Tranformers 2 Robots Announced

Paramount Pictures has released the full listing of Autobots and Decepticons in the upcoming Transformers sequel, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen on Yahoo and USA Today. I have compiled all the details and a few new photos after the jump.

Autobots
Optimus Prime: The Autobots’ leader - alternate form: Peterbilt truck (see photo).
Ironhide: Weapons specialist - GMC Topkick.
Ratchet: Medic - Hummer H2.
Bumblebee: Friend and mode of transportation for Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) - 2010 Chevorlet Camaro.
Arcee: A female Autobot - Megan Fox’s hot-pink motorcycle.
Jetfire
: A fighter plane crash-landed on Earth a long time ago, and he will become a reformed Decepticon now fighting for the humans. His alternate form is the SR-71 Blackbird, a sleek Cold War spy plane. “He’s old, craggy, forgetful … doesn’t work very well. Can’t transform very well, because he’s very geriatric. They get stuck with him a lot,” Bay says. “He knows the plan of the bad guys, but he forgets all the good parts of the plan.”
Sideswipe
: A candy-apple red Lamborghini in the original, joins the cast this time as General Motor’s silver Corvette Stingray concept car.
Jolt
: the original toy was a Decepticon, but in the movie he’s a good guy - Chevrolet Volt plug-in hybrid.
Skid & Mudflap: a.k.a. “The Twins” - Chevrolet Beat and Trax concept cars. “Some of the junior Transformers are just dumb,” Bay says with a laugh. “But it’s great for kids because they’re like the Little Engine That Could. They’re (screw)-ups, but they get really heroic at the end.”

Decepticons
Starscream
: Formerly Megatron’s second in command, he escaped at the end of the first movie; F-22 Raptor jet.
Scorponok
: The mechanical scorpion that attacked the American troops in the desert.
The Fallen
: An ancient robot, sort of the Transformers’ version of Lucifer. He’s one of the original robot aliens, and his defiance and arrogance led to his banishment into another dimension. The screenwriters call him “the most elemental bad guy” and say that The Fallen holds the key to life on both Earth and Cybertron, the Transformers’ home planet.
Sideways
: The Audi R8 seen crashing through a building in the trailer.
Soundwave: A cassette player in the original toys. An evil communications expert but this time in the form of an orbiting space satellite.

Ravage: The ultimate spy. A four-legged, cat-like robot. Ravage doesn’t turn into anything. “In the spirit of ‘more than meets the eye,’ Ravage isn’t just lethal because of his sharp teeth,” says screenwriter Alex Kurtzman. “There’s actually another skill set Ravage has that didn’t exist before, so there’s going to be a surprise for fans.” He doesn’t talk like the other Transformers.

The Doctor: A spider-like droid that transforms into various implements of torture.
Wheelie: A small, radio-controlled truck.
Demolisher: One of the Constructicons that transform into construction vehicles.
Devastator: A giant robot formed by the Constructicons joining together; individually, they are: Scavenger, Scrapper, Hightower, Longhaul, Rampage, Overload and Mixmaster. “He’s made of vehicles designed to build, and he turns into is someone who loves to destroy,” Orci says. “He is an agent of absolute chaos.” Michael Bay says that when Steven Spielberg saw Devastator, he said “This is (expletive) awesome!’ ” Bay says,  “It’s always nice when you can make him swear.”
Megatron (unannounced)

MeganFox.net also has a few new photos as well:

  • Skid & Mudflap - hmmm, it must take a genuis to come up with names like these. Any case, I think the movie will be great! Go Megan
  • Bazman
    I got the feeling they are gonna be very, very annoying....
  • dxr
    Soundwave not being a cassette player makes me very sad ;_;
  • Infrafan
    Just one of the many tears I've shed for Michael Bay's Transformers. And if they don't transformer, then you can't call them TRANSFORMERS. Save that for Michael Bay's Forms.
  • Mmm.. megan fox riding a female transformer.. I likey.
  • Switch that around and I'm in.
  • JP Dyno
    Anyone else think its odd that there is a 'sideswipe' and a 'sideways'? that just seems silly to me.
  • I somehow feel a rejuvenated enthusiasm in life.
  • The Variety article mentioned 60 robots

    "Everyone involved in "Revenge of the Fallen" is keeping the details under wraps, but Farrar says there are some 60 robot characters, and they play in settings around the world. Some, like refineries at night, were chosen to boost the visual drama and show off the scale of the giant 'bots.

    What's more, this time the Transformers will interact much more with the world around them. Farrar highlights "the splashes and the hits and the fighting on dirt or moving, banging into trees," explaining, "Things splinter and break, they spit, they outgas, they sweat, they snort."
  • That's alot of Robots for one movie, how are they going to fit all those in one film? I guess I'm asking is how long is this movie going to be, run time anyone?
  • runtime will be between 2 hrs and 2 hrs and 15 minutes. they said they will cut it down to final in a few weeks.
  • Yeah I figured it would be around the 2 hour mark. From what I've heard, this movie is going to be non stop action for the entire length of the film. I really just hope that this movie doesn't suck and be a waste of my money.
  • mangos
    why is shia in his mutt garb?
  • Lpfanaddy
    that is strange... and why are they using the same setting as the desert showdown from the first film?
  • Cat
    They left out a bunch including megs so he must not be in it too much. That sucks but I'm sure it will still be awesome!
  • In a "surprise" move for Michael Bay nearly all the Autobots are bankrupt GM vehicles. Christ. I remember when Transformers used to be about variety.

    Also, why does bay have a knack for not having characters...stick to their characters? Seriously, first Jazz now Jetfire. bay makes no sense.
  • Yeah seriously. Michael Bay replaces a freakin' Lamborghini with a Corvette Stingray concept - wtf.
  • Forgive my possible ignorance, but how is this new? I thought we already covered all of this in the past few months.
  • Transformers... more than pokes your eye!
  • Seeing Devastator in Imax is going to be epic! I'm glad they haven't shown him at all in the trailer.
  • yeah watch out for the upcoming trailer...i have a feeling we just might see a clip of him. close your eyes!
  • starscream9289
    Jesus Christ! Everybody on the planet knows that Megatron is gonna come back. We've seen the toys, the concept art, even his fingers grabbing Shia on the trailer.
  • edog
    Is it me, or does the top pic look like the evil spider cousin of Johnny 5 of Short Circuit?
  • This_Is_Why
    I was thinking kind of like Dr. Cockroach PhD. from Monsters Vs. Aliens. But knowing how biased Slashfilm is against DreamWorks I'm probably the only person who enjoyed it.
  • freemachine
    So Bay is still playing coy regarding Megatron's appearance? What an ass.
  • I'm looking forward to this movie. This film unlike its predecessor according to interviews with the writers and along with other information thats been released indicates that ROTF will concentrate on the Autobots and Decipticon conflict and less on the human stories (which grew tiresome in the first film)

    The effects looked pretty good in the first teaser trailer and they still have a great deal of time left to polish up.
  • I was under the impression that "The Fallen" was a race of robots. So, it's just one robot? bleh.
  • Cat
    What gave you that idea? The fallen is one badass transformer!
  • Nerd, but then again so am i but a Vette is better then that Italian piece trash.
  • Wall-E meets a spider in that first picture, maybe it's a Kill-U. Nothing new here i have a feeling the twins will be the new Anthony Anderson for this one.
  • Geet
    Aww Wheelie's a bad guy? Oh well. What did I expect from Bay-O-Tron.
  • NO NO NO not Soundwave again!!!!!
  • How big of a role do you guys think Megatron will have in this film? I saw this list somewhere else and it didn't have him on it but he' supposedly in the movie. I'm just wondering what you guys think.
  • Yeah but with 60 robots the focus is going to be all over the place.
  • “Some of the junior Transformers are just dumb,” Bay says with a laugh. “But it’s great for kids because they’re like the Little Engine That Could. They’re (screw)-ups, but they get really heroic at the end.”

    Well, shit. I suddenly have a case of the Jar-Jars. This is what I hate about the Bay-a-tron - he sets us all up with some serious potential for epic spectacles - Devastator vs. Prime / Jetfire combo....but the whole scope is then constrained by "the bits for the kiddies".

    Studios never seem to get kids and what they want from their movies....they don't want the comedy, they want to see robots kicking the shit out of each other. An amusing robot that farts (it's going to be the junior Go-bots) just sours the whole deal.

    END OF LINE
  • couldn't explain that one to ya. confuses me but stingray is still pretty phat.
  • Cat
    It will be entertaining and show off some awesome fx to say the least. Some stupid comedic parts but it will still be badass. I'm seeing it in IMax.
  • It would be nice to see it in Imax but I'll most likely stick to the regular old theater. The biggest draw for me is the special effects and action and I guess Megan Fox. If this film has tons of all three of those things, it could break Box Office records.
  • sizedwhite
    when are they coming out with the dinobots??????
  • The1AndOnly
    Megatron will come back, of course, because he still has some of the All Spark power. that resurects him. in the trailer those arent megatrons fingers that attack sam, dumbass StarBlazer101, if u watched the WHOLE trailer it shows starscream attacking sam with little robot arms that pop out of his chest
  • Kjjjjj
    Umm ya, so apparently bay has resurected megatron, i got a leak that not only to the autobots lose, but shias parents (in the movie) die, and now his revenge is on the decepticons.
  • Johnny
    well... it was crap.
  • looks good
