The TFW insider has returned with another rumor ’scoop’, proposing that Isabel Lucas’ character, Alice, will be a Pretender.

The TFW TF2 Insider has confirmed that the character of Alice, as played by Isabel Lucas, in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, is a Pretender. For those not familiar with Transformers sub-lines from the 1980s, Pretenders are Transformers that are hidden inside a shell that acts as their disguise. In the case of Alice, the shell will be an attractive human woman while the inner robot is best described as a hybrid of the Frenzy robot design from the first movie. The Pretender Transformer will have an arm that transforms into an energy weapon, a long tongue, and a scanning tentacle.

This block of text explains what a Pretender is; principally a robot surrounded by an organic shell – in this case Isabel Lucas. Wikipedia reveals more details about the fiction behind them, their introduction in 1988 and so on. We’ve already seen Alice involved with some messy green goo and an angry bumblebee, what does that now suggest? Another scene also shows Alice walking calmly away from some sort of panic or destruction suggesting something sinister.

Thanks for the heads up Miguel!
