Things go by so fast in the new Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen movie trailer, that you’re likely to miss some things. Here are a couple cool things we noticed while going frame by frame. For instance,did you see the motorcycle-transforming Transformers? How about The Fallen? Or Jetfire? And what was that bug thing? All this and more after the jump.

Remember the scene where a Decepticon burst through a building and down an alley with Autobots in pursuit? Did you notice that the Autobots were actually Transformers with Motorcycle alt modes?

That’s right, Arcee. Here is a concept drawing of the Transformers that was created but never used for the first film. Looks like they finally figured out how to bring Arcee to life on the big screen.

Or how about the red O&K/Terex RH400 Hydraulic Mining Excavator that transforms into the Decepticon known as either Scavenger or Demolisher.

This is just one of the six Constructicons that combine together to form the massive Devastator. You see him in a later clip destroying helicopters at the Asian power plant (this is the film’s opening sequence).

And that’s also him, destroying some Asian highway before Optimus shows up and jumps on the Constructicons neck.

And what exactly is that fly-sized Decepticon bug that Sam pulls apart? Is it an Inseticon?

And in the desert sequence, that is Scorponok…

…who is attacking Jetfire.

And last but not least, we get to see the main villain. The title character from the film - The Fallen appear in the desert out of thin air after a collection of lightning hits the ground.

You might reccognize his mug from the film’s official teaser poster.

  • can't wait
  • albertordz
    Does anybody know something about the Evangelion Live Action movie I cant believe they haven't done something, it would be bigger than transformers because of the story
  • Wow!

    Totally missed the fallen! it was so quick i didnt see!

    and that bug thing is scorponok?? lol

    and love arcee!
  • AliComb
    Didn't see any of that in the trailer, look quite cool I say so
  • It looks like you put a lot of work into this Peter. Thanks!
  • Asset
    Here's the google Street maps link.

    That''s not some Asian Hwy in the fourth screen shot . That's the L B C. Whut Whut! That's Long Beach, CA in laymen's terms. It was shot on Queen's Way (bridge), Long Beach CA. You can actually see it on street view via Google Street maps. I saw it being filmed there so it was easy to pick out.__
  • I look forward to this movie - but this post brings up one problem I hope I don't have. There won't be any freeze frame or close-ups in the theater, and I do worry that it will all go by so fast that I'll need to see it again just to know what happened.

    Watch a fight scene in Bourne Ultimatum and what really stands out is you know who is kicking who, and where. I hope Bay can pull back a little and slow the cuts so the audience can see what's happening (which the slower shot of Optimus on the Constructicons neck - which is clear to see - suggests)
  • Good call. Granted it's only a two minute teaser, but just from the footage we've seen it looks like he's locked the camera down so it's not shaking and he's pulling the camera back to give a sense of what's going on.

    Though, I imagine that if you've got bots the size of the Constructicons and Devastator you've gotta get that camera pulled back pretty far.
  • Thanks /film for being a film website that actually manages to strike a balance between the popcorn flicks and the serious films.

    Also, I want to point out that Jetfire is supposed to be a geriatric robot in this movie. Think of him like the new Kup (from the '86 movie). That thing is his hand is his landing gear, and he uses it as a cane.
  • Wow thanks for putting the still images up Peter. I have to say that I didn't recognize most of the scenes because it was going by so fast. I guess I'll have to watch it a few more times.
  • Turcicus
    He's confirmed confirmed. He's an SR-71 Blackbird, apparently stashed at the Smithsonian's branch of the Air and Space Museum at Dulles airport (there was a story here at /Film about it several months ago).
  • cat
    man i can't believe i have to wait four months!!!!!!!!
    there is still no sign of devastator though. all those shots but no sign. i wouldn't show it in a trailer anyway. why give it away? if he's in it I will be shocked to see the end result.
  • Joey
    Who is The Fallen? A new Decepticon? Or Megatron???
  • The Fallen, according to the comics, was one of the original 13 Transformers by Primus (God, basically). The Fallen eventually went crazy and became a disciple of Unicron (The Devil).

    In the books The Fallen is constantly on fire, and is nothing short of a supreme badass.
  • Eddie
    yes..i noticed 8+ off in the distance..
  • That ad is hilarious every time
  • dude that's brilliant. thanks for all the screen caps. there really is just too much stuff going on, and i always forget to pause the screen cause i am so damn excited. cheers,
  • Peter, I think it's great you're into the Transformers sequel. We get awesome breakdown coverage like this, very fun. And haters, that's all this is. Good fun.
  • I can picture it now, a robot sex scene not unlike the marionette scene in Team America.
  • Corey J
    I can't even tell what half of this stuff is from still images... but that can't be right, can it? I mean, the first film was SO easy to follow what's on screen...
  • Thank you for this excellent breakdown! I had no idea all of that was in the trailer, it goes by so fast.
  • Chris
    Oh wow, I didn't even notice The Fallen, good job Peter.
  • cat
    Where did u download it from in hd?
  • nick
    The bug looks like it might be a part of soundwave since he is in the film this time around. instead of being a tape deck with cassettes for his spy's.
  • Cat
    Slashfilm you guys have hooked it up! Awesome letting us see the fallen! He looks sick!
  • Nice article there Peter which helped me recognise/acknowledge a couple of, if not everything that I missed. Then again the trailer goes by that fast (Mr Bay, certainly does love his quick jump-cuts) that unless you pay thorough attention (which I didn't), you will certainly miss quite a bit of delightful visual information.
  • Jetfire looks pretty cool...
  • You are such a douche.
  • Eddie
    i downloaded the trailer and i actually saw 8+ landing there..
    i downloaded the hd version and noticed more off in the distance
  • cat
    Eddie, thanks bro. That's the best link I've seen yet for the movie. all kinds of info and the hd trailer is sexy! woohooooooooooooooo
  • Eddie
    No problem bro..suprised hardly anyone knows about it..Its a good place to go... its all about Transformers
  • optimusprime
    are u talking about the scene where we see three pyramids in the distance
  • optimusprime
    I haven't notice that. I check out later
  • Darrin
    i wonder if bumble bee goin to hook up with Arcee
  • The wheel thinggy is named either Scavenger or Demolisher, and is only one of the constructicons that makes up Devastator.
  • Wow. I may not be looking forward to this movie for the story but the action and epic scale looks bad ass.

    Will def see it in theaters
  • i thought it was written (re: speculated) that the huge wheel thingy was a constructicon, that would eventually be a part of the devastator.
  • About that fly-sized Decepticon bug. Who could that be ? Or who could send him, to find sam ?

    And i hopes The Fallen gets his Revenge. Because he is... he is The Fallen !
    He probaly have "God Like" powers that no one Transformer have, like Teleportations and that stuff. Its because he is 1 of the 13 original Transformers.

  • optimusprime
    I heard there actually 6 protoforms that landed on Egypt and I saw it in picture as well.
  • This movie will be BIGGER and DARKER just as Michael Bay said.
  • that's not rumer.. that's fact lol
  • ssss
    the big transformers hand that was on the sam...it was the megatrons hand
  • Turcicus
    That's Starscream's hand. More of that scene was shown in the Super Bowl teaser.
  • scotty
    I agree. I noticed a couple of these but couldnt get the right frame to see in any detail.

    but weren't insecticons big but just shaped like insects but it's not like that would be the 1st thing changed i suppose. i cant remember exactly.

    i'm really looking forward to this. i'm just hoping they put a bit more effort into the story this time. once i got over the "holy shit" factor and watched it again on dvd i noticed the story really was nonsense but amazing nonsense.

    thanks for the stills
  • Really? They are alien robots that turn into vehicles.... and giant scorpions.
  • michael gay
    here's what i noticed: a trailer that moves too god damn fast and blurs a bunch of crappy cgi nuts and bolts so fan boys will go OOOOOOO. trailers should not need to placed in super slo-mo and screencapped to understand what is going on.

    god damn michael bay
  • omg, just stuned
