the comic books. Worshipped/feared as a type of devil by other Transformers, the historic robot has been around since the beginning of the universe. The story actually begins with a god-like character named Primus, who created life, and the 13 original Transformers, to battle his foe, Unicron the massive planet-eater. One of the original 13, the Fallen became the Judas of the group when he betrayed his fellow 'bots and dedicated his life to Unicron. When Unicron was sucked into a black hole into another universe, the Fallen was trapped in the "underspace" between dimensions.

Yes, the banner picture is the Transformers 2 production logo, and we’re all in favor of it. Nice, simple design, and a banner we can throw up with out Transformers 2 stories without having to drudge up screen caps of the original or those old concept art photos of each transformer.

The production logo was culled from a letter sent to anyone living near Bethlehem Steel where Transformers 2 begins shooting tomorrow. The letter warns that there will be “helicopters, large scale pyrotechnics, prop guns, squibs and large lights.” In other words, they are shooting a Michael Bay movie, so you might want to put you earplugs in for your Sunday evening nap.

Also on the Transformers 2 front, a Pontiac Solstice GXP has shown up on location, indicating that Jazz will be back in the film despite being ripped in half by Megatron in the first flick AND Michael Bay’s assertion that Jazz was dead.

You mean we can’t trust Michael Bay, who already said he is going to personally leak false information? Say it isn’t so!

Strung out on Science Fiction

there's a ton of photos and stuff over at Jalopnik... Arcee, Ironhide, Optimus Prime and a few others (Chevy Malibu, Hummer HX, other Chevy prototypes)

Sounds really great for me

So they are taking characters from the comic books that never were on any of the TV series? That's like to unify all the Transformers universes (or something like it)...

So if Primus created life... Do he created also the Allspark?

It is a great idea, I believe, to put the story of the second movie around such characters as Primus and The Fallen, given the fact that Megatron "died" in the first movie. So maybe we will see him on the next sequel or like a second line story on this one.

Also it is the first time we see Unicron on the movies franchise... Which may indicate the possibility of Galvatron too...

I was fearing the fate of Sideswipe, one of my favorite characters from the original TV series... If you can remember, the original Sideswipe transformed into a Lamborghini Countach... I was hoping that by some kind of miracle, on the new movies we could see a Lamborghini Sideswipe but not... the new Sideswipe will be a Chevrolet Corvette C6 ZR1 (according to Wikipedia) or a Corvette Centennial concept (according to jalopnik.com)...
