Transformers 2 Arcee bikes via Sean Haworth

FofR — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 18:03:48 +0000

Because the movie didn’t really show us much of these, here are some shots of the custom designed Arcee bikes via Visual Effects Art Director, Sean Haworth.

And a shot of the twins for good measure,

Awesome Transformers 2 concept art from Ben Procter

FofR — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 20:43:04 +0000

Transformers 2 art work from Ben Proctor reveals the robots that made the cut, and more interestingly, those that didn’t. Stealth boats, nuclear subs that take down aircraft carriers and alternative constructicons. We also get a look at the inner workings of many decepticons, including eye details on The Fallen, an early Devastator design and pretender Alice, tongue and all.

Even more Transformers 2 TV Spots, “Ancient Power”, “Everything”, “Bumblebee”

Ancient Power

I’d consider this one a bit spoilerish. Sideswipe attacking Sideways quite viciously, “they’ve been here a long time”, Megatron on the pyramids.

Everything

Little new snippet of The Fallen in this one. “Don’t freak out!”

Bumblebee

Lots more of Devastator’s transformation.

Legends class Devastator pics, Overload in detail

FofR — Thu, 28 May 2009 11:05:20 +0000

A few more pictures of the Legends class Devastator toy have surfaced via ACToys, this is the version that combines seven vehicles into one robot, as well as each vehicle having its own robot mode. This also our first good look at Overload that bears some resemblance to Long Haul.

Five new Official Photos; Megan Fox, Optimus Prime

FofR — Mon, 18 May 2009 19:04:50 +0000

Five new Official Transformers 2 photos show Megan Fox in a leather jacket, Sam Witwicky in front of Bumblebee, Optimus Prime driving off an aircraft, the Autobots and Tyrese Gibson.

Optimus Prime driving off a large aircraft is particularly interesting – notably the plane could be the as of yet unnamed (but similar to ‘Silverbot’) aircraft autobot that we have seen in toy form.

Autobot Aircraft toy spotted, carries Optimus Prime

FofR — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 21:43:28 +0000

Yayabee at The Arker has posted images of a new Transformers 2 toy. It is an autobot that appears to have an alt mode of a Antonov An-225 aircraft – inside it carries a very small Optimus Prime. The AN-225 is a Russian craft that matches the rear wing and underside design of the toy as well as carrying a spacecraft on top, though it has two additional engines and the nose cone appears different. It also has similarities with the C-130 Hercules.

Whether this character shall appear in ROTF is debatable – it is plausible that the Autobots board the craft (maybe at the Boneyard) to travel to Egypt, but it doesn’t make sense for a Russian plane to be there. Another angle is the craft is originally supplied by the combined UN force in a bid to help fight the Decepticons.

Wheelie out of the box in alt mode
