TFW2005 have reported that the character The Fallen will indeed be in the second Transformers filme, titled Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen.  This is the third rumour from their un-named source, and due to the close ties between TFW and Hasbro many fans are taking the information as facts.

One other possible explaination is that TFW are working alongside Paramount as part of their mis-information campaign (which hasn't previously worked due to fan sites leaking on-set images, video and information).  Could it be that the Devastator and Fallen information are just mis-information, or are they true.  We suggest you make up your own minds.

The Toys R Us Japan website has been updated with new images of Masterpiece Thundercracker, Henkei Ironhide and Henkei Galvatron.

S250 has published part 5 of his Transformers Animated Season 3 PuzzleMaster puzzle which will reveal the identity of a new character for Transformers Animated.  You can find the three new pieces below along with the whole picture that has been revealed so far.

In an interview with Sci-Fi Wire, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman spoke briefly on how they wanted the Transformers sequel to raise the emotional stakes.  Here are some quotes from the article, which can be read in full by click on the link.

"I think the serious answer to your question is, obviously, people will say, 'Look, the explosions are going to be bigger,' but I think Bob and I felt that it was our job--and continues to be our job--to say, 'It's not really about that, because those things, in a way, are a given,'" Kurtzman said.

Orci added: "Yeah, those things are the easy part."

Kurtzman: "What it's about is making sure the emotional stakes feel like they are at a new place and that this movie has a reason to tell itself beyond just 'The studio wants another Transformers

Orci: "And now that the Transformers are characters, how do you bring them to life some more?"

movie.' And a lot of that has to do with 'How do you make this movie more emotional? How does this movie stand out from the first one?'" Transformers 2 is about a month away from the end of principal photography, the writers said. It's slated to open on June 26, 2009

We will be taking all of your responses into consideration in planning for next year, as well as all of the additional comments you may make and we've already had some wonderful ideas come forward and some VERY useful comments that we will be taking on board for next time so those of you who have already responded have started to shape Auto Assembly 2009!
